@Mellykay88 What an insightful and wise talk you had with yourself during your walk. <3 You come up with some really great thoughts. I hope it's helping you as much as it's helping us. I was WAY OVER my calorie goal for 4 days, eating lots of donuts. Now, I've been back under the last 5 days. I'm so much happier when I…

Ha ha! Thanks @bigghunny :) :D .

@bmeadows380 I totally get what you're saying about the newer music and dance stuff. Hope you can get the elliptical working when you're back. I love the elliptical. I'm in my mid 50's now, and am finding it so much more difficult to get in a real intense workout at the gym. It's just taking me forever to try to build up…

What does QOTW mean? I thought I could figure it out from y'all's comments, but, I can't.

I've had a few NSV's lately. I went down 2 holes in my watch. My underwear that I used to love wearing is really sagging on me-- about 3-4 inches down I'm also in a size smaller bra, both around and cup size. My 4x clothes are about not wearable anymore. Even some of my 3x shorts won't stay up where they belong anymore.

I lost 2.6 lbs. Group Total: 39.5 Remaining: 20.5

@MzCara148 Glad you figured out about your missing med! Hope your pharmacy has it in stock and that you feel better about your gain. I've been off-track the last couple of weeks eating loads of cheese and crackers. Yesterday was some better and today I've even made it back to the gym and did 37 minutes on the elliptical. I…

I used to have a Weight Watchers scale from Wal-Mart that was inconsistent, I got aggregated with it and looked online for a more reliable scale. I found, and still have, a Bow flex glass, 330 pound limit, large enough base scale. I'm a big female, 5'11 witb size 13 feet. With all my weight, i can't put my feet together…

The 1st half of March, I had my stomach virus and lost lots. So, I've been mentally doing the 2nd half of March and trying to lose 7.5 lbs, or more. At mid March, I weighed 314.6. This morning, I weighed and I'm at 309.4. I hope the scale doesn't go back up much in the next few days. @CassieBinTC You've been doing real…

@bigghunny , Melanie, congrats on getting in the 40's for lbs lost!! :D You've been having some good motivation and are so supportive of everyone else. Just think, you've found what is working for you and so much more is also possible. Just keep your head in the game, no matter what goes on during your vacation in Vegas.…

I also have trouble thinking of any reward things. @bmeadows380 , I saw where you mentioned a fancy body wash set. What a great idea!!!! <3 I love that one. I'm going to definitely use that one. I think I will have to bring him (Grover) with me because I can't smell anything anymore due to med side effects. I'm looking…

@theowlbox you sure have a lot of compassion and caring thoughts. What a kind post where you replied to @jules81 Thanks for being you.

@Mellykay88 you've really thought things trough and arrived at some good advice for yourself. What you said makes sense and I need to pay more attention to the things you brought out. Thanx

@MzCara148 That seems like a nice exercise choice for you. I hope you found your spot in the workouts. @CassieBinTC Sorry about your accident and so glad you're back. @bmeadows380 What will power it must take in order to stay away from all that tasty food brought in to work. I love bread too. ;) @cassie9393 Keep working…

I was away being sick with a bad stomach virus, then, being off my schedule. I've missed y'all. My scale has an upper weight limit of 330, and starts showing strange, inaccurate weights in the mid 320's. My last Dr. appointment in February, I weighed 334. Yesterday, at my primary care Dr appointment, I weighed 314. I've…

@rabidhamster87 He and I both clean the house here. We definitely work to stay on top of the cleaning needs. Poor guy, he always gets the parts that require bending over. Neither one of us likes clutter, so, things stay where they should be. So, there's usually not a whole lot of house work to be done at one time. For…

@Mellykay88 ---Love your attitude! <3 You're really doing well. I love coming in here and finding out what you've done next. Your enthusiasm has rubbed off on your mom! How sweet of you getting her a membership at the gym. I bet you and your mom will really enjoy DC, since you'll be up for all the great walking around…

@rabidhamster87 I totally understand how you feel with your back. That's such a sharp, painful feeling. At what disks is your pinched nerve located? (L3-L4, or such??) I'm so glad your finance is kind and helps you with your pants and shoes, when you are unable to do that. I get what you're saying about getting down there…

Thanks for sharing about your lymphedema @tammyfranks2 . I never knew about this medical condition, but, I've seen people in some stores that seem to have what you've described. I hope you can get this looked at by your Dr. I hope there is something they can do for it. Losing weight is still a great thing and should help…

@bmeadows380 I love reading your posts! You make everything so interesting with your great details. Thanks for taking the time to really tell things like you do.

@fatoldladyonamission What a great looking teadmill. Looks like you have lots to play with on the dashboard. How nice that you have it in front of your window. You really broke it in well, with those 2 super walks. So glad you got this.

@bmeadows380 You are rockin' going up and down those stairs!!! You've improved so much. Keep up the great work.

@tammyfranks2 I LOVE Woman Within! I also buy my clothes there. I buy the tall clothes, when I can, as I'm 5'11". I had a NSV last night. I live 1/2 mile from both Kryspy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts. All day and evening yesterday, I did well and stayed under my calorie goal. Then, after supper, I was strongly wanting a…

Awww, I really wish I could weigh myself at home. At a Dr. visit this week, I weighed 334. So, I recorded that weight. I have a nice scale at home, but, I bought it at a time when I weighed less and was just positive that I would never again get over 330 lbs, it's weight limit. Anyway, my scale gets a little freaky when I…

I listen to either my saved playlist, or to a couple of throw back iHeart stations from the 70's and 80's. I used to go out to certain clubs in the 70's and I remember dancing to those great songs and when I play the great beats when I work out, it is wonderful.

@fatoldladyonamission You're doing fantastic!! I know what you mean about those bike seats. I guess you just have to get used to it. thinking of you, I might try adding the bike in at the gym. Surpurb on getting your own treadmill! o:) Today's Saturday, so, I'm wondering if yours came in like it was supposed to. Let us…

I am an emotional eater. I eat most of my calories when I'm bored, which is a lot of the time. I find that getting up and getting out of the house and doing affordable things, like going to the gym on the city buses, help me out lots. I just need to find more productive things to occupy my time. Sometimes, that's hard, due…

@rabidhamster87 I hope you're happy when you began your new position with your company. You can always go to the other company, but, it might be harder to get re-employed with your current company, if you chose to go back (if you moved on). Just a thought. I'm glad I found this chit chat thread and finally came to it and…

@kwiris0328 Good for you for getting some walking done. It will help you to feel good. I hope both you and your dog enjoyed your Monday walk.

@Mellykay88 I bet you were super worn down feeling, with that bad anemia. Glad you went to the ER and got checked out. Let us know what your Dr. says, if you want.
