  • :flowerforyou: Hi MFP friends! I have been SICK for a week. :sick: I didn't get on the computer the whole time. It is good to post again and get caught up little with all of you. It was interesting, today I picked up a journal I started when I first joined MFP and it was a huge encouragement to see my last entry in May I…

  • :flowerforyou: greetings MFP friends! Well, I weighed every day this week and it was very interesting. It didn't affect me like I thought it would. It actually helped me and I took off 2 of my recent 6 pound gain! I was more conscientious each day and not just working toward the end of the week for my next weigh-in. Have a…

  • :flowerforyou: KC, I, too, have been there and still slip back to those ideas every now and then. I try to "be good" so I'll lose. I get upset with myself when I don't. I've come to the conclusion with Vicki that this is a mindset change as well as a life change. Even though I feel differently about losing weight this time…

  • :flowerforyou: Brrr! We had 4 inches of snow in central Nebrrrska. There is supposed to be more snow tonight. I guess winter arrived early. I finally relented and set my ticker where it was supposed to be. Hopefully this 6 pounds will come off relatively quickly. I don't want to lose the ground I've gained this…

  • :flowerforyou: After making a mess of September and deciding that October was going to be a good month for weight loss, I have bombed it so far. :grumble: It seems, as has been the case through the years, that when I really dig in and decide that I'm going to be serious I eat things that I hadn't planned on eating and…

  • :flowerforyou: October already! I,too, didn't make my goals for Sept. I haven't been eating like I should, drinking water like I should or excercising like I should.:grumble: Wow! There, it's out. Now I can get back up off of the floor after kicking myself in the behind and get busy. It's good to hear from each of you.…

  • :flowerforyou: I'm have been post-menopausal for almost two years. Yes, there is life on the other side even though when you are in the thick of it there seems to be no end. One thing that helped me alot was taking soy. I didn't want to do HRT and a cousin suggested soy. I had horrible migraines during menopause, but now…

  • :flowerforyou: Kathy, we are all in the same boat! That's why we are on MFP. We have all fallen off the boat, but the difference is that there's that awareness there that you know you have to get up and get going again. Been there done that!:ohwell: It's good to see you posting again. When I first started MFP you were one…

  • :flowerforyou: After I recorded my last 2 pounds I got a message that I should re-evaluate my calorie level. Based on what I put in it re-set my calories to 1200/day. I guess that's okay, but I continually have beween 200 and 400 calories left over at the end of the day. Why should I go ahead and eat those calories when I…

  • :flowerforyou: My daughter's dog was killed a few hours go. We've never had pets much, so my question is: what do you do for someone who has lost a pet that would make a difference to them? My daughter lives alone and DG was her pal and protector. Do you do flowers, or ??? Thanks for your ideas.:flowerforyou:

  • :flowerforyou: You know, I'm sooo close to 200 that I decided not to be content with just 1 pound a week but make a goal of losing 4 pounds by the end of this month and 4 pounds by the end of October. That will put me well BELOW 200 by December! Now that's something to be excited about!! I know what I need to do and I…

  • :flowerforyou: Welcome Fabulocity! It took me a few weeks to get into the habit of recording calories and keeping up with exercise and water, but it will grow on you and you will want to do all of the things you should do because you will see results. Even when you "mess up" you will find it easier to get back into step.…

  • :flowerforyou: Hi! I've been on but haven't posted. I have been very busy getting one daughter off to college, visiting with my ARMY son home from Korea, visiting with another son who was gone all summer as a Neighborhood Bible Time evangelist, painting bedrooms and trying to get ready for school to start. In the meantime,…

  • :flowerforyou: We are here for each other, right? Well, it seems like I'm really gung-ho to report when I've lost some pounds, but when I mess up I don't want anyone to know. But, that is one of the very reasons this thread is here right? So...I haven't been exercising, drinking water or eating like I should to lose…

  • :flowerforyou: I usually don't weigh on Sunday, but I did this morning and I have lost 2 more pounds! I could actually see '200' just in the edge of the window. I am sooo excited to get below 200. I felt like the little lamb in a PIXAR shortie called 'BOUNDIN'. I wanted to jump for joy! Anyway, hope you all have a good…

  • :flowerforyou: Kathy, it's good to see you on MFP again. We are all pals and do understand the things we all go through in relationship to food. The important thing is to keep focused forward. We all know our triggers and what helps us stay on track. We are here for you and are glad to hear from you!!! Keep on keeping…

  • :flowerforyou: Yippie!! I lost another pound, a new pound that is. It is always a boost to lose at least something!! It spurs me on to keep on keeping on...I'm drinking more water too. After working all week at the PO I will get back on the treadmill next week too. Have a good day!!

  • :flowerforyou: Greetings to all my MFP friends. Last week was a respite for me. I only had the youngest boy at home and we sanded, stained and varnished the dining room floor; then I worked at the PO Thurs, Fri and Sat. We ate at the Chinese Buffet last Sunday and I enjoyed it. I didn't record calories or post any last…

  • :flowerforyou: Greetings from Nebraska! I haven't been on for a few days. Four of our five children who are at home have gone to camp so I only have ONE! I think in ways one takes more energy and attention than five (now 14 definately takes LOTS of energy!!). We have so many clean glasses in the cupboard that there doesn't…

Four of the five that are still at home left for camp in Colorado today so we only have the youngest at home for a week. He is 9. He and I will do the paper route every morning so that should drop a couple of pounds this week. Susan, we will…

  • :flowerforyou: It's good to read all the posts. You are all an encouragement to me. My husband and I met our daughter half-way from Denver to pick up one of the boys who had been to camp. It ended up being dark about half-way heading back home so David and I stopped again and again and bought junk food to try to keep…

  • :flowerforyou: Vicki, You are an inspiration to me because you have gotten on the other side of 200! If you can hold it there, you will start losing again. We all plateau at times, but don't lose your focus. You CAN do it!! I so look forward to the day I'll be on the other side of 200. That will be glorious. Keep on…

  • :laugh: I used to weigh in on Sunday mornings. It seemed like I was always grumpy when I got to church. My husband (the Pastor of our church) asked me why it always seemed like there was something bothering me on Sunday mornings... He suggested that I pick another day to weigh in and it worked. I am cheery and ready for…

It was really hard to refuse dessert:cry: , but I knew I wouldn't be sorry that I did, this morning.
