Absolutely! I am open to anything that will help keep me on track!

Thanks! When I first started MFP I lost 65 pounds in about 6 months but at the time, I thought that was very slow and got discouraged (seeing my ticker saying 85 pounds to go). I realize now, that I was crazy and that was an impressive loss. If I did it then, I can do it now...but I hope that with my new mind set and…

I have the same goal. I have been trying for years but keep giving up. I turn 30 this year and really want to get rid of this weight for GOOD!! Anyone with the same goals can feel free to add me! :cheers:

^^^^this!!! there are 2 kinds of people in this world. redheads, and those who wish they were redheads :wink:

Double post! :grumble:

My goal is to stick with my goal! :laugh: Having said that...I would like to challenge myself to drop 20 pounds in this challenge. More would be better, but I have set very unrealistic goals for myself in the past and then beat myself up over not reaching them. I will set low and if I exceed my goal, that will be even…

i like the grove square cappuccino's. hazelnut and caramel are me two favorites. 60 calories per cup but you don't have to add cream or sugar to it. I also like the dark hot chocolate and the apple cider.

i was kind of surprised about this, but not so much about the calories as I was about the portion size. I used to love to eat the Marie Callenders pot pies and always just assumed they were single serving. Turns out, they are supposed to be shared and if you eat an entire one by yourself it is over 1,000.…

IN for boxed food....

Both of y'all have done amazing and I thank you both for sticking with me. I lost 1 pound this week! So, I am not going to meet my goal, but still happy to be losing :smile: I will updates me stats in a bit. I apologize, this month got away from me for sure!!

Hey y'all!! I did my weekly weigh in this morning and I am sad to report, that I am UP 10 POUNDS!!!!!!!! I feel like this cannot be happening, but I know I have been eating horribly and not moving around much since I have been sick and I am just miserable. I have GOT to get it together. My new goal...take these 10 pounds…

My sister lives close by and owes me a few days of babysitting...but when she heard "cold/flu" she opted out...she doesn't want to bring it to her house too!! LOL I would have to say that, though my official weigh in is not until tomorrow morning, I believe I have gained about 5 pounds since Thanksgiving "week" because…

You had a loss!!! I am very proud of you! :smile: congrats! I have not had a loss in 2 weeks now. My goal will not be reached by Christmas, but I am going to keep at it! And, side note, I apologize for being absent this weekend...I have been fighting a cold and did not do much other than rest and chase after my kids! (they…

WOW!!! You have some crazy will power. I woulda ate the whole thing. And, now I want cheesecake! LOL Can you tell what my weakness is??? I am proud of you :smile:

Wow...waterpark? Where are you located?? It will be in the 40's and raining here this weekend! LOL And, we got this TOGETHER we CAN do it!!!

I feel the same way. No excuses...I just haven't had any motivation. No one in my family eats healthy and I am a single mom so it is just me and the kids every night. They will eat healthy, but it seems to be so much easier to just heat something up, do homework, baths and bed...by the time we all get home for the night. I…
