Smiphette, Great attitude! A TBI can really wreak havoc on your life. Good to see you're working through that.

Quzz, How is the new job? Congrats on being unafraid to move your life in a different direction! Mimi

Hang in there, Lottie. I've been MIA for a while. Tomorrow is always an opportunity for a better day! Thinking of you and your struggles.

I have not updated in a while. I hit the 15 POUND WEIGHT LOSS mark! Woohoo! I do not know what happened to March. Poof! It's gone. I've been at this for 3 months now. There have been ups and downs in March. What I did right: workout at least 3X per week, login to MFP every day, and generally, stay on track with my…

FIRST 10 POUNDS GONE. It took 8 weeks. My weight loss has certainly not been linear. I always gain during my cycle, and then about 4-5 days after, I have a "large" loss, i.e. 1.5+ lbs. So, I really only see weight loss during 2.5 weeks each month. I was up a few lbs after Vegas last month. The following week, my cycle…

Sorry, Lottie. It's tough when we try to keep control of things we can without seeing the results. A loss of weight is a loss. I certainly understand frustration without seeing a number to equal your efforts. Keep at it! Overall, the trend is the scale is moving down. Sucks about your taxes. Don't waste any of your energy…

Great job! Hope the nice weather stays!

Positive vibes!

Returned from Vegas yesterday. I knew I would indulge in eating, drinking, gambling, and shopping. So, the trip was a success! Through the highs and lows, I only lost $20 net gambling. I only spent $300 shopping. Enjoyed some fabulous food, drinks and entertainment. The warm, sunny days with friends were exactly what I…

Super Bowl. My husband made many treats, but they were all a "skinny" version. Regardless, I went over my calorie goal. Not too badly, and I enjoyed every bite! Back on track today. Plus, I completed several items on my To Do list this weekend. I'm not weighing myself every day. The fluctuations cause my attitude toward…

Great work!

Great job, Mike!

Last night, I had my first glass of wine in over 30 days. Actually, two glasses. Well, if we're getting technical FOUR servings. 3.5 oz is a serving? Hahahaha. The wine was divine. It's definitely something I can't drink every day. I don't want to derail my progress. Wine has played a significant role in my weight gain…

Guardians of the Galaxy? My son always wants jam to that soundtrack before his basketball games! Hope your knees get feeling better, and you'll be "hooked on a feelin'" of health! ☺️

Lottie, I'm sorry for your loss. That's tough. You can do this! Work through the ups and downs. Take care of yourself. ❤️

Vanity sizing is really bad in the U.S. We think our waists are 2" smaller than they are. That's why we don't realize our true size!

Decided to have family pictures taken tonight. It's been about 6 years. I wanted a "fat" family picture to compare to a "fit" family picture to be taken in several months. I was dreading it, but they turned out nicely. My hair and makeup looked great, and although I wish I weighed less, I love having a picture of my…

@totaldetermination, thank you for the information!

As of today, I have lost 7 lbs in 23 days! That's a good start. A bit faster than I have set, but expect a bigger loss the first month. Why am I craving chocolate? I've had more chocolate in the last 2 weeks than in the prior 6 months. Oh well, as long as I have the calories to spare, mama's gonna eat it!

I'm weighing nearly every day. I'm not gaining any more from the PMS. I think I needed a bit of a minor meltdown to realize it's no big deal. My weight is now just fluctuating 1.5 lbs from day-to-day. I'm focusing on an overall weight loss trend for the month (that's what I'm telling myself). I think I've only gone over my…

You look great! You really took control of your health. One day at a time. Congrats!

Great job! Progress is moving forward no matter the obstacles. Seems you're doing very well with that.

Feeling a bit down today. I'm a bit overwhelmed with work. I need to set mini goals to power through my obligations these next three weeks. Usually, I get through these times with some comfort eating and plenty of wine. The only movement on the scale is up a pound or two or three or back down a pound. No weight loss this…

Good job! I have only been logging for about 3 weeks. I bought a digital scale over a week ago, and it helps to make sure I am eating the correct amounts of food.

Confidence is beautiful! I look forward to following your journey!

We are at similar starting weight. I look forward to following your progress!

Congratulations! I look forward to reading about your keys to maintenance. I'm just starting my weight loss, but maintenance is key once I reach my goal!

Feel free to add me. Looking for more moti-pals (motivational friends). 42 yo F, 65ish lbs to lose. I would like friends at all stages of weight loss.
