Please count me in! I'd like to set a 12 week mini goal of 25 pounds by January 1.

Long day at work form me today but I’ve planned and have good food choices with me. Snow storm has passed and only have another 6" of snow to deal with but the sun is back out! Sylvia – my thoughts are with you and your son. I’m glad you had some time with your grandson….loved how you shared a life lesson with him.…

Just closed my food diary too.....mouth shut for the rest of the evening! Spontaneous as one of my March goals, Check! DH and I arrived in the driveway at the same time last night....I nailed him with a snowball. The snowball fight was underway. I lost the fight but I won at the same time! Hmmm.....if I plan to be more…

Good morning all, I’m loving all the stories on support with this group of fine people! Feeling like I have a new grasp on this healthy way of life with a new attitude. I’m excited, but there in the back of my mind, is the question “how long will this last?... can I stay on track and do this?”. I’m stubbornly not listening…

Reviewing my March goals….so far, so good Accountability…..Check. We’ve had some pretty nice weather up here in Ontario, Canada. The last few days have been the warmest (35F) we’ve seen since I can’t even remember when. Perhaps spring really is on the way??? Sylvia, Sometimes I think the weight creeps back on when we’re…

Cravingfreedom: I recently found myself craving sweets constantly...this is weird for me as I am usually more of savoury girl. i think you need to shake things up. Take the "snacky" foods away completely for at least a week...2weeks would be better. Try going back to apples, celery etc. but add protein to those snacks…

Hey Sandy that's fantastic! Plan to do something on your bucket list or something off your wish list. For my 50 pound milestone I went kayaking! Make yours something you'd love to get out and do. Horseback riding, butterfly conservatory, tobogganing....whatever your thing might be. Start planning....your 100 pounds loss is…

I am looking forward to taking these babies for a spin, thank you!

Hi all I'm not exactly new to MFP but I'm back. Love the motivation and support with this group of grand ladies. How the heck did we get to be 50+??? So my goals for March; Focus on being happier every day and nicer to be with Logging every meal, snack, bite or swallow on MFP Move more = treadmill for 20 minutes at least 3…

Hi I'm looking for friends to motivate and be motivated by....feel free to add me! Canada here, 5'3"

Hi All People are really just starting to make comments and noticing now.... That's at about 4 months and about 44 pounds later Sure feels good though!

Volkswagen - Darth Vader kid. Was that a Canadian commercial?

Ontario, Canada, absolutely balmy this time of year!

My plan is to stay focused on maintaining, BUT to knock off at least one of the items on my bucket list as reward for reaching goal weight! Zip lining somewhere exotic despite the fact I am scared to death of heights!

May 15 for me too!

My sexy toes of course!

Hi Val I too am just getting this weight-loss rolling. I already feel like I'm on the right track because in my head I can see I'm going to do this. For whatever reason it's a different mindset this time for me. I'm almost 50 (May) and started this with a short term goal of 50 by 50! It looks as though I should be able to…

Wow! What dedication and focus. You look amazing!

Amazing job!

Congratulations on that first 50 pound hurtle! Keep on going, you're doing great.

Remove yolks and put them in a bowl. Add…

Hi All I went on a crazy binge this past weekend. It was an eating frenzy. It started with my frame of mind on Friday night, I wasn't in a good head space. There was no turning the Titanic around, I just had to ride it out. I was withing about a pound of reaching 25 lbs lost but it didn't matter, I was in destruction/sink…

I am proud of your hard work and dedication. You are a very strong and determined woman who knows what it takes. Congratulations and welcome to your new lifestyle. You are truly amazing!

Hillarius - I love the helium idea!
