Would love to join - could use some extra motivation for the second half of 2013

I never used to be breakfast person like you but now Ieat breakfast almost everyday and I feel it has made a difference, sets up a good base for the day, it can be hard and first to make the change but I just slowly started to eat earlier and now I hate when I don't get my egg in the morning.

Just turned 36!

Started doing yoga at 288lbs and love it - if you're not comfortable with a class there are some great free videos on Yogajournal.com

I love yoga, it's been a big part of my weight loss journey so far and I've found it really helpful for everything from building my core and over all strength, streching & flexability and stress reduction. Depending on your body you'll find somethings easy and others more difficult but it's a great challange and a ablaced…

Great post - Thank you!

I started here at 288 I'm down 43lbs with a goal of around 150. I'm here daily and try to be a good supporter - feel free to add me

My goal is 100+lbs, I'm at 43 now, feel free to add me

I'm feeling the pain of all the Holiday parties and December birthday celebrations as well but I'm down 8lbs since we started this challenge and I'm feeling good, moderation really is working well - I don't feel deprived or that I've over done it - made a few bad choices but I've countered them with good choices and some…

Feel free to add me - I've lost 42lbs so far but would still like to lose another 60+ - I'm here pretty much everyday.

Happy to say even with Thanksgiving and teh chocolate dessert buffet on saturday I lost 1/2lb this week. i finally got back to swimming and have it booked in to my calendar to go 1-2 times a week plus yoga on otherdays so I'm feeling better about my exercise goal. 1) Be more consistent with my exercise, yoga & swimming 2)…

Love this! Esspecially the dropping cheat day from your vocabulary, I hate that - moderation is really the key!

I'm really happy to be a part of this group - this hasn't been my most sucsessful weight loss season but having this group to check in with week to week is reall a big with keeping me accountable. I'm going into Thanksgiving with the atitude of everything in moderation - nothing is off limits as long as I don't over do…

Weighing in a day earlier than normal cause i won't have access to my scale tomorrow - I'm down 1lb and on tthe NSV side, my double chin is disapearing! I finally got back to swimming last week and that's feeling really good and helping me do better with my exercise goal. Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone! 9/26: 253 10/3:…

Hi Everyone - I'm still plugging along. Down another pound, really pushing myself with the water but still find it hard to drink more than 4-6 glasses a day without feeling like I'm going float away. still struggling with the exercise but I got my pool membership renewed and I start back swimming tomorrow, hopefully that…

Biggest thing is White Chocolate melts differently - if you're doing it with chips, Nestles melts well, Ghirardelli's just beacomes a grainy mess, melting candy disks work great if you have/can get them.

Thanks for sharing - you look amazing and reading your story/seeing your pictures is a big inspiration. It's great to see someone that took her time losing, but kept at it and looks so great now!

Happy that I'm down another 1/2lb this week - was a little suprised by it actually - don't feel like I've been eating that well but I guess it's true - that it is more about how much you eat not what - that doesn't mean I don't need to cut down on my sugar but if I log the calories and stay with in my numbers it OK to eat…

Glad you're OK, what a sary thing to have happen - i'm here pretty much everyday and I've just gotten into the support part of the site so feel free to add me.

Still strugling with my exercise goal but doing better with drinking water and mt weight is still going down and I'm feeling good which is the most importanat thing. not a big loss this week but anything is better than nothing. 1) Be more consistant with my exercise, yoga & swimming 2) Drink more water 3) Lose 15lbs by…

Feel free to add me - I feel the same way! Anyone else on thsi post can add me too

I'm down 2 lbs this week and excited to finally hit the 250 mark - I'm hoping knowing that I could be in the 240's next week will help give me a push. My exercise hasn't been good so I really want to push myself in that area more. mt calories have been OK, although I could be making some better choices of what I'm eating…

Finally down a pound this week and feeling good cause my body feels smaller in places I'm still having a hard time with my water in-take and motivating myself to exercise more but over all it's not to bad - have a good week 9/26: 253 10/3: 253 10/10: 253 10/17: 252 10/24: 10/31: 11/7: 11/14: 11/21: 11/28: 12/5: 12/12:…

Thank you for sharing - this exactly what i needed today!

Wednesdays are my usual weigh-in so guesss I'll be at the end of the string most of the time Still holding steady at 253 but feeling good about it cause I had a wedding the week of 9/29 & went away with friends this weekend. I did OK food wise but drank a good amount which I've been keeping to minimum since I joined MPF.…

My goals are still the same 1) Be more consistant with my exercise, yoga & swimming 2) Drink more water 3) Lose 15lbs by December 31 so I can start the New Year smaller than I've ever been as an adult. Think I missed posting my weights in my original post - CW: 253 GW: 238 Weighed in this week at 252.5, not a big change…

Hi everyone, I'm Josie and I'm from Massachusetts - I've been on MFP sincw Februsry but I've been mostly using the tracking features not the support and I think it's time I added that in. I've lost 35lbs so far but still have a long way to go. Fall and the holidays are a tough time for me with all the great food, fairs, &…

First time I'm posting but count me in - if I can reach this goal I'll be the smallest I've been in my adult life! CW: 253 GW: 233
