This is so depressing, especially the sweet potato. I always believed them. Darn manufacturers. They're like drug dealers. Keep us coming back for more food to stuff ourselves. Good grief!!

You are an inspiration to all. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

First of all I would like to congratulate you in your weight loss journey with losing 110 lbs. I myself have just started my journey 1/17/16, and have lost a total of 66 lbs. so far with 90 more to go. It is a journey sometimes with many pitfalls, but those who make it through should be lifted up and not felt trodded on.…

I just love your comment, especially the last sentence "Let me do me, you do you". I'm going to get this printed on a tee shirt to wear when I go to my mother's house. She will greet me at the door with a platter of fried chicken, and an hour later will tell me how heavy I am. She has been doing this for years. Very…

Thank you for the recipe. I'm on my way to the grocery store now!

If it wasn't for you initiating this challenge, I truly believe I would have not accomplished the 20 lb. weight loss I have achieved. With you and the YELLOW TEAM drive, you kept me motivated to accomplish the impossible (all in my mind). I hope to periodically keep you informed of my continued weight loss journey and help…

I have enjoyed myself immensely ladies. I started week 1 at 297.2 lbs. and finished this past Monday at 277.2 - 20 lbs. lost in eight weeks!!! I could not have finished like with without your help. Keep in touch, and good luck with your weight loss ventures.

Happy Happy Easter. Fell of the wagon at the luncheon buffet. Back on this evening. Have to do double duty with exercises. I just washed and folded a load of laundry at the hotel I work for on the week-ends. I can't find this type of exercise in the exercise data base. Any suggestions on another match type (sheets, towels,…

Good morning YELLOW team. I'm sitting here making my meals out on the diary sheet for the weekend. I was invited out by some friends to eat Easter brunch at a restaurant buffet (Lord help me). I laughed so hard when I looked in the database for "Buffet Brunch". Came up with an entry for "big *kitten* Easter Brunch".…

RedVelvette thank you for you have done for me. I have met some wonderful people along the way (you included). I wish you all the best in your continued weight loss journey. I'm getting teary now!

So sorry about the previous entry. This is my first attempt in inserting pictures here. (haha)

Jane - so sorry you were having problems. I just found out that the challenge group is now closed out. They only accept 100 participants (4 teams of 25) and have reached their quota for this session. It occurs every 8 weeks. I will let you know when the next one starts (probably mid May), if you are still interested. I'm…

By George, I did it. Hope you enjoy this site as much as I do. Don't let one meal defeat you. So you age some cookies. Continue on with the next meal. We all deserve a break once in a while. Don't beat yourself up about it. It is in the PAST. Gloria

Jane here is the site, I'm no wiz at the computer game hope this works: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10353079/welcome-to-challenge-23-please-read#latest

morning ladies. Where has the time flew. I lost 3 lbs. this week, yahoo!!! Jane the other group is under "Challenge #23 - Spring Time". I want to thank you two yellow team members for your encouragement and support. Without you two it would have been one lonely journey.

Busy weekend here for me with church conference and 2nd job. Found another challenge site (Challenge #23-Spring) that appears to be perpetual throughout the year for 8 weeks. Looks more intense than our current one. I think I will give it a try. Hope your house gets healthy!

Well I see we came in 2nd again. Better luck this week.

Thank you for the honor!

Good work out! Went for a walk with my doggie "nephew". He is not use to walking outside. I thought I'd have to pick the little thing up on the way back home, but we made it. He collapsed for the rest of the night. I thought it would be me since I'm not that active yet!

I would like to join your challenge. I am currently in one now that will be ending on the 28th of March. I really feel that these challenges keep you more accountable for the journey to lose weight. I don't feel so alone.

Jane, sorry to hear about the baby being ill, hope the little type gets well soon. The life style and checks sounds interesting. Our insurance company offers something like this. I'm going to miss our challenge when it's over. Hope we can keep in touch with our progress with each other. Have a good week, and let's kick…

Happy Ides of March everyone! Pushing myself (and to redeem the .6 from week 7 for tea YELLOW) extra hard this week. Good luck everyone.

Thank you everyone. Go YELLOW! Watch out for us next week. Wishing everyone a good week 7.

Good morning ladies. It worked! I lost 2 lbs. Yahoo. Hopefully I'll be in new numbers next Monday. Everyone keep up the good work. Catch up with you later.

TGIF!!!!! Right now I'm so hungry I can eat the door off of the refrigerator. Good thing I'm at work. Almost time for lunch, thank goodness. I am trying to stay off the scale daily. When the numbers don't move as fast as I want them to, I get depressed. How often do you weigh yourselves?

Hi Darcy - I looked over your food diary. I think you also need to include a column to include sodium. Often you will retain water (increased weight) by over eating in this component in your diet. Also, below I see that you are either not drinking water or just not recording it. This is VERY important. What goes in must…

Thank you so much in sharing your amazing journey with us. You are truly amazing. God bless you and keep on keeping on.

You look like a different person, stay for the long haul. I'm sure you feel so much better!

Thanks for all you do to help keep me motivated. You are a big help!

Good morning my team mates. Hope you're having a good start. I keep forgetting to check in on the end of the week boxes. I have just been reading Weeks 3-6 entries. I was surprised to see I have won some challenges. No wonder everyone was congratulating me. Silly me! Talk to you later.
