  • There's a new show that starts in the US tomorrow called something like "My Diet is Better than Yours." It will be on ABC. It has to do with people loosing weight at home while still going to work and daily life. There are several coaches and if you don't like the way your coach does things you can "fire" them and get a…
  • It feels so good to be past all of those holiday gatherings and get back to "normal." It's so much easier when I can plan what I'm going to eat and have some control over it! I had one bad day last week, and ended up eating at (or a little less than) maintenance just for one day....and the scale said I had gained almost 4…
  • Height 5'9" HW 296 (11/29/15) SW for challenge 282.4 (12/23/15) CW 280 (1/2/16) GW for challenge 252 Ultimate goal (to start with atleast) 180 pounds I had a bogus weight yesterday (I knew it was abnormally high because of what I ate the day before, and I knew I hadn't eat enough to gain even a pound, let alone over 3) so…
  • @Katab4 and @quiarga Welcome! Anyone's welcome to join! I think it's been a little quiet here because of the holidays, but hopefully will pick back up. I am planning on posting my progress on here Friday when I officially weigh in. I've been trending down, but went up a little today for no reason, so hopefully those bogus…
  • That one's my favorite :smiley: I can just picture certain people's faces now. Bentley is adorable!! (and she'll be a good excuse to go for more walks when it gets warmer, so win win) I have the fitbit FLEX, but want the CHARGER. I'm going to try to convince my husband to let me get it when I reach 70 pounds down (or…
  • Go @DiracDrynx! This time of year comes with extra temptations, so you should feel proud reaching your goal!
  • Great idea! Height 5'9" SW 296 SW for challenge 282.4 GW for challenge 252 Ultimate goal (to start with atleast) 180 pounds
  • Thanks for the welcome @ShyCush6 :smile: Just think, only another 10ish days and it will be 2016 and we will have made it through the holidays!! Sounds like everyone's staying on point with either their eating or exercise, and 1 out of 2 this time of year isn't bad. Eating healthy/staying in my calorie range has been easy…
  • Some rewards I plan to use: hour massage at a spa, cute boots, 5k, hair makeover, garmin watch, upgrade my fitbit, take a day off work for some "me" time (and not feel guilty), take a weekend trip somewhere (to visit family in a nearby state, or go to a local attraction). When I hit maintenance I may use the 5k/10k and…
  • They either go to waist or waste if they aren't factored into your calorie allotment. I have a coworker who's a size 8 who does the same thing. That might be something I'm going to have to be ok with too (eat some if appropriate and then toss so I don't snack on them later)
  • @roxannaracquel I hear ya! Oh how that sounds like me (only without the kids. Just a husband). Here is how I've made it work for me so far by making food quick and easy (hopefully one of these will be helpful). Sorry, this might get a little long --I use bag liners in my crockpot so clean up is minimal --I take time when I…
  • #1 Up for a job promotion and would much rather be giving presentations throughout the state at a healthy weight. #2 Plus the closet full of smaller clothes that are way cuter than what I was able to wear at a large size is a fun incentive #3 not going to get any younger and I want to decrease my chances of having medical…
  • Survived a potluck today, and did great with my choices! Also realized the black pants I've been wearing to work are too big in the legs now. Yay for my first NSV!
  • Way to go! Another pound closed to your goal! People are starting to bring in mounds of cookies, pastries and other goodies because of the upcoming holidays. So far so good with sticking to the plan. I was extra hungry at lunch but thankfully I had healthy things to munch on in my drawer, and my mind never went to those…
  • Welcome @got2rockit ! The more the merrier! The scale was still going down as of this morning, and I'm feeling better each day. I wasn't one to drink hardly any water before this, but I now get a minimum of 8 glasses a day, and I think that makes a huge difference in how I feel.
  • Wow, 24,000 steps is great! Today's a new day, and another chance to get our food choices back on point
  • I'd love to join too. I'm new to MAP and this seems like a friendly, motivated and helpful group! I am 32 years old and have between 120-140 pounds to loose. 8 gone so far!! Soccerdawg71. I lost 10 my first week back then gained 2 the next because of the time of the month, but then have dropped a bunch in the last couple…
