My husband and I decided to get married in July. We told everyone that we were getting married in November. I ONLY told people because I didn't want my family to be upset with us. We flew to AZ 2 weeks ago and had the most amazing ceremony in Sedona, out on the Red Rocks, with no family/friends. I hired a local officiant,…

I can't wait to find a match I'm paired with. This is such an awesome idea! I'm 5'9" and currently 303. I'm hoping to eventually get down to 163, but at least to 280 by our wedding on Nov. 13th. Wish me luck, or join my battle. I'll welcome ANY support.

Well, according to theknot I only have 117 days until our wedding. EEEKKK! That's nothing. I've got to get motivated! I have found that logging food here has helped. As far as getting off my butt? It's not so easy. it's hot and I'm fat. That doesn't lend to a pleasant situation. You can do this! We can do this together!…

Getting motivated for me too. I was doing okay with the diet part (despite a booze derailment). I can't get off my butt though. I'll find a million reasons not to move. Although I saw a friend's post here this AM and it might be the motivator. She dropped 4 lbs this week and the only thing that changed was she got up and…

Me too! 134 days and counting. What's your biggest hurdle? Let's push each other through this!

Me too!! I'm just getting back on here after dragging my butt for far too long. Please feel free to add me too. We can all use any support and motivation we can get, right?

Congrats! We just picked a date this weekend too. I've got 135 days to get down as far as I can for our elopement. I can do alright with the food, it's drinking and lack of exercise that gets me. What's your demon? And what's your date?

I'm as good as gone in this group. However, I'm pleased to announce that I have signed up as team leader for team Superglide, in honor of my father this year in the Step Out: Walk for Diabetes. Before my dad died in 2007, I was in the process of becoming healthier for him so that I could donate a kidney for him. When he…

I want to lose weight, need to lose weight, for my health. In the last few months, I've been diagnosed with more things than I can handle. Besides, I don't want to be lumpy anymore. I don't want to cringe every time I see a camera and I don't want to feel like crap every time I see myself in a picture. I want to lose…

I'm so sorry; I just realized I didn't check in on Friday. I did weigh myself though, so here goes... 4/1 288.9 4/8 288.0 4/15 287.6 4/22 288.0 4/29 286.4 5/6 287.4 5/13 285.6 5/20 286.0 Here's hoping for a better week!

I'm up too :( 287.4 Must stop slacking! My nutritionist suggested I wear a pedometer to see how many steps I take daily, setting a goal to get to 10000! I think I'm at 800 per day. Hopefully it'll be a nice night for a walk! Have a great weekend ladies!

What have you lost? I've lost a human head! I need to lose a baby giraffe. EEK!! 1 pound = a Guinea Pig 1.5 pounds = a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts 2 pounds = a rack of baby back ribs 3 pounds = an average human brain 4 pounds = an ostrich egg 5 pounds = a Chihuahua 6 pounds = a human’s skin 7.5 pounds = an average…

4/1 288.9 4/8 288.0 4/15 287.6 4/22 288.0 4/29 286.4 Scale is a little better. I don't have my measurements, but I'm sure I've not really lost anything. I haven't been exercising. I just can't get into it. I don't know what the hell's wrong with me. I have good intentions and then...nothing. Have a good weekend ladies!

Sorry, hope everyone has a good holiday!!

BOOO HISSSSS! This sucks! 4/1 288.9 4/8 288.0 4/15 287.6 4/22 288.0 Something's gotta give! Need to walk tonight. This non-movement is driving me crazy!

Happy to share: - Space carbs throughout the day, no more than 2-3 servings in one meal - Always have a protein with a carb - Always have a fruit with a protein She has me on 8 breads (aka carbs), 2 milk, 4 veggies, 3 fruit, 5 fats, 5 meat per day. Things I've learned: - PORTION SIZE! I'm from NY (originally). Bagels are…

Had my first appointment with a nutritionist yesterday. What a freakin' eye opener! I knew the booze was killing me. Kinda of literally as I'm borderline diabetic. My blood sugar's through the roof, that's what prompted the appointment to start. Biggest problem was PORTIONS! I thought I was eating regular portions and I…

4/1 288.9 4/8 288.0 4/15 287.6 Could this scale be moving any slower?!?!?! Have a good weekend all!

4/1 288.9 4/8 288.0 I would've done better if I was able to move more this week. Had a medical procedure that prohibited me from exercise. That, and an awesome birthday dinner for my boyfriend's daughter at The Melting Pot. Tough to make a good choice with a pot of cheese and another pot of chocolate (although I did well…

Is anyone having trouble getting foods to populate from the database this morning? I can add my own foods or frequently used foods but when searching on the database, they don't load. Anyone else having this issue?

Wow, you guys really kick butt! I'm starting out doing what I can, baby steps...drinking more water, really watching the calories, trying to cut back or cut out alcohol. I try to do chair marches at work. I ride a stationary bike a few nights a week, but can still only go a few minutes. I'll try to jump in with your…

Hi Everyone! My name is Diana and I'm from PA. I'm 38 and working on losing 130 lbs. I've just gotten lazy and comfortable and it needs to stop. I joined MFP in January and found Kerri's last challenge on my first day. SOOO glad I did. Even when I screwed up, everyone encouraged me. It definitely helps to be held…

Why, oh WHY does mfp have freaking Dominos ads on the top of the pages. Couldn't they find a healthier alternative for an advertiser? Is Dominos preying on us, willing us to fall off the wagon and order a delivery? lol

I know that my scale is capable of registering different weights, then why am I stuck at 286!?!??! Week 1 (1/7) - 294, starting 1/4 Week 2 (1/14) – 289.4 Week 3 (1/21) - 290 Week 4 (1/28) – 289.2 Week 5 (2/4) – 286.8 Week 6 (2/11) - 287 Week 7 (2/18) - 288 Week 8 (2/25) - 290 Week 9 (3/4) – 287.2 Week 10 (3/11 )- 286 Week…

I'd love to continue with the group after the challenge is over. I'm not doing really well, but I like the Friday weigh in. At least it gets me thinking to NOT eat the 'whatever' that I'd like to at that moment. Goals: 1. 500 chair marches per day 2. 100 oz. of water daily 3. bike ride (even if it's short since I still…

HEY! I didn't realize that the old thread locked. I just saw that I was a top loser last week. Yeah me! Down another 1.8 lbs today, yeah me again! Although it looks like I will be no.where.near my 3 month goal, you guys have kept me accountable the past few weeks and I thank you all for it!! Week 1 (1/7) - 294, starting…

I'm at 290 as of this morning. I allowed myself to slack for valentines day and haven't gotten back on the horse, drinking like an animal and paying for it the next day with uber breakfasts. I hate that I have to post a gain but there's NO reason for me not to get back on here. I missed the last mini challenge due to my…

Got approval from the doctor to stop wearing the immobilizer boot for my ankle. (yay) Unfortunately, I celebrated by getting 2 mexi melts from Taco Bell (boo). I haven't had Taco Bell in 4-5 years, I don't know what made me do it. I missed my first mini goal for Valentine's Day, so I have to work double hard to meet my…
