  • Can I still join? Dec 31 - 142.1 kg Jan 7 - 140.7 kg
  • Something different works for everyone. If a goal / time limit is motivating for you, then work towards it. The only "danger" is thinking you failed if you don't meet it exactly. For example, my goal for 2017 was to lose 50 pounds. I lost 40 pounds, but not 50. I have, however, declared it a victory! I've set my goal for…
  • I've read a fair amount about it and may give it a go in January. At the moment I've adopted a low carb diet to address type 2 diabetes. I suspect that this diagnosis won't allow me to fast more than 12 hours or so at a time until it's firmly under control. Don't let the haters get you down. But before you try something…
  • Please count me in... I definitely need some friends to help encourage me to keep this going!
  • I'm the last one to give relationship advice. So, I'll stick to the weight side of things... and your own self-esteem, which is very important to weight loss. If your husband's opinion is important to you (and it likely is) then try to listen to what he says more than what you hear. Sometimes, evidence is helpful, so keep…
  • Great job! So full of admiration for your ability to keep on trucking!
  • Well, this week I sort of hate myself. I must, because I just keep buying - and eating - more and more junk. The worst part? I really don't know why... except that everything seems rather colourless and depressing... and there's always a handy excuse or enabler around. Anyway, I *had* lost 30 lbs, but now I'm at only 26…
  • Okay, so I weighed in yesterday and found I was down 0.4 lbs for the week. That's depressing. I weighed in again today - just because it was so depressing yesterday I couldn't believe it - and I'm down another 0.6 lbs. Sometimes I *hate* my scales. But they are electronic, so maybe they're hate me back! Anyway, I'm…
  • Apologies for the delay in posting. I weighed in at 306.2 at home on Wednesday. No doctor reading to compare this time, since I was sick. But, at least I've started trending downwards a bit again. :wink:
  • to TETHOMAS73: That's fabulous! :happy: Keep on trucking... because the scale is a precocious beast. :brokenheart: BUT, in the end, science wins and good, hard work and perseverence IS rewarded!! :flowerforyou:
  • So, its Wednesday - which means time to check in. I'm down about 3 lbs this week - which brings me to pre-trip status!
  • So, its been three weeks and I am.... NO WHERE. In that time I've gone up 0.3 pounds... which is essentially no change. I'm more than a bit disappointed to not have lost anything, especially since I had a little dip 2 weeks ago. On the other hand, I am glad that my business trip to Asia - with food I'm not used to, stomach…
  • PS - from my highest weight last year, I'm in the range of elephant heart to elephant penis. Yikes!
  • Hi, I keep track on two scales: mine and my doctor's. His is always about 4 lbs more than mine -- but then, I am dressed when I weigh in there :-) I usually record the home scale's readings daily on the site. So today: at home: 309.2 at the doctor's office: 313.5 According to their charts, that down 2.5 lbs this week.…
  • Well, my weekend took its toll on the diet front -- lots of ch*c*l*t* sitting about for the kiddies and I indulged :-( But, I did get in lots of exercise chasing them, so pretty much only about 300 cals over each day. My next threshold is to become a "terrific two" -- I'm hoping to lose the last 10 lbs or so I need to get…
  • Am I in time to join? You can see from my counter that I'm about 1/2 way to my FIRST mini goal... there's oh at least 3 digits to go beyond that, so some companionship in a small group would be great. Nothing special is happening for me in August -- but I've some big work things going on in September I'd like to be smaller…
  • I'm so in! Its very exciting to have some extra motivation and support... As a total aside: how do we report back / keep track? Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter
  • I'd love to make some new friends too! Invite me?
