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.

  • Hey....I've been there. I had to hit rock bottom before I was ready to stop the madness. I lost 50 pounds here on MFP. Then I got complacent. I was regaining and I came back to MFP twice....but I wasn't ready. When I gained back 30 of those 50 pounds, that was when I got serious again. I have lost 15 of that 30 so far.…

  • Good Morning! Safe travels, Lana! Maureen, I remember Teacher In Service Days....when we had off and the teachers didn't. I guess it's similar? And a 3+ mile walk sounds great! The wind is ridiculous....I have never experienced anything like it, short of a hurricane. I had to move my garden flag against the building so it…

  • Good Morning! Looking to see how everyone did this week. Day 08—02/11— 178 - Having carb withdrawal from Sunday. Got an Air fryer recipe book today. Looking forward to checking it out. Day 09—02/12— 176.6 - Much better food day yesterday. And no snacking after 8, which makes a difference. SuperBowl gain is going away. I…

  • Good Mornin'! Maureen, I have never heard of Qsymia. I hope it's the answer for you. 🙂 Lana, I am SO sorry the cruise isn't turning out the way wished. 🙁 I have never been on a cruise, myself, but they sound wonderful. Sara, you are really organized...I envy you that. This weather is so bleah....I can't deal with a lack of…

  • Good Morning! Sara, thanks! I watched some of the parade yesterday....it was amazing how many people attended. Too old for that now, not to mention the whole transportation issue. And I have Comcast ATM....never had a problem with their CS before, but I guess they are farming out more to overseas. I didn't get to the store…

  • G'Morning! Snow arrived, but the parking lot is clear....I guess the plows got on top of things early. Spent 2 hours yesterday....yes, that's TWO HOURS....on chat with CS from Comcast and kept going around in circles with nothing being accomplished. The whole thing gave me a headache! I will have to take a trip to their…

  • Good Afternoon! @Lynn__W , I can identify. I always went with the "nothing but water after 8 pm" rule and I have been bending that. I need to be more self disciplined.

  • Monday Monday, everyone! Maureen, it's great you were able to get out and walk! I can't get up the motivation in the cold. Hopefully your surgery gets rescheduled soon! Lana, it was a success, thanks! There were some leftovers which I brought home. I will have that as a topping to scrambled eggs till it's gone. I actually…

  • Good Morning! Day 01—02/04— 174.6 - Need to buy more salad mix...trying to eat a salad a day. Day 02—02/05— 174.4 - Not real hungry today. Had a sandwich for lunch. Don't know about dinner. I have doubled my metformin dose, which my Endo is fine with. I think its helping with my sugar and appetite. Day 03—02/06— 175 - Been…

  • Happy SuperBowl Sunday! Glad you are OK, Sara! Wow.... Lana, so far, so good. The storm we expected was a bust, which is just fine. But Tuesday they are talking about 6 inches....bleah! Will be putting the cover on my car tomorrow in preparation. I am ok on food....I can't be one of those people who runs to the grocery…

  • Good Morning! Lana, you are right. I think the whole country needs a party. Another storm is coming, although not so much snow. But Tuesday another storm is coming with snow. And another one after that. If I were 10 years old again, I would be jumping up and down. But since I don't go to school or do any sledding now, I'm…

  • Good Morning! Got an invite to a Super Bowl party on Sunday. I kinda NEED a party right now. Was asked to make my 7 Layer Dip, which is a bit labor intensive but I am going to try. It IS a nice appetizer. Not going out today, though with the ice situation to get the ingredients. Will have to wait till tomorrow. I think I…

  • Good Day! @indoorsy_ , at this time of year, I am more focused on calorie/carb intake. I am not a gym rat....haven't been for a long time.

  • Howdy, Crew! I have been trying to crochet a hooded scarf for my granddaughter, but the boucle yarn is maddening! I do a few rows and I have to stop. And I have been crocheting for decades. Boucle is much easier to knit. But I will keep at it. Made a salmon salad sandwich for lunch. I haven't had any bread in over a week…

  • Good Afternoon! Maureen, hope you have better luck with your new cleaners. Just about to get some lunch....didn't have breakfast. I can't help worrying about the future. My anxiety is on overdrive. But I am not going to use that as an excuse to eat and go backwards. Something positive has to come out of the future and if…

  • Hi! I have had that issue this week....and I am diabetic, too. There is no shame in treating yourself in moderation. If you deprive yourself completely, you will go crazy with cravings. Have a little something. I had one small piece of cake this afternoon....I don't feel guilty. And you shouldn't either. 🙂

  • Hi! I have plantar fasciitis and my podiatrist gave me stretching exercises for my feet to do before I walk. It definitely helps. You are NOT a failure. Pain is a tough thing to push through for anyone. How long/far do you walk? Maybe start out with shorter distances or rest halfway through. Also, there are indoor walking…
