I'm so happy for you Shawna! What an great thing to discover: Some of this weight is good weight!! (muscle)

I just learned how to add friends. You can either accept a request from someone, or you can ask to friend someone by clicking on their profile pic, then clicking again on their name when it comes up. You can either send a message or add a friend. Best of luck to you!

Hi Nikkipink. Welcome. I'm pretty new to this myself, but I can assure you it has already had a positive effect in my life. We all struggle. Friendship on MFP truly helps. Feel free to add me to you friends' list.

Wagged today.

Skipped a few days, but back to wagging again today!

Don't know how I missed the week 4 weigh in thread. I submitted a long post on week 3! Last Friday 155.5 Today 154 -1.5

Wow! Thank you for that, Valerie. I will definitely do some shopping and make these. Today I am trying to refocus and not binge. I have been doing so well. This is just discouraging. But I have said that if I'm gonna call "this time different" then it needs to be so. I need to remember that consistency is key rather than…

Congrats in advance, Valerie! I guess the extra energy you are sending out is for people like me. I am struggling with food (bingeing) at the end of the day. So frustrating because I do so well, stay on track and eat healthy all day and afternoon. I'm not over-restricting, but I find myself grabbing cereal, nuts,…

I'm liking the charming farmer already. He better not be married! Don't want anyone hurting our sweet Besty.

I did it.

I did it.

I did it!

Ok. Thanks Krissy.

That's great Mitsi. You deserve both the extra time (for yourself) and the additional pay! Best of luck.

I did it

Good for you. It is always so encouraging when you discover that they fit again!

I did it!

Hi teammates. Checking in here. Wagged my tail today and I feel so good about it. I hadn't exercised in FOREVER

Our niece came to visit this afternoon. I made a nice healthy meal and decided to bake her a little cake. (Her birthday was on Friday.) I had a slice. Not the slice I would normally have (and seconds, of course). I had a sliver, enjoyed it thoroughly and didn't feel a need to have any more. This is Huge for me! Being able…

Thank you for that, Karen. I've never heard of it, and it sounds awesome!

I really am doing this for ME this time. Although I know that my husband and kids will be proud of my weightloss, I know that the pride I'll feel will be even greater. I want to be strong and fit. Not seeking perfection (because I'll never find it), but I want to treat my body like it deserves to be treated. Enough of the…

I agree that we should continue to offer our encouragement to all those that joined the group. Give them another week. It's possible that some people still feel shy or intimidated. Maybe they aren't progressing and don't feel they have anything to contribute. (I know that feeling.) After that, if they appear to have lost…

Hi All. Good job! I had a rough week. Somewhat of an emotional rollercoaster, but: SW 158.5 CW 157.5 Lost the lb. that I had gained the previous week. At least it's going in the right direction! Have a great weekend everybody.

Hi Marla. Welcome! Our group is great. Feel free to add me. Maggie

Mitsimr and Maribelle, you both make very good points. I love the approach. I tend to do well all day, basically choosing meats, brown rice, veggies and fruit, nuts and such. I stay within my calorie range, but then find myself bingeing in the evening. I've been trying to lose 1 1/2 - 2 lbs/week, but at this rate I'm going…

Hey there! I guess we are pals in both groups. This is all new to me, too, but there are some amazing people on MFP. I'll cheer you on!

Hi. I'm Maggie (formally that red door/knob picture. I found my face! Lol) Feel free to add me. I hope everyone is having a good weekend. Stay strong in your resolve!

Good Morning Friends. I slowly approached the scale this morning knowing that I had likely gained. SW 157.5 CW 158.5 I honestly expected worse. I eat well/clean all day and then binge (baaad binge) at night! I take a deep breath and start each day anew, but still fall into the same cycle. I am hopeful, though, because I'm…

Maggie-SW160-Age51-GW125 Thanks stesig13!
