Well, I have to admit I still am not completely on the wagon but I have been doing better than I was. I am slowly upping my water intake again and eating less sweets. Sweets are my downfall! Especially in the Fall when I love to bake because it is finally cool enough to not bake myself with the oven on.

Hi! I am back after a month long break. I went away for a fun weekend and fell off the wagon. As you all know, it is hard to get back on afterwards. Glad I was able to find the thread again! Becky

Thursday Truth: I have been doing poorly at cutting down on the carbs. I have been over on carbs a lot lately and even with being at or under calorie goal, I am not losing because of it. Just thought I would pop in and say "HI"! I lurk and read everyone's posts every day. Just short of time all the time. Welcome to all the…

Saturday success: I went to the Y and swam for 60 minutes. This is the first on purpose exercise I have gotten since starting about 6 wks ago. I wish I had time to do personals every day. I do read and try to keep up with everyone.

Just wanted to say "Welcome" to Christy and Pamella!

Nettie- Congratulations!! How exciting!

Fera-I am a gardener and a canner/preserver! I also live in Indiana. What part of Indiana is this in? I live in Central, just south of Indianapolis.

Just had to share a small success. I lost 3.2 lbs this past week! I am now at 12 lbs lost. I still haven't added any activity that would be just for exercise. I have done a little deep cleaning this past week which gives me a little extra movement than normal.

Lives2travel, Skinnyjean, Teresa, Thanks for the well wishes and congratulations!! Hansea-Unfortunately, I did not get to relax after work. I went home and cleaned and moved a little furniture. I am supposed to be getting a piano this week and have to rearrange some things. tlh-Yay on getting the house you wanted!!!…

Well, I think I got all the pandemonium here. I work 12 hrs on Mondays and it is always hectic. UGH! 1 hr 15 mins left.:ohwell:

Monday check in: I definitely struggled this weekend. I have a bad cold and felt like a Mack truck had hit me all weekend. It doesn't help that I did not sleep well or much the last couple of nights because of the coughing. However, I still managed to lose over the weekend. Woohoo! A total so far of 8.8 lbs. I don't often…

Littleshadow- Glad you and yours are safe! And that the power is back on. Skinnyjeanz- This patch belongs to an old family friend. I have been picking there for 20+ years. Blueberries are my favorite too! I LOL'd at the treadmill set on kilometers. :) Kah- If you lived close by, I would share. :flowerforyou: I am glad your…

Good Evening All, This weekend was one of no tracking and more sweets than was good for me. We will see what my weight is tomorrow at my official weigh in day. I had a great time and did get a little activity in as well. Went and picked blueberries with my daughter and mother. Yummy snacks!! And free to boot! I watched…

I have been such a slug today. I did wash the dishes and cooked 2 meals but otherwise nothing. Oh well, I guess tomorrow is a fresh start. It is too bad though cause I have so much that needs done. I think weekends should have 3 days so that one can be a lazy day, one for church and one for all the stuff you need to do.…

Teresa, I just sent you a friend request. Welcome!

Laurie- Thanks for the welcome. I can tell that ya'll care about each other and encourage each other a lot.

Thanks, littleshadow! It is a nice motivation in and of itself.

Patriciadane-Welcome! I hope you find some help and encouragement here. I had considered the surgery route but decided I didn't really want to do that considering the cost and risks. I wish you luck with it though!

First I just want to share a small success. I lost 1.8 lbs this week! It is nice to see the scale moving in the right direction for the first time in a long time. :happy: Wednesday wish: To be able to shop for clothes in a regular store instead of a specialty plus size store or online. Plus size stores are sooo expensive.…

Following along...

Since I missed Sunday I am going to tell a little about myself today. My name is Becky. I am 36 yrs old and a single mom to one 9 yr old girl. I have alway been heavy. I am the same weight I was when I was 18. I have about 180 lbs to lose. I lost around 75 to 80 lbs a few years ago but due to a knee injury I put it all +…

Hi, My name is Becky. I am a newbie here. Hoping that some accountability will help me stay on track.

I'm in! I started as a strawberry blonde. It got much oranger (is that a word?) as I got older. It was a really pretty red during my 20's and now it is going back to strawberry blonde. But I guess I qualify through all my natural color changes. LOL I also have the fair skin, freckles and hazel (green-blue) eyes. :)

I am fairly new to MFP as well and have almost 200 lbs to loose. I could certainly use support. Feel free to add me as well. Thanks!
