Hey naniu,
I looked at your profile and you have a similar reason to mine for losing weight: Get your life back. I thinks its a great reason.
Best of luck to everyone.
I continue the effort... as we all do.

Hello out there. This was a great group. I wasn't so good and dropped off the face of the earth for a while. Where is everyone out there. We need to stick together. It is so hard to get back in the swing of things. I am really not feeling good about my self or my decisions. I just keep thinking why aren't you helping yourself and then the next thing I know, I have just eaten stuff I should not have. Where is the will power hiding?0

HI everyone! I would love to be a part of this group. I need to lose at least 50lbs. I have done ever diet but I have reached a time in my life that I realize I just have to do it and its about a life style change. Some days are easier then others but I'm hanging in there.

Hey everyone, I am really thinking about joining Weight Watchers again. Maybe the face to face support is what I need. I am not saying I would leave this site, just do that as well. Are others doing that? Is it helping you? This may be kind of crazy . . . trying to get started again right before the holidays. Then again, it might be more crazy not to.0

Oh! I forgot to say Welcome gr8fulal36. How are you doing?0

I think starting before the holidays is the perfect time to start. If not you just might not even care about what you are eating, where as this way you will at least pay attention to what it is you are eating and then you have to make up your mind if it is worth it. I know that the holidays are tough. I have chocolate popcorn in my house right now that I am fighting against eating. Lucky Me

I am currently doing weight watchers. I am not calorie counting here but still using the site for support. I dont know what I would do without these people.
If you decide to start using Weight Watchers then let me know. We can be each others support system. Share idea's and keep each other motivated.

:flowerforyou: I'm in!!
And I like the check in idea!! But I will only be checking in every two weeks, the scale depresses me :laugh:
I am concentrating more on how I feel, and my measurements
Anyway.. my short term goal is just to look and feel better by March, my husband is deployed for a year, I haven't seen him in 6 months, and for his R&R in March we are going to Germany and Paris for two weeks
Long term goal: to be HEALTHY!!!
:drinker: Happy Thanksgiving everyone!0 -

I am ust eating right at the moment, following the diary, and making sure I stay in range, nexdt on mylist is to add exercise!0 -
Hi everyone
Count me in this group. I plan on dropping at least 50 lbs. I am not going to say that I am losing them because I don't want to ever find them again!!! It's all about lifestyle changes for me.
Just joined this wonderful site in November and love it and all of the support it has to offer. What great motivation to succeed in my goals. When I look into a mirror I want to see the real me that has been hiding behind those extra pounds. I am starting to see a glimpse of her and cannot wait to see more. Keep up the good work everyone....0 -
I need to lose 82 pounds! I've seen people who've lost 100+ pounds and they did it! It took time but they did it! I'm just as strong as they are... and so are you. Oh you can SO DO IT TOO!!:drinker: :bigsmile: Especially since you're motivated and want it bad...and have made the decision that you can by posting with the wording you just did!:drinker: :drinker:
You GO GIRL!:flowerforyou:
WHOOPS....I'm reading the thread backwards and just now saw the date this was started....
BUT.....everything above is STILL possible for any of us.....great to see this thread pop back up on the main board 0 -
Can you guys give me a little bit of a run down on what you do on a daily basis to facilitate your weightloss? I am just keeping within the calories and drinking heaps. I am also getting heaps of headaches, have had one for 3 days, just about as long as I have been on my diet, do you think this is my body reacting to no junk food?0

Sounds about right! Not sure if you were a pop drinker but caffeine can sure create withdrawel symptoms related to it...headaches would certainly be one.
Keep it up:drinker: ....those chemicals and junk from the processed foods (containing loads of Sugar/Salt, unhealthy fats) you may have been eating before cleaning up your food choices are probably leaving your system and wondering why you've given them up!:laugh:
YAY for you for making a wonderful choice to get healthy, I'm so proud of you!:flowerforyou: .... Keep up the water like it sounds like you're making a great habit of doing and those headaches and such will soon go away!:flowerforyou:
Well what has made my journey in weightloss/healthier lifestyle more successful has been keeping my water drinking in place, excercise, ALWAYS ALWAYS making time for it FIRST (meaning allowing myself me time...really an important but often hard lesson we must all learn along the journey) and clean eating.:drinker:
That's me in a nutshell...oh and trying HARD not to beat yourself up along the journey as we are not perfect and situations happen but the very next moment is a brand new one! Learning to trust yourself, listening to your healthy voice.....a few of the things that seem to be working for me....:drinker: 0 -

That's some great advice Connie:flowerforyou: .... very true....begin this very moment to make a choice to become more aware of your surroundings...... and you will have a smoother Holiday experience with much less guilt and come January you will be well on your wayHey everyone, I am really thinking about joining Weight Watchers again.

...doesn't mean you can't allow yourself treats..but being aware and making choices on WHAT treats you most want to put in your mouth (or in some cases on your body aka over indulgences...hee hee) is a biggee!
Everyday we make decisions, tough ones, easier ones....be it food, family decisions, work decisions...something is always gonna come up...
Getting in control of your food intake can make everything else in life a wee bit easier to handle as it comes along......we're more clear thinking and can create better choices in our life:flowerforyou:0 -

OMG!! lol Sounds like some strange choice game they might toss in on Biggest Loser Show:huh:
Sorry that happened...I've now taken Zumba and used to enjoy watching the classes before I did, never did I see any apple pies....:laugh:
Funny what some places do to keep their members coming back....AHHHAHAH....I'm only teasing....I have no clue what they were thinking....but it is a lil bit odd.:huh: 0 -
Thank you so much for your advice fitness chick, putting myself first has been soemthing I have never done, especially now as a mother and working full time, I don't get a lot of me time, but my daughter is now of the age (4) that she can ride her bike along side me if she wants to!0

HI, MAY I BE A PART OF THE GROUP?
I NEED TO LOSE 100 POUNDS!! I AM ONLY 4'9" TALL. BELIEVE ME, IT HAS BEEN ROUGH ON MY BODY. WHEN DO WE START REPORTING OUR LOSS/GAIN? IS THERE BY ANY CHANCE A GROUP ON MY FITNESS PAL FOR PEOPLE OVER 50 YEARS OLD?
THANKS.
I am 52 and need to lose 50lbs. I sure hope there is an over 50 group. It can be so much harder for our age group because everything slows down and makes it a bit more difficult.0 -
Yes, speaking from a personal perspective, I would agree about it being more difficult to take the weight off as we age. Having said that though I have found MFP to be an absolute saving grace. It has never been so easy for me to keep track of my food, exercise, weight and measurements. The message boards are very informative and the support system incredible. For all of us in the over 50 crowd...we can do it!!!!0

Well we are having our work christmas party today, so I plan to relax and go for a big long hard walk tonight, hopefully with a little running thrown in.0
