Weight this morning is 282 No loss/gain for me this week...

I joined a gym....lots of new things for me to try in there...

Wonderful pic! Too early on my journey for before and after, but maybe I'll take a pic of a sack of potatoes...representing my weight loss so far :)

Ugh...not feeling very inspired today... Anyone else want to share??

Welcome Danna :)

Log it all and then start tweaking things. Eventually you will find ways to eat healthier and within your calorie budget. Must be hard though with no exercise...maybe an exercise video for seniors....stuff they can do from a chair. Maybe special physical therapy stuff? Must be some things that can be adapted to your…

Another Monday...I honestly didn't want to get out of bed...I was so warm and comfortable :) Anyway, made it out of bed and working through my Monday. Hope we all have a good week!

Congrats on making the goal...way to go!

Every lb counts! Congratulations:) don't forget fluid fluctuations will show up on the scale...it's the scale ultimately going down over time that shows you yes! you are going the right way... As for me: Weight this morning was 282 Lost 2 lbs :):) I'm sure one of those is thanks to a big poo just prior to weighing in...and…

Happy Monday all... Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday :) Had a great week, including Thanksgiving...lost a lb, was within my calorie goal 5/7 days, but made it under goal for the week...thanks to some extra walking days! Sue

I'm not a big pie fan, so resisting dessert was not hard for me. Mashed potatoes and stuffing are my faves...I didn't try to resist...I indulged, but didn't over do it. I am having trouble staying out of leftover carbs, so they'll go in the trash today. I also think I'll restrict my carbs a bit today and Mabel tomorrow to…

Weight today 284 Lost 1 lb :) One holiday down...2 more to go!

I do a bit of both. I try to pack my food for work, and I love cooking on weekends , but I have my go to foods that I can grab in the event my plans fail :) I also think food is both fuel and pleasure, but my problem is that I tend to view it more as pleasure...I'm swinging the pendulum back towards the middle, and I…

Planning and moderation...my two theme words for the week :) ...well, maybe one more...exercise :) I'll log on Friday and let you know how it went!

This was on my Facebook this morning: "If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If it's not, you'll find an excuse." It smacked me upside the head a bit...ouch...I've spent a good portion of my life making excuses...

I'm having the hardest time posting this morning...looks like it's not a very happy Monday :( Honest Monday...overspent my calorie budget for yesterday....trip to Denny's last night...but on the bright side, Idid stay within my calorie goal for the week :) @Holdenke1 congrats on the 2 lb loss, way to go :) I'm still…

Weight today was 285 Lost 2lbs :):)

Too busy to do this yesterday, but better late than never, haha! "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." - Thomas A. Edison Inspiration for the week...stolen from rainman3k ;)

I'm not taking the week off...I'm currently involved in another group and the goal is to lose despite the holidays. My plan is to measure everything...have my favorites...log it all...plus get in some extra exercise to give me some wiggle room :) A few years ago I was doing really well, I had lost 61 lbs, and then…

So far the shakes and the protein bars are working well...continuing to lose a lb a week...even through my period :)

Today is not such a happy Monday...I'm stuck at work while the family has the day off :/ Actually I'm lucky to have a job, so let me change that-happy, happy Monday :) Anyway, had a good weekend...did manage to drag my butt out of bed and walk both Saturday and Sunday, but it was amazing that I tried to talk myself out of…

I know how hard it is to resist food like that...I probably would have eaten it all :) Keep your head up and continue on-Monday is another chance to do it right! If you haven't yet tossed the left overs-I would definitely do it...I had to toss out a whole bunch of Halloween candy because I simply couldn't stay out of it :(

Looove margaritas :) Weight this morning was 287 Lost 1lb :) Hope you all have a great weekend...

Yeeesss! Happy hump day :) My new thing this morning is to drink a protein shake before I leave for work. I'm hoping that it will help to curb some hunger, plus give me a little extra protein, fiber, and nutients. Yesterday I was so hungry all day, I ended up eating over my calorie goal. So far so good today, though :)…

My inspirational thought for the week comes from a fortune cookie... "Some people never have anything except ideas. Go do it..." Also, I've become a stalker, and have found a rockstar blogger. Not only has he lost I think around 140 lbs, but he's an incredible writer, and very thought provoking... I can't seem to copy and…

Way to go on the 6 mile hike:) And keep going! If we work this program, it will work for us...

Happy Monday, honest Monday...I had to go out of town for three days and one of the days had to eat buffet food for both breakfast and lunch. Needless to say I consumed nearly all my calories for the day by the afternoon. Fortunately, I was saved by the fitness center in the hotel and after an hour and twenty minutes I had…

Had to weigh a day early because I'm out of town Weight 288 Lost 1 lb this week:)

I have discovered Luna bars and I am in love :):):) they taste good, but also leave me feeling full so I'm not tempted to snack so much! It's getting pretty quiet in here....I hope that those from the east coast are doing ok...

Ok, so my inspirational moment this week comes from the Oprah show...the quote was "whatever follows 'I am' will eventually come back to find you"... I usually try to be a pretty positive person, but have caught myself a few times following 'I am' with something negative or maybe just non-productive...
