Enjoyed my Canada Day with my hubby for a couple hours alone - we walked around the park. Happy 4th to you in the south (my brother lives in Ohio). July needs to be a better month for me. Yes, I'm changing lifestyle but want to see more movement on the scale. Have to get tough with myself and stay out of the kitchen…

Checking in. Trying to drink 8/day! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Sorry this is my first post in several days. No weight loss to report this week due to my laziness...where's that slipper????? This month I only lost 2 lbs after losing 8 last month. Sheesh. Went clothes shopping again today - needed pjs that I couldn't swim in. Bought 2 pair - one for now and one size smaller for later.…

li4g - awww. My condolences.:cry: lorann - congrats on finding your second wind. That has happened to me many times. Go even if you don't feel like it. crazybee - go for the bike if you want to. I started riding this month after 6 years of ignoring my NEW bike in the shed. It's a great way to exercise the legs and enjoy…

Hello to all the newbies! You don't have to be crazy to join this group, but it helps! :laugh: I too want to get on the bandwagon for planning meals. June has been a bad month and therefore little weight loss. :frown: My goal is to lose 20 lbs by end of August - only down 3 so far. On the positive, I can fit into all my…

li4g - you are evil, I love it :devil: Kristi - I too tend to "celebrate" or "indulge when I'm stressed". Glad your still with us. IG - Way to go, fellow wogger! I still push myself over the "I can't" part of my walk. No exercise for me tonight - hubby working evenings again today and tomorrow. :grumble: Only did 3…

Hey gang, want to report I went the gym tonight and worked on the elliptical. Haven't used it in a couple months. Burned 700 calories, most of it sweat from the heat I'm sure. Drank all of my water bottle TWICE. That has never happened. It's only June for heaven's sake! Hurray for exercise anyway!:wink: li4g - way to go…

Hey just wanted to post now because I FINALLY read all the posts! lol its good we are so chatty. Everyone can find the encouragement they need, when they need it. Doing well on calories today and yesterday but Tuesday was a wash - felt horrible and couldn't exercise because hubby was working. Went shopping and to the…

IG - Wahooooo! You did awesome. We are so proud of you. Welcome to the newbies :drinker: I am 40 yrs old, married with two grown stepdaughters and a 3 yr old sweetheart. I am staying home with her and running a home daycare. I have lost weight before but enjoy it this time because of my family and the MFP girls. I wouldn't…

li4g - congrats on quitting smoking!!!!:flowerforyou: You are going to smoke around the race track instead - :bigsmile: pawprint - welcome, I have a pair of size 13 jeans I can wear now that I kept as incentive (was in size 20).

Marking the thread to post later. :bigsmile:

IG - So sorry you are suffering so. You and he are in my prayers. Today I went to Walmart instead of the gym - day off. Not really that exciting. Ate pretty much within limits so tomorrow should be a good day on the scale. Proud of myself for eating 2 healthy snacks today instead of eating too much at meal times. We get…

Li4g - :grumble: I feel for you. You shouldn't have to fight for what is yours. I too copied the recipes you posted. Yumm. Sheila - hang in there. IG - the heat is a killer but you will be fine once you put one foot in front of the other. :drinker: We are with you in spirit. My ground turkey wrap was really good tonight.…

My computer was only showing me the first page of this thread all weekend. I knew people were posting, but I couldn't see it. anyway, your all back now and boy were you busy! lulu - I have not lost any weight in june and am feeling the same frustration yu are. I have been going over on calories because I was hungry. This…

I have no weight loss to report :grumble: this week. I must have starved my body and now I am fighting to get it back to burning fat instead of storing it. The scale just keeps going up instead of down. :devil: I WILL defeat the scale - sooner or later I WILL WIN. Today I dragged out my bike. Bought it 6 yrs ago and have…

My hubby got called in to work an evening one day last week (not his fault) and I was in a funk for the whole day. Why do we get like this? Why do husbands abandon their responsibilities????

li4g - hurray!!!! :flowerforyou: I am on week 5 - like how its round numbers so it's easier to keep track of what I'm doing. I think my walking is sometimes faster than my "running":laugh: prayerful - I agree, I have to work harder outside too. I love your new name "dreadmill" :laugh: I definately noticed the difference to…

Dewdrop – hello, hello! Indiana – congrats on moving down to overweight category! I really hate the names for these things. Just another way to measure your success at getting healthy.:drinker: Li4g – the holiday sounds wonderful! Too bad I live so far away. Anita – hang in there girl...:flowerforyou: I went to the indoor…

Sorry to report no change for me (180 lbs). Trying to stay on track and get more exercise this week.:grumble: Congrats to all who lost!!!:glasses:

Checking in tonight. Ate steak and salad for supper but was too full to jog tonight. I walked briskly for 48 minutes instead. Hopefully I can do couchto5K again tomorrow. I think my body was in starvation mode last week becasue I too wanted to eat everything in site. TRYING to get my body back into burning fat but feel…

Indiana - Nothing is as important as your peace of mind - that affects everything from weight to attitude. You are so precious and it is a privilege to know you. God has created us to be connected with others - even though it hurts some times. we will do our best to be here for you. Take care.

lulu - WAIT, before you start lowering your calories - I had to up mine to 1500/day becasue I have been hungry and snacking anyway. So I thought I would raise it and eat healthy stuff instead of feeling guilty. I did lose 8 lbs in May but in April I only lost 3 lbs. Exercise is the difference for me. If I'm not moving, I…

Went to the gym tonight - on the treadmill. Feel like I have been starving myself on 1200 calories so went over the last couple days (BMR = 1500). Hopefully that will help me lose not gain this week! Indianagranny – good luck with the walking. I enjoy it so much. It’s great that you are doing it for your friend. He will…

Congrats on the dress and the weight loss. That is awesome. You are going to look HOT!

Last night's homemade pizza tasted so good but is killer on sodium and calories. Husband's work schedule and bad weather are my excuses this time. Back…
