Hair---I am so happy you made it. You are strong and invincible! Have a marvelous rest of the day and good for you on the walk as well.

Huntress, the first week I was on here I gained 3 pounds. Talk about being discouraged. However, I kept at it and it came back of and then some. I still have times like that. I will lose 1/2lb and gain 2 then I will lose 1. I just keep trying again and again because eventually it has got to go somewhere or I will need to…

Wow Carol, what an awesome story. 20 years is a wonderful accomplishment. Glad your still here after the surgery as well.

Hairspray, Thanks gor the giggle with the video, I really needed that! T2- A big WAHOO/IPOU you cetainly deserve a big round of applause TA- If only you knew how evil I really am..bawhaabwhaaaa Snooz- Glad you made it home in one piece. 6S- I have a similar problem with my Jeep. have to turn the key over twice to crank her…

Good Morning my friends, It is going to be a hot one here in GA today. I hope that all of you stay cool and hydrated..hint (drink your water)! I love coming here and reading all of your posts, they inspire me to do better. As for the emotional eating/drinking, I have made a few strides this week. I have increased my…

Hi Kathy, I don't use a food scale to measure simply because I don't have one. I do however, use a measuring cup or spoons when possible. Meats I generally try to use the (deck of cards) sizing. Since December 20th or there abouts I have lost 38lbs. It seems to be working for me as well. I know at some point I might need…

Chocolate covered espresso beans. 5 beans=34 calories!

Leslye, I have never taken any supplements so I am not the one to answer your question. I do hear talk here on the forums about sodium and eating twice the amount in potassium. I'm not sure if this will help you but thought I would throw it out there. I have a hard time with sodium. Not that I eat alot of it but it sure…

Good Morning Ladies, I have not had a great weekend and according to the scales have gained 6lbs since last Wednesday. I weigh every morning but only count what I weigh on Wednesday's. I have a real problem with stress/emotional eating and drinking. I am working to change these habits but they are hard ones to break.…

Leslye, I too know how this feels. There are times when I want to throw that damn scale right out the window. Then I calm down and realize that I didn't get this way over night. There will be weeks that you have a loss ans weeks that you have a gain. Yes, the gain sucks but you just have to move on and try again. I wanted…

Thanks, to all of you who inspire me to be a healthier person. I think that we as women have a tendancy to kick ourselves when we are down. How we break that viscious cycle I haven't a clue at the moment, but my hope is that we can learn to love and make our lives healthier for us and those we love. Make this the best day…

Good evening everyone, It has been a busy day and I hope you are are well and happy. My Fitbit is syncing so I am a happy camper! I did several things so not sure what happened to make it work. T2- it is easy to sync it to MFP just go to Tools click on the fitbit section and follow the instructions. Thanks Maizie for the…

Hair- The Fitbit is like a pedometer on steroids. It keeps track of your calories burned, steps and miles walked, and how many flights of stairs climbed. It synchronizes with MFP so that calories earned by walking can be used as excercise. It will even keep track of your sleep pattern if you so choose. I have a very…

I unistalled the software and reinstalled last night. I hope that it will work today. I have also sent them an email so hopefully it will work soon. I love mine and this is the second one for me. The first one...:blushing: went for a swim and didn't survive. I hope you have a marvelous day and let's get hydrated!

thanks for the inspiration Snoozie, this is something I need to work on. I have a habit of coming home from work and opening the refrigerator to see what I can find to eat. Today we are throwing a wedding shower for a co-worker and it will be tough to turn down snacks and cupcakes. Hmm, I will have to make decisions. I…

PS- ice packs and frozen peas are great for the night sweats and hot flashes.....

Oh how I have awoken at some point in the evening wondering where that horrible sound was coming from and how did my throat get so dry. I have never thought of myself as a snorer...there were ex-husbands that had that title. Now I find myself waking to these sounds almost nightly whether it is on the couch or in bed. I am…

Hello fellow Hatters, I totally flaked out yesterday on posting. Monday's are horrid for me. I even missed posting my diary because I fell asleep on the couch. I hope all of you have a great day and make it the best you can. As bisland says...hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. It does make a huge difference. I am through with…

Good Sunday Morning to all of you, I am heading out in a bit to get some yard work done before we get our afternoon pop up storms. Thankfully mother nature has added water to the pool so that is one less chore for me today. I wish I had a pool boy some days:bigsmile: Anita-IPOU on giving the bars to your husbands office.…

Bisland- hope you have a great day. Enjoy your dress and your acts of kindness.

Good evening my fellow hatters, I am new to this whole chat thing so look out cause I could really screw it up. I hope all of you had a great day. I did participate in the water challenge today for a total of 16 (8oz) glasses. Now before you throw things at me know that I have an aversion to soda and hate sweet tea. Other…

Happy Friday! Love, love, love the song snoozie. We should make it a Friday tradition lol. I hope every one here has a great day and I will pop on here and there to chat ~t

Miralax works wonders.

It was a picture I saw of myself Christmas 2011. I knew I was way overweight but hadn't really thought about it. After seeing that picture and thinking of what my life had become it was time. A friend had told me about MFP and I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. Now 37lbs lighter I am still working toward my…

I love the Greek, but then again I like tart or sour things. I mix my cereal with it (I don't like milk cause it makes it soggy).

Tequila!

At work: I came back from lunch and there was a lovely behind sticking out from under my desk. (he works in IT). Now, 14 years later here we are.

Every Wednesday I hop on the scale if I am at home (vacation and such) whatever it says is what I put as my check in. some days are better than others but I always log it.

First and formost I am very sorry for the loss of your beloved. I too, know the heartache of losing a pet. Almost 2 months later I can say it does get easier and the laughter over silly things comes more often. I sometimes still expect to see Zeke standing at the gate to greet me but I know that he is in a much better…

Marvelous! Nothing like a smaller size to motivate us even more.
