I looked up my trans fat report and found only 2 days out of 90 when I had any trans fat. One day I had Church's fried chicken and the other I had Church's fried shrimp. (I'm from Texas.)

I look forward to having your problem of being at 155ish. :)

I look forward to having your problem of reduced insulation. :)

I'm back at my mom's (every two weeks now cuz my sister is getting burnt out from being here). Stress and boredom make us eat when we're here. Plus, if there's any kind of celebration it has to involve eating. @2020pinktogo So why is it that your cuckoo bff gets to come back? Is she protected by some law?

What did I win?

Why has this thread slowed down?

loose change

I just now noticed the Like and Awesome buttons. How long have they been there?

@2020pinktogo I can't believe Crazy is still there! Is she related to the owner? Looks like we've each got our goals to keep us going. It feels like a race now. The good thing is that we can each win the race in our own time.

I almost had a great weekend. Almost. I got a lot of stuff done, ate healthy food, and did plenty of walking. But you know how I said I love sweets? Well, I had visitors on Saturday, and they walked in with cake, ice cream, and m&m's with peanuts. I managed to avoid the cake and ice cream, but peanut m&m's are my favorite.…

I am off to a good start. I walked to the grocery store, bought only healthy stuff, and walked back. I, too, am a sugar addict. Oh, how I love my sweets! The plan is to avoid having them around and to keep full on veggies.

Here are my numbers: 254 lbs highest weight (2008) 242 lbs started mfp (March 2015) 211.2 lbs (March 2016) lots of ups & downs since spring break Today: 211.8 lbs I feel like I'm still heavy enough to try for 1 lb a week for these next six weeks, and then go for half a pound a week after that. Goal wt: 205.8 lbs by June…

Okay, Robin, you're on. My nephew's graduation is June 4th. I will weigh in tomorrow morning and try for a 6 lb loss in 6 weeks. I have not done very well on losing weight in 2016. This might be the push I need. :) Details tomorrow. -Olga

Fabulous! I'm sticking to my denim and dark colors for a while. But maybe someday....

Nothing new or exciting happening at the moment. I should be putting more effort into being active, but I am mostly just running errands and doing chores around the house. I am doing well on eating more vegetables. I was never a vegetable lover so this is great for me. I have a graduation and a trip planned for June. I…

I'm home! I'm feeling good about getting back to a daily routine. My scale thinks I am maintaining. My body says I am losing weight again. Several friends are now noticing. Yay! Their comments help motivate me to keep at it. @Living360 A fresh start every morning works! One day at a time. @CaptainBoing "Crazy busy" is a…

@2020pinktogo You are doing great! Sorry about the allergies.

Now, thunderstorms are coming. I'll have to stay at my mom's an extra day or more. I was looking forward to going home and getting back to my routine. I do much better when it's a routine day. How's everyone doing?

The sun's shining again! Yay!

I'm at my mom's again. Weather is a little blah so I feel blah too. :( Tryin to keep from eating just cuz I'm bored. I want happy weather again so I can be happy. :)

Awesome!

WTG, Robin!

I made some soup today. That should keep me in veggies for the next couple of days. We're expecting rain. I'll be staying indoors and getting my veggies in. No more candy around. :)

@LIving360 A pound a week is totally doable if you stick to your plan. Good luck to you. Please know that you have already succeeded...in raising a son who is about to graduate from college! Good job, mom! @CaptainBoing I'm glad to hear that you had a fun weekend and continue to find motivation around you. I am sure that…

Fabulous! Congratulations!

Still on my good streak. Tomorrow will make a whole week of being good. Haven't done that since before spring break. It was about time!

I had planned to do yard work again, but it rained. I was actually disappointed. Eating well has given me energy to want to do work. I'm reorganizing stuff in the garage again and will be making another run to Goodwill.

@JMarcella57 Best of luck and have a great time shopping for shorts! @2020pinktogo Get yourself a kiddie pool and enjoy wearing your new swim suit. :)

I, too, take my DL, IC, CC, & phone when I go anywhere...even if it's just to check my mail down the block. How's everyone doing? I've had a good week so far...more on track than I've been in a loooong time. I feel so much better when I eat right; I don't know why I don't do this for myself all the time.

Great day today. Finally, feeling on track. Got my veggies in, staying within my calorie limit, hitting all the right nutrients. As for pockets, I do feel I'm losing pocket space whenever I have to go down a size. The pockets on my size 22W pants were awesome! Not so much in my 16Ws.
