I fit back into a pair of pants that had a distressingly wide V gap over the tummy just two months ago, made even more insulting because the tags were still attached and I hadn't yet worn them. Yikes! Yesterday I was able to get them zipped up and buttoned up with only a slight intake of breath....well maybe a bit of…

I picked up a new weigh scale today, and I recorded a 2.9 lb loss with my first weigh in, so I think this is a really positive sign. :) I'm looking forward to many happy results. I also picked up a digital food scale -- Holy Hannah, there are a lot of brands to choose from! -- and I went with the Cuisinart model because…

@cnavarro002, I'm going to Bed, Bath, and Beyond this weekend to see what they have for both types of scales.

I'm adding food scale and bathroom scale to my shopping list right now. I've been getting by weighing myself at my parents' home once a week. They have one of those old fashioned doctor's office scale with the weights that slide across at chest height. It's the food scale that is the most critical, I think. I have an very…

Are you experiencing a "Man! Am I good!" moment @MzCara148? Because you really should be. Change is hard, and you have a substantial list of deliberate changes.

I hear you too, @MzCara148. Let's pat ourselves on the back for some of the gigantic tiny steps we are undertaking and help each other celebrate the process. Here are some of my newly incorporated not-yet habits, in no specific order of importance. food logging fitbit pedometer tracking meal planning meal prepping…

I'm trying to deliberately focus on the step-by-step, the daily food logging, the weekly meal-planning, the careful choices at the grocery store, the selection of recipes, and the weekend meal-prep, all as a way to ritualize the process until it becomes second nature, and doing that will hopefully distract me from…

Hey, @MzCara148. I am adding some of my daily/weekly calorie deficit to an imaginary emergency fund, an emergency calorie fund, for that inevitable day I go off the rails and need the grace to forgive myself for not being perfect. I'm tucking away 100 calories per week. Sounds incredibly nerdy, I know, but knowing that I…

My FitBit Zip pedometer tells me that I am getting in between 5,000 to 7,500 steps on my working days, but my weekends are pretty much 2,500 and 1,000. I tried to make the jump from 7,500 weekdays steps to 10,000 steps/day on Saturday with a nice long walk (now that the ice is all gone), but I think it was too soon and too…

1. Where are you from? Alberta (Canada) 2. What are you currently binge watching on Netflix / Hulu / etc? Don't have either, but enjoy mysteries and who-done-it type shows. 3. If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be? An onion - lots of layers to be be peeled off :) . 4. Where is the best place you've ever…

Thanks, @bigghunny. Yeah. The surgery thing is definitely something I'd like to avoid. My doctor is going ahead with the request for an appointment at the local obesity clinic for me, and it can take a year to get an appointment, so I have some time to prove to myself that I can get the job done on my own. In the mean time…

Hello, all. I'm checking in here with my first MFP post. I've been lurking here for a little while reading your posts and absorbing the culture of this group. I've seen such optimistic and positive energy and kind support. Now that is something I would like to participate in. I've got a long journey ahead of me and can use…
