I'm a Gemini!! :smile:

Sweet! :smiley:

Sweet!

I'm also with you. I've got 60 to lose... I keep thinking the first 10 won't be too hard, but I'm not terribly on point with that. MFP is helping me more than WW (weight watchers). Though I like the group meetings with WW at work. Here we go. Anyone can add me if you'd like. I'm from Maine, NC 7 years, now outside of…

I would, yes.

Here we go: Fitbit: www.fitbit.com/user/26M8FX Add me/msg me on MFP, too. -Gretchen :smiley:

Good & fair question! I am on my last bag of Shakeology so I'd be interested in this too... oh, well I have Arbonne Protein powder mix to use after, too.

Now I'm thinking about Graham Crackers & peanut butter! I have PB2 at my house & stopped using it... I'll have to try adding water & seeing how I like it. Now I also want to try Smuckers Natural Chunky. :smiley:

Hey pretty girl, don't get sad - get determined. I'll add you on here. I'm a woman in a similar spot. Though my biggest goal is 215 for starters. I was at 225-228 and now am at 235 I think - I stopped getting on the scale much lately, lol. Let's get serious together. I posted a video on my Facebook you may like, too. I'll…

I'm so happy for you and thank you for sharing your encouraging thoughts. It's helped this usual go-getter whose taken a step off the inner strength train. =) Getting back on board.

What an amazing video... I love it. I'll also share... very inspiring for going into the weekend. Thank you so much.

I hear several emotions in your post - antsy, urge, nervousness, lonely. Emotional eating is not easy to overcome, but you're partly there for a few reasons. You've defeated it before, you can again! You are aware of the situation and happening. If I had to guess, you probably have full days and your mind is happily…

I would love to add new friends that like to support and motivate each other. I am in this for the long haul. I've been on and off MFP for two years at least. Back again! =)

I'll add you! I can relate!! =) I don't show my diary, but I may open it up... if you want the password message me. I know you can do it, and you'll feel so proud and physically feel better inside. =) Best wishes, Gretchen

I love your new addition.... I can't believe someone couldn't/didn't keep him - but glad you'll have him forever!!! -Gretchen

Good suggestions! Keep us updated? Spend some time looking at your schedule, available time and what you can dedicate to yourself and fitness. People suggest to me three days a week of anything and my gut reaction is 'but I can do more, I'm a highly capable woman - I want to be IN THIS' and that moment, RIGHT there, is…

Great job! I copied and pasted the link into my browser, keep the determination up, it's proving to do great things! =)

I'm too curious of a person not to read it, doesn't mean I'd care what it said, lol. ~Gretchen~

Interesting question! Interesting story you have as well. I am mainly the same online as I am in real life. In both I am positive, kind, helpful, polite, funny, sarcastic and long winded. The one difference is that I am not a great story teller or joke teller, sometimes I have to concentrate to get a funny story out with…

This is great! It's like when I see a 92 year old on the news doing yoga, or teaching yoga. Makes me think........ my circumstances are not as bad as I feel inside they are (I'm changing my thought patterns). Thank you for posting, and for being the inspiring fellow you are! Best, Gretchen

Hunny, you've got to change your perspective. I don't know what you need to do to change that mindset you've got, but find some stories, find some inspirational shows online (assuming you have good internet access, you're posting here, so I think the internet can be a good resource), reach out like you're doing here but…

Sounds terrific to me! The exception may be a graduation celebratory beverage (bad not only due to liqour, but the diet soda's aspt--my known vice is the Diet Coke), but I am in and will pass this along to friends!! Pure H2O is our great friend!! =0) ~Gretchen Schmitt~ Wilmington, NC
