Stopped at Walmart on my way to work this morning - had to buy a couple belts ... nice to have my pants getting bigger :) Hoping to get new clothes for my birthday in 2 months and 10 days - want them to be a much smaller size than I would have to get now if I bought some new ones - so belts are my new accessory.

Thankful that I chose to make this life change. I appreciate the support of the MFP community and this group.

Going grocery shopping tonight - must keep this in mind!

Thanks @AlexCarr07 I love your positive attitude... it is infectious and encouraging.

I am going to focus a bit more on what I am eating... going to be able to do the treadmill workout # 4 with the dumbbells and not have to hang on for dear life just to finish it. :)

OK - did not do well this weekend... had lots of snow and really cold temps (like 4 degrees at 8 o'clock in the morning... just made me want to snuggle in).... candy in the house for the grandkids and no motivation... no excuses... get back to it. Gained back everything I had taken off in the last 10 days.

WOOHOO! Way to go!

Sorry Healthy4me4ever... hope your week gets better. Bruhaha007, enjoy some days of rest, take care of yourself. I am still with you. For the challenge 4 weeks in I am down 9.2 # (13.4 total). I am 3 pounds from the weight I have reached twice in the last 9 years and then given up. I am only 5 pounds from the lowest weight…

Happy to say that with the high emotions of last week not only did I survive but I actually lost 3 pounds. Got through a phone call with my older sister with no tears (which never happens) and am feeling strong and ready to face this week. Thanks for all the support last week I really appreciate it. Hope everyone has a…

Hope you get to feeling better.

That sounds delicious. Hope you enjoyed it! Right back at it now

Thanks for that feedback, it is helping... it helps that I love eggs for breakfast also :)

Today is a great day to have a great day! Fridays are fun days...

Thanks for the support! I got through the day... and best of all... I did not gain any weight! I did go to some comfort food (berry pie left from pie day :) )... overall it was a good day - focused on positive memories of times with my dad... talked with my grandkids about him as they never got to meet him... told some…

So this week is one of those emotional times I would have (and did) given up in the past. Yesterday was 6 months from one of the most devastating personal times I have ever encountered... what little self confidence I had was destroyed, trust shattered - my foundation was rocked. I have been recovering from that,…

Happiness was trying on a pair of pants I haven't worn all winter because they were uncomfortably snug and having them not only fit but be a little loose!

I have found that if I eat cereal, cold or hot , for breakfast I seem to be hungry all day. It does not matter what I eat for the rest of the day, my tummy complains to me and begs for food. If I eat eggs instead with some canadian bacon I feel satisfied until lunch and later. Don't know why... and don't know if it is bad…

OK - so I started my own self challenge exactly 1 month ago... day after Valentines I decided that I had only 4 months left til I turn 50 and I did not want to be "fat at fifty". It was time for a change... I know all this weight won't be gone by then but I will have made a good dent in it. One month in and I am down 10.8…

This is one that I need to believe - I have always struggled with body image issues... very confident when it comes to my work life but no self confidence when it comes to my looks. Working on this through this life change process though!

This is week 2 of the 16 week challenge and down 10 pounds - lots to love right there as my hubby would say.
