I forgot to check in on Thursday to end the month. Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999. Lowest since 1991: 194.4 November 25, 2018. Original starting weight: 243 in 2015. MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233. Goal: 180 in however long it takes. Weekly averages: December 24 - 31: 199.1... OK kids, party time is…

I am in. I report on Sundays! Jenn

Happy Sunday, everyone! Back on track, slow and steady wins the race...although it isn't really a race, is it? Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999. Lowest since 1991: 194.4 November 25, 2018. Original starting weight: 243 in 2015. MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233. Goal: 180 in however long it takes. Weekly…

Wow! I had about 8 lbs of IV fluid weight after my surgery in November. It's great to get it gone, isn't it? Onward we go! Jenn

Girlfriend, I think you lost a year! 😂😂😂😂 Jenn

Sounds like we are both ready to step it up a notch! We are unstoppable! Jenn

Happy Sunday, everyone! Last week I said, "You don't have to do drastic things. Make small changes, they are more likely to stick." Putting my words into practice. Sticking to my calorie goal, AND making sure to walk more. It is working. That is encouraging. Went to the park and walked in the rain yesterday. Today it is…

Happy Sunday, everyone! Moving in the right direction, albeit slowly. Getting back to habits that got me this far in the first place. Sticking to calorie goal. That is probably the most important. Moving more. I have a 30 minute lunch break at work, I am trying to spend 10-15 minutes of that walking brisk laps around our…

Happy Sunday, everyone! Well I am not doing such a great job getting back on track. I'm 'better' than I was during the holidays but it's so easy to fall back into bad habits when I let my guard down... once I'm on track it's easier to stay on track, but boy oh boy, intertia works both ways because when I get off track,…

I am in! Starting year 3! Thanks for keeping these going @SamanthaLouiseMence,we are here to support you too! Jenn

Happy New Year, everyone! 2018 flew by! Entering year 3 on MFP. I regressed a bit this month...I allowed myself to do so. Back on the straight and narrow in the morning. I hadn't really let myself get that far off track and I let myself explore over-indulging some and learned it isn't as "satisfying" as it used to seem.…

Happy Sunday, everyone! I gained. I know why. It's December and food is everywhere. In a week or so, things go back to normal and I will buckle down and get back on track. I am logging everything as always. Christmas Day is my 2 year anniversary on MFP. I got a Vivofit for Christmas and that began my weight loss journey in…

Happy Sunday, everyone! I forgot to post last week but I'm still here. December is a tough month.. so I'm just going to keep it real and honest and worry about getting more disciplined in January. I'm not off the wagon completely but I've hopped off a few times so far, and let's be honest... it's a very food-centric…

Happy Sunday, everyone! December already! This year has flown by! Glad November is over, it was a rough month, although it was my best weight loss month of the year...but I don't recommend it. Health issues are not a good way to lose weight fast. All better now! Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999. Lowest since 1991:…

I am in! Sunday weigh day!

Happy Saturday, everyone! Last check in for this month and I actually managed to lose 5+ pounds this month! It has been a wild month...my unexpected surgery, and Thursday night my husband was in a serious auto accident. He is alright, thank God, but our truck was totaled...so there's that... But we will sort that out. I am…

Happy Sunday, everyone! It has been quite a week. Back to work post-surgery, Thanksgiving, and testing out my modified digestive system. So far, so good. The 8 lbs of IV fluid weight was gone by last Monday so I started recording weights again. I am now at a 27 year low. I haven't been this "light" since before my first…

Thanks! Went back to work today, that kicked my butt. I think the IV weight is gone, I saw a new low of 198.2 today! Onward!!! Jenn

Happy Sunday, everyone! Well, I did not post last Sunday, I was feeling awfully sick. By Tuesday morning I knew I wasn't getting better without help so I went to the ER. My gallbladder was inflamed and infected. I was admitted to hospital and had the angry organ removed on Thursday afternoon. Came home Friday morning and…

Happy Sunday, everyone! Well, no movement up or down this week. That is better than a gain, so I will take it. I saw 199.9 again yesterday, I just can't seem to stay there. My lowest daily low was right before vacation on August 28th at 198.3. Seems like forever ago. Oh well, keeping on keeping on... Highest weight ever:…

This is me before my morning coffee! I am in for November!

I forgot to check in yesterday for month end. Steady at 200.8 on average for the last 7 days. Been up and down since Sunday. Onward to November! On another note, October 29th, 1999 I was at my highest weight ever and decided to make a change. Never quite got to goal then but managed to hold about where I am now for most of…

@tiabirdie56 Thanks! I don't think water retention is an issue as such, I just need to tighten up my food choices and portions some. I really appreciate the support 😁 it really does help to know we are in this together. Jenn

Happy Sunday,everyone! Is it because the weather is cooler and I want to bulk up to hibernate? I have really struggled with feeling hungry the last couple of weeks. I have given in, too, so my resulting gain isn't a surprise. We are coming into the time of year that is very food-centric. For me, I think if I can get…

However long it takes, yes. Not going to lie, 22 months in, plus a year before I started MFP, I hoped to be there by now. When I feel discouraged about that, I consider where I would be if not for the changes. Even if I never gained another ounce, my joints would be sore, I wouldn't be able to do things as easily, clothes…

Happy Sunday,everyone! Still struggling but still trying. I am playing over/under with 200. Some days over, some under. Eventually, under will win, but over isn't giving up without a fight. My body is as stubborn as my mind is! Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999. Lowest since 1999: 195. Original starting weight: 243…

Happy Sunday, everyone!I Still stuck with a 200 average. Flirted with 199.9 again this week and popped back up again. Frustrating. Not giving up though! Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999. Lowest since 1999: 195. Original starting weight: 243 in 2015. MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233 Goal: 180 in however…

Happy Sunday, everyone!I Still working on losing my vacation gain. September was a busy month. October has started busy too but not as hectic, so I am trying to stay on track. I saw 199 numbers twice last week so I am close. I just want to STAY in ONEderland! I had my annual physical this past week. My blood work is way…

Same here. Been in Samantha's threads since January 2016. We are a team. I will wait for our Captain.

I am very sorry for your loss, Samantha. Thoughts and prayers to you and yours. Jenn
