@lives2travel- Thank you for the idea. I will implement that. I really appreciate the support. I have grown cucumbers and peppers. Absolutely the best tasting veggies. @naiomi- You are so right. I'm gonna burn me some calories. Thankyou for your support. Going away this weekend to my aunts house. Gonna take my laptop with…

I'm starting to feel alone in my struggle to lose weight. I can't seem to get rid of these love handles. It's driving me nuts. I miss my support group. Been eating a lot of oatmeal this week. Heart healthy and low in calorie. Exercise still eludes me. Trying streching to loosen up my limbs. Need to do some more unpacking…

The loss our family has been feeling from the loss of our Buddy has hit hard. I am now back on track and have lost an additional 2lbs. Unfortunately, I've started smoking after 2 years of being smoke free. The stress and sadness being felt has been too much. To top things off, my daughter has inflamation on her lungs along…

Hi, I haven't been on for a couple of days because I had to put my oldest dog to sleep. It has been a very hard past few days. I will try to be online soon and motivating. Thank you for understanding. pashunrose39

Still not doing so hot with the motivation thing. Even though my brother and his girlfriend told me they are proud of me for the weight loss thus far, I can't seem to get motivated to keep it going. I'm frustrated about it all. I'm glad I'm losing, but I just feel alone in the whole thing, I don't have anyone to exercise…

@Tanya--thank you. Good job on popping that workout video in right away! I need to do that more often myself. @nyc--Congrats on the amazing weight loss. Hope everyone had a safe and happy st. paddy's day. My hubby and brother really loved the dirty red rice that I made. Took my dogs for a quick walk before the rain hits…

I lost 2lbs since last weigh in. Very happy about that. Happy St. Paddy's day everyone. Making my own little version of dirty red rice for dinner. I never make it the same or I would post the recipe. I promised hubby we'd do cornbeef another night. Haven't really been feeling up to par today. My allergies are getting the…

Jacob has said his first word. His first word, not surprising to me, is cat. Pronounced ca-Tuh. lol He chases the cats around and tries to sit on them. I'm a PROUD grandma!!! pashunrose39

Well, this morning, I will be weighing myself. Scared to see the results since I didn't exercise much this week. I did get a good workout in yesterday cleaning my home. My back is killing me this morning. Not much else going on this weekend. I'm going to start anew this week. I must get myself back on track. Have a great…

@skinny & Nettie -- Thank you. Y'all put a smile on my face. It feels good to know I'm not alone. Yesterday, my brother told me he wanted to join MFP. I asked him why. Told him he didn't need it, you're skinny. He said to get healthy. Good answer from him. I suppose he is in need of eating healthier. Yes, Nettie, that is…

WOW!!! This is one very active group! Don't know if I can keep with all the posts. But I'll try. Thank you for the suggestions on how I can get out of my rut. Maybe I should join a 5k. Must look into that and see if there is one in my area coming up soon that I can train for. It would be nice to have an excercise buddy…

Hi, I'm a newbie. Karenleona invited me. My goal is to get myself down to a reasonable weight and of course maintain it. My husband has reached his goal and is maintaining. I'm very proud of him and can't wait to reach my goal. My problem lately is that I just don't feel the motivation I use to feel. I'm not exercising…

This pretty much sums it up for me!!

My husband & I are only 2 days apart. But we only celebrate on the day between. He hates cake, so it's always pie. Hoping I can convince him to get a no-sugar added pie next year.

Feel free to add me. :) I've sent requests to some of you guys that have replied. Unable to send a lot though.

I just started yesterday and very new to counting calories. I am at my highest weight ever which is 211. My doctor told me that I need to lose the weight before I start having health issues besides chronic pain. I also have to walk everyday. So far I have walked yesterday and today. I am bound and determined to get…
