You should be so pleased with yourself. You are on the right track, doing the right things and your right, every pound lost is a boost in your self esteem. The road your on is not easy. Don't let anyone rain on your parade. I am happy you did what you felt you had to do for you and that you can now reap those rewards of a…

Sorry I'm late, week 3 for me is 1 pound up to 151.0 :(

Nothing wrong with a little self appreciation. If you don't start liking yourself at some point, what's this journey really about? i think everyone has a little vain streak and I think it's healthy. It's what keeps us motivated to be our best, look our best and keep pushing. As long as we don't let it get the best of us,…

When you enter your exercise each day, it will automatically increase. You can set your goals independently and bump the numbers up.

Down a couple this week. Hope I can keep going :) CW 154.5 SWK 154.5 WK#1 150.5 GW 146.0

Hi, I have mine set at 1250. If I let the computer do it, it would be at 1200, but I wanted the cushion. I have been doing this since December and am approaching the 40 pound mark, so feel fairly successful. I have an open diary. I am not a 100% healthy eater. i believe in eating all food types in moderation, and I do go…

I am not on anything at the moment...I had to stop all forms of hormones for surgery 21 days prior and 21 days post, and so it looks like I wont get to take anything until July...I am going nuts. Its bad enough to not be able to get up and around easily, but to have freaking hot flashes on top of everything???I feel like I…

So as of this morning I am at 150.5 and that is only 2.5 pounds from the goal I set...So I am going to set a new goal of 146 today for this challenge. That said, I am changing my MFP goal as well.

Hi Heidi, Im back for at least a bit. My 5/30 weight will have to be my pre-surgery weight 154.5 and we'll see if I can get on a scale by next Monday. Glad your back on top of things!!!! CW 154.5 WK#1 154.5 GW 148.0

You look awesome. Congratulations on all your success!

That's a great way to start the summer. Welcome back to your youth!

We will be starting a new one that will go through July 4th, but we just mostly do weigh-ins not mini challenges. Ours right now is the Memorial day challenge (Heidi's group). Search for it if you want to bump until we post the new challenge. This one ends Sunday and the new one will begin.

I do kettlebell with a trainer, and its really easy to do it with bad alignment, so be careful not to overextend or not keep your posture aligned because you can get hurt pretty easily. It takes me about 3 days before I feel like I move normal again after each session. This is intense stuff. But it is a great workout. I…

You are certainly on top of this...Its great when the scale isnt our friend how we can still find some change to keep our sanity...Good for you!

That's what this is all about. We are not perfect and we still have to keep going. You inspire others with this post as others have inspired you and we all get the benfit. Thanks for pushing forward!

I just want to say my heart goes out to you. You have a great attitude and she is lucky to have you. My sister has adopted 3 after she could only have 1 naturally. The 2nd was very much the same circumstance, 1 of several siblings that were removed from the home from drugs and alcohol abuse. We don't know where all the…

Wow so far so good everyone... I am happy to say I lost 3 pounds this week. I am in at 154.5. Got to be all that water. I met my goal for the first time and a week early. So many of you are close...I just know you can do it!!!!

I just finished my first week with zero diet soda and all my water requirements...I also lost 3 pounds this week (bonus). At work I put 4 16 oz water bottles on my desk. I have to have 2 of them empty by lunch, 1 by the end of my work day and the other drives home with me. After that I'm good to go and the rest is just…

Ok, I'll play: To tell the truth...It was hot here is SD,CA and I got a sun tan with my sunscreen on! Now the real truth...I probably like lounging in the sun WAY TOO MUCH!

OK So I just went through this weeks posts, and it looks like we lost some more folks...and of course I am saddened by that, but I understand. I am gald to see some of you back that were not here last week, so I hope that will be the case next week. Hugs going out to Heidi and her family as they get through this reunion...…

Hi everyone, I hope we all had an excellent week and are ready to post our new numbers on Sunday!!!! I am preparing this past weeks chart and will post it here in a few minutes...

I am a professional singer (Classic Rock to Jazz) with a background in Theater. I play the Keyboards/Piano and have a guitar, that sadly gets no love....

I am so pleased for you...You must feel awesome. you are working hard and doing what you have to to get to your goal and be healthy. Now, your someday is here, and your tomorrow is right around the corner. WHo knows what is in store for you. You're going to love it!!!!!!

I am soo there with you. This week I decided in preparation for a surgery next week, that I would swap my Diet coke for water. I can drink 88 ounces of Diet coke easily in a day, but getting down 64 oz of water (even flavored water) is a HUGE chore. So I am on day 4. The first 2 days I was sooo nasty to everyone (lol). I…

It's weird, I was just humming..."Running on Empty" by Jackson Browne... That's kind of how I feel Right Now.

I think they do, but its harder for them to say something without people thinking they are gawking! My co-workers are very polite in telling me that they have noticed and that I have done a great job. Now they call me skinny all the time. But a couple of them would not say a word until one of them did it first, then they…

I don't think its' weird. It is motivating. In fact, I find that if I do, I tend to get on the stick and actually hit the gym instead of toying with the idea. If I am casual about it, I get lazy. SO I bought cute workout stuff and I get more motivated and I fell better.

Well, Sounds like you need to just get really creative. Hard position to be in, but you can do it. You might want to list some of the types of foods your faced with so you an get some suggestions of how to work around it. There are so many on here that are losing just like you want to, and you will get a lot of support.…

I could say Im an expert at gaining weight, but not the healthy way, and you don't want my techniques for that. (lol). However, I have had some very skinny friends with the same issues. One thing I know that a friend of mine found success in, was adding Ensure to her diet. She drank those shakes in between meals. I am sure…

Nice! Whatever it take to get you to the right place. Keep at it and you will succeed!
