yay you!

Thank you all... I will keep on keeping on :)

SW for challenge: 301.4 CW today: 300.0 I lost 1.4 pounds this week. I'll take that :)

wow....congrats to those who had losses this week! :D

OMW! You were my size (24) just in March and look at you NOW! I wish I would have been consistent so *I* could be in 14's now! sob, sob. I will be consistent NOW! :) You are so motivating!

The popcorn thing always confuses me too. I'd say call the 1-800 number ;)

I know! How frustrating! I was starting a new TOPS chapter (take off pounds sensibly) and my hubby joined to help me have enough members for a charter. That was last November. He has lost like 50 pounds! He gets up 2 hours before work and goes to the gym. I can't just leave the house and go to the gym because I have kids…

Here's mine: My starting weight: 301.4 My end of Oct. goal: 291.4 (I will weigh in on Fridays) My personal challenge: I will not analyze every little thing or feel guilty about trivial matters. I will simply ENJOY LIFE as it comes, each day of October. I will not feel guilt or shame for being happy.

What now? I need our leader to give us some direction such as when and where we are supposed to chime in with our successes :) I don't want you all to move to some other place to do so and me not realize LOL

Happy October 1st!!! I hope everyone is getting it going on today! :)

I want to join! My starting weight: 301.4 My end of Oct. goal: 291.4 My personal challenge: I will not analyze every little thing or feel guilty about trivial matters. I will simply ENJOY LIFE as it comes, each day of October. Right now I have a friendship that I have been warned about--because the friendship may not be…

Thank you!

Thank you all :)

I like mine BUT I find that I get burned out if I drink it too much...so...now I only have it once per day. I fix mine in the blender with ice to make it more "milkshakey" and have it as my bedtime snack :)

Mine is "thatTOPSlady" because I am the leader of a weight loss group called "Take Off Pounds Sensibly" aka TOPS :)

I weigh weekly on doctor's scales and daily on the wii fit. Our wii fit is about 3 pounds lighter than the doctor's scales. However, it has been accurate on total weight lost. So... ?? Are you weighing the same time each day, wearing the same clothing?

I think you are going to have to NICELY say "Sir, I know you don't mean anything by it, but please don't touch me. That bothers me and I don't like it. And I apologize for not having time to talk with you, but I barely have time to squeeze in my workout ever day. Please don't be offended-- that's just the way I am!" and…

Wow...you rock! I am just restarting.... I weigh 308 and I'm 118 from my goal. I'd love for you to be my MFP friend!

Thanks everyone! I'm going to throw a boiled egg in there and call it done :) Have a great day!

Thank you! :)

scotlanded, could you tell me what PMDD stands for so I can research it? My mood improved dramatically today. The fog lifted. It is day 26 of my cycle. Like clockwork. The good thing about my depression (?) being tied to my cycles is that I know that no matter how down I may get, in a short while it will be over. Thanks…

I have issues with depression (? I guess that is what it is....although it does seem to come and go with my monthly cycles.....but it is so much more than PMS). Right now I am on the "down" end of it. The blah feeling. The constant struggle to do even the simplest tasks. Something like getting my daughter ready for church…

Around 2 p.m. yesterday, I sat down and wrote a note TO MYSELF. I pretended someone else was having the issues and they were asking MY advice. Then I followed my advice :) I broke huge tasks into small steps, declared that the computer will be OFF by 10 p.m. so that I could get plenty of sleep (I think being sleep deprived…

I am 6' tall and I weigh 308 :grumble: I just started MFP a week ago. For one pound per week loss, it told me to eat approx 2200 cals per day. :drinker: :drinker:

P.S. I weigh at 5 p.m. every Tuesday at TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly)

Thank you all for your responses. I will not try to justify myself :) I will try to do better! Although my emotions are all a wreck and I don't *feel* like it. I did check to make sure I am supposed to be having that many calories. My weight (as of last week, when I made the profile) was 304.7. My height is 6'. My goal…

My kids are 8 and 11 and have homeschooled from the beginning. We are in Oklahoma. We are using Bob Jones Online for Math and doing unit studies to get everything else in. We don't plan to begin our year until around the first of September. Nice to meet you!

uh oh...that was for ME! How many times have I said "I would have made better choices BUT............" (then followed by what happened that day that hindered me). Hello? Distractions are going to happen all the time and if I WAIT for no distractions to get healthy, then I am NEVER going to be healthy! never!…

I'm 6' tall, weigh 304, and wear a size 26. :huh: I was approx 220 when I married, in 1996...and about a size 16/18. 245 in 1998, when I concieved my first child. Approx. 265 in 2001 when I concieved my second child. Spent about 5 years at 278. Moved to Oklahoma in Feb. 07 and weighed 300. Went into depression, gained to…
