Been slacking but I managed to hit my goal for this month! My husband and I have spent a lot of our time at the hospital this past week for his grandma. November 28th 3 miles November 29th 1 mile November 30th 5 miles sucked it up today and worked my butt off to do 5!!!! 30/30 for this month!!!

November 22 2 miles November 24 3 miles November 25 3 miles 21/30! I even got my husband to start doing the workouts with me!

November 19th 3 miles Novmber 20th 3 miles 13/30

So I'm not doing too well at this. Hopefully I can up how many I'm doing this week. November 17th 2 Miles November 18th 2 Miles 7/30 miles so far total

Yeah I figure even if I don't do an entire 5k video in one viewing and break it up through the day it stilk counts. I even ordered my mother one of her dvds and some portion control containers to help with her diabetes. She lost 20 pounds so far!

Thanks! I'm really determined to lose and keep it off long term this time!

Since I'm starting a little late in the month I'm going to set my goal at 30 miles. If I hit that early I'll adjust my goal. November 11: 2 miles November 13: 1 mile 3/30

So glad I found this group! MFP: I want to say I joined MFP around 2013 or 2014. At that time I was only slightly overweight. You could say I was just chubby. I wanted to lose weight just for myself. I did lose about 15 pounds and then I got pregnant with my son. I had a rough high risk pregnancy involving gestational…

No my goal was one pound a week to lose. I have around 15 pounds to lose as my goal weight. Thank you for the calculator!

I'm not a breakfast person, I hate getting up and cooking early. But I know I need something. So I take 1 cup of frozen mixed berries, 2 scoops which is 1 serving of my vanilla protein powder, 1 cup of raw spinach, and 1 cup of almond milk blend it in my blender until it has a milkshake consistency and I have that. keeps…

Measure and weigh all your food. Log everything you eat and drink. I would say spend at least 2 to 3 days logging everything you eat and be totally honest and then you'll get an idea of what parts of your eating habits you need to change.

I'm still waiting for my confidence to emerge.

I'm 5'6 my goal weight is 130. I'm currently 138 but I started at 182. For me personally I feel I look my best at 130.

I want to confess this to see if anyone else does this. Something I do to motivate myself to keep losing is once I've lost enough weight to fit into the next size down no matter how well that next size fits even if I'm slightly sucking in to fit I switch all my clothes to that new size and get rid of all my others to…

Here lately I really haven't been stressing about my weight or my goal weight. I'll get on the scale an weigh my self and see I may have gained or lost a pound and I'm just not stressing about it I feel happier about the fact that I'm not stressing out anymore then how much I've lost. The best part about this I think is…

I think I am finally starting to get my life together. I almost to my goal weight and I finally know what I want to do with my life career wise. Hoping to work on getting my GED in August and to start taking prereq's required to apply for for the radiology program at my local college. I feel like life is starting to fall…

I did i told him i can help him but it has to be up to him to stick with eating right and exercising. Also I think part of his issue is he sees how well i'm doing and i think its making him insecure Lately he shows up off work with my favorite fast food..which hes never done before. I had a talk with him that if he brings…

my husband is taking out on me the fact that hes not losing weight. He quit counting calories and quit exercise of any form other than going to work. I have been supportive and making his meals for works and dinner. Its not my fault he chooses to buy fast food when im asleep or when he gets off work. no one is making him…

Ugh I've been eating terrible this week. I keep ending up in the red even with exercise. I met my goal of one pound lost this week but still I need to get my eating in check. I feel terrible because I know I need to control myself.

Put it in a large ziploc bag the kind with the little plastic piece on top. That way if it falls in it won't be damaged and if your hands get wet the kindle won't. I do this all the time. And the touch screen still works it the bag on it.

When I was super skinny I never really got compliments. At that time I was probably 110 pounds. I constantly had people asking me if there as something wrong with me and if I had an eating disorder. While being over weight I've been asked if I'm pregnant alot. My mother in law and I where in target and she started to look…

I'm so sick of laundry. I'm just going to start working out in my underwear and only wear clothes when I leave the house to run. The amount of dirty clothes i have is just crazy.

I do this too. But I put my daughter to bed at 7:30 so I could have quite time before having to go to bed to get up at 4:30 at work. Sadly these days 8:00 bedtime isn't happening for me.

Yeah so my mother was complaining about her weight then asking me for advice because her doctor says she has to lose. So I told her about CICO and mfp. I explained to her also that any exercise at this point would help her even if its taking small walks. Anyways I really stressed counting her calories and using mfp. What…

Seriously considering buying a $15 motivational water bottle. Just for the fact that it has lines marking the time of day to motivate you to drink that much water. Some days I go without drinking any water what so ever. I pretty much only drink coffee and 0 calorie monsters. Which I know isn't good.

I can wear my son and walk for 5 miles without getting out of breath or even feeling like hes too heavy. My wedding ring is super loose for the first time in over a year. My clothes fit better. Face, legs, and arms are all thinner. I went from an XL in yoga pants to just an L.

The good thing is we can do better today though and keep working on it. :)

Too bad theres not a love this option for the OP.

Yeah I wouldn't weigh either until you can go. That restroom trip sometimes makes a big difference on the scale. CONFESSION I ate pretty terrible on thursday and friday. I didn't want to be honest with myself on everything I ate. But yesterday I finally added all the food I really ate on those calories and now seeing how…

Its not the greatest. I know I can leave at anytime but I am trying to make things work on my end. I'm very clear that if he doesn't start trying then I'm done. I'm just waiting to see if hes going to make the change or not. But mostly my kids are my motivation to keep losing. I don't want diabetes like my mother. I had…
