Great post! I would be interested as well since it's just me also!

Thank you so much for all the great information!!! I will be using this for reference for sure!!:happy: :flowerforyou:

Thanks so much for the info!! I will look into it and check with tech support if I'm still having trouble!! Great advice so quickly!! Thank you, again!

Hello! I just came back to MFP tonight and found your challenge. Is it too late to join in? I did weigh myself yesterday (10/18) so would have my starting weight correctly. I understand if it is closed already. Good luck to all!! Brenda

Great ideas! Thanks!

Thanks for the info and tips! Here are a couple websites that were shared by my group leader--in case anyone is interested!! http://allrecipes.com/recipes/main-dish/meatless/ http://www.meatlessmonday.com/ http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/meatless-recipes/RE00104 http://www.begkitchen.com/kid-friendly-recipes/ Enjoy!…

Thanks for posting this! I am over 50 and have 70+ pounds to lose as a starting goal. All of you that responded to the OP, please know that your success is an inspiration to me as well!! Thank you for sharing!! I'd be thrilled if any of you want to share your success tips, etc with me!! Have a great day! :flowerforyou:…

These look good! I think I need to buy a blender!! Thanks for sharing! :flowerforyou: Brenda

I really like the Leslie Sansone DVDs! My new fav is her 5 Really Big Miles...each mile is separate and you can stop after one, three or do them all...or...skip ahead to the one you want to do. I didn't think her talking was bad...but good idea to turn on the music if it is! Good Luck!! :flowerforyou: Brenda

Great post idea!! I need to start using my crock pot more! I'm kinda chicken to leave it on when I'm not home--but that's the whole idea of it in the first place!! Gotta get over that!! Thanks for all the great recipes and sites! :flowerforyou: Brenda

I'm in as well!! Great challenge idea!! Getting all my water down is difficult--not because I don't like it, but because it's hard to do at work! This will be a good thing for me! I think I will put a "water check" on my desk top calendar to pop up every so often as a reminder! Cheers, everyone! :flowerforyou: Brenda

You look amazing!!!! Thanks for this post! I have been struggling with the scale but noticing my clothes fit looser...I need to remember this!!! Have a great day!! :flowerforyou: Brenda

Thanks for sharing!! Looks very good!! :flowerforyou: Brenda

Congratulations on a GREAT five months!! You SHOULD be proud of yourself for doing so well!! Keep it up!!!! :flowerforyou: Brenda

Oh my gosh! I popped over to this board....it's ah-MAY-sing!!!!!! She has TONS of "Skinny" boards...Skinny Lunches....Skinny Crock Pot Recipes...Skinny Casseroles....etc, etc, etc!! Thanks for the tip!! :flowerforyou: Brenda

Great idea!! Mine is http://pinterest.com/brendajs/WW Recipes I try to collect the healthier recipes here...some are WW recipes, some are healthy versions of not so good things, and some are just plain healthy! I also have another board for exercise, healthy eating tips, motivation and information…

"This is a really good idea, although I can't do 50 anything yet but I am working on it so count me in." I'm in the same boat...but I will start doing as many as I can in the morning and beating it by a few more in the evening!! Great idea~thanks for the motivation!! :flowerforyou: Brenda

Hi there! I'm hopeful, too, to lose 80 pounds! I have been yoyoing between WW and MFP for a couple years, which is probably a big part of my NON-success! I recently decided to count calories with MFP and have lost 6 pounds so far. It's a slow go for me, but I am excited and inspired by the success stories I've been reading…

You look amazing! Determination!! Have a silly question...what is Ace???

Great post!! Thanks so much for sharing! Just what I needed...especially today! Was up 2.2 from yesterday (I know...shame on me for weighing every day!) and I couldn't understand why...I was under my calories, had alittle exercise, drank my water, little to no sodium, etc. Was ticked at myself all morning...then I realized…

Great job on losing the 35 pounds in three months!! I definitely have accquired the "secretarial spread" with my job as well--never heard it called that before!!!! Had to chuckle at the name...but not what it really means! Have a great day! :flowerforyou: Brenda

Energy? Might have to give this a try! Thanks for the tip! :flowerforyou: Brenda

I had a doctor's appointment a couple weeks ago and asked about the correct calories/day for me. I weighed about 250 that day and he said 1500 calories would be good with a 35% carb, 35% protein and 30% fat breakdown. I had been eating 1390 calories per day but was thinking that was high if I wanted to lose weight! I just…

Is there room for one more? I, too, am well over 200 and stand about 5'4". I'd like to lose about 70-80 pounds...again! I lost 67 pounds alittle over 9 years ago doing WW and walking at least two miles every day (outdoors or with Walk Away the Pounds dvds), but those darn pounds all came back...and brought friends....…

What about hard candy? Tastes good and keeps your mouth busy? There are several different kinds out there that you could try! Maybe even check out the sugar -free kinds? I haven't tried any, so don't know how well they taste... Just an idea! :flowerforyou: Brenda

Oh my gosh!!!!!! That's FANTASTIC!!! So glad for you! I'm where you "were" and want to get where you ARE!!! Any tips or suggestions that worked well for you? Food ideas? Exercise is key for me...I know that...just gotta DO IT!! Grrr!! Keep doing what you're doing!! :flowerforyou: Brenda

Great posts, everyone! It's good to get fresh ideas now and then! Have a great day! :flowerforyou:

Congratulations!! What an accomplishment!!!!!!! You look fantastic!! :flowerforyou:

I can't see your pics (blocks at work) but your story is AMAZING!!!! Can't wait to see the pictures when I get home!!!!!!

Hello! I did the Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds back when it was on VHS tapes! I lost over 60 pounds on WW about 9 years ago with her help and walking outside! All those pounds have since come back...and brought friends! I am starting again but doing it here with MFP. I just got a new WAP dvd--Five Really Big miles…
