So far had a GREAT day! 1. Drank 2 liters of water. Trying to get another one in. 2. Exercised 30 minutes. 3. Stayed under 1,200 calories. 4. Almost had a Pepsi and bag of peanut butter M&Ms and realized I really did not want them, I was just having a stressful moment. Made me smile because it felt pretty good to realize…

Good Morning everyone! Hope you all have a GREAT day. LET'S DO THIS! See you all later.

HI all. My name is Dee and I am 56 years old. I have two beautiful children, also do not have any grandchildren. Have been married for 34 years. I work in an office at a computer also.

Goals for December. 1. Drink 2 liters of water a day. 2. Stay at 1,200 or less a day. 3. Exercise 30 minutes a day. 4. One cheat day a week but keep it reasonable. 5. Log in everyday. 6. NO MORE EXCUSES!!!!!!

Okay so today was not a good food choice day for me. Let's just say it was a very FREE day!! However I did go for a walk for the first time since my ankle surgery and it felt WONDERFUL!!!. Plan on doing that again real soon. Beautiful weather here in Nebraska, 66 degrees. Only thing that was missing today was my son, who…

I'm going to try this again. Will post more tonight. Off to work for now. Thanks Elimay59. Ankle surgery kind of did me in for the month of November. Did not gain anything but did not lose. I guess that is an accomplishment in itself. LATER!

Okay so I had a horrible day with my eating yesterday. Just ate whatever I wanted and was almost 1,000 calories over. But you have to hear the best part. I laughed at myself it was so UNBELIEVABLE!!! I was so good about logging into the November Challenge and getting to read everyone's posts that I forgot to log into my…

BUMP!!!

Had a good day! Met all of my goals. Love all the posts. As EliMay says they make me laugh and make me cry. You all have become a huge family to me. I am glad that we can share not only our weight loss journey but also our private lives with each other. We all have a story to tell. EliMay so sorry about your sister. I also…

Happy FRIDAY EVERYONE!!! 11-11-11. Let's make it a day to remember. Also THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR VETERANS! Without you we would not have all the pleasures that we enjoy every day. Talk to you all later!

Forgot to check in yesterday. Dang it! So far all goals are being met except the exercise. The leg is doing GREAT. Ready to get the staples out and the boot off and then get back on the bike, treadmill, elliptical, line dancing. Cannot wait. You all are doing a FANTASTIC job! Elimay you are an inspiration to all of us.…

Logged into my diary. Went over my calorie goals but not by much. Logged into November challenge and drank all of my water. Glad that everyone is doing so well and WELCOME to all the new peeps. This is a GREAT challenge and a GREAT group of people. Everyone in this challenge is very supportive of everyone else and also…

I'm BACK!!! Have not done very well with all of my goals since surgery, but today is a new day and I made every goal except for the exercise. Will not be able to complete any exercise for another 9 days. Then watch out world, I hope to hit the floor running. Leg is feeling good, looks good. I drank my water, stayed under…

Okay Day #2. Did not do any of my challenges but had to have surgery today to have the hardware removed from my left ankle. No excuses, I know, but I did however do my diary and check in with the November challenge, so I guess not everything was a wash. Will get back on the bandwagon tomorrow. However probably will not be…

Day 1 is in the books. Did very well. Logging in here for starters. Finished logging in my food diary. Did not exercise today, getting ready for surgery in the morning so the exercise is going to have to be off for a few days. Drank all of my water. See you all tomorrow. Have a GREAT night!!!

Ok here we go. Everyone have a GREAT Day. Talk to you all later!!!

GROSS but really AWESOME!!!

Thanks for posting this. I have been seriously thinking about trying this also. Please keep posting so we can watch and see how you are doing. It will be interesting to follow you and then try this myself after the first of the year.

I'm in so here goes. 1. Check in every day no matter what. 2. Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day. 3. Exercise 5 days a week for 30 minutes. 4. Keep logging into MFP every day, no matter what. Thanks Elimay59.

Thanks, going to give it the old college try. Sugar is definitely going to be my biggest challenge. Just found your challenge for the day. Sounds like a GREAT way to get in shape. How do I make sure I get to see it every day? Will be looking for you tomorrow. Have a WONDERFUL day!!!!

Can I still join? Sure hope so. This sounds like a Great group.

Thank you so much for sharing. I just checked it out and it is going to be very helpful. Again THANK YOU!

Did very well over the weekend with eating, drinking water, and exercising. Will weigh tomorrow and then will let everyone know how my first week went. Looks like everyone is doing a GREAT job. Thanks Elimay59 for bringing us all together and you are doing a GREAT job also. WTG US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope everyone has a GREAT…

We can do this.

Thank you so much for the muffin recipe. Cannot wait to try it. I also have a recipe for protein bars which I am going to try this weekend and then I will let you know if they are any good. No flour and no sugar in these either. 1. Walked 30 minutes--check. 2. Stayed within calorie goal--check. 3. Had cereal with sugar on…

Count me in. 1. Exercise 30 minutes every day. 2. Log in every day. 3. Cut out sugar and try to cut out all flour as well. 4. Stay within calorie goal. 5. Would love to lose 10 pounds but would be satisfied with 5. Thanks so much. EXCITED. Good luck everyone. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

Okay so have stayed the same for 2 dang weeks. Oh well. At least it is not a gain. I am staying on for another go around. Love this group of AWESOME ladies and love you too Misty for everything that you do.

I am up for keeping this going. I love reading how everyone is doing and even though my buddies and I do not talk every day, they are both AWESOME and I would love to continue with them on their journey. As for you Misty, we all appreciate very much everything that you have done for us. You have brought an AWESOME bunch of…
