great job! congrats!

I cramp like crazy, I retain water even tho I dont eat a lot of salt. I retain where i'm fat (everywhere) and I cramp where I retain. doing SOMETHING gets my circulation going which reduces water retention which reduces cramping & actually makes life better. so do which ever feels most comfortable but do at least some…

thankful I got to spend the morning yesterday with an old friend & we did a 5k walk together thankful i'm healthier than I have a right to expect. thankful for hubby & my pets (no kids) and while I didnt get a holiday today, the reduction in traffic from those who could stay home reduced my commute by almost 1/2 hr.

hostess cupcakes, but they are sadly gone, cheetos & nachos

spinich cukes chicken fat free greek yogurt tomatoes baby peppers high protein granola bars eggs almonds low fat cheese sticks and dog food. no, not for me but you asked what I have to get "EVERY TIME" ;)

Deep breath log everything you ate today. take a walk log teh walk repeat tomorrow only a longer walk repeate day after that. look on youtube for exercise videos and do one and/or take a longe walk repeat you CAN lose the weight. you can likely get into that dress in 2-3 wks. find you caloreis & stick to them

anyone can add me, i've been on a few months & lost 13 lbs before holdiay, now its time to kick it into gear !

I'm a shortie too 4'11 3/4" and have about the same to lose but not there yet. we can do this together if you want me to friend me or anyonee else.

welcome, can get help here at MFP. you're off to a great start. anyone friend me if you want!

totally cool!

anyone who wants can add me. you are smart to take apart what DIDNT work for you in the past & try something else. I havent done well in the past. whats helping this time? 1) MFP consistantly logging food constantly logging exercise accountability increasing my calorie burn 2) some friends & I have weight loss contests…

log everyting. start getting more activity, if you do the work, it will work. lots of encouragement here

think of it this way, you got 2 out of 3 victories, more exercise, better food. thats 2 HUGE victories

great job! congrats
