That's great! I know once I got down to 199 I was exstatic as well! Still a ways to go for me as well, but it feels so good to be in "one"derland that I can gaurentee I will NEVER go into the 2's ever again! Even if I don't make it all the way down to my final goal of 150! You GO Girl! :smile:

That's awesome! Your hard work has deffinately paid off!

When I realised that I matched the clinical deffinition of "Morbidly Obese" ("weighing two or more times the ideal weight OR 100 pounds over ideal wieght")

There are those that believe that the modern idiom that "SMART Goals should be 'S'pecific, 'M'easurable, 'A'ttainable, 'R'ealistic and 'T'imely" is just psycho-babble...honestly, "to set a goal" is just another way of saying you set your mind to do something - ANYTHING. Regardless of your motivation to do so, 80 days ago…

Well I'm not really sure if can say I hit the mark this week or not. Our week was disrupted by a flood in our little town, so the "plan" went out the window entirely! I have here the items I know how to track, but honestly I have no idea how many claries one burns running around town helping evacuees and filling sandbags.…

Hope everyone is having a great week - it sounds like we're all hitting some challenges and yet finding the possitive behind those challenges! And WOW, was last week a write-off or what!? We had a co-worker in from Ontario and had to train him on 90-days of what we do with only 3 days to train him! It was hectic, and my…

Happy Sunday, everyone! :wink: Had a bit of a delay at work Wednesday that caused my whole challenge to go sideways! But it's not all bad news, as I'm still on target for nutrition and wiegth loss...lost another pound this week *wohoo*...but would have been more if I could have stayed on track for this challenge! Anyway -…

:smile: OK Ladies - I think you're what I need to help keep my on track towards my next goal of 25 pounds by the end of July! I've been logging in o n MFP every day since Jan 3rd - over 125 days in a row - I love seeing the updates of how many days I've posted - makes me realize I have now created a long-term habit of…

It hasn't been acurate for me, as durring my first 2 weeks it said I would weigh 218 in 5 weeks...well I've been on MFP for 28 days and I'm now at 214...today it says I will be 210 in 5 weeks...I'll check in again in 5 weeks and I'm betting I will be lower by a pound or 3.

Just stumbled onto this thread, so sorry I'm a late joiner! Totally motivated to do this and today is the first day to start! Did 30 minutes on the treadmill @ 3mph today...onward and upward from here! :)

Weigh in for this week: 220.5 pounds. Down 3.5 pounds this week, and 4 pounds total since starting MFP January 3rd! WoHOO! Congratulations to everyone on a great week! Even 1 pound down is an awesome acheivement, and maintaining without gaining is a great accomplishment, so give yourselves a hand!!

As I don't like coffee I got hocked on Pepsi for caffine highs. Sadly I can't drink diet beverages as the artificial sweetners give me migraines ~ :( So it's been tough kickin that habit to the cub! Second craving is chocolate - and onl certain types hit the spot so at least that's a plus I suppose. Last craving is sour,…
