I'm sure you'll achieve it!

BTL: AWESOME JOB!!!! How exciting to reach that goal! I am MORE than sure that you will accomplish your Sept goals! Keep it up! :drinker:

Malia all of your recipes sounds so scrumptious!!! Keep them coming bc I'm DEF going to be trying them out... :smile:

Givens, you are absolutely right... I would never do that. I treat knowledge as something that should be passed down and kept in motion, not selfishly maintained (only to be lost by time). Besides, every we look at that name (in the future) it'll be a reminder of EVERYTHING we put in to get to our goals and results and…

HAHAHAHAHA!!! OMG totally LOL'd at this... But for real, not just saying it.

I think you'll be please with my week long challenge Mark. :wink:

I'm glad to see us all back in action and the same as ever! :smile: Mark WELCOME BACK!!!

Making changes are NEVER easy, but at least some ideas help. The key is WANTING to change... Many addicts don't want to change, they enroll in those programs feeling pressured by family/loved ones and it'll never work until THEY want to make the change. Even then it is HARD.

I'm pretty sure that I can say that we all missed you too... dward, do you have any opposing thoughts. :wink: lol

Got my 9 cups in... Only bc I noticed it was almost midnight and I was missing 2 cups to make my goal... I chugged those 2 cups like I was an undergrad again chugging beer at a college party for a challenge. :wink: OMG!!! My body feels like there is an aquarium in my stomach, but other than that... I'm happy I made the…

I didn't log them, bc I didn't log my food... And I didn't think that would be fair. :wink:

You are right... We do need to check up on Mark, although I have seen he's been logging... Its unfortunate that MFP does not allow us to access the groups from smartphones, bc it would make life SO much easier... Especially when I'm on the go... (i.e. this weekend).

BTL thank you so much for your kind words... It is I, though, who am lucky to have stumbled across such a FANTASTIC group of people in my meager attempt of creating a group for motivational purposes. I NEVER dreamed that it would be filled with such inspiring and motivational people. You all make "moderating" easy, and…

You're next best alternative sounds YUMMY!!! I might have to try it. :wink:

I just recently bought this "trail mix" Archer Farms (target brand) Dark Chocolate Espresso Trail Mix and I portioned it out the day I brought it home and they are sitting conveniently in Ziplock snack bags just waiting to be picked up and tossed into my bag. BTW... DELISH!!! You DEF have to try if you like chocolate, or…

You might want to google "low impact exercises" that you can do at the gym to help avoid some of that pain. I don't know any at the top of my mind, but it might help... DEF check out what your Dr. recommends though, he/she is the professional :wink: and probably knows what's best for you and how to ease the symptoms of…

Givens, I can already tell that I'm going to enjoy your sense of humor. :smile:

Where in Nebraska??? I worked for Boys Town, although here in FL; but my 2 week training was in Omaha at the Boys Town village. :smile: Very nice people in Omaha.

CC: OMG 3.7 lbs in ONE week?! GREAT JOB!!! And traveling?! I'm DEF going to need some of your tips. :wink: Briana: Great job at losing 2.4 lbs!!! And I am looking forward to seeing more fantastic weight loss from you from now on. :bigsmile: Oh, and WELCOME to our group!!! :happy: dward: Oh, my.... Yes, if there is one…

What a FANTASTIC idea!!! DEF something that at least should be attempted. :wink:

ha ha ha... OMG I almost spit out my "water". LMFAO!!! :laugh:

Although, I DEF would've said planning... I also want to take a step back and remember that sometimes things don't go according to plan. :wink: I mean we don't live in a controlled environment so a helpful tip I'd like to put out there for all is... Log your calories for your meal BEFORE you sit down to eat it. It helps…

As you'll notice, at the beginning of my post the quote states beverages (so all things liquid count towards your "water" intake). I just didn't feel the need to put water/beverages/liquids and keep it simple to just water... If everyone read the small quotation they'd understand that it applies to all beverages. Although,…

Great job!!! That DEF is a motivational NSV to continue! :smile:

Any of our new members interested in posting on this discussion?

Although, it isn't Sunday; I'm here! :smile: This weekend was SUPER busy for me, so I was MIA; but I'm still here and very much PRESENT. You all are inspiring to me, and a huge motivation to keep up my weight loss goals. Thanks for being such a FANTASTIC group and my buddies. :bigsmile:

This is a FANTASTIC idea! Great for a DC!!!! Let's see what everyone comes up with. :smile:
