How are you feeling about your weight loss journey?
I am feeling excited and motivated once again for my weight loss journey! That is HUGE for me, because I have realized that I just can't force motivation. It has to be genuine...... from the heart, at least for me. I look forward to fitting into smaller clothes, being healthier and more attractive, and being a good role…
Non-Scale Victories!!! (NSVs)
I thought I would start a topic on NON-scale victories, where we can post progress in areas that don't involve the scale but keep us moving in the right direction. Please post as often as you can!!!

I have been working on this for a long time, but I am STARTING OVER once again with counting calories here at MFP. I was…

I am sooooooo frustrated with myself and once again at an all-time high weight. :frown: It seems that I cannot lose one pound, let alone the 65 pounds that I need to lose to get to an "acceptable" weight! But...... tonight, I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes and did some strength training with free weights. I am NOT…
