  • I have never been one to take pictures or measurements in the past, but now that I have lost over 60 pounds, I am kind of regretting that I didn't do either one. I do have random pictures to compare now and then just by nature of I was heavy for years, but to have no measurements to compare is something I sometimes wish I…
  • Yesterday I met my goals, and I am proud of that. It may have involved chugging some water at the end of the day when I realized I was a few ounces short because I counted wrong. *blush* Today, my goal is to drink the same amount of water as yesterday (without having to chug water at the end of the day!) and to eat at more…
  • I agree with others who are saying they probably have noticed from afar...on the other hand, some people just aren't that observant. When I hit 55 pounds lost, I had a person I see once a week mention "You look like you have lost some weight, maybe like 15 pounds?" I thanked them for noticing and told them I had lost 55…
  • I have my weigh in for today, but I am confused as to whether I should post it here or wait for week 4? On the spreadsheet, it was week 3 above the column I filled in, BUT I am the only one who has it filled in. This makes me think I am ahead and should wait for week 4 thread to come out. Oh well, too early in the morning…
  • I am excited about this group too! Looking forward to this group continuing my journey once the countdown to 2015 group ends.
  • Weigh in showed 4 pound loss! Now my goal for the next 10 days is to not gain it all back by being "proud" of the loss. My goals for today are to drink my large water bottle twice (I don't remember the amount of ML the bottle has on it) and to eat more calories than I did yesterday (I didn't eat enough and don't want to…
  • Now that my body is feeling a little better today (I now know to avoid high sodium meals!), my goals are to drink all my water and take a 30-45 min walk. Yes, I know this is redundant, will be my 7th day of the same goal, but so far, I have reached it 5 out of 7 days! I am excited for the first weigh in to see how…
  • Hi! I am 27, not new to MFP, but new to this group. Good luck on your journey! Feel free to add me!
  • Hi all! Yesterday I met my goals with water and walking, so that is a positive! Lat night, I ate out with my husband, and the meal I chose, while delicious and good in calories, was high in sodium and seems to have upset my stomach, so today, my goal is just one: Drink lots of water!! I won't be taking a walk today,…
  • Yesterday I did not get my walk in since I was unexpectedly told I had to stay late at work to get the last thing done. I will get paid extra for my trouble though (Win!). My goal for today is to get in a 45min-1hour walk. It is a gorgeous day! I also would still like to drink all my water to goal. Weekends are…
  • I met my day 3 goals: I drank my water and went for a walk (for an hour instead of the 30-45 min goal!) My goal for today is the same: drink all my water and get in a walk. May seem boring, but I am looking for consistency in my journey
  • I have weighed in! I know I am ahead, but I will post it here anyway because I like the number :) SW: 176 CW: 171.5 Lost: 4.5 Challenge goal weight: 160
  • Weighing tomorrow for the 'official' results...can't wait to find out! Will edit when I have the numbers. :)
  • What an amazing story of hope and perseverance. Hats off to you, and congrats on your daughter and your recovery!
  • Yesterday I did not get all my water in, and it was a long and late day working 8-5 and being on call 5-midnight. I am dragging today. My goals for today are to drink all my water (I really feel it when I don't), and take a 30-45 min walk after work to clear my head and get moving.
  • Hi! I am not on an Isa plan, but I am currently drinking an Isalean shake a day for the protein and nutritional content. Meeting with an Isa consultant on Sunday to learn more about how Isa can help me where I am at. I wouldn't be able to do the traditional Isa plan with cleanses right now, but know Isa has benefits no…
  • 27 years old here and in the middle of my journey...feel free to add me!
  • My calorie goal on here is 1200/day. I am on mainly liquid diet right now due to health reasons, so reaching 1200 is a challenge, to say the least. I do the best I cccan with protein shakes and liquid supplements. My main nutritional goals are to drink water, A LOT of it, and get as much protein in my diet as possible.…
  • Hello! I currently live in Illinois. My goal is to be in the 150's by the end of the year. I put on the goal sheet to be AT 150, but I know 23 pounds is a lofty goal, so IN the 150's' would be a positive accomplishment. I have already lost 57 pounds, so I expect a plateau soon. I would prefer to not hit one, but in the…
  • Added my name to the spreadsheet. My goal for today is to get in all my water. This is a challenge as the day is almost over and I am only 25% in...need to drink a lot more!
  • Starting late, but I can add my stuff now. I weigh on Fridays, so I already have my week 1 numbers: For the short term season: SW: 176 week 1 CW: 173.5 Total lost: 2.5 GW: 155-160 UGW: 135-145 (Depends on how I feel once I get there)
  • I have paragard, the non-hormonal IUD. I have no children, so insertion was difficult as they had to 'pin' open my cervix, which caused a small tear that took a few days to heal, but I made it through fine. Yes, the first few days after insertion were painful with cramping and pains and such and the first 3-6 months of the…
  • I would love to keep up the momentum I have and lose another 15-20 pounds by Christmas as well. Anyone feel free to add me, I love motivation though other people's successes!
