I think it varies. My husband doesn't stop moving unless sleeping or sick. I am not that way. I need motivation. It keeps me moving, so for me, yes.

My sister's wedding is in June. Last night I went with the group to go bridesmaid dress shopping. I was convinced nothing would be in my size. There wasn't any in my size, but the next size down, several actually and I figured they might not zip but I could get an idea. They zipped AND hooked like they were suppose to with…

I deal with diverticulitis a lot. Recent flare up just this week. Have been hospitalized for it and it is horrible. Can't imagine dealing with UC or Chrones. For me it is about eating a high fiber diet and steering clear or corn (my biggest trigger). I have thought about seeing a dietician or nutritionist but pretty sure…

From 630am to 130pm was spent in the ER today. I was hoping to just get some meds and be able to go in to work later...... They ended up giving me pain meds which helped but knocked me out. I told them what antibiotics I normally take for this... They gave me something totally different. So I still went to my pcp which I…

I have a German Shepherd so I know All about the struggles of keeping an active dog calm. She was 4 months old when we got her fixed, poor thing lived in a cage for…

@Momofthree224 weekends are a struggle for me too. So many family things go on, we go out to eat. I just try to remember to be more active.

I think I am finally back to being focused on my food tracking. I kind of got lost for a bit. We had a huge Halloween party last weekend and I know I went over food wise. But as a host I was bouncing around quite a bit so there was lots of walking and moving. It was so much fun :). This weekend we are going to a Halloween…

If you have a dollar tree near you,go in and check them out. Ours always has different things, I even found a big bag of flax seed in there once. We have a Save-A-Lot which is kinda like Aldi? They sell older produce for ridiculously cheap, never had issues with it. Another one in the next town over sells meat packages for…

So while I have had small NSVs of making good choices I have yet to have any physical ones. This one came at a perfect time... As I was in a mood to say screw it all!!! Back in July I started my journey. I had No jeans that fit. We went out with some family and friends one night and I squeezed, literally, into into a pair.…

Reese's Custard Concrete from Sonic. That was my lunch and it was delicious. And I ate it at 1030 this am. I am thinking Saturday before work I want a cinnamon roll from the local pastry shop. Their cinnamon rolls are almost as big as my head!!!!!
-
The last few days have just been blah and I have actually just busted out in tears a couple times and today I had a custard concrete from Sonic..... I only ate half, but still. At least today is my early day and I can go home sooner. The over time is great especially since my hubby has been sick but I am sick of being here.

I felt like this over the weekend. I ate horribly, some how I lost .2lbs from Friday to today. I logged and according to MFP was just right at maint. one day a little over. And there was some extra bites and tastes that were not logged. So it isn't always as bad as it seems.

I am super unmotivated today, and it is the first of the month (for my line of work - I work for a consumer loan company). On top of that we are short staffed. I still have another day left of my week :neutral: I guess I shouldn't complain about overtime, right? The scale was up this week which was kind of a bummer. I…

@cayladebra - my local Wal-Mart has a really nice sport equipment section and I have gotten a lot of stuff from there. They always have a lot of clearance stuff too. My mom got hand weights for me from a local yard sale. I had a really nice stand for them until my husband stepped on it... :neutral: @jdelaroy - Thanks!!!! I…

I just read through some of this thread. I love the encouragement and positivity in here. I am looking for that kind of support. I have been on my journey for a little over 60 days. Down 26lbs. Some days I find it frustrating and others I feel like I am on top of the world.

I set my calories for 2lbs/wk. I know that I can go 500 calories above that and still be in a losing zone. On weekends if we have a party or something I allow myself to maintenance. In the past I have been way to strict with myself got frustrated and quit. I am just over 60 days of Consistent tracking and have lost 26lbs…

A favorite customer comes in every month and always brings us a treat. Today it was cherry pastries. They looked delicious! I even scanned one into my diary. 70 calories for a one bite pastry. They all went home with my boss's son. I deleted it from my diary. But they did sit on the counter all day. Very proud I didn't…

The only people who know my starting weight is my doctor and my husband. I am well over 300lbs but have lost 25lbs in the last 60 days eating at a 2lb loss/we. Some days I go over that, but I am in the mindset that this is for forever and I am not always going to eat perfect. Everyday life has cookies and birthday cake and…

Also June of next year my baby sister is getting married and I am the…

My first time being able to post on this one..... My NSV? My profile picture. Not a big difference, but I can see a tiny difference in how my clothes fit. Wearing the same identical out fit right around 3 Months apart. Oh, and a friend of mine runs a Facebook page for monthly fitness challenges. I completed the September…

July 20th is when I started logging. My husband paid for another one line food diary for me that I used years ago and had a lot of success, I just recently started logging on MFP again. I missed a week of logging in these 2 months from where I was on vacation. In all of that since July 20th I have lost right around 25lbs.…

Will be a year the end of this month I had mine. 3 months before that I had multiple procedures done at once. I am very obese (21lbs down since July though) and my surgeries were a breeze, recovery was a breeze. Stay positive.
