Good morning! Weigh in day is here! After having my scale sit on idle or bounce back and forth for a few months it was nice to see it move downwards this morning! Sw: 315lbs on 04/01/19 Cw: 214 today's weigh in Gw: 144 or TBD 01/01: 214 01/08: 209.4 01/15 01/22 01/29 This week I really focused on portion control. I have…

🎉 Hello and Happy New Year to you all! I have been on my weight loss journey since April 2019. It has been a roller coaster ride with plenty of ups and downs and turns along the way. I hit a stumbling block recently and became discouraged. I started allowing bad eating habits creep back in and then guilt followed. 2020 was…

Good morning lovely ladies! Oh how I have missed you! I have had a lot going on in the last few months and was feeling overwhelmed and lost. Even though I was logging daily my heart just wasn't in it. I found old eating habits slipping back in and honestly gave into them. Of course that leads to feelings of guilt and then…

@BeUncommon Even 20 plus years I still have moments where I break down if I talk about my dad or think about how terribly sick he was before he passed away. I try to hold on to the good memories. He never got to see me get healthy. But I feel he knows and would be proud of how far I have come in my journey. I am doing this…

@BeUncommon Welcome! I am sorry for your loss of your dad. I lost my dad to lung cancer in 1998. He was only 44 years old. I dont think it's something you ever really get over. Hugs. I found this lovely group in September and have been joining every month since! Some days I just come to read and find inspiration and other…

🌹🐝 Good morning lovely ladies! I just realized as I got caught up on everyone's posts that I never actually posted here Friday. My mind seems so scattered these days! Here are my stats: Sw: 288 April 2019 Cw: 193 Gw: 144 May has come in like a whirlwind. This month I am going to focus on movement. Whether it be formal…

Good morning ladies! I know I have been quiet on here lately but I come here every day to catch up and see how everyone is doing. You all are more inspiring than you know. Today marks my 1 year anniversary using MFP and as I reflect on how far I have come and how far I still have to go. I just wanted to say thank you for…

It wouldn't let me edit my post so I will just add that I have lost 30% of my starting body weight! When I started my journey last April I would have never dreamed this was possible. The overall number I have to lose was (and still is) overwhelming that I have to focus on small goals. On to the next 10%. Have a great day!!

Happy April 1st Ladies!! I am standing here in my bathroom with tears running down my face, tears of joy!! I stepped on my scale for Day 1 weigh in and I am officially in Onderland!! Its probably been 15 years since I have seen any number that started with a 1!! I stepped on my scale 4 times just to make sure the number…

Saturday weigh in! I cannot believe one more week and we will be done with February. I am really looking for to Spring and warmer weather!! SW: 288 4/19 CW: 211.1 GW: 144?

@bidingmytime, I also prefer salty, savory over sweet! I can pass a sweet buffet without thinking twice. Put me in front of a table of snacks, portion control becomes nonexistent. Well it used to. Most days I have a pretty good handle on it. Now catch me around TOM all bets are off. That is the one time I actually crave…

I'm focusing on the next 5 lbs. It will mark a loss of 30% of my starting weight!!

@BrownSugar174 Thank you!♡

Good morning ladies! Doing a little happy dance this morning after my weigh in!! So nice to see the scale move!! SW: 288 4/19 CW: 211.1 GW: 144?

Good morning ladies! So happy to see you all and be a part of this wonderful group! SW: 288 4/19 CW: 211.1 GW: 144? To be determined when I am closer. 2/1: 211.1 2/8: 2/15: 2/22: 2/29: I would love see Onderland by the end of this month but realistically I am aiming to hit it by March. The middle of April will mark a year…

I know the 5 week prediction when you complete your diary is just an estimate,however tonight when I finished my diary it gave me a number I haven't seen probably in 15 years, maybe a little more. It showed 199.4lbs!!! This was so inspiring just to see it is on the horizon. After coming a good distance on my journey and…

@speyerj I love a tortilla but I dont like using too many calories on them. I found these at Walmart. They are 100% wheat with flaxseed. Only 50 calories per serving and they are good on fiber and low in sugars. Only thing is they need to be refrigerated after opening. I think you would like if you haven't tried them!!

@majesticdj Welcome! You have great goals and I have no doubt you will meet them! You have found a wonderful group of ladies in this thread! I have been on my journey for nine months and I still have to remind myself occasionally to have patience. This is not a sprint but a marathon. I didn't get this way over night and it…

Good morning! It's weigh in Wednesday! Here are the numbers: SW: 288 ( April 2019) CW: 216.3 GW: 144?

I have been able to get in my water ever day and also I did push to do…

Good morning lovelies! I hope that whatever your plans are for today, I hope you have a great day! I'm heading to work and since I woke up with a sinus headache not really looking forward to it. Today is 270 days of my journey and logging consistently on MFP. For me that is exciting. Usually I would have given up long…

@Rebeckah11 Welcome! You have great goals and have come to a great place for motivation and support!! I have no doubt you'll reach your October goal before your trip to Paris! How exciting! @theleadmare Way to go on your losses so far! I hope that your muscle spasm has eased up! Sometimes warm therapy will help get blood…
