I'm at 198...up again from 2 weeks ago...although I knew I wasn't going to have a good weigh in...I will and am moving on...don't you all worry...it's ok I know, we all fall off the band wagon. People are good about being supportive and I do appreciate it. I know with the holidays coming I want to cut back now (not starve, just eat clean and healthy) so I can enjoy the goodies at Thanksgiving and Christmas parties. I missed last week because I just have my phone during the week (except today I was able to get on a computer that let me on the website) ...I honestly have a hard time going back to the groups I'm in...even though I'm only in 2. Between work and everything else, I'm good about getting on MFP just not searching the website thouroughly everyday...I'll try harder! (yes, I know it'll be ok)

@RocksFlower welcome my West coast friend! Glad you are here. I hope you have a great weekend also.

@ merapp9 The holidays are part of my motivation too! Don't worry about finding this group, I will make sure you have a quick and easy link to get back. We are all on the same path and it is much more enjoyable with friends to share our success with, and even our not so successful times.

I know my weight went up 1.5 but I also know I took in too many carbs and calories and many days so here is o a better next week I'm starting 30 day shred Monday.

Hey everyone! Happy Friday
I am down the 2 lbs that I gained at my last weigh in, which was yesterday. Leads me to believe it was water retention or because I wasn't eating enough.
I was just at the grocery store and struck up a conversation with the check-out gal because she noticed all my healthy food and a few frozen LC's that I bought. She told me she lost 45lbs being a MFP
John, I bought a huge bag of grapes today and I am going to freeze a bunch of small bags, per your suggestion. Thanks!
I have decided not to weight every day anymore. I found that I am extremely frustrated with fluctuation. Once a week from now on!
I hope you all have a great, successful week.

@no1belongs You'll have to keep us updated on that 30 day shred, I wanna know how difficult it is.

@healthylady88 You know I love them grapes, tell me if you have any issues or like/don't like the idea for any reason, I really like to hear different opinions so I can continue to learn. As for the clerk, MFPers are everywhere, lol. Keep up the great work!

Welcome on board! We are here to help & motivate! Our hope is that joining the group & weighing in every week will help hold ourselves accountable & gives us the push we need to keep going! Why do you think you have been unsuccessful?

Thanks, Bca_Ncol and John! I know having people to keep me accountable will help me a lot. I've been trying to get under 240 all summer, I think, and just not making as much progress as I'd like.

My quick and dirty history is that the lowest I've been in years and years was when I was 170-something in 2003. Since then it's been an up and down climb higher and higher on the scale until it hit the 250 mark earlier this year. Enough is enough and it's time to get down to where I'd really like to be, which is closer to 140, a weight I haven't seen since high school or earlier.

I don't have a scale at my house right now (maybe I should get one, since it seems like I've gained the most weight since that thing broke) and I weigh in with the nurse at work on Fridays. So once I do that, I'll come back here and post it here. I'm really hoping to defy all odds and LOSE weight this holiday season.

Nice to meet you all!

I really do thinking having a scale to weigh with on a regular basis is a helpful tool in your weightloss journey. As long as your head is there and you can really concentrate on losing then you can be successful! I know that the last 3 or 4 years have been tough on me with my ups and downs personally and am frankly sick of it! I really hope this group will help! I'm here if you need any extra support!

Everyone else - thanks for posting!!! I'm so glad to see so many posts! Only 4 more days til this weeks weigh in! Time to push yourself - get rid of that leftover halloween candy & go an extra 5 to 10 mins while exercising! You got this people! =]
