I am also a long time member. I've been on MFP since 2011 but I really think its been longer. My weight has gone up and down a few times, but I always come back here. My highest weight was 217, I'm currently at 195, and I have a goal weight of 130. I'm 41 and 5'2" tall. Looking for people to keep me accountable. Summer's…

Hi all! I'm 5'2" and 214 lbs. I joined in 2009 and my weight on here looks like a roller coaster. My blood sugars have been really high so I started back a couple weeks ago. I need help with accountability for sure.

I haven't done a challenge in years. Excited to get started! Challenge starting weight- 204 10/23- 204 10/30- 11/6- 11/13- 11/20- 11/27- 12/4- 12/11- 12/18- 12/25- Challenge End Weigh Goal- 189 lb Total weight loss goal by Christmas- 15 lbs

Feel free to add me. I have been a member for years but am starting over again. I am diabetic and have thyroid disease.

What happened to you, Gabriella?

Hi, I'm Shelley. I also have a BSW, graduated 12/2011 and yet to find a job. I have lost a lot of weight with MFP before. I gained all of the weight back after my mom passed away and my thyroid went out. I am notorious for losing motivation and not checking in. I definitely need to be held accountable. I am going to be in…

To those in Indy...I bet it's going to be crazy there this weekend! I'm jealous! I wanna ride the zip-line soooo BAD!!!! Have fun!

Hi, I'm in Terre Haute!

I'm here and I have caught up on all of the posts. As for my weekend, I ate WAY too much and didn't exercise. I did the Slim in Six DVD and my legs were sore for 4 days! OMG!!! I feel like I'm starting from zero after taking a month off! I really want to get back into the swing of things. Reading about all of your…

Jan. 8: 147.8 Jan. 14:147.4 Well, I didn't lose much this week but I did start exercising again. My legs are so sore, I can barely walk today! I haven't gotten my eating under control yet, either. The antibiotics I'm taking are tearing up my stomach and messing with my blood sugars. I've been having more low blood sugars…

MRSA is an antibiotic-resistant staph infection. I most likely got it from the hospital when my mom was there. Now, I am on some pretty heavy duty antibiotics that are tearing up my stomach. I've been sick for a month. :sick: :sad: Yesterday, I had a belated birthday lunch at olive garden and I did not plan ahead. Then I…

Thank you to everyone who has expressed sympathy on the loss of my mother. We were VERY close and I saw her or talked to her daily. This is devastating and life-altering for me! The saddest part for me is that my 23 mo. old daughter will not remember her "nannaw". :sad: She was the light of my mom's life for the past…

I have been doing horribly since Halloween! I haven't yet updated my ticker because I haven't officially weighed in. I do know that I am up at least 10 pounds. I can FEEL it!:mad: December was absolutely HORRIBLE for me! My sister came home for a few days the first week so no exercise and lots of eating out. My mom broke…

I am still around and reading all of the posts but I haven't posted much. I have been eating like CRAP too! Not sure why I had such a big loss last week because I feel like it may have been a fluke. I feel all bloaty and fat today. I have planned out what I am eating today, now I just have to stick to it. Seems like I have…

Hello everyone! Did I miss the post where it said this group was moving? Took me forever to find it. October wasn't great for me but I am in it again for November. Only lost 3 lbs. in October. I am coming off of 6 weeks of no weight loss so hopefully I can keep the numbers moving down. Good luck to everyone this month!…

Oct. 1: 147 Oct. 8: 147 Oct. 15: 148 Oct. 22: 148 Oct. 29: 145 I don't think I'm gonna make 142 by the end of the month but at least I'm headed back in the right direction! Sorry I haven't been around much!

Oct. 1: 147 Oct. 8: 147 Oct. 15:148.4, grrrr...:grumble: Oct. 22: Oct. 29:

I have been VERY busy today and I ate like crap, but was still under my calorie goal. I worked out and for some reason today it was really hard. I'm hoping that I'm not really sore tomorrow. I have to get up early and take a friend to an appt. and tomorrow night I have bowling. Looks like another busy day! I have my…

Happy Monday Morning! I did really well yesterday until about 8:30pm when DF brought me a great big piece of DQ ice cream cake. Doesn't he KNOW I can't say no to ice cream? :grumble: Anyway, I got up today and walked on the treadmill for an hour burning 480 cals. :bigsmile: So far, on track for today! Congratulations to…

I had my baby Feb. 2009 and I have a disgusting after-baby belly! I have heard the bands are great but you have to use them right after delivery. I saw on The Doctors awhile back that the stomach muscles stretch and pull apart during pregnancy. Depending on the woman, they may or may not return to normal. They did a…

Oct. 1: 147 Oct. 8: 147 Oct. 15: Oct. 22: Oct. 29: I just finished reading all of the October posts. I am trying to get myself re-motivated. I have been struggling A LOT! I have been floating between 145-148 for the past month. This is my fault. My eating is out of control and I haven't been getting in all of my workouts.…

i am in for October. I skipped September, but I'm back now! Will weigh in on the 1st. Thanks Terri!

I have been doing TERRIBLE this week! My best friend was on vacation so I guess I was on vacation, too! :sad: I am not gonna weigh myself this week because I really don't want to see the damage! I did log my calories today and plan on having a great week after tomorrow. Tomorrow, I am going to go have adult beverages with…

June 1: 162 July 1: 156 August 1: 150 August 6: 149 :happy: Don't have a lot of time, just wanted to weigh-in!

I heard green tea was good for you but WOW look at those benefits! If I was to add 3 cups of tea a day I would have to decrease my water intake. Definitely worth thinking about! I got in a good workout this morning. I did slim in six, ramp it up and walked on the treadmill. I burned 535 calories! :bigsmile: I've been…

WOW! I can't believe how many new people there are this month! :happy: As for me, I've kinda been just cruising along since I was sick. I am STILL coughing :sick: :grumble: :explode: but I can tell a minor improvement in the last 2 days. :smile: I have been working out but I feel much more tired throughout the day. I can't…

June 1: 162 July 1: 156 August 1: 150 So far I'm averaging 6 lbs. a month, which is fine with me! I'm so excited to finally see the 140's in August! Congratulations to everyone who met their July goals! Welcome newbies! This is a very supportive group, just jump right in. Let's kick butt in August!

I didn't do very good with my eating yesterday, but my day was unusually busy. Today, I got up and had a great workout and have been on track with my eating. I am also planning on going to my 1st zumba class this evening. I missed my workout yesterday so I am doubling up today. Tomorrow, will be my rest day and then…

I have been doing ok. Been really busy and haven't been logging my food. I hope this doesn't show on the scales! I have been working out but I am not able to push as hard as I would like to. Since being sick I feel like I am starting over. I can't believe its almost the end of the month already! I want to be at 150 by the…
