We will do this together! FYI-This board is awesome; so much positivity and support! I lost 60 lbs. with MFP several years back and of course got lax and gained it back. You are ahead of me on the gym, still trying to decide on the right one for me especially since I love water Zumba. Heather - You lool awesome in that…

Happy March 1st!- I am so glad that I was able to find this group of lovely ladies again! Only had time to skim the posts but I recognize a lot of old faces and and welcome to all the new ones! Unfortunately, during my time away from MyFitnessPal, I put the weight back on. :/ But the good news is that I am not defeated;…

Hello everyone, Enjoying a restful Sunday but excited about going for a long walk with DH and maybe the dogs too after the Bears game. Trying to get motivated to get my de-cluttering done since tomorrow is D-day- the start-up of school again! Time to get off my computer but I did read everyone's posts and welcome to all…

Just wanted to pop by for a quick hello! It was horrible weather for volunteering at recycling drive. I had the foresight to wear my winter coat and gloves since it was rainy, cold and windy but wore gym shoes instead of boots. My socks and shoes were soaked at the end of the two hours. Hopefully won't get sick! Tried a…

Good evening, I put the MFP app on my new smartphone last night so hopefully that will help me stay on track with logging my food again. I did log every last bite today and was doing well until I caved and got dessert with dinner (ate out tonight). Oh well, I will dust myself off and try better tomorrow. No more eating out…

Happy October dear ladies! Once again I have been MIA but this time I am determined to be back for good! I have managed to put back on 20 of the original 60 pounds that I lost so I am renewing my commitment to MFP and all of you here. I start my new classes next week-Criminology, Sociology and another dreaded math class. I…

Hi all, Thanks to those who remembered me and gave me such a warm welcome back! :smile: I am trying very hard to be consistent and on my second day of logging again, yay me. Second day with the new job and even though it is a little stressful with so much to learn, everyone is extremely friendly and my immediate boss seems…

Good Morning Lovely Ladies :heart: Sorry that I have been MIA once again! I definitely realize that I need to come back hear more often for all of your great support and to catch up with your busy lives! Even though I physically have not logged on for quite awhile, I think about you all often. Back in school for my fourth…

Happy April 1st All!:flowerforyou: Only have a few minutes since I have to get ready for work but at least I popped on here and logged my food until dinner. And no, my lunch will not be Taco Bell! Yes, Barbie- we did break up for good. :laugh: I have some tough decisions to make about my future, so those that believe in…

Ok, moment of truth! Yes, I have been missing in action for quite awhile now. The good news-after my first two quarters of school, I'm doing much better than I ever thought I would! Made Dean's list both times! This next quarter I have two classes instead of three but I think I'm up for it. Work is almost done since tax…

Sylvia-Your husband must be my husbands twin! :laugh: He too finally voiced feelings that he wants to lose weight ad then promptly buys the Value Size box of Fruit Loops at the grocery store. I try so hard to be supportive and not lecture but seriously... Joyce-Great news that you can drop the cholesterol meds!…

"What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year." ~Vern McLellan Happy New Year! I finished out this year with A's in both my classes, yay, and by getting very sick over the holidays, boo! But on the plus side, thanks to stronger antibiotics and other meds slowly starting to feel…

Updated my ticker to reflect the added pounds :frown: But at least I'm doing something about it and am logging my food again! I thought I would just be able to maintain until 1-1 without logging but I was wrong. I think my daughter is right and I actually am not eating enough calories. Here's to getting back on track…

Happy December 1st! :flowerforyou: Didn't do well with goals for November, so I am going to keep it simple for this month! Drink 64 oz. of water daily-really slacked off on water intake Focus on the positive things/people in my life-went through a rough patch with negativity last month Cut out the junk food-been too…

Joyce, I too am thankful for all my fur babies! They are breaking the bank lately with different illness but I would not trade any of them! And when my son and daughter-in-law come next week for Thanksgiving, they will be bringing their lab! :laugh: Congrats on getting your shopping done early, haven't even started yet!…

Happy Sunday! Very rainy and dreary here with a lot of thunderstorm warnings and tornado warnings popping up. I am grateful that the weather is not worse! I always get nervous with storms since we flooded two years in a row, in 2006 and 2007, so just staying close to home today. If the weather clears up later, I hope to…

Good Evening! I am thankful that I am getting my myself and my marriage back on track again. Also, I am thankful, that although I have been absent here for quite awhile that it feels like coming home, reconnecting with all you wonderful women! Today my DH and I met up with some dear friends that we have not seen for at…

Hi All, :flowerforyou: The dreaded algebra class is done and I survived and even ended up with a 98%! Now I only have five more weeks of psychology, but I'm doing really well in that right now, probably because it's so interesting! My big paper will be on stress management and I'm sure that I'll learn some interesting…

Good afternoon ladies! Sorry I have been MIA for so long! School is going good, in fact my algebra final is on Wednesday. We have a new addition-a $5 kitten we adopted from our local shelter last month. They had this adoption special because they were so overcrowded. Well, he ended up getting sick with pneumonia, a…

Yay for me! I'm finding my groove with school and have all my assignments done through Saturday, so I don't have to stress with work tomorrow and Thursday! Taking advantage of all the resources the campus has to offer! :happy: Went to Water Zumba last night and off to go to tonight's class pretty soon. Still not logging…

Finally, with DH's help, got my hall closet cleaned out this afternoon. We threw a lot of clutter away and can actually walk into it now! :happy: I'm pleasantly surprised that we are actually getting along at the moment, maybe it made a difference that I didn't have to work at all this weekend. I don't feel stressed…

Orientation at school was very informative and feeling a little less overwhelmed and stressed about starting classes on Monday. :smile: Maybe if I focus on this chapter of my life, other things will fall into place. But, with that being said, I ate horribly today and I really have to force myself to start logging my food…

Just dropping in to say HI and mark my spot, so I don't get too far behind. All ready for orientation tomorrow at the college, even did my nails (dark blue :wink: ), which I haven't done in forever! Drama at work but at least I have Sunday off, so I will actually have a whole weekend. I hear a closet calling my name to…

Wow, lots of posts since I was on yesterday!! :smile: My personal life is still in shambles but I'm happy to report that doing random acts of kindness makes me feel better! Not much else to report but just wanted to catch up and check in. Very stiff and sore today so taking an exercise break and bed is calling my name.…

Good morning lovely ladies! It is another gorgeous day here with abundant sunshine! :happy: I'm very glad to be back here with all of your awesome stories and support! No time for individual comments unfortunately, but especially enjoyed reading the four legged critter tales! Think I'm starting to calm down a little about…

Happy October 1st!! Sorry I have been MIA for so long!!! September has been a month of many changes for me, some good, some not so good. I'm almost down 60 lbs. since last June but if I had to do it all over again, I'm not sure I would. Only because, in the end, it may cost me my marriage. I knew my DH never really wanted…

What I am looking for is not out there, it is in me. - Helen Keller

Missing all of you like crazy!! Not getting my daily dose of Vitamin F. :grumble: Crazy schedule with work and other commitments and starting to feel like I'm running on empty. Just wanted to let you all know how important and special you all are!:flowerforyou: No more time. Off to shower and meet with President of…

Happy August 1st! :flowerforyou: I can't believe it's the start of a new month already! July really flew by! I'm stress eating already today-3 tablespoons of my precious Skippy. Haven't done that in a long time! I started the new job last night. The job itself won't be bad especially since I have a strong market research…

I know I sound like a broken record but I feel so blessed that I have this thread of lovely women to keep coming back to again and again! I love sharing my ups and downs with you all and hearing about your lives and offering my support and encouragement to all of you!! :heart: All of you keep me motivated! :flowerforyou:…
