Hi Roger, I thought this survey was funny! 6 months ago...

Roger that's great news. You're your own hero! I see your weight loss progress posts and smile.

Isn't that the truth. We either buy or don't. Years ago I was told Kraft easy mac in the cup is close and much cheaper. Fettuccini Alfredo lunch is imo much better then the broccoli coloring in rice. But sigh. As long as they have my breakfast bars and 2 lunch bars I will keep my ala carte membership. I do also stock up on…

Chrystal look for your invite by the groups. Message me if you can't find- we're waiting on you!

Roger- I don't know as our group is private. Enjoy the fourth- miss you!

Thanks Roger, BL is inviting however not a "public" group. We start up 7/13!

We start up July 13! I'll be sending invites!

Weekly missions are posted on Sunday's and due by the following Saturday. They are introspective, program- life related ( questions you answer, things you share, obstacles identified with solutions tried or suggested, meant to help overcome the reasons our weight has been an issue) no grading - it's self help- group style!…

Time is a big factor. I used to track my miles and got around 5 a day but they were usually split up. My first walking challenge was to do 100 miles in 6 weeks and I did almost 200 17 pounds in a month? That's incredible. For my restart it took me 5 months to drop 40 but who's counting lol great job!!!

Weekly weigh in on Mondays Weekly missions done before Sat midnite Participation in group Exercise at least weekly minimums Stay on plan. This is for your benefit and to help your team! However we are all one big group. Weekly we roll the leader board for losing and moving and teams are scored and challenge one another to…

Thank you sweethearts. Hugs are always appreciated. How are you doing on your programs and here on MFP? I like the home feed, it's great for busy folks to get a peek at pals and share accountability. My shameless plug is there's a thread I started for the biggest loser challenge that Donna and I are both captains in. It's…

I am Donna. Unfortunately when you are the primary bread winner a lot weighs there. I've been having tests all morning. My doc also took me off work to get me off my foot the rest of the week. I'm hopeful the swelling will leave and my shocks become less frequent. I don't react well to neurotin and am hesitant to try other…

Roger I saw the boards were still up this morning. Coach Mark found his way in.

Hi Cindy! Stay tuned.

I got you!

No fears Sandi, we are still weighing in and there will be accountability. See you soon!

BL 34 will be ending on Memorial Day. We will be taking a break for several weeks before starting up BL35 however... HEADS UP We will continue our thread with weekly weigh in's and support - no missions or required activity during that down time. Vacations and summer are busy for everyone and we'd like to regroup and…

thanks guys. I've had a big struggle to keep my life afloat this week and in order. A positive attitude will see us through the hard times. It's graduation week for my son and I'm taking some time off after today, MD ordered and self chosen. I need to be with my family. Roger I don't disagree on a small scale but I guess…

i need to ask jeff to update our spreadsheet. I don't think he's going to be here with us on MFP. :( His last email indicated he'd keep in contact via email after strolling around here a few days. After seeing the various groups I can see why NS shut down the forums. I knew having been there since 2009 that there were way…

congrats Donna on so many levels. This is the BEST news.

Yes I do, not bruising but red discoloration. I also have battled foot ulcers. One started as a callous and the others as blisters. I don't feel my feet- although I have the sharp shocks. I use the thorlo socks for diabetics and my sandals are vionics. Daily care, lots of lotion and massage.

Progress is progress. Nice to see you here kiddo.

With weight loss and proper diet I've not had gout in quite sometime. protect your feet hon. Glad to see you went right away for help! Loving these video's. You are with class- Reality!

I grew to like it - and no it's not Kraft like. Not imo. I add a little hotsauce and pour it over green beans. I actually like the one with beef better then the other.

it's horrible and leaves us feeling so empty for the reasons you said, faithful companions. I'm so sorry. I had to do the same with both of mine in 2014, 4 months apart. They were both 17 too... he was a handsome boy

Yes as part of Phen-Fen many years ago. Very effective stimulant but as others have said without adapting your eating habits and developing better skills the weight is a vicious cycle. Obviously your doc feels they are of value to you now so please develp the skills you need for long term success. Best wishes, you CAN do…

we will recruit for BL 35 in 2 weeks- stay tuned-

I used to fall alot. Some of it is neuropathy but I didn't realize how much my body size dismorphed everything. Glad to hear you are doing better.

yes the fast fix we all want to see. You are doing very well! I had to adapt my thinking to "this is the way I eat, this is the way I live now." It's been of help in recreating my mindset and retraining habits.

- it may take a while for you to start dropping. Everyone's metabs are different and I had a lot of fluid issue's when I was 300 pounds. Be consistently on your program. You will do this.
