I actually lost a lb. this week. I have been stressed and thought I was going to gain. We were on the road yesterday...My husband and I split an entree (that was a first)! You are all so inspiring!:smile:

I didn't get an official workout today but I did clean my son's room all day! My oldest son will be coming home from college for the week. I am going to have to be very careful this week. We tend to eat bigger meals (and dessert) when he is home. I am going to practice portion control...easier said than done. I got up…

Exercise and new glasses!:tongue:

Barbie, you are an inspiration! I am glad your husband is doing well. We all know how easy it would be to give into our emotional eating urges. I am reading everyone's post and trying to keep up. You all are so supportive. I will be off work for a week so I am hoping to log on daily. Tomorrow's plan: Execise!:bigsmile:

I can't believe a week before Thanksgiving and I am so motivated to embrace my Life Style change! It is so refreshing to read all your positive feedbacks. We are not alone in this journey. I even bought some Light and Fit yogurt for snacking.:tongue: Next on the agenda....daily exercise!

I went back to CURVES today! I am hoping to get back into a regular routine. I even calculated my calories and know what I have to work on. Thank you for welcoming me to this site. I recruited my fitness Pal friend, angl. She is a great motivator!:blushing: Everyone is so positive. Thank you!

Thanks! I will try to post often. I am motivated by all your stories.:wink:

Hi Everyone, I would love to be part of your group. I am 52 and need to lose 40 lbs. I was off MFP for a month due to illness but I'm ready to be back. Do you do weekly weigh-ins? Thanks!:flowerforyou:

Stevia or other "diet" additives always upset my stomach!

Welcome Jaxibee! You found a great group. We just started a 5lb. Turkey Challenge. Good for you joining MFP. :flowerforyou:

Patty, would it help if we don't post our weights with you.? We can all keep track of our weights (down to ounce.:wink: ) It sounds like you don't need the added stress. I think we can manage. Is everyone okay with this? We are here to support one another.:heart: Keeping are group going is most important.

Patty, we all can relate to your feelings. We all know how hard it is to stay on track. I was just thinking how it has been two months and I am still playing with the same up2 down2 game. It would be so easy to say forget it. Then I look at the positive side...my weight is still down from July and if not for this site, it…

I was up the past few weeks and am slowly coming back down. I lost .6. Every little bit helps...I hope, no, I Will lose 5 lbs by Turkey Day!:tongue: We are supposed to have our first storm tomorrow here in Northern California.:glasses: Thanks angl for motivating us to post!:flowerforyou:

richardssrm, You're human! We all have those days. Congrats on losing 11 lbs. My father-in-law use to say..."Think of it as a sack of potatoes"! Visual Cues can be helpful. Keep going. Let's all try to get through this month. I bought "yucky" candy so I wouldn't eat it. Not working too well!:blushing: Good luck this…

Start fresh the next day...Don't hit yourself over the head. Now you go girl!:wink:

spiragirl and Chrissey, great to hear from you. I know I play mind games with the scale too! I went back to CURVES this week. I am going to try to leave work early and go workout! Turkey Day Challenge is on!!!!:laugh:

Week 12! We are still here whether we have lost much or not. Yeah!:laugh: Congrats to January for meeting her first goal. If we stick together we can do it! Way to go Patty, one pound is one pound! I keep losing and gaining the same 2 pounds....I am going to try very hard to get over that this week!:drinker:

Let's keep each other going! The holidays are almost here. How about the Turkey Challenge....Everyone try to lose at least 5 lbs. by then. For some this is easy but for me....every pound is like a 10 lb. sack of potatotes. Hang in there. NHC (No Halloween Candy!):grumble: :tongue:

I want to stay in the group. Let's keep it going. I thought I had sent you my weight but couldn't remember if I did it or "thought" I did...some of us are at the great stage of life that begins with an M!:tongue: Have a great day, Patty! As for us on this side of the world...good night!:yawn:

Congratulations on making the changes. You have so much to get healthy for...a new baby granddaughter!:flowerforyou:

Hi Everyone! I was up a little but I knew it would be. You can't go four days without logging in your calories! New week, fresh start!:smile: Hope everyone has a great week. Let's move!

I am trying so hard to get back into calorie counting...been off the rocker this week! I haven't been on-line much but it is so great to see some of you doing so wonderful. Wow! 8lbs. angl, 22 for Chrissey, you go girls. :bigsmile:

I am officially starting to work on the turkey day challenge. I put it out there because I Need motivation. I didn't track this week but only gained .3 ! I need to go the other way. I have been very stressed at work and have been letting it affect my diet. No more!!!:blushing: Hope everyone is doing well.

Welcome back to ldr624! Angl is right. We need to stay committed. It is so hard b/c we are all so busy. Now that school is underway I am going to try to put myself first, leave work earlier to go workout! The holidays are around the corner. Let's all challenge each other to lose at least 10lbs. by Turkey Day!!:laugh: Who's…

I have a hard time losing weight. You've got to watch what your eating calorie-wise. I often will not go over my limit but I am not making the best choices...I tend to cheat and need to stop it! Inches are good to lose so be proud of what you are doing!!:wink:

Congratulations on hitting the big 50! I feel so motivated and inspired by you. You Go Girl!!:wink:

Your smart to start watching your diet/weight at 42. I let myself gain 60 pounds from age 42-52! I have lost 25 and am continuing to work on it. I discovered this site in July. It is really motivating. Good luch to you!:happy:

Can't wait to try this. I love Kahlua!:drinker:

Chrissey, you are at 200 and still lost weight (in spite of your weekend)! You are doing so awesome. Get back on the train this week. I get really sick too if I eat t junk food. I am trying to exercise regularly. I had a bad week last week but am ready to do better. We all have slip-ups...went to a bbq on Sunday and I went…

Good to hear from you Patty! You can keep track by how your clothes are fitting you. Believe me, we don't need a scale for that!:laugh: Angl, we will all be thinking of you. Hope you will be feeling better soon. I agree with angl...don't give up! We all want to throw in the towel...Remember that's how we got to this point…
