Here's to a new start. Follow-up appointment with the doctor today. Blood levels are still a little high, but have went down some. Thyroid ate stable, which is a good thing. The doctor would like me to lose 23 pounds by my next visit. So time to get back on track all the way. According to the doctors scale I have lost 7…

Life struggles have hit me hard these last couple of weeks. It is time for me to get back on track. I did manage to lose a pound, without tracking or exercise.

Thanks for sharing, can't wait to try

I have taken a week off from tracking food, exercise and basically doing anything. My male friend, who had became my lover, best friend and my everything next to my daughter. Decided to move to another state to be with his family. :( We said out good-bye on Thursday, May 29, I didn't feel like doing anything after that, I…

This gives me hope and encouragement. Thanks for sharing.

Way to go, your making a great new start.

I have to vent this has been an emotional roller coaster for me the last couple of weeks. My male friend of 16 months is leaving tomorrow to move to another state. I have known now for two weeks, but last night it hit me hard. I am so upset and have been crying all night and most of the day. I know it is for the best that…

The holiday weekend wasn't that good. I didn't do any exercise or watch what i ate at all. The last time i exercise was Thursday and i had plenty of adult drinks this weekend. I really fell off the band wagon and felt guilty about it. Since i felt so bad and i was off yesterday, i went to the gym in the middle of the day…

I weight myself once a week, usually a Monday, early in the morning. Some days i do find myself weight myself every moring, but i only record the Monday numbers.

Don't be frustrated, the scale may not be moving, but you could be losing inches. I am like Jolene_CO, the scale will stay the same for some many days or increase, then days later it drops. I think it is just our body adjusting. For me it also depends on what time of the day i get on the scale. hang in there, you will see…

Great job everyone!! This week has been great for me as well. I slipped up a couple of days without exercise because my body said it was tried. Other than that it has been great. Since i have been going to the gym, i have been averaging 5-6 hours a night of sleep. I was always in bed 9-9:30 before we started exercising. (I…

I really like skinnytaste.com, almost everything we have tried i have liked.

NSV today, I had a jacket I couldn't fit. Couldn't even close it a couple of weeks ago. Today, I out on the jacket and was able to zip it up. It is still a little tight, but I was able to zip it. I was so excited. The little things that keep us going. I also lost almost 2 pounds this week. It is such an inspiration to do…

heck out skinnytaste.com, she has a lit of great meatloaf recipes. My family and I love her turkey meatloaf.

I have been making meals from skinnytaste.com, most of the meals are the same types of meals my family has always eaten. They are just healther version. I have found they don't even know the difference unless they see me prepare the food or ask. Other times they are like don't ever fix that again. lol The hardes part of…

My long term weight loss goal is to reach 145-130lb, to be in the healthy BMI. Short term I would like to lose weight to get my sugar and cholesterol levels down, so I won’t have to take any medication. Short and long term, I would love to be able to walk without being out of breath and being able to cross something off my…

Hi my name is Serena, I am a little nervous about joining this group, but i need some motivation and accountability. This is my second go around with MFP, the first time I lost almost 40 pounds, about two years ago. I have since gain those 40 pounds back plus 10. I am ready for this new start. I not only want to do this…

That is wonderful news, I am hoping to have the same result when i got back for my follow-up in June. My recent test in January, showed i was borderline diabetic, very low vitamin D and high cholesterol. Doctor said if numbers don't come down i will need meds. Not trying to take any more medicine.

You look great!!

What is the challenge?

Great job, you look wonderful!

I want to try also, would love to get the meal plan. Thanks

I would like in also, 20 pounds by Christmas would be great. What do I need to do to join this challenge?

Way to go!! you look great

Great job and inspiration. Thanks for the motivation, you look great.

I have the same issues with Vitamin D, my levels were so low for a couple years in a row. I now take a prescription of Vitamin D once a week. I have always had stomach issues, so i don't see a difference as far as that is concerned. You might want to speak to your doctor and see if they have any suggestions. Maybe see if…

Way to go, you look so great

Check out skinnytaste.com, there is a lot of crock pot meals and other ideas you could fix on a griddle, or on top of the stove. There is even ideas for non bake foods. Hope this helps.

That sure does make it worth it, i can't wait until that day comes for me. Great job!! What makes it worth it for me when the doctor says, you are at a good weight, then i know i will be around to see my daughter grow up.

I am so proud of you, what a stories to give great motivation. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you much success in continuing your journey.
