I've had a few people to tell me to have my thyroid checked. I actually have doctors appointment scheduled for next month and I'm going to talk to them about it. (Had to change doctors due to insurance) That is awesome that you have a hiking trip planned. It will give you some motivation. My hubby is in a wedding in Nov.…

Taking nightly walks alone with just me and my headphones has helped me a lot in the past. I really need to get back to it and get my depression back under control

Where is everybody? I hope that everybody is till doing great & on track.

Lost my motivation & groove and trying to get it back.

I'm trying to keep up and friend request most of you so we can keep each other motivated. But I'm slacking so feel free to send me a request. NSV's are great. I love having them especially when the scale hasn't been moving. Weight loss has been slow lately and its getting me down. I'm sure it's not helping that my…

Sorry I've been MIA for a few days.. but I'm still here. @ptkat28 - Great job on the weight loss @MischelM - dance for exercise sounds great @tetorteson - I agree we all slip but getting back up is the important thing. Welcome @taketwo9 - I weigh myself every day. It's like an obsession. Although I only log it once a week.…

So I had this big long post typed up and then my computer decided to freeze and I had to re-start. :-( I can't remember everything. Newbies: welcome, this group is awesome. All the rest, I hope you all are having a great week. I'm enjoying my walks more and more. I've noticed that it is really helping with my depression. I…

Great job

@MischelM - awesome weight loss & great advice, love it! This time is very different for me too. @melkithall - yay for the 10% @Hippychick5983 - Happy late birthday @modacielo73 - 5lbs in 3 days? great job!!! Welcome to all the newbies. I've haven't been walking for a few days and man am I missing it. I forgot socks today…

@bregalad5 great job on finding a place. @MischelM Happy belated Birthday @Hippychick5983 Great job on losing 15 pounds @ptkat28 I try to stop myself form getting on the scales every day but it's hard. Good job on the 2lbs!

I'm in. I haven't been under 200 in 10 years or longer. Started out in Nov. @280, current weight is 266 & goal is 160

Welcome newbies! Great job on getting to the gym & getting your exercise in everybody. My FitBit is doing wonders for me. I HAVE to meet my goal every day and if I don't then I'm upset. Def. is keeping me motivated just like I wanted/needed it to. I started back on my nightly walks last night as well. The scale FINALLY…

@ptkat28 great job!! I missed my walks Saturday and yesterday. I've gotten so use to them that I can't believe I'm saying I actually missed exercising. Yesterday however we did spend 3.5 hours at the pool with some friends and our kids so I guess that was my exercise. I just took a quick walk at lunch & plan to take my…

Great job going back to the gym. I used to love going but money got to tight and I couldn't afford the membership anymore. Maybe one day I'll get back.

@melkithall Congrats on losing the first 20. To me that's always the hardest. Thanks so much for all of your kind words ladies. I've been walking alone at night for the past 2 nights & I really enjoy it. It really gives me time alone, no kids no husband.. just me and my music. Also yesterday was the 1st day since having my…

Welcome new members @shirayne I think that's a great idea. NSV: (I guess it's a "victory") I suffer from depression. I've struggled with it for years now. I have my days when it takes everything I have to even open my eyes and get up. I have 0 friends and nobody that I can talk to other then my family and honestly I don't…

I haven't checked in for a few days so I need to catch up on the comments. I looked for this post on Friday and couldn't find it. Anyway dr. apt showed that I was down 6 pounds from when they saw me in Nov. which is good. I'm down a total of 14 overall. I've been working on getting moving and exercising more. Saturday I…

Great job!!

I work in front of a computer all day so I try to get out and take "smoke" breaks. Even though I don't smoke I walk. When it's raining I can't do that. When I get home in the afternoons I'm always busy doing things with the kids and by the time I have me time it's dark outside. I don't have a treadmill. Maybe like…

Haven't been on in a few days.. well not back to post anyway. My scale FINALLY moved this morning and even if it is not even 1 full pound I'll take it. At least it's finally moving again. I haven't been walking as much as I've wanted to but that's my own fault. Today is raining go figure. Hope everybody is doing great

My moment was last month when my husband was being funny and taking pictures of me. When he showed them to me on the his phone I made him delete all of them and went to the bathroom and cried. I know that I'm not skinny however seeing those pictures (I was only in a sports bar & shorts) were an eye opener. I saw every…

It's not even 4 yet and I have already drank 50oz of water. I am super proud.. I normally hate water but today I made myself just as I'll do every day from now on. Granted I think I've peed like 100 times today but that's okay. I went on a short 15 min walk in between rain storms. I hope to be able to get in another walk…

Wow awesome job

Yesterday was bad for me!!! It rained all day so I didn't get a chance to go for a walk. Plus I didn't get to take a lunch which turned into me eating a bag of chips and drinking a coke for lunch. Then last night we had KFC for dinner. So just bad day all around! I am determined to make up for it today and get back on…

If I lost 2 pounds a week (which right now I scale isn't moving ) :neutral: but I will reach my goal June 11, 2016 which would actually be AWESOME because hubbby & I's 10 year anniversary is June 17th and we always said for 10 years we were going back to Atlantis our honeymoon spot.
