Last Week: 192lbs This Week: 189lbs (-3lbs) TD Goal: 183lbs 6 lbs to go! I may have to adjust my goal! :flowerforyou: Great job everybody!

All of my ideas have been said, but if you want to read a book about someone who has dealt with weight and emotional eating, The Weightloss Diaries by Courtney Rubin is GREAT. It is about her struggle with it, and how she is now healthy after having been overweight her whole life. I am reading it right now, and I really…

I agree -- don't worry about the calories until your heat works! Though, have you tried hot water with lemon? Mmm. :smile:

Congratulations! I don't know ya, but I am SO proud of ya! :flowerforyou: Thanks for being an inspiration for the rest of us!

Barb -- that is not silly! That is a GREAT idea! I will give that a try tomorrow! It's hard to enjoy the nature and the nice weather when I'm thinking... "Was that lap four or lap five? Or was it neither of those..."

Hey SHGPs! :heart: I just walked either 3 or 3.5 miles! I don't know because I lost track. How silly is that? I was told that a medication I am on might have short-term memory issues but...being unable to remember if I have done six .5 laps or seven of them? Seriously! Counting to seven should not be hard. :tongue: Either…

I voted! Your daughter is ADORABLE, and I hope she wins her visit! The picture was wonderful, as well. Got some photography experience? :flowerforyou: Let us know if she wins!

Wow! Congratulations! You are an inspiration. I can't wait til I can join you in the medium aisle! :flowerforyou:

Thank you SO much you guys. All your advice is really helpful -- thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom with me. It sucks to hear "Don't do it! Don't eat it!", but that is the right thing to do, so I will do it. No Cajun Chicken linguine for me! That has been the hardest part of this whole thing -- giving up…

Wow! Great job everyone! MFP Starting Weight: 199lbs SHGP Starting Weight: 192lbs (today!) Last Week: 196lbs This Morning: 192lbs (-4)! Goal Weight: 125lbs I should have NO problem on the water challenge. I just inhale water, all day. If I get thirsty, I get cranky.

I am loving getting to know everybody! You are all doing so GREAT, and you are such inspirations to me! This is going to be an awesome group for me, I can tell. :flowerforyou: Barb -- I wish I had somebody in my life to say sweet things like that! That is just adorable, and so uplifting. Even if you feel overweight, or…

Hey Girls! Since you were so kind to allow me to join, I thought I would tell you a little bit about myself! I am a 21 year old on a year-long break from University. I am staying home this year for a few reasons -- to help my family financially, to fully recover from an illness that had me hospitalized earlier in the year,…

Happy Thursday Weigh-In, everybody! It looks like everyone is doing GREAT! Keep up the AWESOME work! I don't know how this happened, and I am wary to believe the scale, but... Last Week - 196 This Week - 192 ( -4 loss ) Turkey Day Goal - 183 :noway: I feel like it's not possible! Is there any way to check to make sure your…

Banana and peanut butter is DELICIOUS. Or, in my case, banana and soy nut butter. But ya know. Resa -- OH. EW. :indifferent: That is disgusting. You may have kept me from over-eating tonight, just by sharing that story...lol!

Is it too late for me to join you guys? :flowerforyou:

Minne-SNOW-ta. (I think I am only the second person to post who is currently living here? Crazy!) Love it here...ya, sure, you-betcha!

Holy moly, guys! I disappeared for a while -- sorry about that! But I am back, and well on my way to my Turkey Day goal. Promise to weigh in on Thursday! :smile: Glad to see everyone is doing well. I am pretty excited -- I found a relatively low-cal, low-carb, low-fat supreme pizza that I am going to make tonight. I was…

September 15,2009 Lisa 9 Kathy 11 Megan 13 Katie 9 Kim 10 Jill 13 Stephanie 10 Sarah 5 Brooke 10 Didn't workout today, so my number stays the same -- I am just posting here so that it shows up on my "My Topics" page so I can find it again! :smile: I also realized there is no way I will meet the 21-workout-day…

WOW! Definitely a difference! I agree with the others -- I can see a difference all over, but especially in your face. A really noticable change! I am jealous, and also inspired! :laugh: You look BEAUTIFUL, and your costume is awesome! I am not a Dr. Who fan (never been introduced!), but I am a costume maker, so, I can…

Oh darlin'! I'm so sorry to hear that. What a JERK! Now that you know his "true colors", I'd say you and your beautiful baby are better off rid of him (though I know this is easier for me to say)! I joined MFP because of a guy who cheated on me, dumped me, and kept all my stuff! :noway: We weren't married yet, but almost!…

Happy Birthday Crazybee and Pawprint! :flowerforyou: Sorry I haven't been around lately! I have the flu :sick: and I have done nothing but lay on the couch, and walk from the couch to my bed (in the next room over). This is the first day I've felt up to making the "trek" to the computer! Hopefully this means I am getting…

Hey everyone! My day has been rough -- emotionally, I am at the end of my rope, so, alternatively all day I have been fighting with the urge to A) overeat to make myself feel better or B) not eat anything, because sadness makes my stomach sick. I haven't done either, so, I guess I must be improving? Does anyone else here…

Hey! Can I join? This seems like an awesome team, and I need to stay accountable! Starting Weight - 206lbs MFP Starting Weight - 200lbs Current Weight - 197lbs Goal Weight - 125lbs Difficulties with weight loss -- PCOS (slow metabolism), motivation to exercise, low income manda-SW198, GW135 CW 171= 3 lbs loss Crazybee no…

I am certainly not for-sure on this, but I have heard... Put your middle finger and thumb around your wrist, if they: - Easily Touch - Small Frame - Barely Touch - Medium Frame - Do not Touch - Large Frame That puts me at a large frame, but that sounds about right. I am short, but I have quite broad shoulders, wide hips,…

Victory! :glasses: Last Week: 199lbs Today (Sept. 03): 197lbs Thanksgiving Goal Weight: 183lbs Total Goal Weight: 125lbs But I am going out to dinner tonight. Hope I don't ruit it all!

I really like the idea of two weigh ins, Friday and Monday, or Friday and Wednesday. One of them could be optional -- the Wednesday one for example -- so people who only weigh once a week would not feel pressured to weigh in more than once. Otherwise, Friday works for me, if that's the will of the group. :) Random Happy: I…

Fun! I want to do this! I just did the initial test, and could only manage 5 without getting sloppy. I guess I'll start out at rank 1! I used to do 25 to 50 in high school aerobics class...well, I guess this is my chance to get that upper body strength back! Thanks for posting this!
