Congratulations. 17 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. It is wonderful, be proud of yourself. If you ever doubt how great it is, go to the grocery store and pick up a bag of dog food that weighs 15-20 pounds. Walk around the store with it. That is what you used to walk around all day with.

Good morning all. @Kenda2427 You are doing amazing. Stay strong. Running in the heat is amazing. Well I didn't do so great yesterday, but I am trying again. I started a new work schedule and it is messing with me. One good thing I did get 8 hours of sleep last night. Yesterday's Goals: Stay green no suck luck 15000 steps…

@HGSmith0920 I used to be with a gamer guy. He loved it when he was home alone. No one bugging him, he could cuss up a storm, pig out and game until he couldn't keep his eyes open. Don't feel guilty for your gym time. @evamutt Grats on the garage sale find. @Rachel0778 Don't be too hard on yourself. I am envious of your…

I am going the wrong way now for 2 weeks. I think I gained back all the weight I lost. I have been really depressed. I don't know why, or what triggered it. I am hoping I snap out of it soon. I really don't want to go to the doctors for medicine. I have found that the side effects just aren't worth the mild improvement I…

@clicketykeys I know how that goes, and some of the phlebotomist are idiots. My veins in my right arm like to roll, my left arm is so much easier to draw blood from. About a year ago, I had to go to the ER, and they wanted blood. I told the nurse my right arm was bad. He argued with me and insisted on doing it on this arm.…

Good morning my beautiful flowers. @lilymay2 They are calling for spring showers all week. Luckily, I love the rain. This weekend my niece graduated school, and my big sister (Best friend) came into town for the weekend. I was so busy partying and enjoying family time, my food and exercise went out the window. I am okay…

You guys are doing so wonderful. Sorry, I haven't had much time to check in. Today is going to be a brief one too. Still eating horribly. My scale is fluctuating by 8 pounds in the course of a half hour. I had my lowest weight to date. So I stepped on the scale later and it had me gaining 8 pounds from my low. I think I am…

We are about to have 3-4 days of rain/snow and our yard desperately needed to be mowed. I was able to quickly mow it before the rain came. I did it in about half the time it took me to do last year, and I wasn't out of breath or tired. I have now lost more than my 8 year old son weighs. A stranger at my kids school,…

It was nice to hear from everyone. Sorry another quick post and then back to work. They dropped 3-4 projects they want done this week. My boss agreed to let me go home 2 hours early on Friday, but I have to work on Saturday so I don't get behind. I have already been working through my lunches to make up for the lost time.…

@lpeltenburg Good job having a plan for those crazy busy days! Your body will give it up and soon. Won't that be nice to have a loss instead of a gain. Keep up the good work. Yesterday was an alright day. Got most of my goals. I didn't win the competition. I really didn't think I would but still disappointing none the…

Just a quick stop to say hello and vent. I asked my boss last Friday if I could get off 2 hours early this coming Friday for my niece's graduation. I still haven't heard. Plus they are giving me all the projects to do, and I have been working very hard for the last few weeks to get them done. My boss is putting me back on…

@evamutt Thank you for the encouragement. I hadn’t really planned on giving up on everything, just felt like I wondered if it was worth it. I know it is. I felt much better after I did my weigh in last night. Nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy your time without kids. They aren’t yours, and I am sure you are there when…
-
@TerriRichardson112 Great job keeping up with your goals. More than not is awesome. I had to take a day off for me knee as well. @mari_moulin Glad baby is feeling better. I cried when I had to cut my sons curls. They never grew back. But, I understand. Can't have them going nuts just to be cute. @2020pinktogo Some people…

@racehl0778 You should be proud of yourself! Great job and sounds like a lot of fun.
-
@bluepoppies777 Hope your hubby had a great birthday, and that you had a wonderful Mom’s day. Are you getting motivated yet? @evamutt I hope you got in some much needed relaxation this weekend. Happy Mom’s day. @cliketykeys oh my! That is rough. You must be an extra special angel put on Earth. It has to be hard to deal…

@2020pinktogo hugs. Hang in there. I think you need to plan yourself a nap.

1. Looked at a picture of me from 3 years ago. I am amazed at my progress. I never realized how big I truly was and how unhealthy I looked. In comparison, I look fantastic. 2. My BF says a guy was checking me out. (Not sure if he was imagining this or not.) 3. Was told my roller skating has improved a lot, and was given a…

@fitphoenix Sounds like a fun convention. I hope you enjoy it tremendously. So this past week I have had an okay week with goals. Not great, not bad. Yesterday I had grand plans to get things done. Well my meeting went longer, and ended up with more work, so no lunch walk, not as good food choice. Then traffic was yucky…

They adjusted the time for where we started in the wave. So I rechecked my official time, and I beat it by 8 minutes and 46 seconds. This made me so happy, I almost cried.
-
@rachel0778 I love the variety of exercise and activities you have planned. Glad your weekend out won't be as stressful as you were thinking it was going to be. @HGSmith0920 They would have been tears of joy and happiness. I am a big baby, I cry all the time. Thanks for the advice about FB. I will keep it in mind.…

@kenda2427 I am sorry about the sad news. May you enjoy your time with her, and may she be comfortable, and know how loved she is. @MonicaA2013 I blame it all on ToM this week, plus our weather is being wonky (not unusual for May.) @2020pinktogo I hate dentist appointments no matter what time of the day it is. @fitphoenix…

I have to share! I just got my official time for my 7k on Saturday. (They hadn't adjusted our times for where we started in the wave yet.) I am down 8 minutes and 46 seconds! I am so happy, and excited I want to cry.
-
1. Saturday I did my second 7K (4,2 miles) ever. I was really nervous as this one was 3000 feet higher in elevation, in the foothills of CO (read lots of hills.) I beat my time by 3 minutes. The first time I did this I cried, this time, I had tears in my eyes when I found out I beat my time. I didn't expect it. I even…
-
@bluepoppies777 It is good to see you. I was worrying about you and @shycush6. Sometimes giving yourself a break is very rejuvenating. Focusing on your health instead of weight loss is a great way to make progress as well. I am excited for summer to be here as well. (For the first time in forever.) @hgsmith0920 Your hubby…
-
@fitphoenix It does seem pretty quiet around MFP lately. I hope it picks up a little. @2020pinktogo Great job on the lunch exercise. A year or so ago, I would have been very proud of myself for walking to any store and back, even if I didn't know I was undoing it all with calories. Good job keeping comments to yourself.…
-
@melaniedscott You are amazing, always helping the in laws out. For your scalloped potatoes I would by the box and do it that way. (I am lazy.) The 7k is a football thing, out greatest QB, and now GM of our pro team was #7. It is for the teams charity. They normally do one a year. This year they expanded to do 3 in…
-
@RejsGirl Glad you have someone to go with you. Good luck. Remember when your body gets sick, it is a sign you need to rest. It is one of the bodies way of forcing you to take time for it. Well I only did meh on my goals yesterday, but I stayed home from work, so not too bad. Yesterday's Goals 15000 steps Nope, 14500 (So…

Just a quick stop in. Had a pretty good weekend. Had a blast doing my 7k. The drive there and back was gorgeous. The 7k was in this smallish town. High elevation 8k feet. Lots of hills. I beat my time by 3 minutes. Super excited, I am expecting the next one will be even better.
