Happy Tuesday! @JNettie73 .... Thanks! It's a struggle, but I'm still in the game! Congrats to you as well.... right around the corner from Onederland! @pdd1216 ... Congrats on your shorts going from too tight to loose! What a great NSV! I was recently approved by my insurance company for gel injections, but I would…

Just took some time and read through the past week's posts here..... and I would like to say.... CONGRATULATIONS @Buckeyebabe7l7 .... you got down into ONEderland this month! Yay! Your commitment and hard work is paying off! Good job! :D

You ladies who have been consistent since the beginning of the year are awesome!!! I keep popping in and out of this group like a yo-yo.... which is exactly what my weight has been doing. I am either all in, or all out! I am currently down 18 pounds from January 1..... which should be more, but I am still okay with it. I…

Happy Monday! Y'all are so inspirational.... I really believe I can get all of this extra weight off thanks to all of your stories and support. I am so tired of losing... gaining.... rinse, repeat. I took today and tomorrow off from work cause my youngest grandkids are on spring break this week. I just spent a couple of…

@3rdtimelosesit .... Chair exercising is a great option for those of us with knee and hip issues. We are lucky to have the internet with so many teachers. I would love to be doing more, but I am finally accepting my limitations and being thankful for what I can do. Stay positive... you are doing great!

Congrats to everyone reaching goals! :) Hard to believe one-fourth of 2023 is over. I better get moving if I want to reach my 100-pound loss by 2024! I believe its possible... and I am determined to make it happen. Now that Spring is here, I am looking forward to more time outdoors and getting in more activity to get my…

@pdd1216 ..... Yes.... why is so hard for us to be kind to others but not ourselves? I know I do this to myself, but have never been able to follow through and stop the negative self-talk. I am going to focus on that part of this journey more than anything, as I believe thats the part that has kept me from succeeding.

Good morning All.... You know the old saying... "if you want different results, stop doing the same thing" .... or something like that? Well, I have been 'trying' to lose weight my whole life.... with success, several times. My problem is keeping it off. I recently realized that being an all or nothing gal is my main…

Happy Tuesday everyone! I have been MIA for awhile (still stopping in, just not posting)... due to falling off that proverbial wagon! January was good, February was not. I got my head back in the game at the beginning of March and I am feeling stronger and more motivated than ever. I wish I could bottle and tap into this…

Happy Wednesday everyone! I am so happy that there is only one more week in January. It's always been my hardest month to get through.... I definitely get the winter/post-holiday blues! Just wanted to share a "tip" with you all that I saw in a Youtube video last night..... when you have a sugar craving, chew sugar free…

Lisa.... my fav is Hills Bros. English Toffee cappuccino! Its my Sunday morning splurge!! :)
-
Happy Monday everyone! The weekends go by so quickly... even when I just stay at home doing odds and ends. I didn't stick with my DLK (dirty lazy Keto) completely this week.... I had some bread and drank some sugary cappucino this weekend.... but I still managed a 1.4 pound loss this week. Congrats on your loss this week…
-
Happy Thursday everyone! I am so happy to have found this thread.... so many people I can relate to. I'm sure many of us share the same struggles. At 60 years old, it is very true that the weight is more difficult to get off. Which is why I refuse to let the scale dictate how good/bad I am doing. Its just a number, and I…

Oh my goodness Kelly..... your grandchildren are absolutely adorable!! Do you babysit all of them.... at the same time? They all have such sweet faces. What blessings. Congrats on number 7 also!

@Kelly.... I have a lot of sleeping issues also. The only nights I typically sleep all the way through are when I have a busy, physically active day. I dont have enough of those days... yet. :) I have never heard of Killer Daves products.... but I will definitely look into them. Today, Monday, is my weigh-in day. I am down…

Happy Sunday everyone!! Confession... I struggled with snacking last night. I have done so good during the days without snacking, but last night I caved. I know what the main reason was.... I was too tired to make a decent dinner. Lesson learned. I finally got on my new recumbent bike this morning, Boy, am I out of shape!…

Thanks for the welcome Evelyn! I am a crafter, so I sit a lot while at home too. Not good!! I like swimming, but not indoors. In the summer I go to our community pool or the beach quite a bit on the weekends. Swimming is definitely a great exercise when you have painful joints. I am really hoping that my knees improve as I…

I am also on a journey to lose in 2023! I am 60 years old, 5'3".... started Jan 2 at 269. I have a goal to lose 120 pounds. I work full-time at a desk job, so my activity level is very sedentary. I have severe arthritis in my knees, but I am receiving a doctors care for that, so the pain in tolerable right now. I did get a…

I love DLK (dirty lazy keto)... been doing it since May and have lost 50 pounds (still have 60+ to lose). I log my food every day on MFP to keep track of my total calories. I try to keep my net carbs between 30 and 40. MFP doesnt calculate net carbs, but its easy to figure out. I have totally cut out sugar from my diet....…

Hi... I'm Jodie. I tried juicing about a month ago for just a few days and loved it! I wasn't really prepared for the constant produce shopping and time it takes to clean and prepare the fruits/veggies... along with cleanup time. So.... now I am ready! I went to the market today and bought enough produce for three days of…

"i don't think im a hideous monster". And yet, you dont even have a pic on MFP? :huh: Online relationships are not easy, but being honest and upfront, about everything, is crucial. Best of luck to you!

Happy Monday ladies.... :flowerforyou: I am having an All juice day.... and no, I dont calculate the calories. All of my concoctions contain both fruits and veggies, so I just keep the portions within a reasonable amount. My hubby thinks he can drink non-stop because its juice!! LOL... I set him straight though. I havent…

Hi ladies! I'm Jodie.... 51 years old and still waiting for menopause to start! Last September (with more than 100 pounds to lose) I decided it was time to get some weight off before menopause. I lost consistently until this past February when the scale stopped moving. On April 29th I started juicing as my main meals. I…

I agree.... I would much rather hear the heavy lifters grunting than listen to the chatters!
