I'm in, been dieting for the last 30! years, lost so much weight over the years should be invisible but it keeps going back on!!! Yesterday, I started again, went to the gym, logged by food and am taking it day by day. Little goals, trying to lose a stone (14 lbs) in the next 6 weeks so only just over a couple of pounds a week. I CAN DO IT IF I TRY!!!!!!!!!! I think the trick is finding something to occupy your mind when you want something unsensible, it might not work for everyone but I find painting my finger nails helps if I'm really struggling as they take ages to dry and you cant touch anything, or I tidy a cupboard out. Stupid but sometimes stupid wins! Good luck everyone

Great idea! Exercising and logging daily is the key

Meeeeee!!!!!

Hi everyone, so I am in another group and I have realized once I become "disqualified" I stop logging on to post in groups. I need to stop this, as I really need the support that I can find on here because no one in my family is interested in weight loss.

Today's goal is to finish this week's homework for my class and drink my water.

Happy Thursday!!

Hi Kerri
Me too!

I need friends desperately!! Please add me

I agree with @karenesg -everyday is a reset, recommit, restart. I won't succeed and maintain unless I treat everyday important.

Good Morning!! I would LOVE to have the time to read over all the most recent posts...…..but I've been away from work for 10 days so I'd better get some work done lol.
I have gone up 2.2 pounds since my last weigh in. A little disappointing, but not bummed. After the July we've had with three deaths and a busy family vacation and reunion, I am content, but back to work! Tracking and exercising again!!
Hope everyone has been well. When I read the posts on the main page it sounds like everyone has been doing great, great attitudes!
Jen, I see you are back to classes. Good for you for getting your education in as a top priority!! Do continue to take care of yourself also
Have a great hump day everyone!!
Teri

What are people making for dinner? that is when I struggle the most, after a long work day when I am tired and the kids and I are hungry...

Catching up on some posts, seems I don’t get on the community as much as I initially did. Lots of newbies, just know that this app can be of great help on your journey, but ultimately you have to ‘just do it’ to make a choice to eat better and get healthy. It is a hard journey, and I know even when I reach my goal it will be a hard lifetime committment to making better choices as I don’t ever plan to gain this back. The past few weeks have been hard, finally had a small loss a few days ago after plateauing for awhile. I know that I am allowing myself some ‘goodies’ that I need to stay away from; and that because I am feeling better about how I look and what I can wear I am feeling more content with where I am at. BUT I still need to lose at least 20 more pounds to get to my goal that my MD and I set together. That goal of 170 is still 20 pounds over ‘charts’, but something that is more ‘real’ for me to attain and stay at. I bought a few new clothes and want to get more, but HAVE TO STOP myself and wait till I get to goal. All of you that have friended me in the last 200 plus days have been my buddies with your tips/tricks and daily encouragement. I DO read your daily comments and try to note on your statuses some positive helps too. We can do this, just need to stay focused.

How do we add people?

Thank you..when I click on the person's name it just opens a window to send a message..I will try again another time.

@kjaispuro -I usually do meal prep on weekends and reheat during the week, but it's just me. Try to preplan with some things you can cook quickly or reheat.

@AbandondedKSCharger -good to have you back. You had a very rough July--let's hope for a much better August.

@KCJen -glad my schools days are just memory!

@Longing4Maui - I agree we just have to do it. I think we hit spells where it is harder than others, but keep taking the steps you can. Maybe you should eat at maintenance for a week or two.

@ginnytez Graduation is in December, I am sooo excited. Rebuilding my life from my divorce has been a long road, however, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The best is yet to come!!

I've been busy too & haven't been on this group for a while, @kjaispuro I'm unusual in that I cook in the late mornings after my dog walk. When I worked full time, I worked the swing shift on purpose so I can still have my mornings. I'm too tired to cook in the evenings. I now work part time in mornings so on those days, I don't cook. I'll cook enough for left overs the day before. I know this doesn't help. My mom cooked in the morning too for the 4 of us. I would often wake up to the smell of cooking
