Welcome Aboard!!! :)

Great goals! I know about the smoking I have educated my self to capacity so I know what it takes. I have been battaling myself because I depend on smoking as a time filler. I actually have this really great plan on CD that has fabulous steps to quitting, but when I got stressed I stopped carry the CD with me. The thing…

Jhacker Welcome!!! I love the mini goal idea....so I look forward to doing this with you!! :bigsmile:

Hello EVERYONE and Welcome!! I am glad to see that there are people out there that find this idea useful! I think we all have to create personal goals and not everyone will strive for 10 in a month, you have to do what is best for you. I happen to like the pressure of an aggressive goal...keeps me on my toes! I figure I…

Highs: I got to spend time and recoonect with an old freind! My daughter returned home from his family visit! I found a really great deal on a ladder bookcase. Lows: Having an argument with someone who really has no grounds to be arguing with me. It is actually all projection of personal disaappointments and anger. I love…

Happy New Year People!! I hope you all had a great night! I look forward to a positive New Year as I said yesterday and I believe our goals are within reach. Highs today: I am blessed to see another day and I plan to utilize it. Lows: I am feeling lazy but made plans to visit a friend...so I need to get motivated.

I am starting to think that 2010 will be the year I really shine! I have made such progress in 2009 it would be odd to think that 2010 would be a bad year. Although life throws us curve balls I am grateful for my many blessings and I am grateful for life! Highs: Appreciating Life and all that it has to bring Lows: Snow,…

I have had my highs and lows with the exercise, but as long as you pick yourself up and move on then you are good! Don't beat yourself up over it just move forward and know that all you can do is try to put your best effort forward! :)

Snow is so pretty at first...then it becomes a pain! All of our officially melted off today. We were 18 inces deep. Gald to see it go....for now!

Welcome! Wine, I love it but I had to stop having it around because one glass sets the urge to snack in motion and then before you know it a 120 calorie glass of wine turns into a 500 calorie overage....lol

Today has been a semi eventful day. I took all of the christmas crap-ola down! What a job that was, it was much easier to put up. I always hate taking it down. Usually I wait until New Years but I didn't really feel like it this year. Todays Highs: REconnecting with some long lost family Lows: taking down allt he christmas…

Happy Holidays Everyone! I took a little vaction from here and now I am offically back! I was so busy the last few days I didn't even log my food! Shame shame shame...but I am over it! I will be detoxing today because although I did not go crazzzyyy...I did eat things that were not made with good health in mind.…

OMG and here I am complaining about 22... -2 is no joke!!! Stay warm!!! Today was a day of rippin and running. I feel like I was a mission yet barely achieved any of my goals...lol! I love christmas minus all the confusion and craziness! Anyway, I ate well today and got in some exercise! So I can't complain in that area.…

:cry: HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!!!! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry for my absence...my internet was OUT....I was lost without MFP!!!! I really have come to depend on it! Please pray it never goes out again. Ok, now that I got that out! I am going to go read the boards and catch up...

I agree 100%...this world can be so cold. Alot of people are in such a rush that they never take the time to notice! I am one of those poeple who enjoys stoping and noticing. I am the lady in the store talking to all the kids and complimenting people, when compliments are due. I sometimes get so disgusted when people act…

Welcome Krhbutte!!! I am glad you found us!!! :)

Hey Ladies, Thanks for all the encouragement to RANT here...no one like to hear a Debbie Downer in action...lol! Today was a pretty good day for the most part!! The only draw back was the anxiety before the final!! Another one down tomorrow!! Highs~ My daughters concert, now 2 finals down...2 to go Lows~hmmm, not any…

Hello People! I just wanted to drop in and say hello to everyone, I have no real news to report. I hope everyone is well! xoxo

First I have to say I WANT AN IPHONE....pheww now I feel better! I agree that I will be maintaining the next few weeks until the holidays are over and as of January 1st I will be back in full swing. I definitely plan to eat the way I have been eating BUT I will allow myself to have a few drinkie poos...to celebrate.

I love school I really do but Finals week is similar to hell week when you pledge a sorority...LOL! It is everything you learned in the whole semester back to back day after day....BRAIN OVERLOAD....lol! But I love it and I am grateful!

Hello All, pinbot- thank you, I usually am not a negative person so I try not spread negativity...lol! I did create the group to be able to vent any and everything...I should remind myself of that...lol Well the good news is I finally had some release last night, I was able to cry to relieve some stress and some pressure.…

Congrats Heather! I am 7 lbs away too...dying to atleast get that off by the new year PLEASE GOD PLEASE!!! LOL!

I am so reluctant to keep going back here with bad news but I am just not a happy camper these days! Highs...living, my daughter Lows-everything else....blah

Thank you!! I just can't wait until all the finals are OVER and I have a month off...I will get to spend time with my loved one who is ill....he has asked me to drive him to Chemo...so that gives me time to spend with him! So that is a high and a low :)

Hello, So I am still fighting with myself to feel better and nothing yet! It seems like its never ending ...lol! I don't really know what my highs and lows are yet....I am still drinking my coffee! I will be back a little later on to discuss highs vs lows. cc_campbell81 --- I am so sorry to hear about your aunt! Was she…

I hope everyone has a great day today! I am not really going to be on today because I have a holiday event happening at my home around 5pm so I have to go into prep mode! I think we are all struggling with the holidays and trying to be good...I guess we can oly do our best and as long as we are watching portions and…

I recently heard the shopping results in burning 207 calories per hour give or take, so don't feel guilty!!

Hello All, I want to apologize for my absence yesterday! I had a very intense day and I couldn't get it together to get on here. I have finals coming up, papers due, a xmas gathering today and alot of other stressors...lol! Yesterday my highs were: Living, good conversation in class, and time spent with my daughter! Lows:…

Welcome Mopo!! I understand how hard it is to maintain weight when you have grown up with poor eating habits! My mother meant well but unfortunately her relationship with food is awful! I didn't really learn how to really eat right until Feburary of this year...I took a nutrition class and it was life changing and eye…

Hey There! I know exactly how you feel about your starting weight!! I started this journey at 239 an all time high for me...I gained all of the weight after leaving a domestically violent relationship that change my life. I used food emotionally and the weight was protection from othe men that may come into my life. I…
