@jules81 Yes. Absolutely. Visit this post regularly for support and encouragement. It can be so disheartening to see a gain on the scales. Many here have lost weight. Many have lost and gained back (me for one and I'm not alone) But we are all committed to losing. So post. Be honest. Pick a method that works for you. Tracking on MFP is a great way to ward off overdoing it (or overdoing it by WAY too much as I am prone to do when I don't track). Welcome.2

@canyonGeek Love your green salad
And thanks for tracking our journey this challenge. 2 -
@NewCaddy I am sorry to hear about your son. Young'ens getting drivers licenses is so stressful! At least it was for me. I am glad he walked away but please know the concussion piece remains in my thoughts with all my best wishes coming your way. Sounds like he's gonna be achey for a while. Stress is definitely a trigger for me for eating.... sweets. But each day begins anew. You are resilient. Good job getting focus back.2

Started week 2 of my fitness plan, and it was a little harder mentally to go back after taking a few days off. I felt terrible all day Sunday after my crappy eating Saturday. Back on track today, feeling good, and thankful for all the support in this group. I hope everyone has a good week!4

@NewCaddy sorry to hear about the accident. I’m glad to hear your son is okay. Having a teen driver is scary I think that is where all my grey hair came from.
@Nikion901 Congrats on meating your goal
i’m starting to get bored with food options,so focusing on eating at home. otherwise I will fall off track for eating out has more options to tempt me with.1 -
This morning on my home page I spotted a couple of blogs in the side bar that I like to follow. One is called @The_Movie_Chair and the other is @dsjohndrow . If you ever notice their posts, I highly recommend you to read them. They are very eloquent and easy to read. Both have expressed 'things' that were experienced by me as well .. in fact, sometimes reading what was said is like they are telling my own story. It helps to know, just like with our own sharing on this thread, that others have been through the exact same thing ... and that if they can do this, so can "I".3

@NewCaddy So sorry to hear about your son's accident. I've been exactly in your shoes many years ago. That terrifying phone call. Concussions are scary, teen-age drivers are scary. It would be so great if we could protect our kids forever. He's fine though, and that is all that's important. Cars can be replaced. Best wishes to him for a speedy total recovery.
@Niki0n901 How cool to have met your goal and now you are off and running towards a new one. That is so awesome. Age is just a number, or so I'm told. I'm not too terribly far behind you.
So many new people on the thread. Welcome to all of you. Thanks @canyongeek for keeping the stats for the group's challenge. Great week everyone. Here's to another one! 5 -
Hey all, just a quick update- I might be absent for a bit, going to try and keep logging in and staying on track if I can but might not be able to follow plan or weigh in. My stepmom lost her battle with cancer yesterday and I'm getting on a plane in a little while to be with my Dad for the unforeseen future.
I'm obviously dealing with grief and not making it back in time and travel anxiety about being away from my babies and supportive husband here in Michigan. I'm a nervous flyer and it's been 16 years since I got on a plane alone without my husband's hands to hold.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted- He's an ever present help and comfort in times of sorrow. I'm praying I rely on God and close family for comfort instead of food and old habits. Grateful for this group and outlet where I can really share the nitty gritty reality of battling for healthy habits- mind body and soul.5 -
I know it’s not Wednesday, but I wish that when you did well for a day you’d immediately see some type of movement on the scale.
Thank you to everyone for your wishes/prayers for my son. He’s doing pretty good as far as the head goes…body is slowly mending as well thanks to a very good chiropractor.
@Niki – happy birthday (belated)
@Holly – for the most part I’m not much of a worrier with Jacob as he’s a responsible kid – except homework. He even reminds me not to use my phone while driving. Based on personalities, Emma will be a different story.
@kbeyer23 – sorry to hear about your stepmom. Prayers for you and your family while you learn the new “normal” without her physically here.
AFM…I’m really struggling with the exercising. My sister is available late at night and I just want to be done by then. I’ve got to figure out a plan. I’m not great without a workout partner but I just don’t think this 9:00 at night is going work for me either.
Gearing up for a big week/weekend. My choir is doing an Easter Cantata on Palm Sunday. We have practices Wednesday and Thursday. Then we sing Saturday evening and twice on Sunday morning. I know to make sure I have my water bottle full.

@newcaddy Love that pic! So motivating! Finding the right mode of exercise can be a real challenge. Perhaps there's a group fitness class? I find classes get me there (cause I'm paying) and offer the chance to socialize a bit which takes the pain out of the work out. If not, there are plenty of online options where you can just plug in when it works for you. Just a good walk can do wonders. I'm amazed at how my neighbor just threw on her sneakers and started walking. She dropped a lot of weight!
@kbeyer23 Condolences. By now you have probably survived the flight. Hoping there are moments of happy memories shared amongst those your stepmom called family and friends.
@Nikion901 Yet another nice lead to helpful info. Tx. And def. of Onderland -- I never would've guessed!
Good news -- I weighed 230 today. Heading in the right direction. Nothing like a good health scare to set me straight. Works every time.
