Great job @Breezie68 ! You're killing it!

Still hanging in there myself - failure is not an option here! Sending "mo" vibes your direction @wahagent05! Keep on keeping on!

Please send me an invite. I'm keeping motivated with the challenges - hopefully an overlap of the Summer challenge won't be a problem.

^^ so true!

YAY!!! Gold star for @hdatres

I've never run any 5K races, but I "wog" (walk/jog) anywhere from 3-5 miles - used to do 3-4 daily, but it's been a couple years since I was in that habit (trying to work back up to it - plus extra miles on the weekend so I can enjoy those margaritas). I echo the shoe recommendation. I have plantar fasciitis, and bad…

@nikkit321, if it makes you feel any better, bread LOVES me too - so much that one measly bagel will overstay it's welcome for 3-4 days. How can one food item that weighs a couple ounces in hand turn into a couple pounds in my stomach? I try not to give in to it's spell, but alas, I am only successful occasionally.

Logging while on vacation is very difficult. I try, but I am often not successful. They make it easy by providing the app for the phone, but it's still hard when you're not following your normal routine. I try to simply get the food on the list, even if it isn't the exact item (if I can't use the scanner) or the exact…

Focus on something small @tisdalla. When I have trouble finding my "mo" I go back to making things simple and focus on something that is relatively easy to accomplish (usually for me, it's breakfast). I'm terrible with meal planning - have grand aspirations of doing it, but the reality is it just doesn't happen. If I keep…

Keep at it @mhosner! Losing slowly is still losing - I have to keep that in mind myself. It's hard when you see all these posts of people losing 1.5, 2, 3, or even 4 pounds each week. Those of us that just don't lose that quickly need to stay focused and keep our eyes on the prize.

Don't give up @wahagent05! Just keep repeating to yourself "Today is a good day to stay on track" and "Just do it". Get the unhealthy trigger foods out of your pantry - or if you can't, move them somewhere that you have to get a ladder out to get to them. When you feel that you want to give in to the binge, try to find…

Ooh! Yay! I'm ahead of the game on this one! I got my bum out of bed this morning for a quick workout (Prevention Fit in 10) and some good morning stretching. A great accomplishment since I probably only got a couple hours of sleep in last night.

@ChristinaLuv1215 don't fret - it's just one day. Figure out what caused you to surpass your calories and perhaps there's something that you can substitute that will be a better choice - find your balance. @dstory102 Welcome to MFP!

Daily, first thing in the morning after bathroom. Done it for YEARS. Only record weekly weight, however. I've accepted the daily fluctuations. Unfortunately, I haven't been proactive enough to do something about the upward trend - but now ... lookout scale, I'm coming for ya!

@wahagent05 YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! I've been trying to get out of the 170s for a LONG time! Just when I think I'm ALMOST there, POW! back up to 172 ... or 173 ... or even 174! You'll get there. I started off 2016 saying I'll lose just 1 pound a week. I think my actually progress has been more like 1 pound a month! It's VERY…
