Hey everyone!! So sorry I've been missing so much on here!!! Life has thrown some curve balls my way but I'm ready to deal with them. The good news is that I'm maintaining and not gaining! However after the 6 hour hike today I hope to lose some this week!! Welcome to all of the new members, I wish you lots of success in…

Welcome to all the new people!!! You will love this site and this group!! I've been super busy with things and haven't had much time to come on let alone post. Plus it doesn't help when I don't get any emails that someone has posted. Does anyone get emails about this thread? I was doing so well with logging my food and…

Sorry I haven't been on much!! I wanted to say you are all doing GREAT!!! Keep it up, I'm so glad this thread is still going! I've been super busy and not much time to post. I have been in a slump with my weight for a week or so because I haven't had time to record but today on a whim I weighed myself and I was DOWN 1.2…

Glad you had a good trip to Finland! I was in Finland for 3 weeks in February and it was beautiful! However, I found it very hard to watch what I ate because I didn't understand the language and they have a lot of pastry based foods! Hope you get a good result on the scale!

Good luck everyone!! I'm worried that I'll be up, as I weighed myself (after lunch lol) and I was up. :(

Thank you coffeegirl!!

So proud of you all!! Coffeegirl, amazing success this weigh in!! Those of you that didn't lose, don't give up it takes time, trust me! I was down 1.8 lbs!!!!! Can't believe it, so happy and proud of myself! SW: 141 lbs LW:139.4 lbs CW: 137.6 lbs GW: 120 lbs Measurements are pretty well the same which I'm happy about, I…

Welcome Jenready!! Great job everyone!! Keep it up! Eiliason: I never thought about measuring my arms too!!! Great idea!

I had a better than expected weigh in this morning as since the accident I was in Saturday I've been doing very little exercise. I was down 1.4lbs but I still can't seem to get past 138lbs!! I will have to try harder once I feel better. Great job Lisa and arbragg!! Where is everyone else?

So proud of you all!!!! For me not so happy but I'm dealing with some hormonal issues at the moment and I'm blaming that. 4'11" Short I know!! SW 140lbs CW 140.2lbs GW 125lbs However, that being said I have been losing inches!! I will update my siggy now.

This what I call my Strawberry Mango Smoothie, it's delicious!! This makes about 1 cup or little over. If you type the name in MFP you should get the nutri info too. I added it so it should be public. Enjoy! Dannon Activia - Lowfat Peach Yogurt, 2 oz. Tropicana Pure Premium - Orange Juice - Lots of Pulp, 7 fl oz Kirkland…

Welcome Skinnymissy!! So happy to have new people joining!! Sorry if I do miss any of you it's just that I'm super busy and the review doesn't let me see everything, just know you are welcomed and we are all here to support you!! Coffeegirl: Very happy that you recorded it as it makes you see what you can strive to lose…

Please don't be discouraged I had a long while before I seen any changes also. It takes time for your body to adjust to a new routine so just stay motivated!! You CAN do it!! I'll do more in a minute, I can't see all of the messages! Also welcome cerealqueen! I will update my siggy with my measurements but I am down 1.2lbs…

So happy to see 3 more new members for our Thursday weigh in!!! WELCOME!!! aquavitae30: So happy that you got a gym membership and way to go on getting 2 years, that's commitment!!! In my opinion, though I'm guilty for it at times, you should not weigh yourself more than say twice a week if not less. This is because, as…

Coffeegirl, honestly I think we should always post our weigh ins good or bad because if it's bad it will make you see it and want to change it. If it is water, you will have a great loss next weigh in! Good luck hun, you're doing fabulous and we're all proud of you!!

Wow, 3 bites of steak. I wouldn't be able to do it!! I LOVE steak too much!! That being said, I don't eat it often but when I do I eat what I want. So I caved and weighed in today, I lost 1.2lbs!!!!! So stoked about it because I wasn't sure everything I was doing was working but I guess it just takes time! I really think…

Wanted to wish you all a good day for tomorrow, Tuesday!! I'm trying very hard but I'm not sure I'll see much difference yet but Thursday will tell.

You've said a lot of great things here, thanks. I will try to consider everything you've said. I did weigh myself today and was down 1 lb since Thursday's weigh in so I hope I keep it up. You've said a lot o

Thank you!! I appreciate it.

Thank you all so much, you are so great! I changed my diary to public, sorry I thought I had done it before but I didn't. We actually don't use salt in our everyday cooking because my bf's dad has an issue with that and my bf doesn't want the same problem. That being said yesterday we did have a traditional meal that…

I have nothing to add about the celiac disease but as for constipation, I know what works for my Irritable bowel. I take Magnesium Citrate nearly everyday, it was everyday but my bowels are finally working on a semi regular basis so I cut it back, with a large glass of water. You can get them at Walmart and I started out…

I am wondering the same thing. I think it does help but I'm not sure how much.

Welcome Shayleah!! Just keep checking in whenever you can!! I find I forget at times!! lol

Great success everyone!! So proud of you all, we got some big numbers there this time - way to go!!! Keep it up!! Coffeegirl, you're welcome I'm glad we have such a great group! Also, I may look into the sodium cutback this week. My results are not that great and I'm upset but in all honesty I'm blaming water intake or…

I'm nervous about tomorrow's weigh in because I've been weighing myself each day and seeing no change. I'm really getting frustrated at no weight loss!! I guess tomorrow will tell the full story! Anyone know if fasting for blood work will affect my results tomorrow? I started fasting last night and I go for blood work in a…

Thanks for the great info and welcome!!! I was worried about the starvation mode too as I haven't lost any weight yet but hopefully I will soon. Good luck to you!!!

Welcome, you're basically in the group now!! You just check back and weigh in on Thursday!! Good luck!

How is everyone doing so far this week? I had a good weekend and I've been trying to keep up with exercising but I ate out twice yesterday and will again on Thursday night, with my bf's collegues. So I need to plan ahead about what to order because I'm a fussy eater and tend to go with the steak as a safe option but I've…

Congrats on going to the gym!! It can be intimidating but you just need to remember it will all pay off in the end and most of the people are there for the same reason!! Also ask the staff to show you how to use the equipment if you don't know how to use them. I didn't at first and felt like a fool when I tried to use…

Welcome Rachel and CFaye!! Syreeta: Good luck with tomorrow's weigh in!! I'm having a hard time finding out how to find this thread, any idea how to make it easy??
