  • Debating too. Look very similar so not sure if it's worth the upgrade. I'm not having any issues with the 2.
  • 1 week down and starting to get back into the exercise and calorie counting routine again. Strong start but need to work on getting all my water in. Starting weight: 184.6 Jan. 1 Goal weight: 135 Current weight: 183.0 Jan. 8 Total weight lost: 1.6lbs
  • Starting weight: 185 Goal weight: 135 Current weight: 182 Total weight lost: 3lbs This week's successes: got my walking in 3/5 days this week This week's challenges: water!! Its too cold to drink cold water. Might need to get some tea to keep me warm
  • Someone who is smart. Sounds crazy, but I have a thing for guys who know technical stuff. Not technology but inductors, capacitors, resonance frequencies... I don't know why but power electronics is sexy.
  • I'm in. Lost 50lbs in a year but unfortunately gained back 15. Heres to a new challenge and new motivations!! Starting weight: 185 Goal weight: 135 Current weight: 184.6 Total weight lost: .4 This week's successes: starting fresh This week's challenges: holiday treats still linger...
  • My goal is 50lbs. Did it within a year before so I think I can do it again. But ultimate goal is to lose 70lbs. Gotta save a goal for next year though, right ;)
  • Ok, change this to 3 weekends. This weekend looks like water from both ends though :( Thats new since haven't been puking much the last 2 times. Definitely seeing black stars and close to fainting a couple times already. I'm going to try to get to the walkin tomorrow to get checked out. This is brutal. I'm afraid of food…
  • I lost 20lbs in 3 months but it was right off the bat when I went from eating who knows how many calories to being really strick at 1200 and exercisin daily. Now I'm almost down 50lbs/1 year and it's coming off more like 1/2 lb/week.
  • HA!!! That's not funny. Always a chance I guess since the gas pains are so bad it feels like kicks. But very unlikely, not impossible though.
  • Stay safe. Thinking of you up here in Wisconsin :(
  • Lame, but I want to see and touch a palm tree. (Basically go somewhere warm and tropical and get out of Wisconsin) Family vacations as a kid we stayed in the northern part of the United States. My parents had a thing about Canada, Yellowstone or Glacier but never anywhere warm and sunny. I guess middle of summer we always…
  • My husband had a massive heart attack at 32. 100% and 99% blockage in the 2 main arteries. While he is 180lbs, 5'11" but very active he would be the last person you would expect to have 3 heart attacks and need 4 stents and wear the Zoll Lifevest for 2 months. This was a real wakeup call since we have 3 kids at home, one…
  • 5'4" from Wisconsin SW: 220.6 CW: 178.6 GW: 110
  • I've lost 40+ and my goal is to lose the last 60-70 I originally set out to lose. Feel free to add me. Almost to my 1 year mark using MFP.
  • Goal is 110lbs ultimately. 40 down, 70 to go.
  • Same here. Lost about 35lbs and I've been stuck for the last 3 months. I still have 60 left to go :(
  • I don't have time for a gym. Nearest ones are a 1/2 hour drive and I have 3 kids 2, 4, and 6 at home. My workouts are hitting the treadmill when the kids are asleep.
  • Yep, small town. I'm in engineering so there aren't many women here to be friends with. The only people i talk to about non work stuff are the 50+ year olds and im going to miss them. Actually switching jobs in a week to a bigger company in a bigger city so hopefully I can make friends there. At 32 I thought I would have…
  • Yes, he doesn't care. He thinks hanging out with his family is a big enough social group. And I'm the one watching the kids on the weekends. Once a month or so I might get an afternoon to myself.
  • I confess I have no friends in real life. It's just me, the hubby, his family and my kids. My only friend is my ex from 15 years ago (we were just in the friend zone - didn't even hug) but hubby is incredibly jealous so we don't get to hang out. I am very lonely especially since hubby and I have grown apart and he works…
  • Highest: 220.6 Lowest: not sure. Lowest I can remember was 160. Current: 183 Goal: Ultimate is 115, but right now working on 175 or being in the "overweight" range.
  • My goal is also 100lbs. I started Sept. 26, 2016 at 220.6 and I'm down to 183 as of this morning. 7 months and 37.6lbs lost. Ive missed my targets this year (did great from Oct-Jan) but I've reset them and going from there. Weight loss started at 2lbs a week the first 12 weeks, then I must have hit a block since the next…
  • Ok, going for my drug test over lunch then giving my notice to the engineering manager. What can I expect after that? Will they let me work 2 weeks or will that be it? I know it depends on company but anyone been told just to leave?
  • Haven't gotten anything yet. I'm still a year away but since we're more than likely buying used, whatever we get is on the road right now :) Right now our list includes Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, Dodge Journey or Durango, Hyundai Santa Fe or Tuscan, Nissan Pathfinder or Rogue or Toyota Highlander. I need to…
  • Ha!!! I had one while the deer slayer (my impala that hit 3 deer in a year) was getting fixed. LOVED it!! The room, the stow n'go (kids watched the fireworks after a movie camping out in the back of the van) the sliding doors, the videos for the kids, but man, I was "that mom". Would love a van except for the pickup and go…
  • I agree on the used. Much better deals even though I don't get to custom order a car, at least dealerships can look on other lots and get them for you if something is out there. Bought our car and truck past the worn in period with around 30k miles and 2 years old. There is generally a pretty good selection since a lot of…
  • Should also mention, under 30k used. Might consider new but still 30k limit.
  • I carry our family insurance. He isnt offered insurance through his employer. He had a massive heart attack and 4 stents placed last Feb and is currently on 9 different meds including an injectable that is over $1000/shot every 2 weeks and it's not possible to stock up. We just switched insurance through work Jan. 1 which…
  • Oh don't worry. Not saying anything yet. I had a different interview with another company last year and kept it hush hush. Unfortunately they canceled the project so no one was hired. So there isn't one set way. All depends on the company. :( Wish there was one way so I knew what to expect. So manager first? Or head of…
