Sorry I haven't been on here much, not only am I still dealing with this leg, I am also dealing with a sinus infection UGH!

I am ok with this loss, but could have done better. Since the boot is gone, I thought I was ; doing better on the diet, guess not that good . Oh well! one more week on this challenge, and I know that I will do better on the next one..

Mary, I see that that you had a great loss this week, Way to go!

Marney, I am looking forward to a your new challenge! I'm starting today.......

Everyone have a great weekend, and for my American friends have a Happy 4th of July.

Marney,thanks for the challenge.I was excited I had a weight loss and getting into the nineties will be my goal,another one,this week. I think it's best for me to have short term goals so I won't forget what they are .
Beth and Marney,congratulation on your weight loss!!! We're all going in the right direction.
Beth, I'm glad you were able to get rid of the boot.I think a 1 lb. loss is great.so much better than a gain.
Happy Birthday Canada!
I'll be celebrating the 4th at a friends house.Lots of food and fireworks.I have resisted eating sweets twice this week and will be challenged again this weekend.I'm determined
to stay away from them as they are my addiction and downfall.I'll let you know how it goes.
Let the logging begin!!

still not back on the program!
Tried logging only this week
That must have helped because
now im checking in

My last new low was 151 in march
Since then Weight was up to 156
Today its 155
3 lbs gained since i fell off wagon in march
Thank you all for still being here!

Hi lil.

I know where you come from!. Low was 162, now 171 and I am cheering. Come join us with the logging challenge. For this week, log everything you eat. That's it. Don't stress about what you eat, just log in and log what you eat. (The rest follows.)

Thanks Dasher! ( sorry i forgot your real name)
I am writing at my little 24 hr gym today - it has a comfy little sofa and no snack bar.
It does sell one item, questbar protein bar, which has only 1 gram sugar!
I should just live here.

I went way over on my carbs and sugar today, corn on the cob and fruit.I did stay under my calorie count though.Gayle,what is the next challenge going to be?

Good Morning Ladies, another hot one coming our way today, this humidity is taking its toll on my sinus's. Oh Well, better not complain too much about the heat, still beats snow...My mother always said: "You can always cool off when its hot out, but when its cold out it is really hard to stay warm..." She was right......

Marney, I stuck with your challenge of logging everything every day. What's the new challenge this week? I'm up to try anything new.

Gayle, does the new challenge start next week?

I know that this is a small loss for me, but I will take it.....

Every one of you ladies have a great weekend, and I will talk to you all soon. Beth

Beth and Mary win the happy face this week for logging all their food. I missed last night because of being out and not setting to logging the moment I came home. (I hate logging all the elements of a bought salad).

And both of you dropped weight and stopped the upward trend! Yes!

I am in that boat too. I dropped to 170 - 170.5 (the scale couldn't make up its mind) So the flirting with 173.5 has stopped for me.

This week's goal: Two fold. 1. Log all food. 2. Be at or under your calorie/carb goal 5 days out of 7 days. Bonus points for those who are at or under for more than 5 days.

July 8th 133.4

A co-worker has renewed her efforts to lose weight after meeting with her new doctor. In spring 2014 She was the one who showed me the barcode reader on MFP after I had been running up the stairs to my PC for 6 months (which when you think about it is a benefit!). After that I rewarded myself with finally getting a smartphone.

Every-day logging is the path to success! That and making sure to allow some room for chocolate!

Today is a new day and also starts a new challenge which goes from 7/09/16 to 9/03/16. I did dismally during the Spring to Summer challenge but am optimistic about the Summer to Fall Challenge. I turned 65 yesterday and now can get going with Silver Sneakers and utilizing my Medicare benefits as well. Improved health, here I come!
So, my goals for this next 8 weeks

• Get going with Silver Sneakers
• Find a health care provider I like and address my hearing and vision and related
• Start recording in the food diary daily
• Drink more water
• Get rid of my new "stress belly"

Go Team!!!!

Those look like doable goals.My insurance provider doesn't offer Silver Sneakers,I'm glad yours does.
We need to think of each day being a new day and making the best of it.I'm looking forward to the end of your challenge because with your optimism you'll reach your goals.You've got this!!!
