I am not consistent but lately have told myself that even if all I do is 5 minutes, it counts. In that way I don't get too hard on myself. My son has been doing resistant band training and was somewhat frustrated because he hasn't lost weight. He has, however, noticeably changed the way his body looks. He has a more fit…

Thank you, @Joy1580vb. It looks beautiful where you live and coming from a farming family, I know that is a tough life! Congrats on your weight loss!! I hope you are already seeing improvement in A1C levels. I'm so glad there is this age group and I bet more will join when they find it.

Hmm, I'm having issues with binge eating and drinking. You mention you only take a small amount every 2-3 weeks…does it last that long or do you do it for an extra spark?

Hi! I'm new to the group and to MFP. I'm seeing a lot of posts from two of you and it sounds like you are both outdoors people like me. I'm 5'6, 176 pounds in OK and CO. Today is the 1 year anniversary of my son's wife who died of cancer at 30 and we are planning an honoring get-together this evening with family. I was the…

I'm Patti, 5'6" and I'm joining after being away for 2 years. I didn't do this consistently and this time I'm planning on doing it consistently. This challenge is just what I need to be accountable daily. I'm working on controlling binge eating and exercising more. Thanks to all who are administering the group. I'm so very…

I just joined, too and my name is Patti with a 30 pound goal!

@lindamtuck2018 weigh in Friday PW - 172.8 (I think) CW 172.6 Got to get out of the 170's in March - that's my goal!

Way to be consistent with exercise! You lost 3.3, right? That sounds like you did really well.

@MyChoiceisaGoodLife what are some of your favorite dishes? Where in Colorado do you live? I'm in Georgetown, about an hour sw of Denver.

@NanElisaP Good for you on making the board for weight loss. I hope this week is good for you, too.

@inshapeCK congratulations on the good week you had! Way to go!

@lindamtuck2018 How was your mindfulness training? I just enrolled in a breathwork course through Yogalap, and it includes mindfulness aspects, as well. I hope you enjoy yours.

@888Angie888 So sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. It is always wonderful to be able to get outside after being couped up in the house. I hope you continue to get better.

@Slimmersixties You are not a fraud, at all! This seems to be the road that many of us travel and just because we put it on does not always mean we will be able to take it off. Congrats on your success - own it!

@Slimmersixties I would love to know what your strategy was last week for such a big loss.

@rwood566 I hope you are able to find a solution to your problems. I'm glad you are going to get assistance.

@justlogtoday - great loss! What worked for you?

Congrats! Very nice!

@lindamtuck2018 Yes, I hate cooking, too! I am so bad about having chips and dip for supper. I'm thinking I may go back to a food delivery plan, every two weeks. Hungry Root was very saimple meals. My son is using misfits, which is vegetables that have been overstocked. He gets really good deals with that, but you still…

I totally relate to the yoyo aspect of losing weight - it took me two weeks to lose 4 pounds and one night to put on 5 - for me it is eating the gluten and the dairy. It is so hard to stay motivated when 1-2 meals can undue all of the good choices you've been making, I know. Good job on all of the good decisions you've…

I'm just impressed with your consistency in drinking the water - and for losing weight. I guess I don't get that thirsty so maybe I need a jug. I haven't been to Conifer, I'll have to check it out. I have a friend living in Castle rock and she really likes it. I'm what they call in the mountains, Georgetown, CO at the base…

@JaysFan82 You are an inspiration!

. Tell us a little about yourself? Where are you from? What are some of your hobbies? Etc. I'm Patti, lving temporarily in Georgetown, CO while I care for my son's girlfriend who is being treated for a rare cancer. "We" are halfway thrpough the journey and the treatment is successful in regards to the cancer. I love to…

@JaysFan82 Wow, you are almost coming up on your one year anniversary, and look at what you've done. Impressive!

@Megan_smartiepants1970 I have a simple question for you regarding water: how do you get 140 oz a day of water? I am new to Colorado and have been told by a practioner I need 132 oz but I find that even at 10 glasses, I have to plan my trips and not get far from the bathroom! Do you have a plan that works? Sounds silly, I…

I never really thought I'd be celebrating the fact that I'm back to my starting weight. Having gained about 6 pounds above it, I realize it can come on me so fast. Even though it takes me a long time to develop good habits, it just takes a minute to bring the bad ones back. I'm caregiver for someone who hs been in the…

I laughed when I read about your new respect for the grocery list - oh, my gosh - I feel like I'm always preparing food when my Grandkids stay with me! Such a blessing to have them, I hope you enjoy your time.
