I actually work on the other side of the business. I support an electronic health record called Echo. Implementation is really stressful on both sides. Our management is considering replacing Echo and replacing it was something else . I hope not.

Daily Post: December 2nd Track: Yes Calories under goal: No, over again Exercise: 6,650 steps I went over thanks to the holiday party and being hungry when I got home....so I still ate dinner. I didn't get my steps in because I was at the party over lunch time and couldn't walk. Oh well....will do better today.

Daily Post: December 1st Track: Yes Calories under goal: No, over Exercise: 10,402 steps At least I got my walking in yesterday. I fixed a huge dinner last night...at least it was healthy though. Grilled cod, zucchini and yellow squash plus stuffed clam (not quite so healthy, but delicious). I might be over with calories…

CindyJNC1963 December: Week #1 Original starting weight: 273 PW: 175.8 CW: 176 I had a huge dinner last night so I am ok with this weight...I was afraid it would be worse. I saw my weight loss physician today and she was really pleased with my results. I had hoped to be past the 100 lb loss mark today when I saw her....but…

Daily Post: November 30th Track: Yes Calories under goal: Yes Exercise: 10,800 steps I ended up losing 4.5 lbs in November. I will take that. On to December!!!

My name is Cindy, I'm 57 and I've been a member of this group since 11/2018 (I joined MFP 10/2018). I have been overweight off and on since college. I have tried many diets (Jenny Craig, Nutri-system, Weight Watchers, Slim Fast, just plain old dieting, etc). I would take the weight off but it would eventually return. I was…

It was a really nice day. Saturday was awful for walking...it…

I switched from Miralax to Phillips Colon Heath Probiotic. It works....but the only problem is that it gives you really bad gas....such that you have to take GasX. LOL...definitely TMI!!! So, now I'm deciding which is worse...taking Miralax or the probiotic plus the GasX. It seems like before I went to my most recent…

How will you fit Thanksgiving into your goals? Will you prepare some lower calorie options? Will you take the day and enjoy your time with family and friends and get back to the plan Friday? It is just me and my Dad at my house. My only splurge is we will have "real" mashed potatoes and I bought us some frozen yeast rolls.…

After I thought about it I figured it was a mistake too. The snarky folks on the regular message boards love to "woo" or "disagree" or whatever they want to call it. I agree that it shouldn't be an option.

Daily Post: November 21st Track: Yes Calories under goal: No, but only a few calories over Exercise: 10,044 steps Daily Post: November 22nd Track: Yes Calories under goal: Yes Exercise: 10,650 steps

Daily Post: November 20th Track: Yes Calories under goal: Yes Exercise: 10,335 steps It has been a struggle getting my steps in this week. Tons of meetings...however, I have somehow managed it.

Who is going around hitting the "disagree" button?

Daily Post: November 19th Track: Yes Calories under goal: Yes Exercise: 10,600 steps Somehow I forgot my original weight loss goal. I thought my original goal was to get to 138 lbs. 136 lbs gets my BMI under 25 (getting me to the "normal" category for the first time in many, many years). Soooo....I still have 40 lbs to…

Thanks....38 lbs to goal. The closer I get...the hard it gets to lose though. You are doing a great job too!!

Daily Post: November 18th Track: Yes Calories under goal: Yes, 100 calories under Exercise: 11,341 steps I bought a little pair of hand weights at WalMart. I started using them on a couple of my short walks during the day.

Daily Post: November 17th Track: Yes Calories under goal: No, over Exercise: 7,863 steps Sunday is generally my day to relax the "rules" a little bit day so I did go over by about 150 calories or so. It was a really nice day so I did decide to go for a 2 mile walk even though it is usually my rest day. I couldn't stay…

Daily Post: November 15th Track: Yes Calories under goal: Yes Exercise: 10,280 steps It started out as a rainy, dreary day so I didn't do my morning walk. However, I drug myself off of the sofa at 4:00 and walked 3.5 miles. Daily Post: November 16th Track: Yes Calories under goal: Yes Exercise: 12,650 steps It was a…

Daily Post: November 14th Track: Yes Calories under goal: No, 100 calories over ....but I was 170 under on Wednesday Exercise: 12,572 steps (made up for the Wednesday shortage) I bought some new gel inserts for my shoes. Hope it eases up the heel pain.

Daily Post: November 12th Track: Yes Calories under goal: Yes Exercise: 7,355 steps I had a long afternoon meeting followed by a dental appointment so I didn't get all of my steps in. I hope to make it up over the next couple of days.

Daily Post: November 12th Track: Yes Calories under goal: Yes Exercise: 10,800 steps The weather was too rainy to walk outside yesterday, but I was at work so I got my walking done inside the building. I admit it, I am a winter person. I LOVE the winter...but not when it's raining. I was ready to move back north this…

Congrats on a great loss!!

I think each of us has different ways to be strict on ourselves. I am absolutely militant on tracking. I have tracked every single day for over 390 days. I don't miss a day. I think that doing this, more than anything, keeps me from overeating. In the past, I was dishonest with myself. I never wanted to admit how much I…
