Thanks so much for sharing your story. Kudos to you for taking charge of your own health. I also really love your point about motivation verses determination and hope to apply it for myself. ❤️

Monday check-in: I was off plan for a week while on vacation, but I'm back on track today. Forgot to weigh myself this morning, but that's ok. I'll give myself a day or two on plan and maybe it'll make a slight difference on the scales. ;) Happy Monday!

Didn't post a wish yesterday, so here goes: I'm following through on a promise and taking my daughter (10) to a climbing wall on Sunday afternoon. I wish to fit in the climbing harness and to not embarrass myself on the wall. Blowing on the dandelion puff now... ;) Truth Thursday: I ate two spoonfuls of dried up…

Hi guys, May I join your thread? This seems like a very friendly place. :) I see that you're in the middle of a challenge. I entered my info below for all the dates, although I understand if you don't want to add it into to the stats since I'm joining very late. ;) I'm from Tennessee. I've been trying to lose weight for a…

I'm 40, 41 next month. I have 68 pounds to lose, although my first goal is getting below 200, which I'm getting close to doing. (I'm already down around 15 pounds from last summer, although my progress has not been steady. Or should I say, my resolve has not been steady. :/ )

I am the same way. Excited in the morning, distracted by something else or worn down as the day goes on. I haven't been successful yet at sticking to an eating plan for long stretches, but I've learned something about myself recently. I need external accountability in order to meet my own internal expectations. The only…

Way to go!

Happy Birthday, Branden! (A day early.) My fortieth birthday is coming up this Sunday. Nothing like a big birthday to make us reflect, right? I relate so much to what you say in your post. The thoughts and knowledge about how and why to lose weight have been on my mind and heart for so many years, and yet I still haven't…

I recently decided to up my calorie goal, or rather to decrease my weight loss goal from 2 pounds per week to 1. My thought is that focusing on forming the habit of sticking to a plan is the most important thing for me to master first, more important than losing pounds quickly. 1200 calories might be something I could…

Thank you so very much for sharing this. I am so inspired now!

I'll be 40 in May. I stared MFP (for real) and walking with a good friend back in August and did well for a month or two, but have now gained exactly everything back. I'd love to be below my wedding day weight by by birthday,* but that would mean losing between 3-4 pounds on average every week between now and then. I know…

Good work! Thanks for the inspiration. :)

Awesome job!

Great work! Love the new haircut, too!

Congrats! And you deserve to smile! ;)

Way to go!
