Awesome Job!! I'm down from 305 myself. I'm so proud of you!

I am interested for sure

Hello! I can understand where you are coming from totally. My total need to lose is about 165 lbs. I've also got three kids, and missed out on a LOT when they were younger because I was just too heavy to do anything. I'm 41 now, with a 2 year old grandson, and I need to get my butt into gear. We've got this!

Hey ladies and happy Monday!! Quite a bit of COLD here, frozen rain and snow on top of that, but no where as bad as it could be. Maybe 2 inches of snow, with 1/4 inch of ice under? Trying to decide if I want to go outside walking or just pace up and down the house like a caged beast for a few miles like I did yesterday. I…

Hi ladies! Weigh in today went fairly well. CW: 231 Total weight lost since 06/01/2021 --- 74 pounds!! I'm hoping next week to finally reach the big 7 5 mark. Woke up feeling gross this morning, and didn't get any steps at all in today. Hoping tomorrow is better!!

Hi everyone!! Weighing in tomorrow, I've gotten in the habit since I started my journey in June of weighing on Wednesdays :) Here is to hoping for good things. I kind of doubt it for this week, I don't think I have done well with my intake , and I've been walking inside b/c is is very very cold, but that doesnt' feel like…

Good Afternoon ladies !! Didn't do so hot with snacking yesterday, but kept it under 2k cals. Today is my hubby's birthday, and while we aren't having cake because he is diabetic and I honestly don't want it in the house, we are ordering Indian takeout for dinner. I'm fairly sure I will go over my calories again, although…

Hi ladies, popping in to say hi! So cold today that school was cancelled for the kiddos.. brrr! I got about a mile in before I quit lol, rest of the walking is going on inside.

12/31/2021 238 1/5/2022 233!! I'm wondering if a lot of it was just bloating? I still feel super swollen and bloated on top of it. I'll have to call my doc and see if there are any safe diuretics.

Thank you! We do have this, together!!! We are going to rock it!! Went and threw out all the candy, and took it to the curb. I've never been so sad to throw candy away before.

Hi Erika, I'm new too! I'm Lynne. Nice to meet you! @AlexandraFindsHerself1971 I feel the same way! That red really discourages me, even if I went 5-6 over like I did last night. It makes me feel like a failure. I hadn't thought to switch it to maintenance, thank you for the suggestion! @Jesslan_Rose I am so, so sorry.…

You've got this @mantherzemail !!

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome!! It is greatly appreciated :) @thatbeautifulchick1988 , I certainly hear you!! My hubby is the same way, he's on disability and doesn't do squat around the house. Annoying. @justanotherloser007 , my house is tiny too! I live in a mobile home. It gets annoying going up and down…

Hey all, do you mind if I join? I've been on this journey for almost a year now and could use some company! Looking forward to getting to know everyone :) Name: Lynne Age: 41 Height: 5'11" or 6', depends on the doctor Original SW: 305.6, May 30th 2021 2022 SW: 238.9 My goals for January are to get down to 235, and to try…

Count me in please! Just joined this group, and have binge eating disorder. I would love to have someone to help keep me from eating , and would love to help others.

Happy Sunday everyone!! Carvana delivered my new car yesterday, so I am finally able to go do things for myself again. It is SO liberating. Living in the boonies and not having a car is just not do-able for me. I didn't get an SUV this time, but I think the car I got has a big enough trunk for the hubby's wheelchair. Still…

Hi Skyelar and welcome!!! I'm Lynne, nice to meet you! I've been having a huge problem with getting out and moving also.

I'm sorry I've not been the best friend with responding to posts lately. My daughter has been in the hospital with something called Intussusception since Monday afternoon, and I have been a ball of stress and nerves. Between sitting with her all day during visiting hours ( she's 19 so an adult and they wouldn't let me stay…

Thank you so very very much for sharing! I am beyond dribbling to full out having accidents while I am out, which embarrasses the heck out of me. I picked up some depends today, size Large. I might try the reusables too, I am able to run though for now at home and generally only have dribbles, for which I am using period…

Thank you so much!!

Embarrassing question: best bladder leak product? Had an accident out walking today.

Huge huge hugs coming your way. My husband is also in horrible health, and we live on the doorstep of "just a matter of time now" . I'm here if you ever want to chat. I'm glad your hubby is feeling better today! That at least is a positive step.

I would love the pB cookie recipe if you have it? I do ginger tea for an upset stomach, with a bit of honey. My other go-to is hot black tea with milk and sugar. I also like toast or crackers like you suggested. Rice helps, just bland rice. It isn't tempting, but if I can't get anything down I'll make rice.

Huge hugs. Any updates on your son or husband? How are you feeling?

Ok, so minor gripes... I've been logging my food mostly on the app because of the bar code scanner, but for some reason the website eats all my dang logs!! For example, logged on here this morning to chat and no food recorded. *shakes fist* any tips? Also, I was out on a nice walk today and lost my glasses. I put them in…

Did it go Ok, Margaret?? Hopefully it is helping a bit, at least.

Those are such pretty beads!! I'm glad your past few days have been ok 😄

I did some soul searching and asked the new job if they could find a different position in the company with different hours. I am getting too old I guess to pull those kind of hours with 3-4 hours of sleep every day. They said no, and I resigned. They told me I could apply again when I have more "free time". I guess as a…

Thanks Margaret! I hear you about kiddos. I'm so sorry about your stepson and the drama, not fun at all. I hope things keep looking up for your balance issues! It went Ok last night, although I am going to have to figure out something to combat snacking, because it is really throwing my meal schedule off.

You are doing great Margaret!!! I'm sorry you are feeling so very rough. Sending hugs your direction. Been watching the baby while my oldest moves from her old apartment to a new one with her boyfriend and I have SO MANY mixed emotions about that. Not a fan I guess. Other than that, I finally got a job and start Monday.…
