Hi, I was wondering if I could join in with this group, too? I am just starting Atkins. I tried it once years ago but wasn't ready for the commitment even though I had good luck on it. My Mom is doing it with me so we have a buddy system. :smile: I have PCOS and I'm quickly running out of time to try and have a baby. The…

Welcome to the club! I, too, have a large end goal and I can't let myself think about that big number. Instead of am working on 5 lbs at a time. I have read many things about ways to work out when you have kids and most often they recommend going for a walk with the stroller and your son. Or get one of those things that…

Good morning! Just thought I would check in and see how everyone is doing. I have been away for a couple of weeks on vacation and have not logged any of my food. My huband and I didn't do as good as we could have but I am satisfied with what we were able to accomplish. Plus we did a lot of walking (which I felt way more…

I'm here! ) I hope everyone had a great holiday. I didn't do the best on my eating but still came out all right. I lost another half a pound. Walked tonight even though the skies are full of smoke from a neaby wildfire. 4.5 miles and 700 calories so far this week! :)

Good morning to all of you. I am so pleased to have lost another pound! I did not eat good yesterday at all and neither did my husband but we did come home last night and walk two miles! That's the first time in a very long time that I've walked all the way around our neighborhood. I was exhausted but felt so good. Then…

Good morning to you all. Hope you have a wonderful Friday and stick to your goals. Small breakfast for me today. We are having an office luncheon at a really nice Italian restaurant so I am saving up my calories for lunch. Weekends are the worst for me but I think we'll do okay this weekend. Have lots to do to get ready…

I am not a member of any other groups. I don't have too much of a preference on how big this group gets, either. I looked at some other groups and a lot of them were closed and I liked that this one was open. I haven't done too much in the way of posting but I'm hoping that sharing my struggles with others will help me and…

Welcome to Istpaul and kaa016! It sounds like all of you are doing very good this week! I weigh on Sunday mornings and was hoping for another pound this week but just started TOM so I probably won't see any difference. But we'll see. :smile: I know the soda struggle well! I do okay some days but my problem is when I'm…

All of you are doing so good!! My 10 year old niece is already going down the road to obesity and I offered to let her walk with me every night so this will help me stick to it myself! I'm pretty good at it but it's just as easy to say I don't want to. Knowing she will be meeting me each night to walk will keep me…

I would really love to join you. I have been here for a long while but have not been good at staying on the wagon! :( About me: 38 years old, female Married almost 4 years No kids but trying to have one Heaviest I've ever been and I'm miserable! I am not very good at viewing myself in a postive light and I am trying to…

Feel free to add me, too. I have been on here a while but have not been religious about sticking to it. I am really trying hard to make a go of it this time. I have about 150 lbs to lose. :smile:

Wow, I'm so glad I found this thread. I was diagnosed about 7 or 8 years ago. I have been on Metformin ever since then. About two years ago my new ob/gyn increased my dosage from one pill to four a day but I have never noticed that it helped with weight loss. In the beginning I was also put on a low dose of birth control…

Hi, there! I have been on MFP for a few months but have not been steady at it. I am determined to do better. :smile: I have 168 lbs to lose and I find that I simply can't focus on that number. I mean, that's almost as much as my husband weighs! It discourages me greatly. I keep trying to remind myself that I didn't gain…
