I wanted to apologize for not weighing in for the last few weeks but my dad has been in the hospital. I know I have been dropped from the challenge and understand. I wanted to say thanks Falisha, for starting this challenge and developing and updating the chart each week. Even though it has been pretty stressful with my…

Oops forgot to post last week (see below). My dad ended up in hospital on Thanksgiving Day so didn't have to worry about eating too much. Never even got to eat turkey dinner at all. Darn, I was looking so forward to it. Current Weight (11/24/11): 173.3 Challenge Goal Weight (12/22/11): 165 Weight Category: REDUCE 9/1:…

Oops! Forgot to post my weight last time. I was out of town. It was 175 on 11/3 if it is not too late to report in. I will post this weeks on Friday morning. Hope my fun weekend in Chicago doesn't show on the scale! Tried to behave myself. Carol

I'm still here just been busy with company, work etc. I gained a couple of pounds this week but am back on track. Hard to stay motivated when the scale doesn't move in the right direction but I am determined to lose this weight. Had a binge day yesterday but it was the first one I've had since I started here in August. It…

Oops, gained 2 pounds. No problem, I'll lose it next week.

I'm down 0 .6 pounds this week. This is certainly a slow process for me. My biggest challenge is staying positive. That's what I am going to work on this week! Carol

Weight is 176.4 today. Lost 0.6 pounds this week. Doesn't sound like much but I have always been a slow loser even when I was on Weight Watchers. So I will be happy I am moving in the right direction no matter how slow it is. I have my mind made up to lose this weight and nothing is going to stop me, not even losing it at…

My weight today was 177.1. Moving slowly in the right direction! Another challenging weekend ahead. Flying to Seattle to babysit my 7 month old grandson. I won't have my usual snacks etc. that keep me on track & I will not be golfing or getting to Jazzercise. Hopefully it won't rain too much and I can get out for a walk or…

I weighed 177.7 today. Yeah!! I have a big challenge ahead of me this weekend. Going on a 3 days girl's golf weekend. Have to behave myself cause these girls like to eat and drink!

Met my first mini goal already!! I feel like I am finally making some progress. I'm headed to Lake Tahoe for a 3 day girl's golf weekend. This will be a challenge but I'm up for it!

I'm a lifetime member of WW having joined and rejoined numerous times over the last 20+ years. I need something to keep me accountable and I couldn't stand the thought of going to meetings again. So far, 1 week in, I am really liking MFP. You can friend me if you like. I can use all the support I can get.!

I know how you feel! I was saying the same thing a week ago. I needed something to keep me accountable for my weight and my eating habits and I stumbled onto MFP. One week down and I am loving it. No giant weight loss but wasn't expecting that, just keeping me reined in and aware of my eating habits. I feel like this is…

You look great! :flowerforyou:

I just started 3 days ago also and so far so good. I read your post and thought "Wow, this person is describing me........minus the youngest child in 4th grade". My youngest is 30 and I recently became a first time Grandma. I have joined and rejoined WW many times starting in 1971 when I was in high school. I still think…
