I have been here 45 days and today I hit my first goal....10 pounds lost! Twenty pounds to go and when I get there, I will see if I can do 10 more. I am committed....I am strong...I am changing my life.

  • Another Freaky Friday! Lana, I see a loss there....good show, Mate! And the SO has not revealed his moving plan destination to me yet. Maureen, I stopped logging awhile back. It wasn't helping me. But I know it is helpful for most people. I wish they would upgrade their system, though. Just use manufacturers numbers…

  • Good Afternoon! Sara, I had a similar thing happen recently. The SO told me he is planning to sell his house and leave NJ....says he can't afford to continue living here. So I have backed off some....just as well. But a new number for you is awesome! Lana, thanks! And it's dreary here too. But the rain is still needed. Had…

  • G'day All! @frankwbrown , great consistent losses....WTG! Day 92—05/06— 171 - I am not concerned about the gain....its my body. I didn't do anything to cause a gain. Finished up the pasta salad for lunch. Might have fish for dinner. Day 93—05/07— 170.8 - Feeling so blah today...not sure why. No exercise as a result. Day…

  • Happy Mother's Day Everyone! Lana, the day here was beautiful, but the rain is on its way. My daughter took me out to lunch and I got a wonderful surf and turf meal. I know my weight will be up tomorrow, but that's ok...it was worth it. Then we went to gift and antique shops and walked around. Didn't buy anything but just…

  • Good Fri-YAY! Got my lab results....everything normal. A1c went down from 6.2 to 6.1! I know it doesn't sound like any big deal but to a diabetic, every little 10th of a point is good. I am still in the pre diabetic area and although diabetes never goes away, controlling it is everything. I hope to hit 6.0 next time.…

  • Good Day! Sara, mmmm....blueberry cake. I need to bake another butter cake. Yesterday I got my bloodwork done...waiting on my A1c results. Also got my nails done again...a happy pink. It really is a nice mood booster to get my nails done. Made appointment for the dogs grooming but he has to wait a week. Today I have some…

  • Good Morning! I try to go through everyone's posts, read and "like" them. Whether you lost or gained, it doesn't matter. If you gained, it's just as important to own that by posting that as it is to post a loss. And remember to make your goals realistic. A half pound a week may not seem like much, but that's my average…

  • Good Afternoon, All! Oh, Lana....that sounds like a real mess! Sure hope you can get the rest of it up...that could be dangerous. Be careful. Maureen, when my mom broke her shoulder, I had to do all the chores around the house for weeks. It was no fun. But hey, what are kids for? ,ha ha! Got my hair cut....much better to…

  • G'day, Mates! Maureen, I wish I had the willpower to snack from a veggie tray. Sometimes I will snack on baby carrots with ranch dressing. And I can share with my doggie, sans dressing. 😁 But I am more likely to have something sweet. @angf0679, A retreat sounds great! And yes, I wouldn't worry about your food then....we…

  • Good Morrow, Good People Lana, I have a Maltese. He is a good little buddy, but a little on the anxious side. He is back to his old self now. As for shortages, I needed TP, and I usually buy a case so I just got one. As for food, I will have to go with the flow. It's gonna be a hot day. I have bills to pay...that's…

  • I felt compelled to post here....I hit a milestone today. I came to MFP years ago when I weighed 210 pounds, desperate for something to help me before it was too late. It was the help I needed. I was able to get down to 160 pounds....looked and felt great! But as time went on, I became complacent. My weight began to creep…

It's recognizing it that gets you back on track! @dawnbgethealthy, I know....right? I am having the same issue. The body does NOT want to let go of that weight that was so easy to put back on. Two…

  • Howdy! Lana, I decided to let the Vietnam Veterans group pick up my donations. I think its better than Goodwill...especially since I won't have to drag and load them into my car.

After a salad dinner, I purged my closet of 3 kitchen sized trash bags of clothes. I just had TOO many things that I either no longer liked or never…

  • Good morning! Ok....I am officially going senile. I had the wrong dates listed in my last post. All fixed now, but SHEESH! @deepwoodslady , I can't take the GLP-1 meds either. That's because the side effects were too much to handle. That's why I came back to MFP and started back losing weight the old fashioned way. I envy…
