great job !!

Those little successes turn into big ones !! congrats and good luck !!

Congrats ! You look great and I'm sure you will be at your goal in a month or sooner !!

Wow!! You have done VERY well !!

Amber you are my inspiration !! You ook fabulous !!

Hello Lauren, you can add me to your friend list. I've been in and out of MFP for a couple of years. I get lazy....especially after I've met my goals....and I drop out of sight for a few months. But Hey I'M BACK !!

I too am an all day "picker". Just a little here and there couldn't add up to that much !! WHOA !! I was in for a shock when I started keeping track. Before supper time I had already gone over my calorie limit for the day !! :sad:

Okay starting again. Joined Curves Oct 27 and I've gained 3 lbs !! Need to start recording what I eat ...... for as long as it lasts !!

okay it's easy to calculate what i eat during the day but supper will be difficult. i may just skip counting supper since everything is home made and size and proportion will be hard to determine. as long as i've done well all day and still have 900 calories to work with at dinner i think i'll be okay. walked and rode bike…

okay so where did i get off track ?? here it is august 4 and i'm just now getting back on here. going to try something different. i've started riding my bicycle for about an hour every day if possible. the temperatures have been in the high 90's with heat index yesterday of 116. also going to start posting what i eat.…

So far so good. Only been a few days, but it hasn't been too difficult. Yesterday I didn't feel the best so I didn't eat dinner. Just had a few Cheetos and a couple bites of soup. It would be best if I didn't cook big meals every night.......we really don't need all that food late in the day. Tonight is catfish night.…

okay, day 2. Ate nothing but fruit, fat free/sugar free pudding, 100 calorie cookie pack and trail mix until supper. Still ended up 7 calories over my daily quota. Guess there's no dessert for me tonight.

Here it is, May 31st, and we just got back from a Memorial Weekend ride that once again revolved around where we were stopping for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I feel like I've gained 10 lbs so here we go again. My goal : Lose one pound per week. Eat mostly fruit and veggies. Stay away from all the goodies at work. Keep…

Just a note to say hello and to offer my support to all of those with physicial ailments and family issues. I'll be praying for all of you. Burned 423 calories on the treadmill this am.....now off to work. Have a great Valentine weekend ladies !!

Cheryl, welcome and good luck. This is the MOST helpful tool I've ever used. If you follow it faithfully you cannot fail. My goal was 25 lbs. I've lost 15 and have been stuck there for a couple of months......but, it is MY fault. I've been working entirely too much and don't have time to plan my food, exercixe, post or…

Hello ladies !! Took a day off from from my 12hr, 6 day a week schedule. Burned 410 calories on the treadmill this morning. Going to have a light lunch, not sure about dinner. Back to work tomorrow, same heavy schedule for the rest of the week. Probably won't have time to post. Hope all are doing well !!

Actually, I have a tendancy to avoid using the calorie counter when I haven't eaten right that day. Bad, bad, bad move......that is avoiding accountability.

Glad you found your shoe.......Have a great time in Sunny Arizona !!

:Okay laides, I'm going to try to do better. I've been so busy working outside the home, as well as inside, that I feel I don't have any time to relax. I haven't been posting because I don't have time to read everyone's post and I feel selfish if I just write about what I'm doing and not comment on anyone else. :blushing:…

Sounds like you've gotten your motivation back.....good for you. I also have been getting sloppy. Taking a pinch here, a sliver there, just a bite of that.....it certainly adds up. If posting helps you to stay focused.....then "just do it" !!!

Glad you found us.....welcome to the best "over 50" club on the net !!

Zaza, have you started using the Free Calorie counter on this website ? If you have filled out the profile of what you weigh and how much you WANT to weigh, it will tell you how many calories you can have per day in order to achieve that goal. It is easy to see that the "old habits" we have gotten into aren't going to get…

GOOD MORNING LADIES !!! :happy: :happy: I finally lost the last "Christmas" pound so my ticker is right again. Not very happy this morning. :grumble: :grumble: My 18 yr old stepdaughter is coming back from her college break on Sunday. This past month has been so peaceful. Sad to say, we aren't the best of friends and the…

Good evening ladies !! Had to work the last 2 days and haven't had time to exercise. Without burning the usual calories I was still able to stay within my calorie limit yesterday and only went over by 100 today. Have the next few days off so should be able to get back on track. Time to fix my hubby some dinner. Have a good…

Barbiecat : Carrying a pix around with you is a good idea too. Every time one of my "fat photos" pops up, I want to throw something at it. Thank goodness we have it set for only 5 second intervals......WHEW
