@evamutt sometimes are bodies have a mind of their own. @cayladebra Great job! It is alright to indulge once in awhile. One of the ways it makes this easier to do. I know I Had a big piece of yummy chocolate cake for my daughter's 18th birthday. I enjoyed the heck out of it. @rachel0778 It was pretty low key. We did her…

@evamutt I get shaky when I don't eat on a regular basis. So I completely understand the wanting to eat asap. I have actually found if I eat a few pieces of candy, and wait about 5-10 minutes the shakes will go away, and I can then eat something normal. The quick sugar helps get rid of the shakes, and usually gives me time…

I started circuit training. I have a lot of room for improvement. (nice way of saying I am weak.) Years of inactivity will do that to you.

I am in! So far I have lost 58 pounds, gained 14 back. Since June of 2016. I haven't given up yet, just finding it hard to stay on track. Hoping this will help keep me accountable.

@evamutt Great point! Some times just making it through the day is accomplishment in and of itself! Thank you for the reminder. @janetay01 Hope he feels better soon. Good thoughts your way. @rachel0778 Thanks. That is only the second time I have done it. I would like to make it a weekly thing. Sounds like you have a really…

I recently set a goal to reach 1.5 Million steps before the end of the year. Stretch goal is 2 million steps. So for the month of October I need a half million to reach the 1.5 or 666,667 to reach 2 million. I think I can do it.

I will be trying for round two!

@kmshover Welcome, this is a great thread. I love the people who post. It helps so much to have someone to vent to and encourage. @cayladebra Depending on the equipment you want, you can get a lot of stuff at Wal-mart/Target, a used sports equipment store, garage sales, thrift stores, Craig's list. Or you can even use…

@mmull3062 Great Job!

@cayladebra You can do this. Janetay is right about the measurements too. 1x a month measure yourself and see how you are improving. Also, if you are doing any kind of strength training, your body will change, but your weight might stay the same. @evamutt I am glad nothing is seriously wrong, and it is just a matter of…

@cayladebra There are numerous reasons that you are showing a weight gain. It is normal for weight to fluctuate a couple of pounds in any given day. First you are a woman. As you go through your menstrual cycle you will retain water in week 2 and during your period. Second if you have added in any strenuous exercise you…

@gymprincess1234 Slow but sure! You will get back to where you were hang in there. @HGSmith0920 Welcome back from vacation. Time to get back on the wagon. @rachel0778. Good job on getting back on track. Well hopefully the banks have learned their lesson and aren't making ridiculous home loans. I ended up doing alright.…

@evamutt what a cute dog. The animal place is so lucky to have you volunteer. You can tell you clearly love it there. 8 pounds to goal is awesome! Great job. @rachel0778 Great job getting back on track. I am still trying to get there. This last weekend was a total bust. I was about 1400 calories over for my weekend total.…

@cboutin89 Welcome! And good luck on your journey. Sounds like you are off to a great start. @gymprincess1234 Oh my! You are having a rough time.

Hey guys. Sorry for the sporadic posts. I have been reading, but have been feeling very anti-social. I was sick with the beginning of a cold all week. It never quite came to fruition, but still felt yucky. Started feeling better on Monday. Well now I feel like crap again, running a fever, runny nose, and an achy body. Keep…

@cayladebra Great job on the loss! 1 pop won't hurt. Keep up the good work. @janetay01 My oldest daughter started waking up in the middle of the night every night when she was 3 years old. I took her to the doctors, he recommend I wake her up after she had been sleeping for 90 minutes and then let her go back to sleep.…

@HGSmith0920 Feel better soon. @Evamutt I am glad your kids will help you out if necessary. Must mean you did a great job raising them. @rachel0778 Sounds like a great weekend. Glad you are settling down with the home buying. I totally agree, nothing sexier than a man working/cleaning. @rachelbachel32 Have fun getting your…

@evamutt You already do so much work with your volunteer work, no wonder you are tired. I wonder if you could find a part time job at a pet store like Petsmart or something like that. @gymprincess1234 Woo hoo for eyesight, internet and a weeks worth of rest! Feel better and hang in there. @Rachel0778 House buying sucks!…

@cayladebra a half a pound is great. I used to have a hard time planning ahead for meals as well. Over the past year I have gotten better about it. @clicketykeys What grade do you teach? Last year my son was in second grade, and they did no homework unless they didn't complete the work in class. It was so nice. They still…

@janetay01 Thank you for the welcome back. I missed you guys tremendously. Sorry you are having problems with the little guy. One of mine had the same issue. We ended up, every time they would get up in the night, we would take them and put them back in bed. Didn't really say anything to them. Except that they were alright…

Good morning friends! @evamutt Sounds like a good time. I have never even heard of protein fluff. So, I can't help you there. @rachel0778 House hunting is such a big step in life. How is the housing market where you live? Here in CO it is almost impossible. We are in desperate need of more houses. They can't build them…
