I so prefer hiking outside, than walking on the treadmill. Sometimes its just so blah to be in the gym.

Just thought I would post the verse today. I dont normally put scripture on the challenge, but I feel like I need to share it just for today.0 -
Happy Sunday all! Nothing specific to share today, just wanted to say hi to everyone and wish them a great day and a great week ahead.0

I had a great NSV today. I was cleaning out a closet and found a dress I bought last year that I loved but when I got it home I couldn't zip it up in the back. Loved the dress so decided to keep it anyway. Well I decided to try it on today. It zipped up with no problem. Still a little tight but it fit. I was so happy...and surprised.0

Awesome NSV, I bet it feels great!0 -
Nothing really new to share today. I could share my yummy dessert I had tonight. I tools 2 gala apples and sliced them up like I was making a pie. I put them in an oven proof dish, sprinkled 1 tsp cinnamon and 2 tsp brown sugar over all of the apple slices and mixed it up. I put them in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. It was so yummy.0

Wow! That is an excellent NSV. It even comes with its own reward--a new dress!I had a great NSV today.

This is my second Sunday in a row where I just felt wiped out.
My exercise is very minimal. I recently worked up to walking an average of 2 miles a day (5,000 steps) and doing some light resistance band work Monday, Wednesday and Friday. No reason for me to be tired, but I am.
This week, I just decided to go with it. I may not be where I want to be exercise wise, but I'm still giving myself permission to have ONE day a week where I do nothing.0 -
Just thought I would share a little this morning. I have had so many people in my life to support me and encourage me to keep up the good work in my weight loss journey. I'm not taking any vitamins, protein shakes, or any type of meds for the last month due to financial difficulties. Am I wrong for this? Please send me a private email and don't post in here. I really need to know from MFP buddies if I am doing any kind of damage to my body for not doing things right like I should be. Please respond asap.
Thank you a head of time,

Hello everyone, nothing really to share today. I hope everyone's journey is going well. Happy Sunday!0

Happy Sunday to all! @KAR great NSV last weekend!
My sharing this week is that I am heading to sunny Florida for a few days, Monday to Friday with my hubby and two teens, we are really only there for about 3.75 days and it will be spent doing Universal and SeaWorld. So looking forward to getting away from the snow and cold up here in Canada. Have never been to Florida before so excited to go, and haven't flown anywhere for 12 years, all of our trips have been by car with the kids. So I will not be posting on any of the daily pages this week. Will check in when I get back.0 -
Have a wonderful trip, Val. I don't blame you for wanting to get away. It has been bitter cold lately here in Ontario, Canada. Sharing for today huh. I guess I will share a little about my feelings on this whole weight loss thing. I'm feeling very happy about the loss but in the same breath, I am not feeling any "sexier" as I now have areas that are drooping. I've have two abdominal surgeries and now have that stupid hang on my belly. I also have lots of stretch marks that seem to be more prominent with the loss. They look like I was clawed by an animal. So that being said, part of me is very unhappy with my losses. Is this weird or what?0

I had a major breakthrough this week, haven't seen the 180's for awhile and am sooooo happy to make it back! I am really excited to see what Feb. brings!0

I AM TAKING ALL MEDS FOR MENTAL HEALTH. THE VITAMINS AND MEDS I'M NOT TAKING ARE THE ONES FOR WEIGHT LOSS ONLY. HOPE THIS CLEARS UP ANY OF THE QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE HAVE SENT ME IN EMAILS. THANKS FOR ALL THE INPUT YOU ALL HAVE DONE.0 -
Share day. I'm a people pleaser. I always want everyone else to be happy before I think of myself. This makes my weight loss journey difficult in some ways because I tend to put myself last. It has been a learning and growing experience thus far as I come to realize that those closest to me want me to be happy as well.0

That's wonderful that you are doing so much better. I've had bouts of depression in previous years as well. You should be so proud of yourself for doing as well as you are. I know it's not easy. Way to go!0 -
thanks the supportive community on here really helps0

Sunday - My life is heading towards a whole new reality or at least that's how it feels, it is not a quick process but it is happening. My weight loss/healthy lifestyle journey is chugging along and I am embarking on a new "career/business" path as well, both of which will bring me wealth in the end, wealth in that my life will be happy and healthy and wealth as in a good stream of income that will hopefully last well in to my retirement years and will allow me to stay home and homeschool my 3 youngest kids right through to when they head out to college. I am grateful to MFP for my new healthy life and a very dear friend for the new business opportunity. I am truly a very lucky person to have all this abundance in my life.0

It's been a tough week for me. I got a little off track and lost focus. My MFP friends have really stepped up and given me the encouragement and motivation to work through this. Right now the scale is not moving but I know it is very hard to lose weight and deal with medication. As my friend Sharon reminded me the scale should not be my only indicator of success. This week alone 3 different people asked me how much weight had I lost. I was shocked because I don't see it myself.
I'm going to stay away from the scale and only weigh in weekly for all challenges and put the scale away on other days. I'm going to eat healthier and I've already kicked up the exercise. No more whining...I know what I need to do.
It's not easy but I can do this!0 -
Hi all,
All of us who are suffering from other issues should expect that is often the reason for our weight gains...and I, for one, expect that all kinds of us have suffered other issues. I have had depressed times, I do have killer sciatica, and right now knees that just don't work....so if you are suffering, you have my empathy and understanding....
Sill, I am very grateful that so far, I do not have a life threatening disease...and I am here to lose the weight that might threaten me with diseases....so thanks for being here!
I am recommitted to the one pound per week goal, even though this has been a very difficult week...with another to come!
I too have had a tough week, with lots of meals out. Even when I make good choices, I feel that there is always a slip in the food....for example, I had a roast beef lunch with veg and rice....and "au jus"...which was really a thin gravy I had to scrape off, and the veg were peas and carrots,,,,the rice was with wild rice ....and I kicked myself for not insisting on a tomato, or asking about the "Au jus.".... It makes me feel that I am in a war with the restaurant industry....and I have to triple check on everything as I order, since I cannot trust the menu....sigh....
While I feel worn out by all that...and have more to come this week....I also have a longer term perspective...
Perhaps that is what we all need, a long long perspective....we did not add all the weight in a day....and participating in life, and not being a hermit, is essential to our mental and physical health....so I am prepared to say that there are times, like Christmas,
when staying as clean as I can in my food is the best I can do....and there are times when it will not be a weight loss week...
Life is longer than this week, and having a good attitude for next week is probably the best I can do...that and choose salad and veggies more than meats at our mini vacation...I have a plan! It is not written in stone, but it is here where my self care consciousness lives!
I will be bringing a protein-whey supplement to help me stay within my guidelines.....and supplement meals where I find they are too wheat or fat based....I know that is expensive, ( I use the liquid and not the powders for ease of use)...but that works for me.
Have a good week everyone!

I'm hungry! LOL. Lately I feel like I could eat nonstop. I'm afraid I'll cave and gain back all I've lost.0

Me too!! But we will make it through. Just a minor set back - Right? Absolutely!0 -
I had a really tough month in February. I wanted to let everyone know how my mfp pals lifted me up and got me refocused. I was very down and my pals encouraged me to keep my head up and keep going forward. Because of them I think I will have a good month. Thanks everyone!0

After working 2 jobs for what seems like forever (6 yrs) I am sadly down to one as of two weeks ago. We lost our best friend of 20 years, (lost his wife 5+ years ago! and it's been a little rough. for everyone in my family. Those last weeks I was at his house more than I was home and many times over night. I think he would appreciate that I am refocusing and getting "back on the wagon" with my own health goals now that I have some time for me again! Thanks for listening.0

I've been going trough my issue with night binging. I don't know why I get hungry at night. Luckily I save calories for evening snacks but I'm worried it is going to get bad again. Trying to be strong.0

Hang in there Kar! Struggling at night myself. We can do this!!!0

I thought I would share about my weight loss journey. I have been up and down for years. Did Weight Watchers lost 30 pounds in a year. Decided to have surgery (Duodenal Switch) on 10/29/2012. Best decision I have ever made for myself. Anyways, its been 6 1/2 months and I have lost 125 pounds so far. All my eating habits have changed and Im still learning to do it all right!!!!!!!!!! Well thats it for now, will post more often and as I remember to do so. Remembering is the hardest part.0
