  • I do the pee check, too! I also set specific time frames for myself. I have an hour commute, so I make myself finish my water bottle (~28 oz) on the way in, another before lunch, and another after lunch. If I go to the gym that night, I know that I'll end up drinking another full bottle, but even if I don't, I've ended up…

  • Are we basically doing a mile a day? I'm not much of a runner, but my dogs would sure love me if I did this challenge!

  • I'm right there with you guys--about 70 pounds to go for GW. I recently started back to MFP after stopping a couple of years ago, so I'd love to have you all as friends!

  • Oh, I'm so right there with everybody--I do well during the week, but then get to the weekend and all bets are off. Not that I am a binge drinker by any means, but social drinking means that I tend not to (okay, never) track my drinks or the greasy, 3 am meals that follow!

  • Absolutely. In order to get my chocolate/sweets cravings down, I've taken to buying the prepackaged 100-calorie treats.

I agree with learning moderation…

  • Thanks for being so inspiring, Nichole! I'm 5'2" down about 40 lbs from 232 (used WW last year). I'm hoping to get down to 150 first to see what my body looks/feels like and then determine whether to continue or go into maintenance.

  • LOVE Zumba! Between Zumba and Weight Watchers (I recently stopped and switched to MFP to save money!), I lost almost 40 lbs last year! I go to classes at my local gym and have made some really good friends that way.

  • Taylor, I feel like you're speaking directly to me! In my family, just about every adult is overweight--if you aren't, it almost seems strange--and just about every adult has some type of weight related issue. Gatherings center around food ("It ain't a meeting without eating!") and being active is for the younger grandkids…
