Best of luck to you!

I'm sorry. My cat is very old and every day I expect to find her gone. I read my daughter a story about it tonight to sort of prepare her for it and ended up crying through the whole thing myself. It's sad when you lose a friend.

You can look at mine, but it is pretty boring. I think it is open.

I'm almost in the same boat. I'm 5'3" and a bit and weight 138 right now, would like to get down to 115-120. I have been on MFP or almost 3 months and did WW for about 6 months before that, and I cannot lose any weight. I have been stuck at 138 for months. I exercise at least four times a week (swimming, elliptical,…

Thanks for the reply - I really appreciate the encouraging words. I am leaving tomorrow for a short trip and will not be as in control of my food as I would like (all restaurants all the time!) I will be bringing apples and other nibbles that will help me control my appetite for the bad stuff and am going to do my best…

Congratulations on your weight loss and your degree! I would look into starting with a C25K program (couch to 5K). I completed one last year and I went from hardly being able to run at all to running three miles without a problem. As you progress, there's also a 10K program and then a marathon training program. Just google…

That's wonderful!!! Congratulations on your weight loss!!! I know that has got to feel great.

I'm not doing well. I have been exercising and eating right and haven't lost anything. I think I am actually up a pound from the start weight. I haven't entered my weight for the past two weeks because I am just too frustrated to do it. I am trying not to let the disappointment and frustration and anger be a reason to just…

:laugh:

I did a couple of years of full contact MMA classes twice a week. Started when I was 40. I loved them, but had to quit because the kicking exacerbated an already existing back condition. I loved those classes - never felt stronger than when I was kicking and punching and running. I feel like it is something you can…

I'm in! Will take the initial tests tomorrow (Wednesday) and post results.

I'm feeling pretty frustrated myself as I have been working hard and exercising, eating right, etc. but have managed to gain about 1.5 pounds since starting. I don't feel like it is muscle because I haven't drastically changed anything in my exercise routine. I will continue to persevere, but my confidence is waning.

Hi! I just cancelled WW too! I couldn't get my head around points and couldn't figure out my exercise calories vs. daily calories and lost NO weight at all. Now I'm back to MFP, where I was able to lose about five pounds last time around so I think I will stick around here for a while!

I'm 42 and struggling as well. Add me!

Today for lunch I had 3 scrambled egg whites (one whole egg) with mushrooms and green onions with a slice of toast. I wasn't hungry until about 4:30.

Somehow I managed to gain .4 this week. :explode: Obviously I am not happy with that. I will be upping my exercise as best I can (I have a couple of physical injuries/limitations at the moment), though I don't think I can reduce my calories any further than the current 1200. I guess I will keep plodding along and hoping my…

I'm in! I would like to lose two pounds (though one would be an achievement at this point - I actually gained a half pound this week, despite best efforts on diet and exercise. I am starting a swim class on Tuesday and aim to get in two weights classes and two cardio sessions on the elliptical and maybe one yoga class. I…

Hi, I'm Katy. 42. Proud lifelong feminist. I am thankful I didn't see the thread that started this (I'm returning after a few months away), but am happy that it caused this group to be formed!

Hi, I'm Katy. I've been stalled in my weight loss for a long time and really need to focus one it, so this challenge is a good way for me to keep going for the long haul. I am 5'3" and weigh 138.5. Let's go!!!
