  • Best of luck with finding a method that makes you feel more comfortable. There is lots of good advice here. I would just suggest that even if your are embarressed, you need to keep going because it is important for your health. And remember that EVERYONE is self-conscious about something, often multiple things - you just…
  • I have 200+ to lose. I am down 60# since mid-November, but have plenty more to lose. Feel free to add me. I am on daily - it helps keep me honest! :wink:
  • So glad to hear about the sodium reduction as that is a killer! I love the buffalo chicken on wheat (diced chicken covered with spicy sauce) with lettuce, tomato, spinach, green pepper, a bit of onion and light ranch dressing. Super Yummy!
  • I am an attorney with a municipal corporation (quasi-governmental agency). The work varies across all fields - from HR/employee relations to contracts to drafting regulations - but lately I am feeling bored and dissatisfied. Thus, I spend a good chunk of my day reading on MFP. I have a flexible schedule and currently work…
  • if you cannot figure it out, message me. i have the ladies' model :smile:
  • Happy Friday all. Been a busy morning for me. I am hosting our knitting/beading/crocheting/gossiping/eating group this evening - there are 6 of us and we take turns hosting on Fridays. Anyway, baked 2 dozen chocolate chip cookies - did I mention we eat? Still have to cut up veggies for salads and clean the powder room.…
  • Great job Mollie! What a ton of NSVs this month!!! No doubt you will lose in April - I just feel like it will be your month!!!
  • Oh Joanna, I am so sorry the scale has not cooperated! But you are exactly right - patience is the key. You are doing everything you can, so there is no doubt your body's rebellion will end. Glad you intend on sticking with it!!! Also sorry about your knee - mine really hurt quite a lot but am hopeful that losing more…
  • Oh L, that is so touching. I have so happy that you are moving forward and proud to maybe have been a small part of that. Hope you have a wonderful weekend my dear! Save travels!!!
  • Jolene, that sounds like a fantastic plan!!!!
  • Hi all. It has been a killer busy day here at work! I have to hit the grocery on the way home and then hopefully make a spot of dinner and get some exercise! My Thursday Triumph is that I exercised yesterday. While I have been walking every day, I decided with the pain in my foot, I needed to lay off it for the night. Had…
  • You can totally do this Jackie. Sorry your workday is too hectic to be able to eat much. But, I agree with you that getting moving a bit more should definitely help. Hang in there - you are doing great! :flowerforyou:
  • Congratulations on all your recent triumphs!!!! Sounds like you are doing super!!! No doubt the scale will keep on moving with all the work you are putting into it!!! :flowerforyou:
  • Definitely roller coaster riding!!! I KNOW the seatbelt or overhead harness thingie will not latch over my girth right now. :sad:
  • Awesome working out Shelly!!!!
  • [:explode: I think we all need to remember (including me) that NO FOOD IS FORBIDDEN, we just need to moderate and account for the higher calorie foods and maybe have smaller portions then we would of in the past. Plus have those foods less frequently then we would have previously. Me personally…I will NEVER give up Carbs,…
  • Thanks for that Kelly!!! I am one of those who tends to dwell on the negative, esp. with myself. Although I am quite good at encouraging others to them themselves a break, I rarely heed my own advice. Thanks again for reminding me that is is a lifestyle change and that being on target most of the time is what counts - not…
  • Cathy, congrats on having such a super doc! I know I tend to avoid the doctor's office because I do not want to talk about my weight. For the husband thing, I would just let him do is "measurements" the way he wants - eyeball, guesstimate, etc. I find that when I make "helpful suggestions" to my partner, it does not always…
  • Congrats on the new scale. Sorry it did not show the same results as our old one. But, you are doing great - as evidenced by your smaller jeans - so just stick with it!!!
  • Does this mean he is not coming ??:sad: [/quote] LOL LOL LOL Karen you cracked me up with that response!!! Thanks 'cause I needed a laugh today :laugh: :heart:
  • Joanna, that is a fantastic achievement!!! Sounds like you made wonderful choices at lunch and did not even miss that calorie and fat-laden food. WTG!!! :drinker:
  • LOL. Alas no child - I just love the Lego video games for Xbox and HP is one of my all-time favorite series. Absolutely brilliant. So when those 2 combine, it is wonderful!
  • L, glad you got some treatment for your infection! Bet you will be back in good form in no time now! Malias, that is a wonderful suggestion! You are so right - I would never talk to a friend, probably not even an enemy - they way I beat up on myself verbally! Must do better! Sue, take it easy today. Don't want you burning…
  • [/quote] Positive self talk is a hard one, but the more you practice it the better you will feel about the whole process. We can re-program ourselves to find the positive in any situation. This brings us peace of mind and makes the journey a pleasant one. This does not mean their will be times we will struggle but if we…
