@ashleycarole86 He is a terrier and shih tzu mix. He weighs 18 pounds when he is soaking wet. I love him so much I didn't think it was possible to love a dog so much.

Happy Monday everyone. Yesterday was girls evening out. We went to an escape room. If you have never been I highly recommend it, it was a blast. My steps sucked yesterday but I am making up for it today. Ready to tackle going back to work tomorrow. I feel like my life is finally getting back in order. School is done.…

PW 299 CW 296 @ashleycarole86 I would like to join the step challenge for December. I would like to set my daily goal as 6000 but may increase that number once I get back into the swing of things at work.

Hello everyone. I am Kim, from NC USA. I started my weight loss journey in April. I am down 120 pounds. My goal for November was to get below 300 pounds and I made it. My goal for December is to lose 2 pounds per week. The holidays shouldn't be bad because my family lives so far away and we will only have a lot of food on…

OK I have put some of my stress to the side and feeling much better. My truck will be fixed by tomorrow and even though it cost $1300 I'm relieved. My stepson will be home for Christmas break on Wednesday so I am super happy about that. We planned out our Christmas dinner menu yesterday and I should have no problem…

@PlaneMonkey Those pics are too cute for words. I would love to dress my dog up but he isn't having it. @ashleycarole86 Sounds like a fun evening. Have a great time! @MoStacy Don't beat yourself up. Thanksgiving should be celebrated. November and December is always a little more difficult. We all tend to celebrate…

It's amazing how some exercise will make you feel so much better...

Stressed out today. My activity has been zero.....eating has been good. Work has been put off until next Tuesday. My truck died and is in the shop. My boyfriend of 18 years must be going through something because he isn't acting right. I am about to my breaking point with him. Just feel blah...going to try to turn it…

I have lost over 100 pounds but have 100 more to go. My starting weight was 418. Current weight 299. I eat no more than 25 grams of carbs and no more than 1200 calories per day (This is per physicians guidelines and I take many vitamins a day). I lost the first 119 pounds in 7 months. I am always looking for new friends.

Good news..I got released to go back to work. Hoping to go back Wednesday. I work night shift so this will require a little change. I will start counting my calories at 3pm because that is what time I will get up. It is a little confusing at first but it still works and shouldn't slow my weight loss.

@DD265 I know you are probably not doing a low carb diet but they have low carb tortillas that only have 70 calories and they are incredible. I use them as pizza crust as well as for fajitas and chicken salad and everything in between. Just thought I would let you know about them. @ellz_runs Welcome back. I wasn't here…

@jugar The trip was incredible. The casino is my idea of a perfect trip and surprising my family at Thanksgiving was even better. My mom actually cried when she saw me. I was there with my boyfriend but when we gamble he sits at a card table for 12-14 hours at a time. I have been with him for almost 19 years and love him…

PW 301.4 CW 299 Not the best loss for me but had a wonderful trip. If it wouldn't have been for all the beer I think I would have lost more. Back on track this week and I made my November goal to be less than 300. Hitting the gym and mall early today and then I have to make a million phone calls today. Still hoping to go…

Not my weigh in day but was so happy to see that 3 turn into a 2 on the scale this morning I had to share. While my friends and family are happy too, no one understands that good feeling like you guys so I wanted to share.

Hey everyone. Hope you all had a great weekend. I tried a few new recipes over the weekend and went shopping. It feels so good to be able to buy clothes from a real store and not have to order them online. The credit card companies are going to love me...lol. Can't go to the gym today. My boyfriend couldn't ride his Harley…

Hey everyone. Hope everyone is doing well. It's a stressful time here as I am finishing my last paper before graduation. So far it has 32 pages and I still have at least another 14 to go. Oh how I will glad when graduation day is here. @kellie_erin: I eat high protein diet per doctors order. I have at least 60grams a day…

@jugar @PlaneMonkey As simple as it sounds. I hadn't even thought about salad. Thank you. I know my diet seems kind of strict but it is because I had gastric sleeve surgery in April. So I have lost 113 pounds in only 7 months. The doctors believe my cardiac arrest in June was from an electrolyte imbalance so I make sure I…

@MoStacy @ashleycarole86 Great job! @eggfreak: one tenth of a pound...don't sweat it. You are one healthy dump from being in the green..lol. Normally I do not crave sweets but yesterday I wanted sugar bad. I found a low carb, low calorie pound cake recipe and had all the ingredients in the house so I made it. It was…

Hey everyone. Been busy planning a trip but now have decided to postpone it. We were going to leave for the casino on Friday but after learning that my family will be 15 minutes from the casino on Thanksgiving, we have decided to leave next Wednesday. I am going to show up at my aunts house on Thursday and surprise…

PW 307.6 CW 306.4 Not a very big loss this week but at least it is a loss. Hoping next week will be better.

Everyone did great this week. While there were a few people in the red, it was a minimal amount. That is awesome. Started treadmill walking this week. Made the perfect playlist and I am enjoying it so far. I am thinking about doing the step challenge next month. Right now I am concentrating on 5000 steps per day. My…

@MoStacy I know what you mean about an unsupportive partner. Makes a difficult journey even more difficult. I believe mine feels as though I will leave him if I lose to much weight. He might wanna start acting right or he will be correct in that assumption. @ashleycarole86 It is so wonderful that your husband is on the…

Oh what a day it has been. Went to the gym for cardiac rehab and the first lap of warm-ups the room started spinning and I thought I was going to hit the floor. This is what happened when I had my cardiac arrest in June. I made it to the bench to sit down and started throwing up. They called for medical assistance and…

Happy Tuesday everyone. Nothing much to report from North Carolina today. My boyfriend did surprise me with a treadmill last night so hopefully I can get my step count up. My doctor still hasn't cleared me to go back to work so I'm pretty bummed about that. I need to go back before I lose my mind. Graduation is only 3…

@conleywoods Girl u look amazing! Keep up the good work.

PW 310.6 CW 307.6 Been a rough weekend. I have had trouble getting my 1000 calories in everyday. I never thought I would have that problem but my body has been craving low calorie foods. My steps were terrible this weekend. It was cold all weekend and I was trying to help my boyfriend fix one of our vehicles. I basically…

@kellie_erin: Take it one day at a time and remember you can only do what you can do. Everyone has those moments they feel overwhelmed. Just remember tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start. I know what you mean about Halloween chocolate being around. Luckily I have no kids at home and we took our leftover Halloween candy…

@PlaneMonkey: I feel your pain. I started eating atkins endulge bars (peppermint patty, chocolate mousse, chocolate caramel squares, and coconut are all good). They have a lot of fiber and all but the coconut ones are low calorie and low carb.
