Vail - I channeled YOU while standing.. unclothed.. on the scale this morning... and yes while that may sound just a little creepy, its only because the scale finally showed a wee loss.... but my chosen weekly check in day is tomorrow!! I immediately thought of you and your challenge group and you having the same problem…

im so glad gail you were able to realize just how far you've come as well.. sometimes a little reflection on the positive changes we've made goes a long way to drowning out all the criticisms we tend to focus on and load on ourselves for what we haven't done... and you have done so amazingly great in making so many…

Morning Hatters! Just had a quick read and before I start some of the replies.... I just gotta say.. Gail?? I read the first line of your post and I swear I got chills.... you wrote: I am loving the Boot Camp type of circuit training that I am doing here after work!! I think of all of us this year Gail - you have come the…

lmao Suzy.. omg ain't it the truth.... altho in my case it should read "during" drinking, not after LOL! Vail - other than the fasting, the basic guide to nutrition you indicated pretty much jives with the majority of lifestyle eating habits most recommended I think? Sorta ties in to what that nutritionist told me years…

If it's any consolation Baydogger.. I was completely overwhelmed when i first came MFP.. information overload.. and there are so many people touting this way or that way is the only way.. CICO, low carb, TDEE, whatever .. my head was spinning and i'm pretty sure i tried em all at some point. That said, there are so many…

where we would be without a sense of humour in our journeys, eh ?? Suzy - two week road trip!!!! Wowsaaaaaaaaaa holy cow that's awesome I confess I might be a little jealous! And think you have absolutely the right idea - just try to make some good choices and a hairy eyeball on the portion sizes and I have no doubt you'll…

Just happened to see this post and wanted to pop in and welcome you to MFP and wish you all the best in what you have set out to accomplish for yourselves! and while everyone on MFP has their own particular challenges. post menopausal weight loss has some doozies LOLOL...

Gail - I laughed at your flat bottomed lady.. its so true for me!! LOL every once in a while i'd squeeze the old .. backside and watch it rise up like the moon in the jeans and think hmm not bad.... then of course... once the posterior muscles were relaxed.... it was like oh yah.. that's what it really looks like!! :'(…
-
lmao @ Susan - LOVE the hat!! and i'm with you on the focus for this week being eating when i'm actually hungry.. but not ravenous.. hopefully will help with the smaller amounts for me although I did think it was going pretty good finally - I wish there was a shut off valve on me that would turn off automatically when I've…

Monday morning greetings and salutations, hatters! I'm on a few days off, so technically not my Monday BUT I still asked myself why I chose Mondays to weigh in when i got up this morning :p I am slightly annoyed.. ok perhaps seriously annoyed that I am actually UP a pound... we are NOT amused!! >:) But I decided NOT to…

Vail - that's an AWESOME accomplishment.... well done YOU!!! last day of dayshift today and since i'm up a few minutes before the alarm, thought i'd pop in.. looking forward to some down time for sure!

T2 - huge congrats on passing up the RV - knew you would do it!! as for the sugar - we use metric measurements here, so the first thing I learned in my class 4 years ago was that 1 tsp = 4 grams (grams are easier for me to work with lol) They told us to aim for 2g or under per serving of processed stuff (i.e, salad…
