  • I always do really well with my weight loss right after the new year, and this year I was down to 198.1 right before my beach vacation in April (lost 16.8 from 1/1-4/12). I also always gain some back over the summer because we have a ton of company so food is everywhere, but this year it was 10 pounds, which is a lot! So…

  • Okay. The other day I was wrestling with my pup and all of a sudden one of my rings fell off and flew across the room. Yikes!! Makes me feel great that I'm that much slimmer but it's also sad because I had 2 rings on that finger, both extremely sentimental and I am now storing them in my jewelry box so I don't loose them.…

  • I'm in the same boat as you, and honestly, I think your 12 pound loss is great!! I've been working really hard since the 1st of the year and have lost 13 and I'm really proud of myself. I also found out that when my weigh loss slows, I amp up my exercise for a few days, make sure my calories are where they need to be and…

  • Had a very bad day yesterday. I don't know why some days I just eat everything in sight. It happens when I do really well for awhile and then WHAM! I just get cravings for any kind of food. I know there are a lot of tricks out there to stop the cycle, but dang, I just can't stop myself. Ugh!!! So today I'm making up for it…

  • Pretty much stayed the same this week. I did get under 210 for 4 days in a row but then I blew it a little. I'll make up for it the rest of the week. I do feel great though and had a couple NSV so that's good. Jan. 2: 213.2 Jan. 9: 212.8 (I'll take it! Aiming for under 210 for my bday on the 29th.) Jan. 16: 213.7 Jan. 23:…

I have been self sabotaging my efforts for so long and couldn't figure out why, but lately I've just made a breakthrough and I think it's because I'm just starting to be…

  • Good morning! I don't know if I'm alone here, but I think I may be self sabotaging. It seems like I do really well for a few days and the scale starts moving in the right direction, but then I always seem to have a binge day and mess it all up. It's almost like I'm afraid to be thin. I've spent the last 40 years in the…

  • Hi! I don't know who you are, but I really liked your comments. I also have an "office" at home and you made me realize the difference in my cravings when I'm crafting vs when I'm just watching tv. And even though I have a tv in my craft room, which I don't always use, I don't think about food as much in there. Our regular…

  • Would love to join your group Ladycop! I've been SLOWLY getting the pounds off but would like to amp it up a bit this year. If I could lose 50lbs, that would be incredible. I liked your ideas about the paperclips and it made me remember one year when I did really well (2009 I got under 200 - didn't last long), anyway, what…
