I didn't lose anything during this challenge...but on the plus side I didn't gain anything.

I'm doing water aerobics 2-3 times a week. This is monumental because I don't exercise...like ever

My brother had the surgery about 10 years ago. He was over 350 lbs, 5'11" when he started, now he's about 200. He has kept the weight off but he has completely changed his life. He works out several times a week now, swims daily. Eats less at meals and starts each day with protein powder in his DD iced coffee. He doesn't…

I'm sticking it out. Down about 26 lbs but having a hard time. My weight has been going up and down 2 lbs for over a month! I'm weighing my food but I think my lack of height (5'2") isn't helping. Originally I put down 2 lbs a week and got 1200 K. Couldn't stick to it so I raised it to 1.5 lbs...1200 calories, 1lb? you…

I did my first water aerobics class and I liked it!

This! So much this! I've had this with canned veggies too, what do they include, the water? The only way to do it is drain the veg and re-weigh then divide in portions. I'll admit for the most part I don't panic about a few grams over for veggies. I buy a lot of those steamer bags that usually say 3 servings per package. I…

I just booked a cruise for Sept. I would love to get to goal but it's not happening (unless I lose 10 lbs a month and that isn't going to happen) I just want to stick to my plan and see what I can accomplish in about 3 months

I went to counseling with my ex husband, I had hired an attorney and the ex begged me to go, because he loved me... He also found fault with me constantly, I was never quite good enough. He was also cheating on me. Even when we were in counseling. It's common for the one that's cheating to try to blame their spouse. You're…

good luck, stick to a plan and you can do it

I measured chest, waist, hips. Surprisingly I haven't lost even an inch in any of those despite a 26 lbs. loss so far. I do notice that my arms, calves, thighs and face look thinner. Should have taken more measurements

I'm glad someone posted this, I've been trying to get it to work for a couple of days. I guess the perk of this is that I haven't been eating any exercise calories so I should come out ahead

But Chicago eats that funky yellow mustard, NYC goes for the Golden's

Brownies I have 2 boxes in the cupboard and I'm afraid to bake them because I know I will eat the entire pan. The smell of them baking has me salivating.

Went to TJ Maxx today just to use the bathroom, but I saw this cute shirt on clearance. Medium. I thought "What the heck" and tried it on...it fit! My first Medium in over 20 years! I had to buy it!

I have heard of the "fist" thing before, it refers to portions. I think it's something like a steak portion should be as big as your palm? Maybe a potato as big as a fist? It's used for guessing an accurate portion size when you don't have a scale

I am not doing well, drinking and snacking are blowing it for me. I'm going to try harder!

I thought it was just me! Yesterday afternoon MFP said I had 1,120 on my fitbit and I had over 4 thousand. I kept trying to fix it but just gave up. This morning it seems to have added missing steps overnight.

Books Before you dump them in a libraries return bin, make sure they accept them! I work at a library and we DO NOT accept donations. Anything dropped in our return box is thrown out. Especially magazines (including National Geographic) and text books. Save yourself some money anyway and use your public library, why own a…

I have a ton of relatives I think I'd spend a lot of time dodging them. Honestly I would buy a cottage in the Catskills and a place in Florida. I like my condo so I would keep that and just travel as much as I want. Spend time at all my places and explore new ones.

Times change About 2 years ago I dropped about 25 lbs, everyone mentioned it! No one asked me if I was ill but everyone commented on how good I looked. It took 2 years to gain it all back I've lost almost 30 lbs since January and no one mentions it. I met up with some friends last night and I thought that they would say…

In the shower this morning I noticed my arms and legs look thinner. Significantly thinner

The pale skin can be an iron deficiency, anemia. Talk to your doctor and eat your spinach

It does show why you need to weigh your food. Eyeballing and guessing what a portion looks like and how many calories to log just doesn't work

Just booked a cruise for November. A few of my sisters, brothers and other relations are going too! I want to look good in the pictures and not have to look around for someone to stand behind. (especially hard since I'm the shortest one in the group)
