I was wondering what happened to our group last week too. I sort of lost motivation the past 2 weeks too though, I'm kind of stuck. Hoping to get my mind in the right place again this week and start doing better :) SW: 160 W1: 156 W2: 154ish? W3: 152.8 W4: 151 W5: 152.3 W6: 152.0

SW: 160 W1: 156 W2: 154ish? W3: 152.8 W4: 151 W5: 152.3 Boo. I gained this week, but it was bound to happen eventually. I didn't track nearly as much as I should've and had it coming. BLah. Ah well, it's a new week:) Great job everyone!

I love this idea! Especially during the holidays, it's going to be tricky, but it's just what I need around the holidays. I'm half way through chemo for hodgkins lymphoma and need something to keep me motivated to keep moving when I feel like garbage. Can't wait to get started :)

Hi, I'm Mae, I am 25 and have always been very active in the gym up until a few months ago. I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in July and started chemo in August. I tried to maintain my workout regimen, but was unsuccessful. I sort of gave up and didn't gain weight, but lost a lot of muscle and stayed the same weight!…

Well, I didn't hit my benchmark, but I can't complain because I still lost! Going for the 140's next week:) SW: 160 W1: 156 W2: 154ish? W3: 152.8 W4: 151

Hi! Hope y'all don't mind me joining this group. I love the idea! I'm trying to start 2014 off with a bang, and what better way than to stay focused during the holidays:) It would be nice to feel confident in my holiday photos for once. Plus, I love Christmas!

Well I didn't track as much as I should have this week, but I did do quite a bit of yoga, and since I didn't have chemo last week I think I was more active in general. SW: 160 W1: 156 W2: 154ish? W3: 152.8 Dropped, but not quite as much as I was hoping....aaaand I finally got a good scale! Yay! Next week I'm going for…

I love this thread! You don't realize you don't ever think about what you like about yourself until you're forced to write it down, we should do this more often:) 1. I like that I'm a strong minded person & I stand up for what I believe in 2. I have a great sense of humor (or at least I think I do!) Good decisions today..…

Some great results so far! I'm not 100% sure of my current weight because my crappy scale (nope, still haven't gotten a good one..) says 152ish but I feel like that's too low, so I'm going to weigh in at 154 this week, and get a more accurate reading next week at the drs. Hopefully in the mean time I'll buy a scale that…

Sounds good, gotta love a challenge!

Thanks!:)

Does anyone know where to get a good but cheap scale? I had a $10 one from Wal Mart but it was terrible. I go to the dr every other week, but I want to weigh in weekly.... thanks!

I would also like a buddy if it isn't too much trouble!

Everyone is doing great!! This is awesome. Keep it up and share your approach! Instead of just counting calories, I've been making sure they're clean foods. I've gotten really into blender soups lately, so on Sundays I make a broth and heat up a bunch of veggies, them puree it in the blender. Easy and quick way to get…

IT does seem unfair.. I had high activity levels prior to diagnoses and had a great attitude about it when I first started chemo. Unfortunately once I started the nausea set in, the port was uncomfortable, and I was pretty much exhausted all the time. I tried my usual workouts- running, insanity, etc., but I got frustrated…

Was diagnosed with Hodgkins in July, started chemo in August. I just joined this group, had no idea it existed! I also just started using mfp because my activity level has plummeted since starting chemo.

I am also weighing in tomorrow. I have drs appointments on Tuesdays so at least the scale will be consistent. I really need to get a better one for my house! It's great to see people's weigh ins! Keep up the great work!

Hey everyone, I've been on MFP for a while now, but finally just started using it...oops. I've always loved working out, but I also reaaally love to eat. That was never a problem until now. I was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma in July, and started chemo in August, and my activity level has plummeted as you can imagine. I…
