Thankful for a warmer day today. Going for a walk in a few. Thankful for MFP. I weighed in at 200 today! That's down 45 pounds since last May and 35 of those pounds since beginning MFP in September. I have a goal of being under 200 by 2-1-15 so it looks like I have a shot at it. Also thankful for this site and all of the encouraging success stories you all keep posting. Onward and downward.0

I grateful I got up and went to a circuit class, it seems to be something I should be doing on a regular basis, I just don't like getting up earlier to do it.
Was worth it to see the results on the fitbit. I am also grateful there is an active Fitbit user group on MFP and that I got the fitbit app and MFP talking to each other without any serious issues.
Have a Fitastic day, everyone.0 -

IndianaPapaw, Congrats on reaching 200. I just did it a couple of weeks ago and it is a fantastic feeling. You should be very proud of yourself. Keep up the good work!!!
Janet
Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding.

mx congratulations!! This really is a good program. Today I am grateful because my husbands computer desk finally arrived! Now we are waiting on the handyman to assemble it. Will be so good to have my own computer back! Its amazing how someone elses computer is just not the same lol0

Grateful I hit the 10,000 steps on first full day with a fitbit. I had tweaked the goal to 5,000 because I really didn't think I could do 10K in a day right off the bat. But the weather was ok so in addition to everything else yesterday we took an after lunch walk and the fitbit informed me I had gotten the 10K badge and it was only midday!! Now to fix my bad sleep pattern, I am in bed over 7 hrs and only getting 3-4.5 hrs sleep it turns out.0

I love this thread. ..New to MFP. I count my blessings everyday and do not take them for granted. Today is a beautiful cold bright blue sky day..fresh powdery snow in the yard and new rabbit tracks crossing in the middle. A pretty scene! Keep the motivation going!0

Welcome, Bettikins! MFP is a wonderful site - and this is a special, supportive group!
To Janet & to Indiana Papaw: congrats on hitting 200! That is a super accomplishment.
Kudos to retirehappy for getting all that walking in!
I am grateful to have made it through my first Body Flow class this morning. It brings me back to the days, decades ago, when I used to do yoga every day. That is my goal, and this weekly class is a great step toward that goal. ~ Kathy0 -
I'd like to ditto the congrats above! And say, YES to yoga, Kathy. I have fond memories. I tried chair yoga last year and found, to my surprise, that it was not at all an "old lady" thing.
Today I am grateful (I think) that I found the bravery to join a 12-week healthy weight campaign at my gym. I'll be part of a Team - gulp - and that idea scares the daylights out of me. I am soooo not a "joiner" and, like, uh-oh, I'm making a real commitment. There are 6 teams competing to change body fat percentage. At the end there's a huge party and runway fashion show (participation optional). It was not cheap to join but all the $$ goes to Komen for the Cure. Oik!0 -
Welcome, Bettikins! Congrats to all above that have reached their goals. I'm grateful my ankle is doing better and does not hurt any more. Have to take the exercise s-l-o-w.0

Grateful today for ibuprofen ... I hate to take it but, much as I enjoyed Body Flow yesterday, today I am in Body Pain LOL ...0

Bettikins, welcome, you will like it here.
Today I am grateful the snow has not started up, so I was able to get outside and walk this AM. I think I am getting use to having my rec center classes to go to and I was at a loss earlier today on how to get activity in today. So my DH reminded me, we have a room upstairs with dumbbells, dvd's and player, yoga mats, and a step bench. He wisely suggested I could work out here just fine. So I did that and then he joined me on a walk before lunch.0 -
I am so grateful my therapeutic yoga teacher has returned from her very long Christmas vacation and we have started our sessions together again.0
-
Now that I'm truly on board, I am grateful every day to my hubbo for making it possible for me to go to my new gym.0
-
Grateful I could take these several days off for a stay-mini-spa-cation. Facials, eyebrow waxing, jacuzzi, deep-tissue massage, mani-pedi, Tai Chi, workouts, good food, wine, reading, etc. 2.5 pounds lost. Today, classic film series showing of "Funny Girl" at the theater! Back to reality on Tuesday.0

GMCharlie that all sound good to me!
I am grateful it did snow and I will get a lot of my steps in today by shoveling snow. We were supposed to get about 1 inch will at my place it was 8 inches and it is wet heavy snow not light champagne powder like we get mostly around here. Shoveling will be a challenge. We have a long run in front of the house due to the roads curved design.
I am also grateful that I finally stopped maintaining and dropped .5, not much but in the right direction and I have been waiting a while for it to go below my former low point. So I am happy to take it.
Make your decisions good ones today and everyday

I'm grateful for our wonderful church and a fantastic message0

I woke up early this morning and I am grateful for this time of silence in the house and hot coffee. I have not stopped in for a few days and I see so many amazing things in this list! Kudos to everyone for all the accomplishments! I think the fitbit is an amazing tool. And I am loving getting back to my yoga a little bit also! Grateful for the inspiration I get from this amazing group!0
-
Woke up to cold and ice/snow but only 2" - 3" of the predicted 14"+ we were supposed to get. So thankful the weather folks are not in control of the snow.
Climbed on the scales this morning and was under 200 lbs. for the first time in about 40 years. When I started this journey I had no idea I would ever be at this weight again. I've always been an "easy keeper" when it comes to weight. I could gain a couple of pounds just sniffing fresh donuts or almost anything else for that matter. I'm so grateful I found MFP last September and this encouraging group of folks. Need to set another goal and see where to go from here. Thanks y'all.0 -

Welcome to Onederland!
Coffee time is over, I'm grateful for coffee. ;-> and the time it gives me to reflect on how great the day is going to be if I maintain a positive attitude.

Congrats to making it under 200, way to go.

I am grateful I am serious enough about weight loss and cared enough about my self to go for the fitbit. It is making my life so much easier. It is like having my own biofeed back machine on my wrist and it tells all my logging sites what they need to know. 0
-
Thanks everyone for the kind and encouraging words. retirehappy, which model of fitbit do you have if you don't mind saying?0
-
IndianaPapaw, WHAT AN ACHIEVEMENT! CONGRATS TO YOU0
-
IndianaPapaw, I got the Charge with the heart rate monitor. But there are other models less expensive without the HRM feature that are great for tracking your activity.0
-
Isn't it beautiful in Onderland? Congratulations! That is a big event!0
-
Many things to be thankful for such as: two snowstorms and we didn't lose power either time; and we can afford to crank the heat up a little when it gets bitterly cold as it is today. But my favorite gratitude item this morning is getting my BMI down to 28.79 - when I started my journey at the end of August, it was 40.2.

Indiana congrats on crossing that border! That is a huge milestone! And I love that term Onederland! lol I hope this is the year that I get there myself!
Grateful this morning that I FINALLY have my own computer back (it was a challenge, tried to set it up and could not, spent an hour with a guy down at Best Buy, had a fried HDMI port and a burned out speaker). And I was finally able to set up my new fitbit which I wore last night and am wearing for the first time today. Now if I can just get some furniture in my livingroom, I believe I will feel like a civilized human for the first time in a LONG time lol0
