25 pound loss is getting you in the right direction -- HEALTHY!

You are wonderful writer! Great work!

You are doing amazing work. Quitting smoking is a HUGE accomplishment! You are adding many more healthy years to your life

Whoo hoo, keep it up!

You mentioned that you're tired, so make sure you are drinking enough water to stay hydrated and take daily vitamins. You are totally worth all this effort😊

You are worth it!

I like to switch between Justin's peanut butter and Justin's almond butter.

Been there. It will get better. Be gentle with yourself. Feel free to add me.

Rediscovering cottage cheese. Tried Good brand which has lower sodium.

Roasted beets are amazing.

Congrats on being smoke free! That is a huge accomplishment.

I agree about getting a second opinion about the CPAP therapy, especially if the sleep study indicated mild sleep apnea. And consulting a nutritionist or dietician is a great idea! It is a slow process especially when you're feeling tired and depressed, but you are so worth the effort!

I'm in. Want to lose 8 lb this month. Need to get revved up! CW: 204.2 GW: 186 10/1 204.2

You can add me as a friend

Just for today, I will stay on plan. Thanks for the motivation CricketKate💙

I had a bingey weekend myself and feel like a slug. Tomorrow is a fresh day, getting back on track!

You are doing great! Even your cheeks are skinnier!!

Chris in sunny, glorious MA Thanks for sharing! I have a similar weight journey (57, been overweight since my 30s) and was lamenting that I will be in a nursing home when I hit my goal weight

My daughter has a friend who really hurt her feelings but she didn't want to say anything to her friend because she might be considered clingy or selfish or didn't want to lose her friend. It made me realize how hard it is to say "You really hurt my feelings" to someone. I know that I've spent a years not saying those…

Sorry, it's Jude from Chicagoland

Today I went way over my calorie count (pizza, my downfall). Not proud of that but am proud I logged it all in.

Thank you all for the welcomes! Meeting my goal of logging in every morsel that hits my lips and walking 3000 steps.

Ok, I'm late to the party but made it! I'm new to MFP and trying to find a group that feels right. I'm late 50's and am done done done with being overweight. I'm 208 and my goal is 135. My April goal is to log every food, every day. And to walk minimum of 3000 steps. Jude, Chicagoland

Yikes, my message got cut off! Could use some supportive older friends. But yay for you! It's easier losing the weight when you're younger plus you get to be a good role model for your 2-yr old.

I'm 5'2", 57 yrs old, and am at 208. My goal weight is 135. Been heavy for way too long and am DONE with it. Could use some older

I also have fibromyalgia and I know how hard it is. I'm really starting to notice how my diet affects the pain levels. Don't give up on yourself!

I'm right on the borderline and want to get it under control. I'm 57, 80 lbs overweight, and sit all day at work. What are you doing to change?
