Congratulations on all of the fabulous success stories. It has been a while since I last posted. I am down 85 pounds since August 2012. I went from a tight size 18 to a lose size 6. I topped the scale at 217 and I am currently down to 130. I am off my HBP medications and I no longer have pulmonary hypertension or sleep…

Hello and welcome. I have been using the sight for about a year now. I have lost a total of 85 pounds since August of 2014. I am off all of my HBP medications and no longer have sleep apnea or pulmonary hypertension. I feel great and I am looking forward to the warmer weather and being able to enjoy trips with my children.…

Hi there everyone! My apologies as we were out of town from Thursday through today for my son's NYS wrestling championships. I am still struggling. I have gained about two pounds and I am feeling frustrated but it is my own fault. I was doing soooo well for about two months and managed to lose 9 pounds. I was doing the 17…

Hi there. My apologies, I was away from last Thursday through today for my son's NYS wrestling championships. I would be interested in this new group if you will have me. I note that I check in daily and that there has not been much posting in this group. I am dedicated to my weight loss and would love to continue to…

My apologies as it has been a while since I have logged on. Like yourself, I am struggling. I was doing so well (physically and mentally) for about a month and half and then I got the flu. I haven't seemed to be able to get myself completely back on track since. The flu is still lagging and my energy level is down. I was…

Hey there. I have not been focused this week. It is entirely my fault and I just need to get myself back on track. It is the week before my monthly visitor is due and I am finding myself craving chocolate. On top of that, I am currently undergoing a three night sleep study and I am exhausted (tonight is night two). I was…

Wow, sorry to hear about your allergies. I had another slip up today and at a Take 5 bar. Not sure why I am craving chocolate this week. I need to find the strength not to give into these cravings. I did so well for a month and now I am crashing. I am getting offline to put in a little exercise before dinner. I am running…

Sounds like you are doing great! Keep up the good work!

Great job!! What a fantastic weigh in this week! Keep up the great week! And kudos on saying NO to the KFC!! Let's see, yesterday's breakfast was half of a Thomas 110 calorie raison bagel thin, 1 4oz container of Dannon Activia fat free strawberry banana yogurt, and my hot green tea. Lunch was Schwan's turkey with gravy…

Good luck with the challenge! I was under in calories both yesterday and again today. I haven't had dinner yet tonight but regardless, I am going to be way under. It is just my youngest daughter and myself home right now as everyone else is out at games. I have to run her to baton in an hour and then head over to a game…

"I hope everyone has a better weekend than my day has been today. Make good choices, know your important and love yourself always no matter what" I love this!!

This sounds similar to the challenge that I participate in at work. I work in an office with five other women. Anyhow, we have our initial weigh in (which is kept track of on a computer) and we weigh in weekly. In the beginning, we all put in $2. Each week, we put in another $1 when we weigh in. If you gain weight then you…

LOL, Again, I am reading this late but better late then never....right? I am going to do better then the 10 squats and get up off my butt and ride the eliptical for a half hour before I have to go sit for the night at my son's wrestling match! Water intake??? ummm, still a work in progress. I remind myself daily that all…

Great (trick) idea!!! I like it!

Hi there and welcome! (Sorry I am reading this a few days late. I had a crazy week and wasnt able to get online as often as I usually can). Welcome aboard on our weight loss journey! Like yourself, I have a ton of weight to lose (80 pounds). I am currently doing the 17 Day Diet and it is working. This is the first diet (I…

Just rereading your message above and wanted to message that I LOVE pineapple!!!!

Good for you!! I was up early and out the door for a basketball game for my oldest son in a town about 30 miles away. Got home at noon and met my husband and son at the ER (been a bad week....lol). Left the ER and took my oldest daughter to get her hair cut. I am just getting home. Breakfast today was 2 hard boiled egg…

Sorry, can anyone share what this biggest loser challenge is all about? Thanks a bunch.

I am a few days late checking in (my apologies, I had a bad week with sick kids). At my morning weigh in today, I am down 7 pounds overall. I admit that I have cheated a tiny bit (from the 17 day diet that I am doing) but despite the cheat, I have managed to lose weight so I am thrilled and encouraged. My body needs carbs…

Sorry to hear that you were having a bad day yesterday. I can relate. I had a very rough week myself. I am happy that, like you, I have kept on track fairly well considering. Also like yourself, I have a son who wrestles (similar to your daughter who plays soccer). He is state ranked and we travel all over with him. Good…

Despite my rotten week and set back, I am down a total of 7 pounds at today's weigh in!!! Excited to see the scale go down. Hoping this will increase my incentive to stick with this diet!

Hey there! Thanks for the encouraging words. My apologies for not posting yesterday. It has been a hell of a week between sick kids and work. My son had a bad allergic reaction to motrin on Tuesday night and I ended up in the ER that evening and then the Doctor's office the following day. Thankfully he is fine now. As if…

Sorry, I have not tried this diet but I am curious to know the results! Good luck!

30 minutes on my stationary bike and I plan to do another 30 minutes while I watch my show later this evening.

jdragonfly: go to your settings above and click on it. It will ask you if you would like to have your ticker added to all of your posts. Just click on YES. It is that easy!!!

I had knee (lateral release and a miniscus repair) surgery a year ago and so my exercise is currently limited. Right now I am enjoying my stationary bike and walking. I have been riding the bike for 30 minutes per day and walking as often as I can. I am hoping to work up to my eliptical in the next week or so. Glad to see…

Just reread what you have written above and noted that you had asked about what I am eating daily. As I mentioned, I recently started the 17 Day Diet. I am not sure if you are familiar with what this is or not but you can read the information about this diet online. It is called the 17 Day Diet by Dr. Moreno. Don't let the…

Hi there! I wanted to jump on board and say a quick hello. Similar to yourself, my ultimate goal is to lose 80 pounds. I have been struggling with weight gain since the birth of my third child a little over twelve years ago. I currently have four children ages 16, 15, 12, and 8. I work full time as a social worker for…
