@goal06082021 Smash that pumpkin, make pie and have a spiced latte! I have no doubt there isn't anything you couldn't do!

sorry meant to rely to @clairedrose above

@drj63 Have you tried drinking Apple Cider Vinegar? I used to have horrible indigestion that would even wake me up at night no matter what I ate. A few years ago I started drinking 2 TBSP of Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with about a 30 oz of water. I drink it down all at once in the morning 2-3 times a week. I…

@ThickMama1988 girl.. with 6 kids I'm surprised you have any hair on your head - this group is a kind motivating bunch with lots of knowledge and little judgement. Make sure you log in September first and start the monthly accountability posting. It's comforting to see most everyone have the same struggles, breakthroughs…

@girlinkaz that lasagna looks amazing - do you think I could make it without the meat? You are soooooo close to your goal!!!! Woohoo! Congrats! Applause1....etc @Renewed2021- Maybe make healthy treats as easy too to grab as the non-healthy treats were. I re-package carrots, fruits and unsalted almonds in 1 serving portions…

@JuneyCleaves I checked out the link to the granola bars and yours look way more tasty! I'm going to try your version first. How's your foster pup doing he's adorable but looks a little nervous - I'm sure you loved that out of him.

That's a great change @JNettie73, It's nice that you are documenting this journey. Thanks for posting your before and after. It's funny you felt the need to tell us which photo was the start and which was today -it's very obvious!!! You've come far. You might have to get another pink tee that one is too big for your August…

@girlinkaz you look so great and so very happy. Your hard work has paid off - pretty soon those pants will be too loose! Take time to enjoy your success!

Hi everyone - I'm a life long vegetarian but not a vegan because I still enjoy cheese. I re-started on MFP just last month and I have 70lbs to lose. Looks as though this group are also fellow night owls.

I was down 1+ pounds most of the week - down 2 by Friday and the 3rd pound lost made it's first…

You were strong and did the right thing @sargemarcori I'm sure it wasn't easy but whatever you were freaking out about wouldn't have been solved by ice cream and you might have felt guilt. All the little things add up to a loss. Good job!

My happy find this week: sugar free popsicles, only 15 calories and take a while to eat so cravings can…

Don't get discouraged @wanderinglight - the fact that you are logging in foods and bravely getting on the scale is a big win. When you yoyo up it stinks but it makes the next loss even sweeter. Stay strong!

I hope to see a bigger loss next week. Positivity doesn't weigh anything!

Thanks @RavenStCloud! This is a great thread. I'm returning to MyFitnessPal after a 4 year gap. I lost a bunch of weight 4yrs ago but gained it all back - So I began again in June. The first month went great and I'm hoping to repeat that in July. Age: 61 Height: 5'4" SW: 254 June 3, 2021 CW: 239.4 June 30, 2021 7/3: 7/10:…
