The maple instant oatmeal I use is only 100 calories, so that with a piece of fruit is what I have most weekdays.

My holidays have been on and off. I started my weight loss/lifestyle change just before Christmas last year and had lost 8 pounds when I joined a TOPS club in mid January. This year I did manage to lose a little over a pound over Thanksgiving, but my exercise and food logging have been very hit or miss lately. Hoping for…

Really like this.

On another thread someone posted about having achieved exercising 100 days in a row in 2012. I really like that idea since it is way to easy for me to put off until that tempting "tomorrow". So... For January 1. At least 20 minutes of purposeful exercise DAILY 2. Work out at least 2 days a week at the fitness center 3. My…

I love the 100 days in a row goal. LOTS of days I don't do any type of workout when I don't get to the center before they close. A goal like this will get me to do the things I can at home or pop in Leslie S. walking video. Thanks for the inspiration.

1. Joined TOPS and stuck with it (80+ pounds lost) 2. Joined our senior center which has a pool , fitness center, and trainers to help set up your program - although I have to confess I haven't been nearly as faithful as I need to be. 3. Started taking my lunch to work - which also meant more veggies, fruit, and dairy and…

WOW. WTG. You have done a fantastic job. Can't wait 'til I can say I'm down 100.

Great NSV. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.:smile:

I agree with the food scale and measuring cups. I also will cook a week's worth of boneless, skinless chicken or pork chops on the weekend to take for lunch during the week so it is all ready to go and add frozen veggies to the lunch container the night before since I have a microwave at work.

This made me think of my recovery from shoulder surgery and that the exercises which made me cry where the most exciting ones when I could do them well. Thanks for sharing. OP -- thanks for posting. I have been feeling much like this the last few days and even given in to the temptation to make some unhealthy food choices.…

Lots more than you to lose, but I've lost my focus for the last few days. Thanks for the motivating challenge.:happy:

Northwest Ohio for me, but if you go to communities and then find members, you can type in your zip code and find lots of members in your area.

This. All of it. Plus just walking my dog through the neighborhood or at the park. And planks, because it took me weeks to be able to do them.

Sounds fantastic. Bumping for later

The pics are beautiful. Thanks for sharing them.

And Fiddler on the Roof. Some great lines in that as well.

Simon Birch and White Christmas. Suspenseful horror movies scare me to death. I have yet to see The Shining all the way through.

Bump. Sounds great.

Wishing you luck. What are your junk food choices? If it is salty ones, I find that popcorn, Special K cracker chips or making my own 100 calorie bags of pretzels helps me. Sugary ones - well, for me, I either have to have just one serving available or I am done for, so I try to not have them around and just have something…

Thanks for the info.

Sounds wonderful. Can't wait to try.

Bump and thanks, you guys.

Non scale victory, I believe.

Sounds great. Will have to try. Thanks.

Bumping to save recipe. Sounds wonderful.

Thanks for the list of sites.

Bump

Sounds wonderful. Will definitely try.

I love this.

Beautiful story. Really makes you think. Thanks for sharing.
