I met a new family member through Ancestry, and ended up talking to her for quite awhile. :)

I'm a Kentucky fan so I don't know.... :D :D :D

It's going to be a great day, and weekend. :)

In my office the bathroom is by the backstairs, so I make myself go downstairs and back up each trip to the bathroom. Helps me get steps in for the day. :)

Your post made me tired just reading everything you do! LOL

Hi :)

Congrats! What great motivation. :)

Before I went to basic (a long time ago), I was at my highest weight. I lost about 50lbs, but I ended up on a limited PT profile. After my med board I started gaining all the weight back. I stepped on the scale recently, and I had hit a new heaviest weight. Not exactly the record I was looking to set for myself. I was…

1200 might not be a great starting amount. Have you tried to set it to lose a lower amount each week to see if that's more manageable for you, then you can readjust later?

There's a group of ladies in my office who do WW. It always worries me a bit when I hear them say things like, "I ate 2 fried eggs last night since eggs are free." Ummm.... They still have calories, and there are things like cholesterol to consider. It made me wonder just how nutritionally sound WW really is. Just me and…

:D

The second you tell me I can't have something the more I want it. I'm a big believer in everything in moderation. However, going by my current weight I would say that I need to work on the moderation part more. :D

You've got this! :)

That's because we all know carbs are the problem not calorie totals. :D :D :D

Yes! Now the WW group at my office won't look at me like I'm crazy for saying I just watch my calories, and try to walk more.

Feel free to add me. Always looking for people to stay positive and focused with. :)

Thanks! I was really confused as to how it all worked. :)

I think the biggest thing for me is reminding myself I don't have to be perfect. The second you tell me I can't have something I go off the deep end and overeat it. I just have to remind myself I can have whatever I want, I just need to be mindful of how much I eat. Take a deep breath and refocus. :)

I don't understand how the points work. To me it's easier to use this to just track my calories and nutrition.

sent you an invite

Meditation really helped me.

I want you to be my new bff. LOL Seriously though, that's great advice. I gave up chocolate for Lent, and I'm already dreaming about my first chocolate once it's over. :D

I'm on here most days. Feel free to message or add me as a friend, and I can try to help you out. :)

I think my Fitbit has been a huge help. I thought I was doing ok moving around each day, turns out not so much. :D

Anything specific you need help with?

My work bff told me that she's noticed my clothes are starting to fit me differently.

Southern Indiana.

I'm on most days to help myself stay focused. Feel free to add me.

Been using MFP for about a month, but only have two friends. I could use a little extra support, would love to help someone else out too. :)

Pretty much everyone in my department at my work is trying to lose weight. We have 3 on WW, 1 doing keto, and then there's me just counting calories and trying to walk more (to start out). The WW group constantly asks what I'm doing to lose weight as soon as I say counting calories they look horrified and tell me that's…
