Welcome back Bill!

April Fools..I've never been one for pranks, because I'm too gullible and also, if I try to do one, I give it away by laughing. @bri170lb - great list!! Just for Today 4/01 1. log everything 2. 30 mins cardio

I thought the same thing and I'm not a guy :)

Just for Today 3/31 1. log everything 2. gym - strength training 3. 5 mins meditation For those that are struggling: my best advice, keep plugging along. Even as you feel you're not doing well, because it all starts to come together. And not plugging along, well that guarantees you're not doing well. @OConnell5483 - take…

or peanut butter chips....OMG..chocolate and peanut butter....

4 out of 5 isn't bad at all :) Just for Today 3/30: 1. log everything 2. do 30 mins cardio 3. 5 mins meditation Have a great Monday all!

It's the weekend and here I am still checking in!!! I'm actually in shock. Last night after I walked the dogs I had all these calories left over and my mind wanted to dive in and eat them all. But I convinced it that 1 oz of cinnamon almonds was a good enough treat. Just for Today 3/29 1. log everything 2. continue to…

It is good to give ourselves permission :)

Love this one!

Just for Today 3/28 1. log everything (even whatever I eat at the Sultan Bakery, one of Maxim Magazine's Top 10 places to have breakfast in America, and it just happens to be 4 blocks from my house) 2. keep control of the weekend attitude 3. 5 mins meditation 4. water, water, water (always a struggle on weekends, although…

The 80 pound is pretty amazing! I am in awe :)

HUGE accomplishment!!!! Congrats. Do you have before/current pictures.

Sorry you are going through a rough time right now. Hang in there, you'll feel doubly better if you get through it still intact for eating healthy

Just for Today 3/27 1. log everything 2. do not let the "weekend attitude" take over to bring on poor choices 3. 5 mins meditation

Sara - it is hard when you feel you should lose and don't. Sometimes it sets me into a tailspin. I am working hard on my attitude. I keep telling myself if I just continue moving forward, the small losses here and there add up. We all want to start eating right and have the weight just fall off. And someone commented…

I have a great NSV. Yesterday I was super grumpy, for no apparent reason. Usually when this happens, I turn to food to make me feel better. We all know it doesn't. Somehow, I made it through the day yesterday without overindulging! I even went to the gym to do my 40 minutes of cardio. I was trying to come up with all sorts…

Just for Today 3/25 1. log every bite 2. get in 40 mins cardio 3. do 5 mins meditation I too have been on a downward spiral, so trying to pull myself up. Yesterday I was supposed to go to the gym for strength training, but my daughter hit me up right at dinner to help her with the costumes she's making for her big…

Can you record some of your study material so that you can listen while you walk? When I was studying for the CPP, they had study group pod-casts that I put on my phone and would listen to when I ran. It beat it into my brain. :) (I didn't read all the suggestions, so sorry if this is doubling up)

Good job! Planning ahead is definitely a good idea.

Just for Today 3/23 1. log all my food 2. 30 mins cardio 3. 5 mins meditation

I have not finished logging for the past two days. I start out with my morning coffee, may get lunch in, but that is it. Overcoming the weekend mentality is a great difficulty. I don't have to work, so I'm "off" from everything, right? :) Just for Today 3/22 1. log 2. log everything 3. log the rest 4. go to gym for…

Just for Today 3/20 1. log even when I go over my limit 2. 5 mins meditation 3. do not let the overload of info or the scale set you back. Just keep swimming...

Wow! Complete failure. But I'm actually okay with it. I made a conscience decision to skip the gym because I was getting frustrated with all the conflicting info out there regarding strength training. I needed time to regroup. I did get my house picked up and vacuumed!! Just for Today 3/19 1. log, log, log 2. gym 3. 5 mins…

BIG HUGS to you Joan. I completely understand where you are coming from. I open the cookie jar for ONE cookie, the next thing I know 6+ are gone. Don't even know how it happened. It's frustrating too because so many people get on me for eliminating that stuff from my diet. They tell me I should eat in moderation and how…

Not the greatest of days yesterday. My last minute plans fell through and I was alone on St Patty's day. So I wallowed in sadness and food :( Gotta learn how not to do that. Just for Today 3/18 1. log 2. gym for legs routine 3. 5 mins meditation

Love this idea!

Just for Today 3/17 1. log 2. hit the gym for strength, walk for cardio after (or ride bike if it's raining) 3. 5 mins meditation - my BF reminded me that I haven't been meditating lately @taxmom9093‌ - love your new profile picture!

Congrats!

Once a date is set it will be easier to commit.

I'm in. Love getting out in our "hills." Would prefer something less crowded than Tiger Mountain, but the socialization will do me good :)
