This made me smile about the weight watcher meeting,

We went out for our daily walk( allowed during lockdown). Not sure how to describe walking in a snow storm trees are beautiful , each branch has lovely fluffy wet snow, sidewalks not yet plowed... kind of like walking on the beach in the sand without the sun and the water lol....... great day for snowmen . You cant really…

That is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have really appreciated all I have gained this month regarding patience . I am as well really inspired by all the success people have had in the long game.I can safely say I feel like my mindset has shifted too. Alot of that has been through reading your posts. So at your lowest moments please know others are reading…

GrammaLisa, you are too funny, made me smile today with your post. I am finding I need to break to eat( taught 5 hours of Zoom classes yesterday. Still getting out each day for my walk but we are in another 28 day lock down here in Ottawa. I am so grateful though as I read through the posts it sure is not an easy time.…

Wow MAxCart1000 you have already had some great success. Smiled when you shared about getting it out of your house... okay you ate it.... its what I really appreciate most about peoples post, so true and so relatable. I had a similar week two days close to 2000. Wednesday was such a surreal day found myself really goin…

Great job everyone, regardless of the highs and the lows we all made it to the end of the week. One thing for sure, we are not exactly were we were one week ago week. Whether physical weight or emotional insight we have all either lost or gain and have succeeded in making it through! Brave to…

KCM55 can so relate to your post. Back to work on Monday and although am working remotely from home I find myself having to ensure I take time to stretch and eat too. But I found myself emotionally eating last night and ate over 600 more calories. One thing I am so grateful is that I am now able to not be "all or nothing"…

GrammaLisa, totally agree around walking. We started March 15 last year and try to get out for 3,4 or 6 km per day. Angif05 I dont want to take away what you are feeling but always remember the sum of who you are is soooo much more than a number on the scale, its how you are, what is in your heart and how you are loved by…

Angie, I took a look at your food intake and am probably no the best person to ask as not always sure my choices are balanced but I also eat rice cakes and whole wheat bread daily for starch. Yesterday I went way over ( Jamaican Black Cake) but today pressed reset. I think one thing I have learned form all the supportive…

Thanks goal06082021 , it gives me a sense of feeling organized too. Thanks for answering .

Hi, Does any one else log their food at the beginning of the day and just adjust as the day goes on? I have found this really helpful for me. I am back to work tomorrow , classes start next Monday. Teach remotely but looking forward to the new semester.I love teaching.

Resolutions for 2021 Continue to walk everyday Continue to log my food in MFP Ensure my expectations are realistic Read More Get to the UK to see my grandson( hopefully May 2021) Goal Weight by January 2022 : 155 ( 58 pounds)

Hi Everyone, had a good Christmas and think I might have managed to loss about one pound this week. Still logged everything down but am glad that I am back into a routine again. Off work until Monday so am enjoying pottering around the house and doing some sorting. Realize I have a really hard time letting go of things. I…

Luvmyhubby your focus and "impatience" has probably been the gift that got you through this time. First thank you for everything you do on a daily basis. I know you have heard it before but you are our unsung heroes on our front lines of Covid. Wishing you all the success as you press reset and focus a little bit on you…

Hello everyone, just wanted to check and say hello to say I hope you have the best holiday possible. We are in lockdown here in Ottawa starting on December 26 for a month but I am so grateful as we are well ( my husband has cancer so we are super careful right now) , my kids, their husbands and grandkids are doing well…

Thank you ninerbuff, the biggest take away I am hearing is also that it takes time a number of years for the skin to retract. I anticipate my tummy will be my most challenging area. I am really trying to focus and remain motivated. Hard but did my measurements and am down a few inches. Best of all feeling better .

AnnPT77 and Springlering62 read both your stories.... exactly what I need. My body type looks so similar to yours Springlering62 makes me so hopeful. I know it took a lot of work for you both. The pictures have given me a great visual of how possible it can be for me too. Thank you,

Thank you cmriverside, both helpful and encouraging.

Almost the end of my second week and am seeing seeing the results. My jeans are fitting a bit better and also going down on the scale. I have found logging the food helpful. Slow and steady wins the race but find myself working hard on realistic expectations. I am harder on myself then anyone could be. I want to try an…

Hi Shayy01, I am a college professor and I know that this is is such a stressful time of year for students with assignments, papers and exam coming up. You are working too and doing all this amidst such a challenging time with COVID. So glad you are also putting time for you. Hope you have a great rest of the month, Vicky,…

Hi Sue, welcome, can totally relate to your post. You sound like you know yourself well and appreciate hearing your story too. I lost 24 pounds last year but put it all back on.
