I'm a little late to this party... but I want in. (I started on April 8, so I'm a week behind, but whatevers.) I have a tendency to get obsessed with the scale, so I'll only weigh once every two or four weeks. SW (4/7): 225 CW: 214.6 <-- Water weight and I was doing a bit too drastic a reduction in calories but have fixed…

@JeromeBarry1 Don't let someone else's success diminish yours. Everyone's journey is different. :smile: My NSV: Hubs offered to take me out for ice cream after the kid's horseback riding lesson, if I had the calories for it. (I was impressed he remembered that I had to account for it.) I told him that I did, indeed have…

*raises hand* Serial starter here too. I'll be honest... this time *feels* different. Mainly because: 1. I poked through the forums a bit and have a much clearer understanding of CICO and how it all works, and also how MFP's numbers are derived, and how it all interacts with my FitBit. 2. I've (so far) fixed my…

I get a venti iced black tea with two stevia ... or a grande skinny iced caramel machiatto. The latter I have to plan for accordingly.

A shirt I bought that hubs shrunk in the wash actually fit again this morning.

^This. I had a friend who, whenever I said I had blown my day at lunch so what was the point as I shoveled some calorie-laden food down my throat. He'd stop me and say, "Hey, if you wreck your car against a brick wall, are you going to back up and hit it again with your foot on the gas? No. You're going to back up, assess…

Hey everyone ... I just stumbled on this group ... I was diagnosed with PCOS last Thursday and given Metformin. I've suspected PCOS for the past few months ... I had to come off birth control 2.5 years ago because of a blood clot in my lungs (yay, that was fun and now I'm on blood thinners for the rest of my life!) ... and…

I have had both ... I prefer the FitBit. For multiple reasons, actually ... 1. Every time I wanted to upload my info for my Jawbone, I had headphones in my phone. So I had to stop my music, plug it in, and then plug the headphones back in. If they have bluetooth now, that's so much better ... but the one with the headphone…

OMG - I too, am around your age (33, won't be 34 till October) ... and I lost crazy weight the year after I got married (ten years ago). :) I don't have your diagnoses, but I've had my own health things that make it difficult to lose weight. So, let's do this thing. Together!

Everyone here is right on with the water, eating enough calories/protein, and not pushing yourself too hard. Also look at how well you are (or aren't) sleeping. Whenever I fatigue out on a weight, my trainer's first question is "what did you eat today?" Second question is, "How did you sleep last night." It all plays a…

I'm right there with you. I weigh more than I did when I was pregnant with my daughter. I have about 68 pounds to go ... I'm not a stay at home mom, but as a fellow mom, I do feel a lot of your pain. It's sometimes so hard to eat right while also getting the littles to eat as well, and then maintaining a schedule with all…

I'm in, I've been on MFP off and on for years ... and once the motivation wanes, my desire to continue wanes. I've got new motivation now - a bunch of health issues I'd like to resolve naturally, I have a trainer, and I'm logging again with a definite food plan. You motivate me, I'll motivate you. I hope. :) If not, I can…

I'm with you ... I'd love to drop a bunch of weight by Christmas ... and I'm 5'1. Though, sadly, my days of 185 were behind me a few years ago. I'm closer to 205 these days ... so I won't hit 140 by Christmas this year. To be honest, what's working for me ... I'm lifting weights, I eat high-protein, low-ish carb (don't cut…
-
I'm doing low carb too. Nothing is really off-limits, I just have to make sure it allows in my carb count for the day. Yay high-protein and low carb lifestyle!
-
I'm looking to drop about 70ish pounds. This will still not get me to my ideal weight for my height (or the BMI charts), but because of my body type, I can't drop that low or I'd look ill. I've been at my goal weight once before and I looked great. (Well, I didn't think I did then, but you know how that goes...) Feel free…
-
About a week ago!!!! I've had the *this is it* moment at least eight times in the last five years... but this one just feels right. I'm seeing a trainer, lifting weights, eating high-protein, low-ish carb, and feeling fantastic. My "aha" moment was actually related to my health - I had a pulmonary embolism at 31, it took…

Ohhhh, I forgot about those. Those are good stuff.

Three tablespoons of Gen Soy protein powder + one cup almond milk ... <200 calories, and usually keeps me full till lunch (I say usually because there are some exceptions.) And it tastes like chocolate milk! But I, too, don't have time in the morning. I have to get ready, I have to get my kid ready, and on top of that, I…

I have a Masters and I have spent more time hearing "you're overqualified" than anything else. In my current job, do I use it? No. My degree and my job do not really coincide. But, to be fair, my degree was very specialized (MFA in Mass Communications - with a focus on First Amendment Law). HOWEVER, that said, I think it…

I think I love you.

My husband supports me, yet routinely sabotages me. Doesn't feel so much like support then. Le sigh. I've got about 60 to go to my goal, and about 75 to go to get within my ideal weight range for my height. (Why is my goal higher? Because my build is bigger, and I felt great at that weight before... I won't knock it if I…

Oh, and I forgot one very important addition to this list .... NUTELLA!!!!!!!!!!! On anything and everything. Or just straight from the container.
-
Where do I start? A pizza, as much of it as I can cram down my throat-hole from the best pizza place in town. A blizzard ... Reese's and Oreo, or a turtle sundae (or hell, both!) As much good-quality chocolate as I can find (Lindor being my preference as of late) Doughnuts from the best doughnut place in town, one or two…

TRIPLETS! :)

The half marathon is my best friend's favorite race. I have no idea why. :) But I'd like to find out. Someday.... maybe.

Awesome job!

Hey Tammy - I'm in Kentucky too!!!! :)

^This is my goal. :)

Amazing... just amazing.
