First week is always more then slows down a bit. Keep up the logging and exercising!!!

Tina - Just take it day to day. Logging for me is critical. Once I stop logging......I start eating.

Day by Day.....

Hello. I am 58 and stopped trying two years ago....but I am back. I am determined to be successful this time. End of Oct I took out obvious sugar from my diet, but compensated with other things as I didn't lose weight. My Triglycerides did go down 50 points but they are still way high. Working with my nurse practitioner on…

I just joined TOPs on-line. Would welcome any suggestions / help.

I would say many of us use the app because of the support we receive from others.

Include me again this month.

Having just committed to no dairy due to an allergy to "milk protein" - (which is not the same as lactose intolerant - so no magic pill to my dismay), I am having to eat cleaner than ever. Most prepackaged foods use whey or some type of milk protein. It also means no ice cream, no chocolate, no cheese - so no pizza. In the…

I have been using mine for quite a while...fluctuate up and down on steps but try hard for 10-15k a day //www.fitbit.com/user/25QP7L

You are climbing back on....just a little dip and it is in the past. We will always have bumps in the road but it is the climbing back on that shows the dedication to a new lifestyle

I want to start up again next week. Fighting a sinus infection and such for the past week.....started picking up my steps again yesterday. Hoping to exercise again this weekend.

The day 1/6 - that was my start over day.....All the holidays and birthdays are over (for the most part)....but I will always have events that I need to learn to deal with..... Enjoying my new attitude and finding food that I enjoy and are healthy at the same time. Current love is corn tortilla with avocado and roasted…

I like this challenge....

This is the year.....

Hello. I turn 55 next month. Promised myself by the 50th I would lose the weight...didn't happen. I am on a roller coaster. Lose first part of the year....go stagnant during summer and come fall gain it back. This year I am not gaining it back. I am not at my lowest for the year, but I am lower than I was January 1, 2013.…

I mix the plain and a fruit together. Typically Chobani.

I need to stay.......It makes me get on the scale.....

Figure out what will work for you. Me. I start with exercising. Once I am exercising regularly, the eating comes next. First becoming more conscious of what I am eating and then logging it. I really hate logging but I know that it works. When I don't log....I don't lose.

When my son took horseback riding lessons and had saddle sores. It was recommended to use Desitin. So any of the baby rash ointments, etc should help relieve the sore. Would a pillow help?

Since the scale is a discouragement for you, don't focus on the number. Focus on your measurements. Continue to monitor and log your food and exercise. I know from experience that when I don't log my "old" habits gradually creep back in. My weight is about the same as it was this time last year, but I am in a size smaller.…

Since I was driving alone this morning, the temptation to stop at Panera for a Cheese Bagel with cream cheese was so tempting. I made sure I was in the far lane when I drove past. That wasn't how I wanted to start the day. I do treat myself in the evening when I have made allowances for the treat. Sometimes you just have…

Wow. some really impressive numbers

Thanks for keeping track of all of us.
