Hi everyone! My goal for October is to lose some weight every week for 5 weigh-ins, as of Sunday, Oct.6. I’m still over 200 lbs at about 208.8 , yo-yo-ing up and down. I can only weigh in about twice a week, once to check on progress and the second time is official . If I weigh in more often my mind goes nuts. And I can…

Hi everyone! Thnx to @dawnbgethealthy for this challenge. I can only check in from time to time, probably because I’m sort of shaky about my wt loss journey at this crucial point, yo-yo-ing up and down. But I’ve lost a teensy bit since last time , down 0.6 lbs So I’m at 208.8 for now I think my goal for Oct 26 was 195 . Ha…

Hey everyone! Thanks to group admin and all participants for this very necessary challenge. It’s Sept. 27 and I may have lost the final bit for September. down -0.6 , so checking in at 208.8 .

Hi @selenemoon333 and other peeps in this MFP / OA group ! I guess , WELCOME BACK ! And Excellent Share .

It’s rarely more that three pages to read at a time. It’s…

Question 4. of the OA READINESS QUESTIONNAIRE I . Do I eat sensibly in front of others and then make up for it when I am alone? I used to binge like that when I was younger , but I seem to have beaten the problem. These days I feel better off staying closer to my food plan .

Let’s get some new peeps answering some of these OA READINESS QUESTIONNAIRE QUESTIONS ! Pretty PLEASE with sugar on it ?? Although for the BEST BENEFIT , any one answering these questions ought to do it for themselves in the order they are written down . But you can select any one of them to post about! Thnx !

Question 3. of the OA READINESS QUESTIONNAIRE I . Here’s another example of how to answer Question 3. Do I have feelings of guilt, shame, or embarrassment about my weight or the way I eat? Yes.

Hey everyone! Just a friendly random check-today . I’m still in this group. I’ve been yo-yo-ing up and down for a long long time.

Hey everyone! I still belong to this group . I’m stressed out and brain fogged so can only post once in a while . Last weigh-in, I lost and was 209.4 .

BUT today it seems to me there are a couple of dozen OA-Approved guidelines on how to run different types of OA meetings. If one peruses the OA TWELVE STEP WORKSHOP AND STUDY GUIDE…
