Hi everyone. I had the most wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Visited my stepdaughter and her hubby and 3 kids. Weather couldn't have been better. Exercise was good -- went to a holiday parade and walked for like 4 hours. Then planted bulbs with the grandkids for about an hour the next day. I've totally stopped logging and…

and @Nikion901 (hit return by accident before I finished the above post!) And, I am making a note that a few people are going to post their weights on Wednesday -- as will I. My weight today is 219. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone.

@goinstd12 So much to deal with. My heart goes out to you. Please know that your are in my thoughts and prayers. And don't be a stranger! @BarneyRubbleMD and @RunawayCurves - Your posts intrigued me. I don't know what it takes to be diagnosed a binge eater (maybe honesty?) I certainly have trigger foods and have been…

@pneschich Congrats! Great story. Thanks for sharing your journey. It came at a good time for me. @Nikion901 Wondering how long ago it was when you wore those pants. You can probably resell as "vintage" LOL! I have full body shots of myself before I lost 40-50 lbs. But I still avoid mirrors below waist and shudder when I…

@bapcarrier I can record for an exercise challenge. My weight this week was 221.4 I just didn't have the guts to post. As I mentioned, I went on a no grain/no sugar. And then he added no dairy. The idea being that the aches and pains would go away. When doc didn't have the refill on the protein powder I took that as…

@BarneyRubbleMD you almost lost 100 lbs since you began losing weight and 8.6 lbs this challenge. Yowza!! Go barney go!!

@jam5660 just notice your goal this challenge was to weigh less. And you've lost 10 lbs. Congrats. Amazing. Woo hoo!!!

There's been some discussion about a challenge over holidays. I need to return to my good exercise habits. Anyone interested in setting goals for exercise? Minutes per week. Or simple number of times per week?

2nd try - posting pic from my home today

@newjax2017. Many tx for the encouragement.

Just got back from a wonderful 6 mile hike. Wonderful. I am inspired by the thought of moving to a size 8. Heck I'll take size 12. Nikion - your quote is so true ... thanks for that. The fact that e of us met weight loss goal proves to me that it can be done. Tx for leading the way

I'm on a weird place. Just can't write today. Hectic times Lots of changes at work. Will catch up over the weekend. Be well.

@jamiewilldo Welcome! @b_lisieux Appreciate the reply. I normally don't forbid anything, but my chiro is suggesting I try anti-inflammatory which means no sugar no grains. Surprisingly I'm doing all right -- especially with no grains. I bought the zoodles yesterday to try out as a replacement for pasta. @verybusybee Glad…

Sunday Share - I was unbelievably hungry yesterday. I reflected on the conversation here about why we undo what we have gains (or should I say losses). I do believe it has to do with rewarding myself for doing so well. I was craving chocolate and bread. I made it up til bedtime, then I grabbed a chocolate bar I had in the…

@bapcarrier Weigh in this week 214.4!! I can't copy the format from last week from my cell. I was up to 222 last week, so needless to say I'm thrilled And just 4.4 pounds away from my challenge goal, I think. Anyone have a trick for easy access to last Wednesday weigh post? We have such a terrific discussion going that I…

I am going to have to post my weight tomorrow. I forgot to weigh myself this morning and I will only weigh myself in the AM. @pneschich So sorry to hear of the health problems in your family. All my best wishes for good health on the horizon! @mutamale - Welcome! and @bapcarrier @newjax2017 @verybusybee @pneschich Why do…

Hi everyone. Enjoyed the posts I am not inclined to test the accuracy of MPG predictions. For me the focus is the "heading in the right direction" message... it's a coAching tool for me. I know that if I stick to the plan (meet calorie carb and fat goals) I so lose weight. I've done it before and I can do it again Sunday…

@newjack2017 You've lost 68.5 lbs so far. Wow!! Tired of dieting? Maybe you can swap out a few foods and balance things out to give yourself a break. Also, maintaining for a period is always a good idea. That's why I like MFP, it's real food we're eating @birdgirl2015 35 pounds since February! Congrats to you too! @samiyha…

@30prospect. Thyroid can really be tough with weight. My sister struggles with this too. She actually changed doctors and had better results. Second opinions can be helpful, even if only to affirm your current doctors approach. Another thought is exercise. I learned that after a while the same routine can become…

@bapcarrier, @nikion901 and @verybusybee - Things I never knew!! Thank you@ @verybusybee - While weight is so important to keep us in check, inches speak volumes. There's so many reasons for weight to fluctuate (my list is too long to post LOL!!) @jennordhavn - Wow, no cravings... I have to work very hard on that.…

Sunday share: I was born in Asbestos Quebec. Can you believe it?! Open pit asbestos mine. No one in our family of mine contracted lung disease. Left in 1960. Hi everyone. What great posts this week. I haven't posted since wednesday, but I did think of it every day. Went out of town to parents weekend at my daughters…
