I’m in. My goal for October is 290,000 steps. I’m coming in this two days late. My mini goal is to do it 7 days straight. I started yesterday.

I was happy to see one of your answers was that not everyone is the same for what is too low. I lost a little over 90 pounds in a little over one year. I was not getting in enough iron somehow and ended up in the hospital for four days getting blood transfusions and transfusions of iron and a work up to see what was…

Went to my hematology appointment today. My hemoglobin which started at 4.3 went to 8.3 in hospital to 10.8 today. The doctor said that I don't have a blood disorder or the precursor to leukemia because I would not have been able to absorb the iron i'm taking. So, long story short, they checked me for cancer or bleeding in…

90 pounds, actually 91 pounds as of this morning

Like it with one teaspoon of cream and one teaspoon sugar

Agree with the above poster. why put a label on it. You have a great shape and look healthy. it is very difficult to tell with the one leg back.

exermom... yes, the word cancer scared me straight. that's why I've come to MFP and left weight watchers. MFP has more attention to healthy eating by telling you when you are under on a specific part of your diet or over. It has already told me I eat too much sugar, because of the fruit I eat, but under calories. Who'd of…

You ladies are a busy group. I guess I should introduce myself. i'm 59 years old, divorced mom of adult son and one fur baby who is still at home, i'll never let him go. Anyway, I started at weight watchers end of April 2018 and lost 90 pounds total, over the first 10 months lost 75 pounds, over the next 6 months I lost…

I'm a hospice nurse in an inpatient hospice unit. I work 12 hour nights 3 days week.

Hi I'm Cheryl, nick name Charlie, I've been knitting since I was 8 years old and crocheting in my teens. My favorite things to knit are socks, but I can knit just about anything including toys. One of my reasons for wanting to lose weight was because it will be easier and less expensive to make sweaters and garments. I've…

theowlbox I hang out on ravelry much like people hangout on facebook. Yes, I post pictures of finished projects and have made some on line friends there/

Salmon with spinach for lunch and a bowl of raisin bran with skim milk for dinner. i'm trying to get my iron up because it is low. For breakfast I went out to eat with friends and had two sunnyside up eggs with rye toast, dry, and I put a little margarine on it.

I find this post very interesting as I have been doing weight watchers for the past 17 months. I lost 90 pounds, 75 of those pounds in the first 10 months. The weight loss has slowed so much that in the next 7 months I lost 15 pounds. I was kidding myself thinking I was eating enough and ended up in the hospital with a…

I'm just starting over on myfitnesspal.com Just left weight watchers after over one year on that program and loss of 90 pounds, but need to lose the rest much slower and have a program that gives me nutrition value and makes me focus on the nutrition and not just the weight loss. At the cost of weight watchers I can't…

I joined weight watcher two weeks ago and already lost over 8 pounds. I was trying to do mfp without WW but it just wasn't working or me. i think i needed the accountability. I like mfp community board better than WW and I like to use both the points food log and calorie food log because I don't want to get carried away…

The idea is that you are supposed to eat up to the point of being satisfied. some of us don't know satisfied but I am learning since I am doing weight watchers. I lost a lot of weight first time I was on weigh watcher eating as much grapes as I wanted. I made lifetime decided to do it on my own even though i had free…

I'm on call this weekend. already have 6 patients, two that are admissions. Way too much work for one person. This has me so depressed. This is when I have to really beware of stress eating. And, if something comes up they will not think twice about adding another patient to the list. I went grocery shopping and bought…

I don't know why you have to wait one hour to edit something. sorry the above prayer came from Margaret not Heather. Thanks Margaet. and heather I will remove this in one hour and change the name above in one hour.

Heather... I love this. hope you don't mind I copied it so I can save it and not lose it. Thank you. May I be filled with love and kindness... May I be safe and protected... May I love and be loved... May I be happy and contented... May I be healthy and strong... May my life unfold with ease... 1. You say this for yourself…

Hi everyone...still pushing through with my eating plan...not so much on the exercise, but am getting in around 3000 steps per day. Maybe I will push myself to get in 4000 today since I have the day off. I'm on call this weekend so have today off. They don't like to pay us overtime at all and i'm fine with that because I…

Made it through day 4 on program eating slightly under calories. I was dying for a can of coke and am drinking it right now. It is nice that we can eat or drink what we want as long as we track it. Work is stressful as usual. I'm a hospice nurse case manager who's patients are seen at home, nursing homes and intermittently…

It is about 1.5 miles from my house, the price is right, it has what need and want and I like that there isn't a bunch of macho's there.

Charlie is a nickname of mine, Ann is my middle name and 31 is the age we will all be for eternity.

Thanks for all your responses. It is very helpful in making my decision. I'm probably going to go for it. 50 isn't that much, only like 4 dollars per day. And, Like Emmy, if i don't use it will not get it again next time.

Just got home from work and popped in here to see how all you ladies are doing. Already got in 3000 steps and still plan on going to the gym which will give me some more, not to mention walking Dexter. Wendy...thanks, i know you are right about everyone is different about how often they weigh themselves. I have had people…

Just wanted to check in with all of you for my Sunday. Had dinner with my sister, her family, and my brother on Sunday. We had a choice of spaghetti squash or spaghetti with the marinara sauce. I was great, I chose the spaghetti squash, It was actually good. When they brought out the cupcakes for the kids birthday (my…

thanks Momepro.

I could of swore i posted on here yesterday thanking you all for your welcomes, hugs and well wishes. Your children, grandchildren and fur babies are beautiful. I don't think I talk as much as all of you but will do my best to get to know all of you and have you get to know me. I made it without a problem yesterday. Ate St…
