New member in the group. Just getting back on the wagon after falling on my head during the holidays. By next November, I will have all new habits, and will be much more fit and active than I am now. Next November all the cookies and treats will NOT BEAT ME! I will develop new habits and activities and coping mechanisms and learn moderation in all things, so that I can live healthy for the rest of my life!0 -
GOINSTD12 - Don't write the whole month off yet. While you may not drop 10, change down your goal expectations and turn the month into a win!0

Everyone is doing a great job out there! Maintaining or losing, or even gaining a bit I believe we are all doing the best that we possibly can right now, in this moment. Hakuna Matata!0 -

Oh boy, that was a big loss for me! normally when I have a big loss, I gain the next week.
Mini Goal - don't focus on the # focus on the eating healthier and working out 4+ times this week.0 -
Clemcnett: You are doing amazing. You may not have a gain next week. It may just continue to slide off. I'm glad you are focusing your energy on healthy habits.

Wow, what a really busy week!
I've added all you newcomers. Please don't be insulted that I don't name you all right now. I was about ready to join Pidge (Gnawcraft) in an implosion trying to get the spreadsheet caught up! Love this.
Total players this month is now 33.
Total losses reported so far show the group has lost 77 lbs in just over two weeks!
Great job everyone! Keep up the hard work, and keep cheering each other on. When one person wins, we all win.0 -

Wow, this is fun. Had to go back three pages to find my last post. Three pages of new and old friends in one week. Nice! Feels so good to read everyone's stories.
:drinker: Here's to implosions!
Crystal - Love your mini goal.
Andrea - I've started working out a lot lately too. I'm hoping the LiteFat-to-HeavyMuscle conversion is part of why my weight loss slowed down. Feels amazing, though.
195 may not be as easy a goal as I expected. I'm almost capable of eating real meals now. And when I mix starches with protein (like corn tortillas with fish), they go down easier. Going to cut back on starches. Willing to be uncomfortable to drop the last fifty.
Best, all.

I was in this in November, when I got sidelined by an infection and wound up in hospital for two weeks! It was crazy. I was so sick, I don't think I really realized how bad I was until I got home and read up on sepsis! And I got a secondary infection (c. dif.) while I was in there, which is what kept me in hospital for twice as long as I should have been. Anyway, I am back and all better and I finally remembered I was in this group... takes the mind a while to catch up too sometimes!

This took a long time to find! I am up 2 lbs I am dealing with it finally enough to post it!
There was so much stuff here this is amazing I hope to see some of these fine newbies post in other posts too!!! Welcome all the new ones congrats on all the loses and even on the gains when a lesson was learned! If we were good at this all the time we wouldn't be here any of the time!0 -
Happy Sunday, everyone! Great to see so many people joining in (I don't feel quite as much like the "newbie" with so many other new faces!)
It was a weird week for me - crazy busy, and Monday I was *starving* all day and was really struggling to stay on track. By Wednesday, I'm not sure what kicked in, but I found myself feeling really, really satisfied and really enjoying eating healthy. It was like my cravings for refined carbs just disappeared. I'm working on switching over to a predominantly clean vegetarian diet, supplemented with a few meals including fish and lean meat. (I've got about 8 pounds of veggies in the fridge, prepped and ready to go for the week - woohoo!)
On a down note, for some reason my hip is still really giving me grief... I'm forcing myself to get some walking in, but I'm thinking this week will be about trying to work on my core strength with some Swiss ball exercises and more pilates. I need to work on stretching because I think the hip pain is related to a tendon that tends to shorten up pretty quickly on me due to my scoliosis. Wish me luck!

Well, not bad considering on Friday I was back up to 231! I weigh on Weds. and Fri. too, just to check that things are going in the right direction and so I can hopefully turn things around before the next "official" weigh in. I might just make my goal in spite of myself.
Next week is going to be the hard one - church pot luck, quilting pot luck, my birthday dinner out (Swiss Chalet - I am so looking forward to that!), then the following Monday a birthday lunch at a friend's! For church, I may just take my own pre-made plateful and stay away from the buffet table, and I have already pre-planned my Swiss Chalet day (but sad that I can't have the fries - they alone are as much as the entire rest of the dinner! Good thing I like baked taters.) And for the birthday lunch I have been asked what I would like my friend to make, so I may be able to control that a bit too if I can think of something I'd like her to make!0 -
Hi All,
As you can see I am starting late. My goal over the next 10 days is to lose 3-5 pounds. I am hopeful that next month I will start the challenge early and lost significantly more weight.
I'm glad I found this group because I need support to move out of the 200's this year. :flowerforyou:
