I check in every Friday morning - good or bad - thankfully only one bad so far :) It gives me an idea of what I am doing so I know what seems to be working.

Great job - you are looking great! -

I work in retail also but at a much smaller store but I can get very close to my 10k in about seven hours, depending on what I am doing that day. Keep up the good work - I love my fitbit, it's much easier to account for your lifestyle!

I am also on Synthroid and my doctor ran some tests when she found out I was losing weight and found that my medication needed to increased slightly. But what I was never told, nor is it on any prescription bottle, is that I needed to take it 30 minutes before any other meds or food. Really? That's kind of an important…

Also could there be a medical reason behind the lack of weight loss?

Great job - gives me motivation to know I can do this!

I did - thank you. The company was great, my husband of 26 years and the food was awesome. We started with the appetizer sampler and I ended up ordering the steak with Parmesan shrimp and mashed potatoes and I could only eat half of it! Thankfully the thought of dessert was not even appealing but I had a wonderful time,…

I'm in ..... club sandwich here I come!!

Ahhhh Cheesecake Factory - I am so glad we don't have one close by but you are right, one meal won't kill me and now I want dessert too :) It's gonna be a good day and I have a week to work it off right?

I won't freak out .... unless my husband does not hurry up and get his lazy behind out of bed ... I'm hungry!! And lasmartchika you are absolutely right - my husband has been a wonderful help in my journey and he likes it even better that we are eating better than ever. Well unless he cheats ... his willpower is much lower…

That sounds like a plan - I really wanted the club sandwich but once I saw the calorie count - maybe not. But I love steak and a baked potato is within reason with a veggie. I love it when I have already done the research and know what I am going to feel good eating. I would feel good eating the sandwich now but not later…

Can I call mashed potatoes a veggie lol

I've been looking at the nutrition menu and wow kind of scary - the steak looks like it might be my best bet right now.

Since starting with MFP I have been walking/jogging on my treadmill using the c25k app and I love it. I am also addicted to reading so I set my treadmill up, my app up and I open my book on my iPad. I can do two things at once and it makes the time go by fast because I honestly don't pay attention to the time. I hope you…

Welcome Christy and good luck - you can do it! Feel free to add me as a friend :)

Welcome to our club :) Feel free to add me also - I am fairly new but I love it!

It is so funny that you posted that today because I am wearing a pair of pants that are getting loose (love it) so I decided to try on a size smaller. They fit but were just a little snug and I knew I would be sitting all day at my computer so I decided to go back to the ones that would be the least uncomfortable. BUT I…

Or if you start today you will need to adjust the rest of the week to compensate - it's all about choices but you can do it!

I am still in the early stages of losing weight but what I have found (in my mind anyhow) is that my weigh in day is Friday morning so if I choose to splurge on Friday night or Saturday I tell myself I have all week to "work it off". Only problem is I now find it hard to splurge lol although now I am "seriously" craving…

OK I think I figured it out :) Enable negative adjustments - that's the key.

That is wonderful and you look beautiful! One day soon I will be posting the same success story :)

Great job!

I began my program the second week of January and I am feeling inspired! I am 53 and I live outside of Charleston, SC. In December I saw my weight at 196 and that was not a good feeling so I decided it was time for me to do something about it! I tried another weight loss program for a week but it made me so nauseous that I…

My name is Deanna - Yodee is a nickname my husband gave me years ago :)

Have you had a complete physical including checking your thyroid? That was part of my problem.

Well I guess I need to dig mine out :)

Tag me when it comes out I am trying to find the thing that motivates me in terms of exercising :)

Great - thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of doing a daily goal but following a weekly plan. Is there a way to change that on the food page so that I can see what each day was like? The problem I will probably have is that because I started another diet on a Wednesday and lost 5 pounds (I know that is not a norm),…

Great thank you!

I'm still a bit hesitant on the Tabasco sauce on the popcorn but I am going to be brave and try it
