I totally understand Lucy. I have been struggling with my weight ever since my mid 20's and have always used my fat as a protector. It's amazing how the mind can take control of you like that. I also have a great love for food, so put those 2 things together and….. I'm just so glad you are figuring it out at a young age.…

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…

"Comparison really is the thief of joy" I love that! I need to tell myself that every day. :)

Back again. This is my 2nd challenge here. 1st one I managed to break even so hopefully I'll do better this time. I leave for vacation in 2 weeks and I'd really like to be under 200. Haven't done that since 2009. 5'5" - 66 yr old Granny. :) Highest weight 256. Round 255 3/27 201.1 Let's do this!!! 3/28 199.8 Yeah!!!!!…

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.…

First timer here. Have a mini goal to get under 200 by the end of the month so I need all the motivation I can get. I'm ready to do this!! Haven't been under 200 since 2009. I'm 66 - 5'5" female in Northern Michigan where winter never ends. Heading south in mid April to spend a couple weeks on the beach so I'm really…

Mini goal right now is to get to Onederland! Haven't been there since 2009 and I'm at 203.6 this morning. It still somehow seems out of reach, but I can do this!! SW 256

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:…

Oh my gosh. What you said really hit home for me and made me want to cry. Your feelings truly explained what I haven't figured out for my entire journey. 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…

Wow! You're killing it!! How did you have two such big weeks in a row?? That's great!!

Had a much better week this time. Also did really well yesterday (low calories/lots of exercise) and the scale showed it today. Not sure if it'll stick, but I like it. Might hit my goal this month after all!! 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:…

Well this week didn't go very good. Snack snack snack. Lots of shoveling though. 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: Jan. 30 JANUARY TOTAL:

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…

You look fantastic! Great job!!

I agree! I did my first skinless chicken breast with Cajun seasoning on it, sliced it and put in my salad. It was great!!
