20 pounds gone since February 1st and 21 to go to Onederland. My goal is to be there by my birthday in November. That gives me 6 months, or roughly a pound a week.

25 to go to 199. No weight loss this week. I ate too much!!! Gotta get back on track...

I have a long time habit of beginning my "eating day" around 3-4pm. I've been doing this since childhood, you know, coming home from school and having an after school snack. And I've gained and lost tremendous amounts of weight in the past 40-50 years! Now I'm finding that after supper, (because I'm being careful about…

Motorcyclecam...that's our awesome God at work!

I'm watching carbs, fats and sodium because I refuse to be put on metformin, a statin and lisinopril. I currently take one medication only, and only because it keeps me alive. I'd like to think that with healthier choices, I can keep it that way! I'm due for labs shortly, and I've been tracking since 2/1, so I'm hoping to…

Yippee! I finally broke the 10 pound barrier!

Marilyn, Not so relaxing day here! I made roast leg of lamb with potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots and asparagus. I also made a pot of chicken soup and sweet potato jerky for the pups. I changed the bed linens, flipped the mattress (not an easy feat all alone), and did laundry. Then I went grocery shopping for my mother in…

I took a walk today with my pups at a craft fair. The little one needed to be socialized, and all 3 of us need the exercise. Right now, they're both passed out on my lap. It's a great day!

Mhampton52 I just tried to add you as a friend. Let me know if it worked! I have no idea what I'm doing, just searched and played around til something happened! LOL!

I'm in the same boat, but it's not Noah's ark! I'm 59 and have about 60-70 pounds to lose. I've been doing this since 2/1 and have lost 9 pounds. I'm not an exerciser due to chronic back pain. But I'm here logging in daily! I don't know how to add friends, but you're more than welcome to add me!

Her name is Anaya which means "Blessed of God".

My new motivation...

How is everyone doing today? It's a beautiful evening here. Overcast, so no spectacular sunset tonight, but the temperature is perfect. Praise God for His blessings!

Idk how to add people, so you'll need to do the adding!

One day at a time. This is a life change, not just a weight loss diet.

You're lucky to have lost 21 pounds on 1200 cal/day. I actually GAINED weight on 1200 cal/day and had to limit my intake to 1000 cal/day. I measure and weigh, watch my carbs, fats and sodium. I've lost 6 pounds since 2/1. I'm very sedentary, chained to my computer for work 10 hours a day, then dinner and bed shortly after…

1. Florida 2. Work at home as a Nurse Case Manager for an insurance company 3. About 40 years in various aspects from CNA to LPN to ADRN to BSN (finally) and management (supervisor). 4. Too many to count! There have been many special moments with many special patients. I've worked long term care, home health, hospice,…

I quit soda completely, but now I'm drinking about a 1/2 gallon of Crystal Light a day because I don't like plain water. I do however, make a gallon from one 1/2 gallon packet, so it's not as strong/sweet. I'm not so sure it's any better health wise, though!

I've been using a cucumber and dill Greek Yogurt dip called Tzatziki instead of mayo both as a spread and as a mix in (like with tuna, chicken, eggs) to make salads.

I'm sedentary too. Chained to my desk 8-10 hours/day for work. Started a month ago and gained weight on 1200 cal/day, so dropped to 1000 cal/day. Lost 6 pounds in 30 days. Got a loooong way to go, but I'll get there!

35 to go to 199. I can't believe I'm admitting this to strangers, but I need the support, motivation and accountability. Been doing MFP for a month and have lost 6 pounds. I started off at 1200 cal/day, but actually GAINED weight, so I dropped down to 1000 cal/day.
