I went up another .5lbs...ugh. 237.5lbs. However, started a 21 day plan and am hoping it will bring some balance to my life and more will power to stay on track.

Thanks! I will definitely have to check those out. I did better yesterday. Normally, I grab a handfull and go my way. Yesterday, I limited it to just one and I survived. Still need to get out the door in a more timely manner to get some exercise into my day. I feel a bit trapped lately with work, but it will be up to me to…

My triggers are stress, and I run (not walk) towards anything slightly resembling sugar or carbs...like the candy dish at work. Going to try and figure out something else to do when that happens. I'm worth more than those little mini chocolate bars! :smiley:

Thank you all for the encouragement. I took some time this morning and read up on posts, including "inspirationals". It sure uplifts and encourages me. My weight was a bit up today, so going to have some repair work to do this week. Unfortunately, I do not have a work-out buddy Monyokks. I wish I did have one in close…

I have family that are EMTs. I want to thank you for your service to the community and willingness to work in this field. I hope you will do everything you can do to become healthier! Best Wishes!

Good morning all. This week was difficult due to work stress. I am hoping to take some time this weekend and plan out my week to be more effective in the health department. I know once I get past a certain number of days of exercise it will just feel like a part of my day and not so hard. Right now though, I just feel so…

Yesterday, was a bit tough but I did do better than the day before. So, today I am hoping to improve on that and finally get to a place where I am keeping under my calorie goal. I am going to make my lunch, something light because today will be all about meetings. I was using work as my excuse to not do anything because it…

I don't know what did it for me...nothing spectacular, just one day I woke up and decided I wanted to do it. I've been heavy for years. I used to carry my weight well because of my frame but it has caught up with me. I hurt now. I guess I am sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time.

Take mini-walks throughout the day. People get smoke breaks, so it should not be frowned upon if you get up and take a quick five minute walk around the facility or the block. Just five minutes say every other hour even would help. Do leg lifts under your desk. Who cares what you look like doing it, think of the end…

Thanks, Alisadee. Still trying to wrap my arms around tracking and being accountable. I need work with planning meals and of course, ensuring I exercise. So, a work in progress but hopefully moving forward.

235.5, -.5lbs....

-.5lbs, but I'll take it. I had a rough-bad week in the area of calories and lack of exercise. Just think if I had done things right, what those numbers would have possibly read! To next week! :-)

That is so inspiring and wonderful news! Keep going, you got this!

I am so sorry for your loss. Glad you are liking the app and wish you success. Add me as a friend, if you would like MFP friends. Best,

One way to add friends is to click on the person's name and it will allow you the option to add them by clicking on the link that says "add friend." Hope that helps! :-)

You'll get there...don't give up. This is not your forever moment.

As I was reading your post, I thought about what a doctor did with a friend of mine who was enduring severe gastric issues. He took her down to basics. She had to strip everything she knew and everything she was eating and he placed her on a basic plan. She added things back into her diet until she found out what she was…

Great work on the losses this week! I hope to join you next week! :-)

Short term I'd like to lose 30lbs to get me out of the 200s, and then next goal to get to 140-160. Just depends. I want to do it healthy and lasting. I'm 52. I'll support you!

Current weight: 236, "0" no loss or gain. Hopefully, next week I will see movement in a good direction, but at least there was no gain.

I am going to try and comit to working out 3X this coming week for 30 minutes. It will be the first time in a long time I have formally exercised. Weather permitting, I will also try to grab some 5 minute quick walks back and forth to my car at work.

Good morning! I lost computer internet connectivity for a few days and am just getting back online. I did not want to use my phone because of our plan and the cost. So, glad to be back and tracking again. I don't think I am going to do too well at this week's weigh-in because of being off track. It sure does help! Hope…

236, -2lbs

Thank you, Alisadee! I am so glad you created this group.

I don't have a problem drinking water, one of those odd balls that love it. My issue is I could starve myself all day and not lose weight unless I factor in exercise. I just can't seem to get started. This cold weather is not helping, but I am going to try very hard to get up and start moving. Even if it means walking or…

Hello Group. My starting weight is 238lbs.
