Thought I posted this last week:( That proves to me that I'm not committed! I really am having a difficult time keeping motivated. It helps to read what you all post, it's inspiring! Then, when I log out! I guess " I log out" Feeing bummed!

Happy March to all! My birthday was March 1st. Wanted to have lost some weight ,but did not :( But I need to be positive and start with March 1st goals. Do 1thing I enjoy every day Try 1new recipe a week Add 1 glass of water every day Do NOT miss 1day of logging Make 1positive statement a day *** have a wonderful month…

Hi there! I have just begun to quilt. I find it so satisfying . Love what you've done! Will you hang it somewhere special?

Hi Rita, Its Tara from south eastern CT! And frigid it the word! Frozen pipes this morning, but no damage. Just stood in the basement with the hair dryer for about an hour( lol) thank goodness that was enough to do the trick. Trying. Desperately to stay the course! Enjoy the snow again tomorrow!

So sorry to read that you are going through such anguish! Stay strong and know we women are here for you! Many prayers!

Good morning! Had a good day yesterday. Met up with friends for coffee. Such a treat! Made me realize how important it is to take time to connect with people! Now that I am not working I don't see friends. My days are filled with parents and in law care, as well as my youngest. Feeling energized, now, to have more positive…

Had a rough calorie night:( The day was great, had a plan to exercise while my teen was at her 3hour dance/voice class. Then, she wasn't feeling well and opted not to go. Ugh! I get so frustrated when this happens!!! So, of course I ate all evening! Darn it! It's like a switch went on and I said "to heck with it all" and…

Southeastern, CT ( near RI border)

So, school already cancelled for tomorrow:( It's the ice, not snow in southeastern CT that causes upheaval! So after "Super bowl" munchies(did better than I thought), now I'll be home bound with leftovers calling me. Ugh!!! Plenty of veggies, if I can stay focused!

No problem! Soon as this batch of weather clears. I'll try it? Thanks!

Thanks so much. How do I access that thread?

I have 30 more to lose! I'm also one who needs accountability. (Tara)

More snow expected:( with a period of rain &ice in the mix! Ugh! Can someone recommend a low impact "you tube" video to get me through this? Haven't seriously exercised in at leased 6months, don't want to hurt myself, but walking is out of the question. Also, space is limited (old house with lots of small rooms)

Ready to start a new month! Thinking of goals to lead up to my March1st birthday! Weight won't be where I want, so I need to focus on attainable goals!

I'm feeling positive today! Weighed in and am down 2 pounds and have logged in for 6 straight days!!! That's incentive!! Hope every one else enjoys success today ! I think all that shoveling paid off!

Congratulations! What a beautiful picture. I know you'll enjoy every second !

Quick tip I heard: keep a travel size bottle of mouth wash handy, like in the kitchen/ powder room. When done with meal or snack, swish mouth wash before getting into leftovers or more snacking. I liked this idea and so far it has worked. I take a drink of water first, though.

The snow in eastern Ct was substantial, to say the least. And shoveling is crazy(but burns calories) I am having a glass of wine tonight and still staying within calories(!!) win! Will need to shovel at 6:30, so son & husband can get out. But I don't have to go to work:) Trying to stay positive!

Still snowing to beat the band here in eastern CT. Shoveled a path for dogs (3) times already and it's covered! Looks so pretty, but that's because I'm inside a warm house and not out trying to conquer the mounds! Did some light exercises, holding off because I will be outside eventually. Hope everyone has a successful day!

Hi Rita, I'm from CT as well. While everyone else picked up bread &milk... I was picking up fruit and veggies. Trying to set myself up to keep on track. Not easy when my kids(lol- 17& 23) remember the cookie baking years "hint,hint". Fingers crossed

Hi CP! The wonderful thing about this is that we're all in the same boat. I used FP last year and got down to a satisfying weight! I logged at least 100 days!!! Then we went away( big fun!!!). Then my daughter was sick. Then my father had a stroke,mom had to have open heart surgery, and fatherin law has cancer! So, now I'm…

Thanks for the thoughts exermom! My grandson is a whopping 10days old! (So blessed) Staying with my son &daughterinlaw to support! I find myself doing lunges and walking in place... Like I did with my own 5. Fun memories!!! it's too cold to do anything during my daughter's 3 hr.theater classes and just a bench to sit on.…

I was successful last year at staying near my goal, then things started falling apart and I gained like 20pounds by Thanksgiving and more during the holidays? Now am sedentary :( and needing motivation! Thanks for including me. I'm with you on losing 30!!! We've got this

Wow! It works(lol)! Just life stresses... Good and bad. But right now a lot of sitting every day. Doctors appts. For elderly parents (3days), new grandbaby (sitting for this week), still have teen at home (sitting during her activities). And have been eating unhealthy since week before Thanksgiving! Ready to start again,…

Still trying to figure out how to be part of a discussion. I have read so many wonderful things from various people, but don't know how to be included? Can anyone guide me?
