@cschmitz110515 Great detail on your reasons for wanting to lose weight. I think being specific like that will really help you visualize your goal.

Just For Today - Thursday Stay in green 64 oz water 10K steps Train someone on leave accrual process Balance medical bills to insurance statements Talk to daughter about loan terms Call homeowners insurance about concerns re house settling & any coverage Review early retirement option - Evaluate should I "retire" when I…

I am completely on board with what @Bex953172 said. I am a very open person, I have a thick thick skin. But my lord, the way people feel that they can tell an absolute stranger what to do - especially when she will want a tip. You got to wonder about people! You rant on!

R09 SW 197.8 (My round 1) R23 SW 194.0 R24 SW 192.2 R25 SW 191.6 missed R26 (didn't really finish 25 either missed last two days) R27 SW 194.0 I totally missed R26 and I am late for this round, but I have my numbers. I've barely been online since mid-December; it was a busy month! Happy to get back to what passes for…

Just For Today - Wednesday * Stay in green * 10K steps ..... weather permitting * Tender my resignation for real * Look/review for carpet spot cleaners - anyone have recommendations? My cat with cancer is starting to upchuck with some frequency (not unusual with his illness)

In hat case I agree "people/society makes way too much fuss over nudity and being naked. "

I step on the scale EVERY morning. Reminds me what I am fighting.

I just get dragged off to other pursuits sometimes. Can't afford to stay away for too long, but it was the holidays and there was a car crash (daughter mostly OK), and shopping and job interviews and and and ..... As Roseanne Roseannadanna used to say, " its always something · if its not one thing its another ..."

Definitely the longest run of this year! :laugh:

@Jimb376mfp Thanks for keeping us rolling in 2018! I just wrapped up my 2017 in the old thread. I didn't lose 52 pounds, but I lost over 30! 31.7 to be exact. I've loved being in here with other people who help keep me inspired. Looking forward to the new year. I will not lose 52 pounds this year. My original goal weight…

^^^^ This is why I miss the awesome button!

Week 52 Starting weight: 226.4 Goal weight: 175 Last week weight: 194.0 This week weight: 194.7 This period gain: 0.7 :( Total weight lost: 31.7 This years successes: 31.7 pounds lost this year. I haven't been able to figure out the BBC code to make the text larger, but if I could this would be posted in huge letters! I…

I can't meet my goals if I don't post any so..... Just For Today * Stay in the green * 10K+ steps * Tender my resignation (sounds so much easier than it will be) * Review leave accrual documentation * Review GTL documentation * Vacuum downstairs

My kids are 23 and 26 and they still get some of the blame. :laugh: 56 here - oops! now its 2018 so I call myself 57. (It's easier to remember the age with the new year - like in racehorses) Keep to your dreams. It can't come real if you don't reach for it! Welcome - are you a teacher? I am getting ready to leave a school…

Another catch up item from last year: My ending year weight was 194.7 :( It is not what I expected but I will take it. I really slacked off the last three months, but I did not lose control. Staying flat and not gaining weight is a victory. And I lost over 30 pounds in 2017. Here's to 2018!

I know this kinda belonged in the old thread but here is my recap of 2017. 2017 had good points, although I am looking forward to a new year. Five good things that happenned in 2017 * I had a marvelous trip to Key West in March to celebrate my brother's 60th birthday. * I experienced a total solar eclipse with some of my…

2017 was shrimp, cheese and champagne. 2018 will start off with Hoppin' John and greens.

Happy New Year!

Hello to the new posters! Nice to see people making strides. Welcome. I am not as regular as some but I am (or should be) committed!

These days of December have passed so quickly. It seems I just posted but it was weeks ago. Good grief! @OConnell5483 - I also say WHOOP, WHOOP, WHOOP! I hope my job transition goes as smoothly as @OConnell5483. I start in mid January. I have to give notice the day we return from winter closure, January 2. I absolutely…

My favorite prom dress (eons ago) was made to order by my grandmother. Very classic simple dress in a flattering fabric. That woman could sew. What skills you both have!

It's my favorite challenge. You must join!

OMG! OMG! OMG! The race is back!!!!! I'm so excited.

R09 SW 197.8 (My round 1) R24 SW 192.2 R25 SW 191.6 Last time I said "I am ready to just walk away from the last two rounds!" I guess I kind of did. I last posted on Dec 1 in JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ROUND 24. I barely kept up with my two "schools" on MFP and have not really posted anywhere else. I guess I have been in a bit…
