You're only an inch taller than me! :happy: And I agree every half-inch counts! :wink:

I'm 5'1.5" if anyone wants to add me and help keep me on track. :flowerforyou: I currently (or as of last I checked) weigh around 177 and trying to get to 125 lbs. or slightly lower. :bigsmile: Definitely need all the support I can get right now! :heart:

I understand this delima all too well. Sadly, after I lost a whole bunch of weight last year, I put a lot of it back on. That's where I'm at now. I'm trying to re-lose weight that should have stayed off last year, but didn't. I suspect not only stress, as has been said here and medications, but also just knowing that we…

Totally awesome! I hope I can get wonderful news like that when I go back in August (on my birthday no less lol :wink: :laugh: ). :smile:

My name is Christy and I've been PWD2 for almost 5 years now (it will be five years next month). I am 30 years young and live with my mom and brother (Steven) who are both my two biggest supporters and friends in the world (and our cat "Annie")! (We live in a suburb of Kansas City, known as Overland Park.) I didn't take…

Thanks everyone! I just returned inside from doing some more carpentry work. I am completely exhausted now, but feel great! I hope the scale likes me when I weigh in later this week. I don't see why it wouldn't! :bigsmile:

Hi all! I've been monsterously busy during the holidays; I mean c'mon I work at a cookie/ice cream store/cafe for crying out loud! So things are calming down, but my weight is still a ways up there. I have gained at least 2-4 pounds since last weighing in and posting here. However, I am slowly getting back on track. No way…

Oh my goodness! I was so shocked when I weighed myself today! I have lost 2 pounds since I last checked in here. beethedreamer...........................181.4...............................................175.8..................................................165…

I'm right back where I started! :laugh: But truth be told even though weight wise I'm back where I started, I feel better than I did when I started. I have more energy and my jeans are feeling a bit looser. :bigsmile:…

Oh great! A slight gain. :ohwell: beethedreamer...........................181.4...............................................174.6..................................................165…

I don't think we have weekly challenges, but someone correct me if I'm wrong. I know my personal challenge this week is to not over indulge in lunch because that's where I went horribly wrong last week.

Terrible! I knew I did terrible, but this was the worst I'd seen yet. I HAVE to get back on track this week...starting today! beethedreamer...........................181.4...............................................174.2..................................................165…

Great job everyone! I will have to weigh in tomorrow as today's been so hectic. As for my costume, I'm a "flower child" (a.k.a. a hippie :flowerforyou: ) I will post a picture (and add it to my profile) some time later this week as I said super busy this week. I do have a NSV to report, though. My jeans feel a tiny bit…

:smile: Thanks, Andrea. That's just what I needed to hear and why I needed to join a motivational and challenge group! Have a flower for your encouragement. :flowerforyou:

I'm a bit worried to weigh in on Monday. :frown: Things have gone crazy around here...I had an interview Tuesday, tried to take Steven (my brother) to and from work AND to a chiropractor yesterday (and I was late to pick him up on top of that), and I ate way too much breakfast yesterday. :sad: This does not seem like it's…

I feel like a stupid yo-yo! Up and down, up and down! Ugh! :grumble: :sad: beethedreamer...........................181.4...............................................178.4..................................................165…

I can tell you that I've never been offically diagnosed with arthritis, but it wouldn't surprise me any to learn I have it in my ankles, knees, and wrists. :ohwell: Thanks to basketball for my ankles and knees; thanks to working in a grocery store for the wrists. :grumble: I don't take any supplements, but I do use ice…

I just re-read the first part of this. So we were supposed to put our end of the year goal weight?! :huh: Oops! I put my long term goal weight! :blushing: Silly me! I'll update mine next week (too tired from work).

So I'd been battling a cold all last week and felt like all was going to heck in the handbasket, but I lost some weight and feel better now. The cold is almost gone and my blood sugar is back in check! Yay! :bigsmile: Name.................................Starting Weight.............................Current…

Even just moving your arms in circular motions (backwards and forwards) can sometimes help. I know they do these in retirement homes (a lot of my older relatives were/are in them). Good luck! I know you can do it!:flowerforyou:

Great job everyone! I hate to be the odd one out, thus far, but I GAINED a pound at 0.2! :sad: Guess it's because I was so busy and stressed about Steven (my brother) leaving for his business trip today. :frown: Name...................................Starting Weight.............................Current…

Sorry, I tried to copy and paste exactly, but I guess I missed you somehow. :blushing:

Sure, I'll add photos. Just one question (seeing as how I'm new and all), how do we add pictures?

My snacks vary, but lately it's an apple and peanut butter (or now that I've just discovered it, nutella) and some water to drink.

If it is not too late to join in, I'd love to join in! So I've added my info. And a bit about me? Hmm...I am 30 years young and live with my mom and brother (Steven) who are my two best friends in the whole world! I also work at Haagen Dazs/Nestle Toll House Cafe at the local mall and am a type 2 diabetic of 4 years. I…

Thanks everyone! Now I'm off to work and amazingly am not tempted (except when I am really hungry) by all the cookies, cupcakes, etc. there. (I work for Nestle Toll House Cafe/Haagen Dazs in case you're curious. :wink: )

Thanks! :smile:
