I love that last part about accepting and loving yourself. When I finally did that, I finally starting losing weight too! You look great!

Woo hoo! :)

That's great!

Yeah your doctors will happy. Great job. I gave up soda in July. Best thing I ever did!

Sending you a request!

You must like one thing about yourself. At least I think it's reflected in your user name! Start there. Look in the mirror and tell yourself you are worth it! Be thankful for big blue eyes that can see! Hearing that works! Legs and arms that move, and if I move them a little more I may lose some weight. You get my point.…

I'm from southeast Michigan. I've lost 48 pounds. Delete those old weights and start new! You said you are " independent by the Grace of God," well I'm losing weight by Gods great Grace! I finally decided to treat myself with as much love as my Heavenly Father has for me! You can do this. :)

Woo Hoo !!

Lol. I was like a "sahm" what is that?? Then I finally figured it out! I was one! When my kids were babies, now they are in college! I wish you the best of luck. Staying at home with my kids,that were 15 months apart, was the hardest, most rewarding job I ever did. Unfortunately it is a little isolating, and that's when I…

Hard days are part of life! Walk for 5, 10, 15 minutes or drink water and then if you need for eat, log , move on with life

Great job!

Life is better, no matter what size we are, when we love ourselves!

Pictures are great, but when I read about the mental transformation it inspires me more. Way to go!

Woo Hoo!

I have been logging since June and have lost 46 pounds. Don't give the scale all the power. How are you feeling over all? Do you feel better? When I first started,and I was doing everything right, and I stepped on the scale and it didnt move I would want to quit too. I told myself not this time. I deserve this. I trusted…

You said yourself that you think it was an ok day. Focus on the positive. You were with your family! He made the pancakes. You didn't eat them all, I'm sure at one time you probably did! I'm glad you had a day with your family.

Love reading this thread! Today I looked in the mirror and I'm thankful for the healthy body that I have right now! I'm still overweight, but I'm not going to look and be critical, I will look and be thankful.

It's called trusting the process! I'm so glad I did! I have lost 44 pounds so far

Thanking God first. Woo hoo!! Keep up the great work!

Went for a walk with the husband. I picked up the basketball and bounced it around. We won't talk about the shot. Lol.

Thanks! I organized my kitchen "catch all" counter.

I'm a nurse too. I worked night shift for 17 years and now I'm on days. I wish I could tell you I lost weight while working nights, but I didn't. I know I could have lost it if I would have figured out to care for myself as much as I do my patients. I don't know why as nurses we take care of others, but not ourselves. Make…

I'm a nurse and work 12 hour shifts. So I had no problems meeting this challenge today!

Just joined this group today. I live in Michigan. The fall tree colors are beautiful. Went for a 60 minute walk with the husband.

Awesome story

Quit setting multiple alarms. Sleep until 12:30 and make the most of the rest of your day.

That's great

A friend of mine wanted me to try this. I had already been doing MFP and had lost 17 pounds. When I did the challenge, I lost another 9 pounds. I continued using MFP during the challenge, and bottom line, it's all about creating a deficit. I do like the spark drink and the berry protein shake. But if I didn't get it at a…

Great job!!

My oldest son turned 20 today! Being a mom is the best job ever! Time goes so fast. You will enjoy it so much more in good health! I wish you the best of luck for your delivery. God Bless
