Hi Everybody,
Popping in to say hi and tell you I'm still lurking. I've been having some trouble getting to the web version here and I hate typing on my phone so lurking has been easier. But I'm online now and want to say that I am so impressed with how well people are doing. I'm definitely hanging in. I think this is my longest streak of logging and truly working it in years. I almost hate to say that because I don't want to jinx it! I don't weigh in 'til Friday but I think I will have a decent loss for February and I'm looking forward to wearing some of my skinnier clothes once the weather gets nice. I refuse to buy anything new for winter!!!5 -
Weigh in day!

Headed to a conference today, so I'm hoping for at least one workout opportunity and some healthy food options!1 -
Are new people welcome in this group? I hope so. I knew I needed to lose some weight and did lose and keep off 27 pounds a few years ago. Lost more than that but didn't gain it all back. I was diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver disease last week. Only treatment is to lose weight or eventually go into liver failure. So my motivation is high right now. I was also diagnosed with a case of gastritis from being on NAIDs for too long for arthritis and fibromyalgia. This means I am off pain meds and having trouble moving. Hopefully, as I lose weight the pain will decrease and I'll be able to exercise some.

@charlottemilton - if you get a chance and have the resources check out DDPyoga and/or Totalgym. I use both and after a little pain getting going they have helped me move better. regular yoga has also been known to help. Welcome to the group. You can do this! We will help!

Welcome - hapamama & Charlotte, we are here for you whenever you need us. There are quite a few women here who have some awesome advise and helpful hints.
hapamama - I have a good feeling if your mind is into it right now, that you will be under 200 by May with room to spare.
Charlotte - I am in a yoga class and an exercise / balance class that our senior center offers and they are wonderful. I'm 58 and I'm the young pup in the class ( their showing me up actually ), but it's helping me work out at a slower rate.2 -

My Friday weigh-ins for the last couple of weeks have me losing about a pound a week. I knew my 3+ lbs/week losses couldn't go forever so now it's a matter of keeping myself motivated to do the right things without a lot of reinforcement from the scale.
I've been a little baffled by the fact that I've lost over 20 lbs and yet I don't see a huge difference. Sure my clothes hang a bit looser and I am able to fit well into clothes that were tight before, but I haven't actually dropped a size either on top or on the bottom. This makes me think that maybe my clothes were way too tight 2 months ago (erp, how horrifying!) or I'm losing in my feet or ears!
I'm going to keep on keeping on though. I've always been a bit of a gym rat and the one big difference I see is in my level of fitness. I'm able to go much longer and harder than I could just 6 weeks ago and that is a huge NSV for me. I promised myself that I would start running again when I got under 225 (Now!) but I'm super afraid of injury so I may put that off for a few more pounds until I feel a little more stable in my knees and ankles. I'm for sure not as young as I used to be.
Even thought I lurk a lot I am reading every post and enjoying your victories right along with you.
kmiller2350: Woot woot. Almost to Onederland!7 -
Thank you, eppen5. I've been hovering just over 200 pounds for over a week. REALLY hoping to get to Onederland this weekend. A reward of some sort will be in order. Like you, I've been averaging about 1 pound/week. Somewhat discouraging, but every pound lost gets a fist pump when I'm on the scale!4

Wow what a tough month. Lol. My body just didn't want to move in weight and it was infuriating. Then I woke up one morning and my pants had to be held up all day. lol. 5 a month is RIGHT where I want to be at for losing. So I'm very happy.
Today I finally got new Jean's and I'm down to a 16. I've been so anxious to get here since I havent been in a size 16 in so long. Getting to an 18 was depressing for me because that was the highest I had ever been. I got all the way dow. To a 10 before my knee injury 4 years ago. So watching myself get to an 18 hurt. But here I am. And theres more progress to be had!!!4 -

Hi Stella7x7. I had The Cough for all of January. It was so bad I think I sprained my ribs from coughing. What finally helped me was flonase. I'm not a doctor and don't play one on tv, just passing along what worked for me. The cough is terrible!
