@200Karen Great photos! You look like you girls are having such fun! @Jillygirl0220 Love Zumba! Looks like you rebounded and had a great active week.

Sorry, I have not had time to post. Work is crazy and I just don't have the energy to post. Positive news: Eating low carb. I will weigh tomorrow. Pilates workout and lift weights at home. Meditate every night before bed. When I pack my lunch, I try to pack a veggie, a fruit, a protein and a salty snack (small portion).…

@faurotann I am reading some older posts on this challenge. I am so inspired by you! Thanks for motivating me/us!

HW 206 lbs. 2023 8/2 171.0 8/13 172.0 8/22 169.8 9/3 170.1 I am stuck for months in this range of pounds. But I will look at things from a different angle. Positive changes: Ate more veggies and fruit each day. I have made a consistent effort to pack both in my lunch box. Exercise: Pilates regularly and walking over 10,000…

Hooray! Happy you found your keys. That's a relief. Congrats on 2 days.

@Walela617 Also, I'm sorry you lost your keys. I hope no one took them. When I lose something I say that prayer to St. Anthony. Look it up. I am not even particularly religious but I swear when I pray this prayer, my item is found. It could work. I sure hope no one breaks in, but I chuckled at your story. You're so sweet.

@Walela617 I totally know how good intentions can be short lived. I was up a lot last night, sleepless, and kept mulling over and over "why do I drink, why do I drink." I sleep horribly when I drink a lot. Today, I had a cookout with family and I went right to my fridge and pulled out some wine and filled my glass. Even…

@Walela617 Congrats Carole!! So happy for your 8 days AF! You must feel much better.

@Walela617 So sorry about your diagnosis. Wishing you the best. You got this! @LowTechForever Me, too. I am not AF but not going wild either. I worry about my grown kids, too.

@200Karen Looking great! You did a ton of work.

Hi! I'm eating less calories because I went back to work and my lunch time is late and so I'm eating eggs/ham in the morning, carrots and small bag of chips for a snack (got to have my salty snack) small lunch and regular dinner. Overall, just less calories, so I'm happy with 2 pound loss. Went to Pilates once but got over…

@WestCoastGirl_7 I'm so sorry for your loss. That is is so terribly sad. I was very happy to see you post even though it is under sad circumstances. I love your new name. A fresh start. @globalhiker Amazing!!! I was sober for the first 40 or so days that you were sober, and to think, I could have been celebrating one year…

@Walela617 Happy, happy birthday!

Ahh ok. Thanks for the update. I see. Yes, we hope all good things for her. You do have a great bestie! Very encouraging and positive.

Hi everyone, I am concerned we haven't heard from Surfergirl in 10 days. I hope everything is ok in her world. I remember she said her husband had a major health problem. Just thinking about her. ♥️

Happy Birthday Carole◡̈

@faurotann I hear you! I have high hopes and goals but by evening, I just feed my stress. I like your idea of tracking food. When I tracked my food for a period of time, it becomes a habit. I have to get back to that, too.

@Maya440 That's a great idea! I forgot about Cottage Cheese and how good it is for you with fruit.

Thank you Carole! My mom just told me she eats Fage. So, I will buy some!

Hey friends! Welcome to our new friends! Made some positive choices this past week: Worked out twice this week. Finally went to the gym. Once I'm there, I love it. I did some biking, elliptical and weights. I even jogged once around the track. I used to love to jog. Ate salads for lunch and lower carb for other meals.…

Good morning friends! I have 4A days and 3 AF days since last Sunday. I have not done that in a very very long time. My secret… make doctor's appointments and lab work appointments. Motivates me to be AF when I know I am having blood work. I also received some excellent health news; a problem I was worried that could get…

I have been in the low 170s since November. Time to change it up! What I'm currently doing is not working, because I have been winging it. I need to log my food - that's the only way I can lose weight. HW Summer of 2023 206 lbs. Goal for this three month challenge: lose 10 pounds and implement low carb diet. That always…

Hi! If you are new to our group, post when you want to post. Weekly is probably a great idea, so you can see your progress. But please post anytime you want! I will weigh in tomorrow~ I was on a short, wonderful trip with a friend and her husband. Side note: My friend @SunnyDays930 and I met on MFP probably 6-7 years ago,…

You can also press the "quote" button next to Insightful and Flag. Welcome to everyone! So excited to see your posts.

Welcome to everyone! There are no rules for this forum. Just post when you want; some people post their stats weekly. I think by posting weekly you benefit from reading other people's posts and learning from each other. But post as often as you want. 😀

In a few days, can someone repost this link to this thread in case someone doesn't see it today? Thanks 😀

Hi Friends, Well, here is the next challenge. Just book mark it after you click the link. Thanks for participating and making this challenge motivating and friendly.

I'm enjoying reading all of your posts! Thanks to everyone for supporting each other!! Love it! I may post the new link today or tomorrow if I have time because I am traveling for the next few days.

Hi friends, I am still here. I am a huge Superman fan. I grew up with Christopher Reeves as Superman and I loved those movies. I still plan on seeing this, but I will probably be like you.. disappointed. I was disappointed in the newer Raiders of the Lost Ark movies. Nothing can beat the first one. It was magical. 5/2…

@LittleSurferGirl7 Post on whichever day you want. I'd probably do 7/31 and then I'd weigh again on 8/1 and post that on the new thread. But you do anything you want◡̈
