I had the same problem. I sent Tinksmommy a message to let her know the doc permissions need to be changed

I am just going to say it for the record I HATE Monday weigh ins!!! I am so bad with eating out that even if I am under calories my weight is always way up on Monday morning. boo Anyway thanks for fixing the doc and I entered my weight as of this morning!

True I am going to keep Thursday as my 'official' weigh in and maybe it will help me behave better over the weekends!

Hi All... looks like I am the highest weighing person so far... guess that just means more motivation! My name is Jackie. I am a mom of 4... yes, 4 kids ages 10, 8, 6 and 7 months. My weigh problems started in middle school with gaining a few extra pounds here and there. I never really felt "fat" until after my 2nd child was born in 2003. I started having problems with my thyroid after having him and it just got harder and harder. I still don't feel like my thyroid is where it should be but then again food is a real weakness for me. I love... LOVE.... sweets, cakes, cookies, etc. I am trying to train myself to not eat them. I have had pain issues for over 15 years but until this year, no one could figure out why. Well... this year, I went to a chiropractor who is the best in the area and he discovered that I have what is called a bi-lateral PARS defect... more simply, there are two major bones that are missing in my spine. They fractured at some point and now my spine is unstable. When I bend or walk or really anything, my vertebrae shift approximately 2 cm forward cutting off the nerves that run down both my legs and into my feet. When I was pregnant this last time, it was debilitating and made it difficult to even walk. Although I was in unbelievable pain, I continued to work because at the time, they couldn't figure out what was causing my pain... the chiropractor found it in July. Over 15 years of doctors calling me crazy and within 4 months of the chiropractor finding this, now the doctors are jumping up and saying the only solution is major back surgery. I am glad that someone finally believed me that there was something wrong... if someone had just LOOKED better, I wouldn't have ever been in so much pain nor so over weight as the pain has made it difficult to exercise. Best part is... now that they have an answer, I finally am getting help from a pain management specialist. Over the years the doctors told me that there was NO WAY that I was in as much pain as I say I am... but now, they are saying, "How have you dealt with this pain so long..." (hahaha! figures! ) The back surgeon has planned for a summer surgery which I am very much looking forward to but... and it is a BIG BUT.... I HAVE to be down to at least 200 or the surgery is off! Due to increased chances of infection, I have to be down to 200 at the most! So... its a countdown to May... The more I lose the better. I need help and motivation, so I am really looking forward to having some acceptability. Good luck everyone!

Thanks ladies for your help. I'll post my intro of me later today or tomorrow. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Thank you for a long post - you are not alone!! It was nice to read and I reckognized myself in so much of what you said. Keep working, we'll do this together!
A little bit about myself: Full-time working mum with children this year in the age of 3,5 and 7... In other words busy busy. I work as a teacher and I live in Oslo, Norway. Where are you guys from? My main problem is that I overeat - especially when I'm tired (which is pretty much all the time after noon...). I STILL haven't been able to keep my calorie goal yet.... HELLO! i'm just sooo weak. But I'm very positive - I want to change!! People keep asking me when I'm due- they think I'm pregnant with number 4, which I'm NOT. So depressing to look like I'm 8 months pregnant... And to top it all, my husband lost 35 pounds last year and looks like a GOD. I'm happy for him but a bit worried... I really hope we can motivate each other and DO this!! We deserve to feel good and to be able to move around freely, buy clothes that fit, etc... I want to be in shape so that I can be a better Mum and wife. I want to have some of that energy I remember (remotely) I had a long long time ago. I'm ready... or to be more precise: Im "due".
