Good morning! That is quite a story. I am sending a friend request. You can do this!

I, too have a long way to go... I am doing a two week Shred Power Cleanse at the moment. It is a jump start to getting this done. Today is the first day. Something Dr. Ian Smith wrote on the first page for this week stands out. "Regardless of how great the architectural wonder, it all started with one brick or one stone."…

I just wrote in a book "This is MY year!" Just started the Super Shred Diet and loving it! Please add me, I am determined as well! You can do it!

Wonderful! Congratulations!

Fantastic! You are very inspirational!

Bump...

What a great NS V. And what great karma points for your hubby!

Great post. As someone who has followed your progress you can tell them to log on and I'll tell them. You are very straightforward and positive and one of the people who makes me want to stay on track. When we are done we can just smile knowingly.. :)

Happy Tuesday everyone. So, I have to confess..sometimes my cravings get to be too much and I give into them. Today I had french fries for lunch and they were great, but now I am regretting that choice. I know this is not going to be my best weigh in on Thursday. I have a great week, and then the next week will gain a few…

Sounds like everyone had a great weekend. My DH is in Colorado for the next 10 days, so I was home with my FIL and the Bear. The Bear is our puppy, a 7 month old, 75 pound Bernese Mountain Dog. He got into something and wasn’t feeling well, so I hung out with him to make sure he was ok. He was. Once I knew he was ok, I did…

Good afternoon, everyone. Happy Friday! I am thankful to be here and your posts have made my day! TOPS meeting went well last night. I lost 6.5 pounds last week, but that was taking away part of what I gained when we had all the company. Of course, I went home and rewarded myself with some potato chips. DOH! Today I am…

Hope every one is having a great day! Today is my TOPS meeting. The thing that helps me the most is being held accountable for my weight every week. There are only 7 of us...but they are a great group of women. Most of them have been going for over 30 years. WOW! They remind me of a the benevolent aunts with a side of…

I'm so sorry, Janemartin92 and Janehadji...I wrote to you as the same person because that is what I'd written and you are quite different. I'm sure you will be glad to know that as well...HA! It won't happen again. So sorry... Shawna

Good afternoon! 25 pounds down since June 8...yay! I read a great article about 6 Nutrients for Faster Weight Loss here... http://www.womenshealthmag.com/weight-loss/the-vitamin-d-diet. I then looked up foods with the highest levels of each of these nutrients... Salmon is just right up there in several categories. My goal…

Good afternoon, everyone! Hope your day is going well. I was a bit nervous about this soup I made this weekend. I determined to use whatever was at Pumpkin Hill, my local produce farm. I ended up with cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, chicken stock, curry and coconut milk. It actually turned out great and is very lo cal as…

Good morning, everyone. I've gone back and read, but I'll start from this morning as I'm sure you all have better things to do than read a novella. This is such the right place for me; I'm very happy to have found it. I tried WW in the past, but I didn't seem to connect. I LOVE MFP! I have a long way to go, but I think…

Good afternoon everyone. I've been reading through this thread and think it is the one for me! I am happy to see so many awesome encouraging each other and offering such great advice, shoulders when needed, and encouragement. I hope to take part in all of that. My name is Shawna and I now have just under 100 lbs to lose to…

Sounds yummy! Bump

Bump!

Fabulous! You are Fabulous!

Wow, you are my hero! Excellent job! I have lost a little over 17 pounds in a month and have 100 to go. I am happy to see it can be done!

Hi, I'm new here and would love to set some goals with the fab women in this thread.. My goals for this month are: 1. Lose 15 pounds 2. Exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. 3. Start feeling better and acting like it... We are going on vacation for 10 days this month, so another goal will be to make sure I stay…

Hi Sarah! I love what you said about accountability. I have been trying to lose weight for a few years and I finally realized I need that accountability. I joined a local TOPS group to make sure I don't cheat when I get on that scale. It is really helping. Being overweight can be very lonely and so can losing it. It is…

Fabulous! Your story is inspiring!

I am in. I just started MFP last week and am so ready to get this done! Anyone can add me!
