  • I had to go dig out my box of clothes that were "too Small" to find a pair of pants that fit this morning. All my regulars are too big!

  • Oh It's on the list! I saw some Chihuly in Vegas and Columbus and I'm hooked! I also want to hit the MoPop Marvel exhibit and go whale watching. Other than that, I just want to relax and unwind :)
  • I had my first person comment that I look slimmer. She knows how hard I've been working, and we go to the same gym. It feels good!
  • My husband and I went through our books and gave a whole trashbag's worth to goodwill. Then we could clear the pile of books from the floor that never fit on the bookshelf! I feel so much better, it's amazing! I need to declutter the backroom, but it feels like a monster project. It's all stuff we didn't have a place for…

  • Hello and Welcome to the newbies! Jump right in here, we're all nice. We're closing up a summer challenge, but I know there will be a fall one. Basically, weigh in each week, no matter if it's a loss, maintain, or gain. Sometimes we have weekly focuses to go alongside the challenge. I need to refocus this week. Diet was…
  • I will be flying in October, the last time I flew was 2 years ago. Looking back at my weight logs, I weigh the same now (after losing 23 pounds) as I did that flight. I had to use a seat belt extender. That flight was American, the year prior we flew Southwest, and I needed an extender then as well, but was too embarrassed…

  • When you press the button on the tracker to go through differnt modes, the workout tracking has a little figure and says run. You can tap the screen to go through the presets. Run, weights, treadmill, workout, elliptical, bike, and interval training. Then press and hold the side button once you find the one you want to…
  • Its the fitbit app. I have a charge 2, you can turn on workout tracking when you're getting ready to exercise. They have very few preset options. I use the generic "workout" when I'm doing something not on the list.
  • I have a good thing going on my workouts! I love seeing the data on everything
  • So, I've operated in the same 20-30ish pound range for years. I'm close to getting out it. 278.4 is the lowest i have logged from June 2016. Once I get past that, I'll be the lowest recorded on MFP. I never weighed or paid attention before I joined, but I've been this pant size for a long while before joining. I feel like…

  • I've been saying no to a lot of things, food and non-food, lately, and it's kind of making me depressed. Saying no buying things I want, saying no to invites for fear of going over calories, saying no to food that is offered. So, to make myself feel a little better, I'm going to go out and do a little shopping for stuff…

  • I Completed day 1 of C25k! I tried it twice last week and had to modify it or quit halfway through. I did the whole thing today, only stopping to pause in the middle for a minute. And I hit 10k steps today!
  • I haven't had a scale change in weeks, so I've been trying to find NSV's to keep my spirits up. 1) I can touch my toes! 2) I started couch to 5k, and I couldn't finish the first day, but a couple days later, I finished more than I did before. In fact I did the whole day, but had to adjust the amount of time running halfway…
  • Honestly feeling guilty for have 2, going on 3 weeks at a stall because of giving in to parties and living life. I talked about it with my hubby, and he said we have nothing coming up until Labor day/his birthday, so He encouraged me to let it go and re-focus. So that's my goal this week: focusing on moving forward!
  • A friend had a party last night, I grumbled and grumped all day because it was going to take me off plan. I logged everything today that I remembered, and it put me 400 over maintenance. I did end up having fun, had a little to drink, and it left me feeling so thirsty this morning. I never felt like this before, it's like…
  • I keep hearing how great they are! I did look online at the shoes they offer, and it's more than I'd like to spend but it's worth it to be pain and injury free, and since I'm just starting out, I don't want to do more damage.

I had a green goddess cobb salad instead of…
  • Ok, That makes sense!! I'll have to try it!
  • Salt and some alcohol left me feeling like a desert at about 4 am Sunday morning, I couldn't even drink large amounts of water, i could only sip until I went back to bed. I drank all day and still felt thirsty Monday morning! It was like nothing was enough to offset it. But I woke up Tuesday feeling normal and my weight…
  • This is has been a tough week for me. So The scale went way up after the 2 parties I went to, and I didn't go crazy with calories. I know it was some dehydration and high sodium issues. it's taken all week to fall back down to where I was last Thursday. It's also my TOM, so that isn't helping and this week is a wash. I…
  • Scale is up, but it's also my TOM. Being a little dehydrated doesn't help either. I only had 6 or 7 jello shots yesterday, but they were doubles, so I'm paying for it today. My mouth is soooo dry. I think I did well food wise at the party at least!
  • Thank you! I did enjoy the party. :) I wore a flirty dress I bought last month (it's looser!) and leggings underneath in a smaller size. My inlaws really outdid themselves this year. They always do this huge fireworks display, rumor has it they spent 3 grand this year. You could tell! It lasted an hour! I had one plate of…
  • I was able to buy a size down in leggings at the store! Being so overweight, I only had 2 pairs and only wear them under dresses, and neither were black, and I needed black to wear under a new dress. The dress is more loose than when I bought it last month, I probably could have bought down a size there too. I signed up…
  • I will go with a fruit/ veg serving goal. I put time in at the gym and the garden today to offset the party I'm going to tonight. I refuse to log or feel guilty tonight, its the only time of year i eat Jello shots. Mindful eating is my plan.
