@newjax2017 I can relate to everything you said, from still carrying our bad habits to the reasons to celebrate! I'm only half way to my goal but I already have better movement, more energy and less aches and pains!! I have never been shy but I've still felt bad about myself especially when I see people I grew up with or…

Fall Challenge Report - Week 6 REVISED. @tdunnegan Terry has just reported in with a whopping 7.8 pound loss!! Last week's gain (water weight?) is wiped out plus more, great going! That changes our numbers, giving us a 27.7 pound loss for the week and 107 pounds cumulative loss to date!! Keep up the good work everyone!

Fall Challenge Report - Week 6 Happy to report that as a whole we had a much better week. The cumulative loss was almost 20 lbs. for the group! 19.9 to be exact, way to go everyone. A special shout out to @jam5660, Jennie has succeeded in reaching Wonderland. Great work, we are all so proud of you, you have reached a big…

@verybusybee no, the challenge hasn't changed what you're seeing is the suggested daily updates/posts for this thread. Our founder, robin's egg (Robin) started this many years ago and on page one you can find suggested posts for each day, I don't have the details right at hand, but one day is to tell us a little something…

@mtumale I am doing the challenge reporting for this particular challenge and you are welcome to join in as are any new people. Just follow the format and plan to post your numbers weekly no later than Thursdays. :smile: On another note, I am struggling...I seem to have lost all will power and I am once again sabotaging…

@b_lisieux very basic question, are you using the attach image icon at the top of every post? Mine works just like any other media i.e. facebook, etc. Click the image, hit browse to find your picture, open picture and it will print. I just tried it will a selfie I took in August. Lets see if it works for me. I used to hate…

Fall Challenge Report - Week 5 Okay folks I waited until tonight hoping that some people were just behind and yes a couple of you did post somewhat late but that was fine. We are still missing 5 people that have been regulars with their updates hopefully they'll return next week. We also have several new people taking…

@jam5660 when you go to the community page, check the bell at the top of the you should have a 1 next to it, because I just tagged you. When you click on the bell it will tell you that you were mentioned in a post. i.e. bapcarrier mentioned you and the time of the post. Also, if you actually click on the notification…

@Nikion901 good to see you post, I was worried about you. I get your mood having been there many times. I have to point out though that apparently those walks you've started on are having a result in the fact that you moved faster/easier when mowing. Way to go! @happygirlxxx I had exactly the same thought yesterday!! I'm…

Helloooooo! I've never in years seen this thread go 28 hours without a new posting! Hope everyone is just busy, busy, busy!

@lydiapassthedonuts sorry for your frazzled week. I wondered what happened to you. (And a couple of other regulars who were missing this week.) Glad to hear it was just an extremely busy time and nothing seriously wrong. I'll just add this week's weigh in to the chart and you'll be up to speed for next week! Hope things…

Fall Challenge Week 4 Congratulations everyone, on the whole we had a much better week this week! :) As a group we went from losing a total of 6.3 pounds last week to 21.9 this week!! Impressive! We have reached a cumulative total of 72.80 pounds lost and 30% of our Fall Challenge Goal so we are closer to being on track to…

@Nikion901 love your idea for pictures when walking. I went out tonight, walked a mile! :smiley: Took this picture, love the evening sky! I wonder why the house on the left looks like it's leaning? It's not! Probably the way I was holding the camera. I'm not the best picture taker but I do love this shot.

Hello folks, I just have a quick minute for a really short check in. @happygirlxxx just wanted you to know I'm praying for your friend/brother. Please keep us posted. @tunnegan Happy Anniversary @cellosmiles Love the dog pictures and that you and @ihp2015 are both walking in the rain! @jam5660 planning meals ahead is the…

Testing Okay, hit the B for bold and you will see pulsing curser. Start typing right where the pulsing curser is (between the two b's), and that part will be bold. Then move the curser outside the area and start typing again. I hope this helps.

@b_lisieux you see the brackets and the b when you're typing but when you preview it or actually post it, it should come up bold. Of course the other day my whole post came up bold not just the first part, but the time before that it worked perfect. Don't know what I did different the second time. :)

@Nikion901 you inspire me, I'm going out for a walk right now!!! I hate to walk, miss my little dog so much, she made my walking a treat, now I just get bored. Need to change my outlook, or find a neighbor's dog to walk, unfortunately, I've tried with no success, all my neighbors seem to enjoy walking their own dogs. Oh…

@happygirlxxx OMG that bread looks delicious! I have to confess, I'm very much like Niki and if Ana's bread was in my house it would be gone in a day. :( That said, I'm going to Texas Roadhouse today for a late lunch, early dinner, meeting family after my brother in laws lab work. I have allotted myself one roll with 1…

Report for week 3 of Fall Challenge Unfortunately this week was a tough one for several of our participants. Just remember if it was easy we would all be thin without any struggles at all! In total 19 of us reported in and our total weight loss for the week was 6.3 pounds. :( That's a total of 51.3 pounds overall and 21%…

@happygirlxxx Sorry to hear you are struggling right now. All I know is what worked for me when I had a bout of eating every night after dinner, (and after all my daily calories were already eaten up!) I used Birgit's suggestion and started counting on my calendar each day I managed to get thru without eating after dinner.…

@birgitkwood just an FYI when I went to setting, profile, goals, my starting weight AND my current weight were already listed. I have the premium program so don't know if that makes a difference or not, but apparently it automatically would change it without my doing anything. Just for the fun of it, I put in my current…

1st item: I DID NOT SNACK LAST NIGHT! Yea! @happygirlxxx I didn't know you were from Peru either, so if you ever mentioned it, it must have been quite a while ago. :) It was very interesting, thanks for sharing the info about the culture and food. I loved the pictures, if you get the chance could you explain exactly what…

Yikes, I really want a snack! Guess I'll brush my teeth and maybe chew some sugarless gum! :( I will not give in, I will not give in... Tune in tomorrow to see who won, the diet angel on one shoulder of the little rascal evil imp on the other shoulder.

@b_lisieux thought you might enjoy this, especially seeing your member ID photo (or whatever they call it, LOL) I think someone else posted this a while ago, but I love it, so posting it again! Good for us all to remember! :)

@b_lisieux Great job logging and measuring, those are two important steps in this journey! No MFP doesn't change your calories as you lose. It is calculated on how many you need to eat to lose weight based on your age, height, sex and activity level. The only thing that changes it (that I know of) is when you log daily…
