Username @LeahIsALoser Weigh in day: Friday PW: 148.0 CW: 146.0 - 2.0 lbs My body is liking round numbers the past couple weeks. It makes the math easier, lol. :) @micaroo4 I'm so sorry about your kitty. It's so hard to lose them, especially after they've been such a huge part of your life for so long. @TeresaW1020 I…

Hi everyone. Things are going well! I have lost 12 pounds so far. Sticking to the gluten free, low sugar thing --eating nutritiously and walking between 5,000-12,000 steps a day (averaging around 7,000). Trying to get to a place where I am consistently walking an average of 10,000 steps a day despite my busy work schedule.…

And yes, add away! I don't always get notifications so don't sweat it if it takes a few days for me to accept!

Oh wow! This blew up on me and I didn't even know it! I am headed in to work right now but will update you all later. Things are going great!!

Username: LeahIsALoser Weigh in day: Friday PW: 250.8 CW: 248.0 Down 2.8 from last Friday. Congrats to everyone for the losses and non-scale victories this week and to everyone who posted gains, you're sticking to the challenge and staying accountable and that's a big part of the mental battle--kudos to you as well! In the…

@trooworld I love Daisy so much!!! Someone needs to write a series of books about her or make a movie or something.

Check in! Username: LeahIsALoser Weigh in day: Friday PW: 257 CW: 250.8 Beginners luck (and water weight) but it is very encouraging! The key will be sticking with it when the weigh-ins aren't so exciting... That's where I have really struggled in the past and I don't want to get caught in that trap again. They say…

Maybe I should have said "Let's kick the butt of our fat" but it wasn't as catchy.... Anyway, please don't go kicking any fat butts on my advisement.

Hello, everyone! My name is Leah and I'm 39, from Ontario, Canada. I'm a support worker with a teenage son and two feline furbabies on a journey to better health before I hit 40. I'm happy to be a part of this team and have been enjoying following along with your posts. I'm pretty determined to meet my goals so I am likely…

@trooworld Toe beans! That's what I call them, too! They literally look like little pink beans! I want to kiss them but then I stop myself and remember that he digs in the cat box with those little toe beans... Thank you for your kind words and birthday wishes! I have suspected I am allergic to exercise for a long time.…

The gray and white one on my shoulder giving me kitty kisses is Luna ( sorry about my messy table... Clearly I need to organize my life in more ways than one...) The orange tabby is Lawrence. They are the coolest cats. Luna is the embodiment of love. Lawrence is a bad boy with a heart of gold... Hmmmm, sounds like a…

@Katmary71 Thank you so much for the warm welcome! You're very kind! I actually have thought about keeping a diary/blog and it would likely be a helpful tool to keep me on track as well. That was inconsiderate of me not to post my fur babies! Haha. What was I thinking?? I'll attach some pics now ;) I'm happy you got to get…

Fatty liver club! I'm glad you are working to do something about it. I wasn't as motivated as you when I found out I was developing it 10+ years ago so you have that going for you which is awesome. I admire that this was a wakeup call for you and you're actually doing something about it right away unlike me. I wish you…

Hi everyone! I just spent the past hour or so reading your posts and I am inspired seeing the way you support one another through losses and gains, good times as well as hard times. It's wonderful to witness and I'm excited to be a part of it. My name is Leah. I'm a Developmental Service Worker in Ontario, Canada. I have a…

Thank you!

This looks fun and motivating. Please count me in! MFP USER NAME: @LeahIsALoser CHOSEN WEIGH-IN DAY: Friday CURRENT WEIGHT: 260.2 lbs ORIGINAL STARTING WEIGHT (highest weight ever) : 274 No team preference. Thanks in advance!

This is inspiring to see! You seem to have maintained your loss from long ago and even lost a bit more and that's wonderful! I'm back on MFP and back on the road to better health after regaining much of the weight I lost previously, but I feel good about things this time. You look like you are resolved to make a positive…

Apologies if I'm responding in a technically unpractical way with the quote, haha. I'm not very savvy that way. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and helpful response! I'm 5'8" also! But 260.2 pounds... So almost twice your weight. 80 pounds would bring me to a little over 180 this time next…

I'm pretty dedicated when I apply myself and I'm just starting a fit-by-40 journey to lose 80+ pounds. My plan is to avoid wheat/processed foods and to fast intermittently. Would love to have you for a MFP friend.

I see what you did there... :tongue:

Very well said. This world would be an infinitely more peaceful place if everyone shared this view.

I think we can all agree on that! Haha.

Writing this and about to start a new episode of "Black Mirror"! Also, laundry.

Takcegm looks like an alright dude. Nice!

Thank you, Cassandra!

44 pounds is a huge accomplishment! I know you can make it to your goals!

You're welcome! Best of luck to both of you (we all know luck doesn't really factor in, though; it's WORK)!

Thank you!
