@LynneM1980 I used to have a rebounder (small trampoline.) I liked it a lot because I could walk while watching TV. I gave it up because it didn't store well, but now they make them so they fold pretty small! @nittyj5403 you came to the right place for support and friends! welcome! just stick with it. you CAN do it. I, for…

@The_Fat_Optimist So many of us are in that boat, or were! My highest was 293 (and I'm only five foot nothing!) Then I lost fifty pounds...then i gained back forty. Then I lost eighty...then I gained back sixty. Now I've lost thirty, with about another hundred to go. You're not alone!

yay you indeed!

Maybe people feel like it's all been said before? I am here to say I DON'T CARE. say it again! Let us cheer YOU accomplishing that thing--and inspire us to create our own win! Here's mine for today (so far) I didn't go to McDonald's AGAIN. My inner 5yo thought it should be a reward for not going yesterday. XD

a lot of the time, you can add foods to your log by weight. So you can add 1/4 cup of chopped apple, or you can add...number of grams. (full disclosure: I do not do well yet at weighing my food. My roommate kind of took over my food scale for bread-making.) it's a lot more accurate to log by weight, because the size of the…

You got this! Keep going, and your woosh! will come to you! @FushiaKat look how far you've come! You're amazing, and you give me hope. Yikes, @roz0810 It's so unfair how everything just seems to work against us. I did good yesterday. I'm working on celebrating every smart choice. I had yogurt instead of McDonald's for…

This morning I talked myself out of "just hitting McDonald's" on the way to work. I had homemade greek yogurt in my lunch bag, and THAT was what I ate for breakfast. 200 calories instead of 480 for a sausage egg and cheese McMuffin, and maybe even 960, because sometimes they have that sale where you get a 2nd for 21 cents,…

Great job taking care of you!

Last night I was about 200 calories under my limit, and instead of going and finding something to fill that in, I decided that I could just let it be. I've been over more than once this week, so I can come in under once in a while!
-
Welcome, new folks! This is a great group.
-
I stopped weighing myself daily and somehow decided that since it only mattered what I weighed once a week, it probably only mattered what I ate a couple times a week too...that didn't go well. So now I've downloaded and am using the Libra app, so I can weigh in, but watch the TREND not the daily ups and downs.
-
lol, that didn't go well at ALL. I'm going for a mini-goal this month of jump-starting my weight loss. if I can go down five pounds, that will be a good start!

Go you! I am also doing that challenge. I almost chickened out about twenty seven times before it started and now I'm a day behind, but I started with day one yesterday, and shortly found myself doing the three-legged dog pose and thinking "wow!" There were lots of parts I didn't try because I didn't want to fall on my…

@finngirl61 I'm so sorry about your husband. I lost my husband some years ago, but we hadn't been married even ten years. I can't imagine how hard it's been for you. I want you to know I'm cheering you on in EVERY SINGLE TINY step you take to take care of yourself, and I'm thinking of you whether you post or not.…
-
Oh no, @Ginharbe !! I hope you're able to sort things out. As for me--at work, I'm stationed at the front desk with a coworker, but twice a week she goes elsewhere to work undisturbed for a couple hours. In the past I've had a hard time getting my steps (I shoot for a thousand an hour) because crewing the desk alone can be…

That's it! Like how I wanted to go for a walk around the parking lot this a.m. Didn't feel like it, did it anyway--and then went on around the building for good measure. Felt GREAT, and I met an adorable doggo! My journey has been long and slow, but before I started, walking to the far end of the parking lot and straight…

I have been learning PORTIONS in a not-difficult way. In my efforts to eat home-cooked more often, I bought a bunch of glass containers for leftovers and lunches instead of just using whatever (old cottage cheese buckets, lunch meat snap-ons, et cetera.) I know the size of each container, and I've been learning how much is…

Hurray, @kenziestabes ! Well done!

I had to stop weighing every day bc it was dragging me down instead of encouraging me. So my bitty goal is to get 10,000 steps and/or 13/13 of 250 steps an hour (Fitbit goals) every day for the rest of this year. If I do it, I get a glittery heart sticker (bc I'm taking care of my heart!) on my calendar. Stretch goal would…

Hi, @finngirl61!! The new month isn't usually posted until the first day of the month. Are you in a hurry to get out of December? :)
-
Well done, Lisa! I just went for a walk. It shouldn't be a big thing, but I haven't been doing it lately, so by gum, I'm going to celebrate it. I walked down to the park near my house and admired a tree.
-
I'll take that loss! My back has been hurting for a couple days, so I'm rather surprised to be down at all. I usually eat more when I'm sulking or in pain. I do that too! I'm trying so hard to remind myself I can try again *next meal* or next time I eat out, not *now.* Congratulations on Onederland, @goal06082021 !! Mary,…

you're both awesome and inspirational and aspirational, so there. ;)

I really wanted a splurge today, so I went and got a Whopper with Cheese for lunch. But I didn't get fries or onion rings, and I did adjust a bit to fit it into my calorie plan for the day. I know what I'm eating for dinner, and I'm getting my steps, so I won't go over! I can make good choices so I can still enjoy the…

my preferred theory is that people sometimes hit "disagree" by accident while scrolling, and don't see they did so. I'm going to have to try the whipped cream thing. I also love that yogurt, and it IS a great treat.
