I am so happy to have found this group!!! I am pretty new to Keto, and I, like many of you, have a couple weeks of vacation coming up this month. Having so little experience with Keto and so many days with less control over what I eat makes me a bit nervous. However, I pledge to myself (and to all of you!) to do the best I…

If I had those arms, I would NEVER wear sleeves!!! Awesome job!

Alright ladies and gents, I am going to need some encouragement (and a miracle) to pull this off. I'm starting two weeks late, and I have the biggest goal as far as I can tell. I am hoping the fact that knowing someone is reading this will help motivate me. SW: 307 10%: 31 GW: 276 (Congratulations to those of you who are…

I hate working out, but I am going to conquer this. I know it is just a matter of getting into the habit of doing it. I just got a set of kettlebells, so my mini goal is to swing those babies 100 times on three of the next seven days.

@Adventuretown You are doing an amazing job. I also wanted to say that I am glad when you post before/now pictures, you are in the same spot, doing the same pose, wearing the same kind of clothes. Sometimes when people post in different poses or regular clothes vs workout clothes, it is hard for me to see what the…

I have been reading this thread religiously every day. So inspiring!!! I thought that I would post some of my own after I finished reading the entire thread. However, I am only on page 229 of 369, and I simply cannot wait! My NSV starts with me being in a super grumpy mood. Not once, but twice this week, an underwire has…

How many dishes you are going to wash.

@allenpriest Happy Belated! @Beeps2011 If anybody can pull off another 0.2, it would be you. Good luck with your challenge. @larrodarro The weather channel said it was supposed to rain here yesterday, but it was perfectly sunny all day. Cloudy this morning though. Maybe the clouds were just hanging out in your neck of the…

@Kikiiiii Welcome! What a great idea for rewarding your good choices, and it looks like the lessons were a great success. Beautiful photos! Good luck with your A1C. My mom constantly worries over hers. I know she thinks about it with every bite of food that she puts in her mouth.

A lot has happened here while I've been gone! I came back from vacation and started back to work the very next day. For any of you teachers or teacher's spouses, you know the first week of school is VERY hectic! I didn't have time to go to the grocery store before going back to work. That means that I have been eating more…

Happy Friday, all!!! So my goal last week was to log every bite that went into my mouth BEFORE I ate it. Well, it certainly helped because I posted a 3 lb weight loss this morning!!! Yay! It has been weeks since I have done anything other than lose/gain the same 2 lbs. Now here is my dilemma...The VERY day that I finally…

I have had three days in a row of being under my calorie goal. Today is Sunday Family Lunch day. Here in the GA, my 68 year old mother likes to fry most everything. Here's hoping I can make it through this challenge so I can have four days in a row! @alf1163 I'm jealous! I don't have any grandkids to use an an excuse to go…

@msjanjan337 Good luck with MFP! You are right about using up your calories quickly. Good food, junk food...I love it all. (Well not cantalouple and collard greens so much, but everything else is fair game. LOL) I have found that I can eat right or I can exercise right, but I am really struggling to do them both at the…

Why won't MFP add a "Like" button, or even better, a "LOVE IT" button?!?!?! Good for you!!!

@Larro, I have been on MFP off and on for a while, and I could never figure out how to post a picture. Thanks to you and your practice page, I was able to practice without everyone in the thread having to look at my practice attempts. So here's for you... and one of my own...

And one more to be sure I have it...

That didn't work so let's try this...

The url thing didn't work for me. I'll have to try again.

I'm going to give this a go and see if it works...

My #1 goal for the week: To log every bite I eat BEFORE it enters my mouth. Perhaps if this had been my strategy last week, I would have made some better choices. I hope you all have a great weekend. (I have really been enjoying reading through the pages of great support here.)

Hi, everyone. I will be celebrating the 1st anniversary of my 49th birthday in September. :p I am terribly out of shape and on blood pressure medication. I am very happy to stumble across this thread and find that I am not too old to do something about my situation. It looks like I have 292 pages of motivating posts to…

https://www.fitbit.com/user/22XFYH Hey, guys. I am a teacher, and I have gotten really LAZY over the summer. I love to pile up on the couch with a good book, but I know I need to get up and get moving. I could sure use some motivation!!! (PS You get bonus points in my book if you are approaching 50 with a good bit of…

I could use someone to be accountable to!!! Name: Lynn Age: 49 (but not for much longer!) Height 5' 3" Start Weight (July 3): 299 Goal Weight (September 25): 274 Weekly Goal: -2 lbs

Sometimes I think about how far I need to go, and it seems so daunting. Then I see a post like this. A big loss and the YEARS long dedication that you have had. It really helps to see that it CAN be done. Thanks!

"I spent 10 years starting tomorrow. Start today." I loved this!!! Congratulations on your first 5K, and you look great.

You look amazing! Congratulations and hang in there!

What an inspiration!!! Congratulations on your hard work paying off so beautifully.

Thanks for your great reminders!!!! ;)

I am currently recuperating from a bulging disc and pinched nerve. I haven't done any exercise in over 6 weeks. This sounds like just the thing to get me started back. I guess it will have to be mostly walking, but that is better than the nothing that I have been doing! I am glad I found you guys! 1. 10-4 SLOW walk on the…
