You da man!!! That's awesome. I hear ya about it being so hard. I'm not saying that is is for you, but I know that my food thing is an addiction. It's like alcoholics are to stay away from alcohol and places where they can be tempted. We can't very well stay away from food or say, "I'm never going to eat again. I'm not…

Fanatasitc!! I'm very happy for you! Pasta is something I ADORE. I should have been born an Italian. lol I know I don't have totally give it up, but, c'mon, 1/2 Cup to 1 Cup is a serving depending on what plan you are following? I'd rather do without it. It's my nemesis. lol You were strong and you SHOULD BE PROUD!!

That's fantastic you hit 219!!! Yea for you!!! I know how your feel. It's taken me two years to lose 50 lbs. I've been messing around over the last few months going between 239 and 242. Every time I'd finally get in the 230's I'd get so excited, then I'd gain two pounds. I do have bad circulation in my legs and sometimes…

MY STARTING WEIGHT: 285 (When started MFP) 5/9/16: 5/16/16: 5/23/16: 240 (Started Summer Challenge Here) 5/30/16: 240 6/6/16: 238.5 FINALLY!

Way to go, Tiffany! You got your gain off from last week. That's super!

You got this!

Almost 4 pounds in 2 weeks! Wooohooo!

The exercise is great!

woohooo! More than a pound a week.

I clicked on "social groups" at the bottom of the dialog box and it said, "You don't have permission to do that." hahaha! I'm a bad girl.

Maintaining means you didn't gain. Yea, for you!

Look at you go!

Week 1 240 Week 2 240 Week 3 238.5 I hope this is the beginning of the trend down again. I've been at 240-241 for a couple of months. Several times I didn't help the cause. I got frustrated and had too many days in a two week period where I had "extras" I ate things I wouldn't normally eat after I should have been done…

Everyone is doing so well. Right now I'm relieved that I stayed the same. I ate things I normally wouldn't eat on Saturday and Sunday. I can blame it on Memorial Day and there being other things around, but I always have other things around that are junkie that my family eats that I have to stay away from so it ultimately…

Fabulous!

Looks like everyone is doing well! Week 2: 240lbs (Stayed the same.)

59 more to go sounds like something to celebrate, Tom. Not with ice cream or pizza, though. hehe CONGRATS! Tom

Glad to meet you. Congrats on your success with the certification AND with holding your weight through all the stress!

Hey, it doesn't matter what you are now. The important thing is you are here to change that. :smile:

Wooohooo! You go girl!

15 years ago was my highest. I was 405. I'm 240 now, but have been as low as 175, but I've been heavy most of my life even as a grade school kid, gaining and losing all my life. Many of us have compulsive eating problems. I think we REALLY need to hang on to each other so we don't feel so alone in this. You did the best…

Hey, congrats on your measurements!! That's great! And thanks for the suggestions. The only time I use a wheelchair is when I have to go to a hospital or doctor's office that is a far way from the parking garage. I have a friend who drives me and pushes the wheelchair, then if it looks like it's going to be a pain to get…

Nice going! Keep it up!

Way to go!! Another little victory!

Hi, memere. There is a separate thread to join the group. Go to this link. At the top there is a place you click that says "Join" http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/114118-6-week-accountability-challenge. Once you do that, you scroll down a bit to the discussion board that says, "WEEK 1 -Weigh-ins FitMommyMal"…

The important thing is that you keep trying and your ARE moving at least some during the week. That's a wonderful thing.
