I'm going through the same thing. I had a few hard days thanks to it. Just post here when it gets tough!

Getting back on track after 5 days off. Goal this week is just stay under my goal and no fast food.

I need this. I've been off program since last Wednesday. I'll weigh tomorrow morning and post. I would like to lose 12lbs in March.

Welcome!

Thanks! I was only sick 2 days. As sick as I was I made myself eat enough and did everything right.

Well weigh in was today. I was up 2.2 lbs. I was devastated. I measured everything this week and was under every day. I was sick, so I don't know if that played a factor... has this happened to anyone? I was thinking I wouldn't lose much, but to gain is heart breaking. I've stuck to it today regardless. I just need some…

10 to 15lb differences sounds like a scale issue. Maybe time to treat yourself to a new one :) I think being in the 300s we have to be cautious...some are accurate to only 300 or 325 or 350. I'm looking into getting a new one myself

I am so ready for a new week after being off work a whole week. Flu has left the building! Whatever the scale brings me after being sick , I will take. Pushing forward! Goals this week. 1. Exercise 3 times. Did first one tonight. 20 minutes! 2. Drink water 3. Log all my food Mini goal. I am good at teaching little ones,…

Thanks! How does everyone cope with MFP and sickness. I have the flu.

What's the mini goal?

Michelle I love cheese too. I allow myself one 80 calorie string cheese snack a day. I will crumble on a salad....or use it to make a pizza on bread. Today was weighin...week three down 2.6 more lbs. I'm pleased! My 3 week total is 13.2. Only 86.8 to my first giant goal. :) My husband brought home BK for breakfast. .. ( I…

How about eating under your allotment on the days your not eating out? Also trim maybe 100 calories off breakfast and at lunch. That will give you a couple extra. When you do eat cheesecake...stay away from the ones with lots of extra things on top. Opt for the fruit instead...no whip cream. Also at the steakhouse...aim…

Banana English muffin, PB, and a half of a banana sliced on top

Extreme weight loss on TV. They do carb cycling.

Are you doing Heidi and Chris Powells plan?

I don't think I can to Canada

1. Stick to my calorie limit. I went over today by 200 2. No chocolate! It spawns hunger for me 3. Work on my water intake 4. Survive PMS. It's making my appetite huge. I would love some texting buddies!! Sometimes it's just nice to have a little encouragement when I can't log in. Weigh in Wednesday

Be careful though...lots of water can increase blood pressure. In the 300s, I find 10 cups keeps me hydrated. I may need more when summer comes.

Welcome Mindy! I'm Cindy :) You can do it, I think the support here is wonderful. 70lbs down is awesome!! Feel free to add me and we can help encourage each other. I'm in my third week but have lots to lose.

My husband and I have both wanted a Vitamix. We can do so much with our garden in the summer in it. So we decided today at my 40lb mark to purchase one. Great motivation for me to keep it moving! I made a marble jar today of pounds lost and pounds to go. Starting with my first 100

PMS is tough. Can't wait until AF shows and I can go back to my normal appetite.

The movie fest sounds fun! Would be hard not to eat through all that! It will be a good week...good for you for planning ahead!

Good luck at weigh in!

Today has been tough for me food wise. I stayed home to be with my daughter who has had mono since Christmas. Last couple weeks she hasn't been able to go to school. Anyways I've wanted to just graze all day! I'm still under calories...but I don't think I made the best nutritional decisions...I also have PMS ...so I know…

I love your ideas! I would love to ride a bike again.

I'm thinking in bits too. No rewards planned. I kinda of feel rewards got me this way ...did something great...treated myself too food...sad...comforted myself with food. The only reward for me is better health. My goals 1. Go under 300 2. Get off BP meds 3. 275 4. 250 5. 220 I have not weighed under 300 in 10 years so…

Katie I will add you on Instagram :)

I have said no every day at work...when someone offered me something sweet. They know I'm on a diet...and still ask. I know they are trying to be polite. Cookies are my weakness, and I still managed to say no. I loved it afterwards because I felt I was in control!

Checking in and loving all the positive posts! It keeps me motivated :) Weigh in was today...I am down 2.2 for a total of 10.6 in 2 weeks. It takes about 25 lbs on my size to see a difference so onward I move. My goal this week is to cook at home everyday but Valentines Day...allow myself 1 Valentines treat of my chosing…

Welcome!!! Feel free to add me! You can do it!
