Bummer! The fasting tracking is the main reason I upgraded to Premium. I can't even see how to log it on my computer!

I would love to try this challenge! January Start Weight: 218 January Goal Weight: 205 Ultimate Goal Weight: 150 January 1: 218 January 8: January 15: January 22: January 29: January 31:

I am in! I crave accountability and inspiration! I want to stop getting mad at myself and make progress so that I can feel proud of myself! It's so easy to fall asleep at the wheel and eat for comfort. I read this morning a great post that Change Isn't Easy, but it's Attainable!

I'm baaaaackkk! Wow... what is this world coming to? I gotta say that I have been struggling with the isolation of the pandemic. I'm working from home and ... confession time... I've backslid to stress eating. Every day and every week I battle with myself in trying to get it under control. I am at 199 today... I have been…

Hello My Friends! Yay to @skinnyjeanzbound for the success on the keto-lite! I know it works for me if I stick to it. Fingers Crossed I believe I am on a good path to break this little up-down trend. For the first time on a Monday I weigh less than I did on Friday. That's a big deal for me! Again, hats off to…

Hello! It's Keto-Lite Cyndy reporting in from sunny California! Sorry if you are having snow, like in Colorado... we had a heat wave today! So Keto-lite plus the intensive workout is starting to do it's magic. I don't know if I can call it magic because it's work... but I think it's working! My weight hasn't dropped a…

Good luck @skinnyjeanzbound !!!! I am trying to get closer to Keto... down to averaging 50-60 grams of carbs a day. Hope to see results soon!

Hi Everyone! Thanks for the great encouragement about the workout/weigh loss intensive. Today starts week #2. Well, I can tell you that it was not easy last week. I survived! Monday was in the weight room... not too bad. 2nd night I did my 60 minutes cardio right before the class which was in the gym at my fitness club.…

@MelodiousMermaid -- Way to go on the Goal keeping and congrats on 10 lbs down! It is inspiring to see your progress!!! Today is the start of my gym's 2 month Health and Wellness Fitness Intensive. I am both excited and a little nervous. Hope I can keep up! We will have 3 group workouts a week and one support group meeting…

Happy Friday! Just checking in to say hi and to share that my goal is to stay on point for the 2nd weekend.... to get a good streak going. Still not much movement on the scale. I'm starting a Health and Wellness Intensive at my gym which begins Monday. Group Workouts Mon-Tue-Wed evenings with two fantastic trainers and a…

Oh @mnwalkingqueen ... much love to you! I know grief well, and it is a big emotional rollercoaster. Sending hugs! @MelodiousMermaid -- I hope you feel happiness and satisfaction because you are making GREAT progress on your journey... and helping all of us along the way. I am grateful for you.

I talked myself out of eating office sweets this afternoon!

@MelodiousMermaid Wow... great progress! You are steadily losing weight! Way to go! AFM... I am not dropping again yet, but my NSV is that I had a successful weekend. I stayed on the eating healthy path and got plenty of exercise. It's the first weekend in MONTHS -- so maybe this will start my MoJo. I know I'm starting out…

Greetings everybody! Happy Friday. Well... I have fallen off the wagon and gained back my little loss +1. I am trying not to let it get me down and just taking it one good decision at a time. I keep forgetting to Stop, Drop and Meditate! Last weekend it started with the Dodger Game. Kinda lost my mind with all the…

@mnwalkingqueen What a sweet photo of you and your papa! I have been there, too... too many times. Cherish these sweet moments, they will carry you through. Much love! @neugebauer52 I understand the challenge you have... I have it too... and I succumbed yesterday. There was a container of Pringles left over from lunch.…

@MelodiousMermaid You are doing a great job of being mindful! That in itself is a non-scale victory. I know the battle is hard, but the rewards are great! I am sure if you keep it up, you will start to get the "feels." @cjbrummet I applaud you for training for the 5K Heart Walk! I'm sure the next 5k... when you do the…

QUOTE FROM @sweeetypie1 "@raindogmaa I am not a night time snacker but there are occassions when I get hungry just before bed because it's been several hours since dinner. If I must snack, what satisfies me is 1 piece of toast with peanut butter." YUMMY! I love that too much. I would not be able to stop at one. But I do…

@ipomeroylaw Thank you for the Stop, Drop and Roll idea! I truly love it! I had my final straw last year about this time. Lost a good friend to cancer and it really got me thinking about my health. I stopped drinking and did a version of Keto. I call it Keto-light. Where in Keto they say only have 30 grams of carbs... I…

Thank you @mnwalkingqueen and @happygirlxxx for the great suggestions. I wrote a post yesterday but I may not have pushed POST REPLY. Anyway... wanted to report in that the first night of the "Battle of the Snack Attack" was not an easy battle... but I won. Whew! I got the munchies seriously... after I had dozed asleep…

@happygirlxxx Thank you for your words of encouragement. I know that long plateaus are the hardest... and I'm trying my best not to give in to temptation. I am now barely under 190 and I intend never to see that number again! I realize from my weigh-in report... I have been hovering around 184-190 since January. It's…

Hey Gang! I have not been posting my stats weekly like I should... but I have been enjoying reading about everyone's progress, goals and motivations. What a great group! Welcome back to @happygirlxxx !!! I hear you, Girl. I am fighting like mad not to regain weight but it seems like I am starting to let all the bad habits…

Hello Fellow Travelers on the Journey for a Smaller Size and Better Health! How wonderful to log on today and see all of the posts! This is really great! I am Cyndy and I have been on and off this feed for a couple of years. Last year, when I lost a really good friend to cancer and was going through some family drama... I…

@sweeetypie1 You can do it!!!!

One day at a time @JudyKenova40! Hell! In my case, One Meal at a Time. Welcome -- this is a super supportive group... lots of really great people. AFM -- Sugar is my current demon. I am having a heck of a time kicking the cravings and giving in more than I should. Last week Monday and Tuesday I went overboard so I decided…

@RaevsReality You can do this!!!! Check in often!

Hey gang.... wow... nice to have new people on the thread! Welcome and congratulations for making the effort to get healthy! It's a big step and I applaud everyone for doing this. AFM - We all have our ups and downs - emotionally. Currently I am on an emotional down which makes the scale want to inch up. Just can't seem to…

Wow! Looks like we've got a good group and a water challenge going on. I am jumping in! So... I lost my streak of logging in to MFP. I was at 313 or something days. Went to see my family in Colorado and lost track, gained 2 lbs but had a marvelous time. I am getting back on the path - (Mantra: Its a journey, not a race...…

Ha ha! unfortunately it was the 187 scale! I am currently off the rails, trying to get my mojo back. What a difference a day makes! Both ways!

Happy Monday! Welcome @rosie5456! Good job on the loss. I am also at 1200 calories a day. Sometimes I go under and sometimes over... for instance.............THIS WEEKEND, ARGH! Confession time in California. So I am housesitting at a friends house. In MY house I have eliminated all the foods that tempt me. This house I'm…

Bump. This is a very cool thread!
