Have my friends moved to a new similar thread? Let me know

Finally got back into community but looks like this thread has ended. Thanks to those on here that have helped me, let me know if there is a new similar thread

How is everyone doing? Not much activity here for September. I’m still hanging in there, loss has slowed down and seems it takes a few weeks to drop a bit. Down 45 lbs total since Jan 2, need to get this last 17 lbs off to get to MD goal of 170. By charts, I should be at 150 but right now just working hard to get to 170…

Love the Green Giant frozen riced cauliflower, made a favorite last night. Sautéed shrimp in small amount olive oil, added riced cauliflower and slightly ‘browned’, added two eggs to scramble, teriyaki sauce, diced tomotoes and baby pea pods. Feeds husband and myself and is so delicious and filling. Sometimes I used…

Zuchini casserole with Italian seasoning tomato paste, lean beef, fat free mozzarella cheese. I call it my ‘fake lasagna’, so yummy and low carb/calorie.

I hope to soon, too hard to do a selfie so will get daughter or hubby to take a pic.

Maybe this is what I need to get to my goal by end of 2019, jumping on board. Will I be able to ‘edit’ this same post weekly to update stats? Concerned about the one hour time limit for edits. Starting weight and date with MFP: Date - 01/02/2019. Weight 232 CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: Sept.2: Sept. 9: Sept.16: Sept.23:…

Happy to see this thread still going on. It has helped me on this journey to better health. Thanks @alteredsteve175 for the other group links, I’ll check those out.

Back doing better, but still not ‘normal’ and I’m so cautious to get out and do much as don’t want to bring that pain back on. Determined to get back on track with staying in daily limits, today will be day 3 either at or under daily limit. Again, I just have to focus and plan and then have the willpower to resist the…

Thinking this thread is coming to an end, but that’s ok; as it has helped me and others on this journey. Maybe there is another thread for those of us ‘over 60’????? Think I’ll start looking.

Catching up on threads, as again couldn’t get on Community for a bit. August has been rough for me, but I am maintaining within a pound. Fighting back pain for past week, so activity level way down. Hoping it is just muscle strain from yard work, but go see my back specialist on Wednesday as pain is very similar to what I…

@chefbender5310 You should be able to click on blue hyperlink to their ‘name’ which opens a window, then click on blue hyperlink name again which opens second window where you can then click on the icon for person + which should send a request to the person. I just tried again, and it is not working for me, get to clicking…

@ LyndaBSS I tried sending you a friend request but app wouldn’t work, see if you can send me a request. A few folks from this site have been SO supportive to me on this journey. I’m down 40 lbs since Jan 2. It’s a hard journey, but supportive friends comments can really help out.

Catching up on some posts, seems I don’t get on the community as much as I initially did. Lots of newbies, just know that this app can be of great help on your journey, but ultimately you have to ‘just do it’ to make a choice to eat better and get healthy. It is a hard journey, and I know even when I reach my goal it will…

MRI news was ‘ok’, nothing serious going on, just some issues I was aware of and MD said most likely the additional walking caused a strain (and the pain). If it flares up again, MD is going to delve into checking hip joint. Took a break from the weight lifting, but going to slowly start again next week with focus on areas…

Happy Friday everyone, trying to catch up on your posts over past few weeks. For some reason the community doesn’t always open for me, so I’m a bit sporadic on here. Just ‘keep on keeping on’ as they say. One day or even one hour at a time. June and beginning of July a bit harder for me with all the summer treats available…

Back from vacation and getting on community finally (was having problems with it loading). How is everyone doing? I gained 1 lb but have taken that off plus a few more by really staying in my limits. This weekend I’ll be over, and have already planned for Monday and Tuesday to be deficit days. Prayers requested for my…

Finally getting this to open to read updates and catch up. Had an awesome vacation and tasted lots different things, very happy that I only gained 1 lb as was thinking would be more. Got back on track right away and have dropped a few more lbs, 39 to date since January 2 when started. 23 more pounds to get to next goal of…

Good to catch up on comments on this thread, @AbandondedKSCharger SO very thankful to God that you and your family are ok, the storms this spring have been so bad, and so much flooding. Weekends are hardest for me too, but if we stay on track with exercise M-F taking the weekend off is ok. I’d like to try Yoga again, did…

What was your ‘non-weight loss’ achievement this past week? For me, I DID our fitness center weight machines 2 times this week, today’s visit will be 3 times this week. For someone who has been way too much of a couch potato since last fall (recuperating from 2 surgeries) this was a big goal for me. Now to just keep at it.…

Happy Saturday everyone. Keep on tracking as it DOES WORK, but you have to do it and be honest with yourself. Planning is the key for me, and logging my day out as much as I can as I then know if I have any ‘extra’ calories for treats. Oh and yes, I do plan some yummy snacks as this helps keep me going. I have a sweet…

Not seeing much activity on this thread, hoping everyone still doing ok and working at it. It really is so much harder being ‘older’. I am feeling so much better, able to move around and not get so out of breath. Started some weight training this week, goal is to use 6 machines twice a week, and legs are feeling it today.…

Check-in for this week. Lost .8 pound, total of 30.6 since Jan 2. Four tenths of pound to be at my halfway to goal which is losing 62 pounds. It seems to be getting harder which surprises me since weather getting nicer and I’m getting out moving more than was during Jan-March. I am going to a ‘learn how to use the…

Happy Tuesday friends. How is everyone this week? @AbandondedKSCharger I am at 202 today, getting closer to that first goal of ‘being under 200’ which I am determined to do before June 1. Then I NEVER plan to see my weight start with a 2 again!

Hoping the start of your week is going well everyone. Just remember ‘one day at a time’ and that you can do this. I had a great loss this week, almost halfway to my goal and that is keeping me motivated. Clothes I haven’t worn in years are fitting and even getting lose. Have a family vacation coming up in June and actually…

Two hard weekend days, out with family, out with friends. Tried to make good choices but went over both days. So tomorrow am, back to grindstone to really watch it. So far on this journey, if I really stay within or a bit under my Mon-Fri calories the few extras on the weekend days have not been a deterrent. It is a…

@AbandondedKSCharger and @8purplesnails and @XOX_LOTSA_XOX I hear you, had a rough two weeks but got back on track. Grandkids egg hunt was mostly non-chocolate this year to avoid the temptation for me. I do allow myself some chocolate once in awhile and just fit it into my plan. Sometimes those single Hershey kisses…

@mmereth YES, you have to enjoy those precious moments and splurge once in awhile, just cut back the next few days. Kids grow up too fast, so savor every opportunity to have some quality time with them. Mom of 3 all grown and married, and blessed me with 7 grands. But oh, how I’d love to go back just one day. Cherished…

Thanks to all of those on this thread for your encouragement on this journey. It sure is harder the older we get, but it IS DOABLE. I had a few weeks where scale wasn’t budging, but then yesterday finally had a nice loss again. Down 28 lbs since Jan 2 using MFP; and seeing the daily notes from my ‘friends’ really helps.…

Happy Easter everyone (tomorrow), but not sure I’ll have time to post so doing a day early. Wishing you all a great week staying on track and logging everything. It sure gets hard, but that daily commitment is what keeps you going (sometimes hourly committment). I’ve struggled a bit these past few weeks, and the scale is…
