Back to logging for the 1st time since May 3rd, uugghhh! Four weeks of unhealthy behavior; I am lucky to have only gained three pounds. Not sure what got in to me but I'm back and was thankful to see all of your posts.

Very funny @2020pinktogo ! Work has taken over my life since the last week of April and I let the stress take over my diet. Today, once again I am back on track to eat healthy. Grocery shopped on my way in and logged so far today (lunchtime now). There will be no time for exercise until Saturday and then I should have a…

Olga, let's do our best. It's all about progress! Here are my numbers: 210 lbs highest weight 202.4 lbs started MFP (October 2015) 184.2 lbs (April 23, 2016) lots of ups & downs Today 4/25: 185.4 lbs Will try for 1 lb a week avg loss for these next six weeks Goal wt: 178 lbs by June 4th (my sons's graduation day is the…

I'm running out to get my hair cut. Olga, I will post my stats and goals later this afternoon. We can make progress in the next six weeks!

You look great J! Those colors are very becoming on you and are definitely Florida Fun! @NewOR2015 my son's graduation is in six weeks, let make and keep some goals together! Bravo @CaptainBoing Your a great Auntie @2020pinktogo we all can use a little buttering up now and then, enjoy it!

J you're doing great, I am sure you'll reach your goal by July. My family loves SWTaffy, and those stores that have barrels of variety are mind blowing. Thank goodness we only go to them when on vacation! There are very few flavors we don't like.

Crazy busy isn't all bad . . . @CaptainBoing I so enjoy hearing from you. Your energy makes me want to keep moving.

ohhh @2020pinktogo you may drop it as quickly as it came, don't know what that darn scale is thinking sometimes! @NewOR2015 I too do best when it's a routine day or I'm out being active which isn't nearly often enough lately. That's the beauty of morning, any or every can be a fresh start day!

We're having a heat wave, high 80s and very windy. Didn't much matter as I was working on our taxes and stayed in most of the weekend. Not sure why I waited til the last minute this year but I'm glad that's done. Have a good week everyone!

Great news @CaptainBoing it seems the better shape we are in, the quicker the recovery. Something for all of us to keep in mind.

Exercised for the 1st time in 26 days . . . once off track it's easy for me not to continue. I only have the early mornings and I was enjoying the extra sleep but my body was starting to puff up and I don't like that feeling. Renewed commitment feels good, much better than the guilt of knowing I am slacking and not taking…

My “Slim by Summer” Goal 10/11: 202.4 (Starting Weight) 4/11: 186.5 (Current Weight) 6/08: 176.5 (Goal Weight - 1st day of my summer) 7/29: 166.5 (Goal Weight - Family wedding) I love Orlando, I have had the opportunity to go a few times. My husband just went to work at Disneyland so I hope to be going back when he gets…

Thanks for starting each thread. I have been more than off track for some time and spent time today preparing for the coming week. Time goes so quickly. My son is graduating from college in eight short weeks. I must stick to my plan to eat healthy and exercise. My goal is to lose 10 pounds by June 8, totally obtainable. My…

@CaptainBoing I love how nothing gets you down. . . you adjust and go on. It's inspiring! @2020pinktogo you are very clever. I like how you figured out a way to give without intruding. I don't have a daughter (2 boys) but I still know that support needs to be provided in an unobtrusive way or it can be met with much…

This afternoon I went to the Credit Union and just a couple of doors down is a Rocky Mountain Chocolate store. In the past I often stopped in and got one piece as a treat. Today I didn't go in. Then I drove past See's Candy where I would sometimes stop for a couple of pieces of walnut roll. I didn't stop. Then I went to…

I wanted to say something amusing about your new picture so I googled rubber ducky song and sure enough the muppet Ernie has a song about his. Too long to quote but it is pretty catchy.

@NewOR2015 I was on the same track you've been on so I went back to bringing bringing my food to work this week and luckily there have been no extra goodies around. Now that I am on track during the day I have been making up for it when I get home by snacking before dinner, not measuring my dinner portions and going back…

@CaptainBoing there are many ways of participating and writing about your interesting life counts many times over. Some of us write, some of us read and some have time for both. By the way, I love your current screen shot! I try to write something so the group hangs in there, I would miss all of you.

Uugghh, a nice sharing person brought in a giant bag of candy to share. I purposely stayed away from candy and desserts this holiday buying my sons only one chocolate bunny each. They are grown but I still make a basket of sorts. My sister also gave them one bunny each which was ok because there were no loose pieces laying…

Hi ladies, I have been reading the posts without a moment to chime in. March was a crazy month. I wasn't active enough nor did I weigh, measure or log my food. Today I was up less than a couple of pounds so I feel very fortunate. My dad went back to Arkansas after nearly a month, my older son is back at college and both my…

Don't know what happened to me . . . I was going strong and lately I can be so easily derailed. I am getting my exercise back on track (3 day streak). As for my eating, I haven't been tracking for days. I was at least maintaining but now I have added a few pounds. It is time to knock it off! Springs is here and summer just…

Thanks for the laugh this morning @2020pinktogo.

@JMarcella57 you've got the right attitude and we're with you 100%!

Very funny post. We have very little closet/cupboard space in my home and my youngest son has two closets in his room. Go figure. Anyways, he has just been accepted as a recruit candidate for our city police dept and needs room to hang uniforms and suits needed for school. I finally moved out dresses from his second…

@JMarcella57 I'm joining in with your idea of a boot camp week to kick off Spring and get on track to be Slimmer by Summer! I am maintaining my weight loss but need to move on and lose more. My top five goals are slightly different than yours: 1. No garlic bread for dinner no matter how tasty my husband makes it 2. No…

You're very fortunate to have help and a wonderful break ahead, wishing you a safe and enjoyable journey!

@CaptainBoing Wishing you a speedy and full recovery. @NewOR2015 Congratulations on keeping your commitment for a full year. That is no small task, let the celebration begin (even a few days early). @2020pinktogo I mostly kept my hair shoulder length and cut it short when I started MFP in Oct2015. I needed a fresh start…

Have a wonderful trip!

If you have all of your ducks in a row i.e. you ask for more time and it's approved, you're packed and ready to move when you return and financially the added days are not an issue then do it. If leaving for India early will add stress when you return do not. Only you can answer these questions. If possible don't pass up…

I am going to exercise Tuesday-Saturday and log all of my meals. I have been off track for the past three weeks and I am looking forward to getting back to my healthy routine. In the past if you told me one day I would miss eating right and exercising I would have laughed so hard I'd p my pants - but now it's true. That is…
