I'm back on this site after MANY months being MIA. And I've gained all the weight back that I lost last year. I just want to cry. I'm NOT going to give up, and this group will help me to stay motivated. Let's do this, people! Starting weight - 282.2 Goal weight - 265

*

*Still following!* Sounds like quite a few are having a tough week. Start over today, and next week should be better. Good luck, everyone!

I love following all your successes, everyone! Keep up the fantastic work!

Jessica, are you doing a yoga video? I'd like to start doing yoga, but need to do it in the comfort of my own home - I don't want others to have to see me attempting it. Ha! If you watch a video, which one do you use?

Hahaha!!! I love it! Good luck, everyone! :flowerforyou:

Gotta *bump* to keep following all you fabulous people!

Hi, Maria!!! What a nice surprise when I got on here today - to see you on our team! Yay!! Good job, everyone, with your successes this week. Here's to another healthy week for us all! Let's kick some tushy!

Hi, all. I feel the need to apologize for not really trying the last few weeks. That certainly isn't fair to all of you. So I wanted to let you know that I woke up today feeling like a newly energized person looking to get back on track. I will NOT let you down any longer! I'm ready to rock the house! Ha!

No gain, no loss. Interesting. I couldn't have done that even if I had tried! I woke up this morning, and something hit me - I kicked myself in the *kitten* realizing how long it's been since I've truly tried to get back on track with eating healthy and exercising daily. It was like an epiphany!! Sooooo guess…

So sorry to hear you've had a sick week, my friend. Like Kim said, be thankful you're starting to feel better - that's definitely better than a weight loss. Now you can get back on track for next week - you'll do great! CONGRATS, Sara, on losing 40 POUNDS!!! That's an amazing accomplishment!! Keep up the dedicated work!!

Ooh, I can't WAIT to jot this one down! Looking forward to it!

Thanks so much, Kim. I'm signing up right now!

I NEED RECIPES!!! My hubby cooks (I really don't know how to cook - really), and that's usually the problem. He cooks what he wants, but says that if I give him a "menu," per se, he'll definitely make it. So, recipes are much appreciated - HEALTHY ones! And just having this thread is great support for me - at least it's a…

Down .2 lbs. A loss is a loss, right? Geesh! OK, so I WILL go to the grocery store today and buy some veggies. Y'all are making me crave them! Thank you for giving me a healthy craving - for once! :ohwell:

Therein lies my problem. Somehow I find eating out or picking something up real quick from the gas station is cheaper than going to the grocery store. It really doesn't make much sense, even I know that, but I have to get out of that convenient yet irresponsible routine! How I wish and wish my hubby had a job - that makes…

I was up yesterday, and haven't checked today. I'm trying to be real careful with what I eat today, and getting that water chugged! I get internet at home tomorrow - finally! So it'll be much more easy for me to stay on track once we have this at home. I'm really not putting in 100% effort these days, I don't know what's…

I was thinking the opposite for myself. I thought my measurements would be sky-higher than everyone else's because of my high weight. But I can only guess that my measurements aren't as high as I suspected, due to my height - I'm 5'11". NURSE KIM, does that sound about right, do you think that's the reason?

To anyone who has trouble with Photobucket.... This is what I do each and every time, and it hasn't failed me on MFP: On your photo, click "Edit," then click the "Resize" button, then choose the "new size" as 200 X 150 (**BE SURE** the check mark is on "Keep Proportions, and **NOT** on "Keep Percentages"), then click…

Heather, AMAZING loss this week!!! Jeesh, how'd you do that??!? I want to copy YOUR plan!! :happy: Connie

I went to my old house, and as soon as I walked in the door, my body/flexible tape measure was right there on the shoe stand. Too cool! Anyway, I'm at 189.75 inches. Eeew on the scale, eeew on the inches. Time to kick my own *kitten*!! Connie

Robin, where can I find Designer Whey? Thinking of trying the shakes that have been mentioned on this thread. I NEED THE MOTIVATION YOU ALL SEEM TO HAVE!!! Why can't I get back in the groove? The previous challenges have been just awesome for me - SO BENEFICIAL! So why can't I hop back on track? I'm so disappointed in…

Since we moved to our new home, I can't find my "flexible" tape measure anywhere! Grrr!! Think I could use my hubby's standard toolman tape measure? LOL!! The scale had BETTER be nicer to me tomorrow morning than it was this morning - dang TOM!! Connie

BUMPitty-BUMP!! Ugh, not having internet at our new place yet, really bites!! Checking in at the library today. Hope to get the net at home SOON!! Let's do this, Muscle Masters!! Connie

Yes, awesome, UP 8 POUNDS since getting booted off Round 2. OMG!! Let the challenge begin! :mad: Connie

YAY, you're on here!!! Woot! :flowerforyou: Good luck today, everyone! Us "Southerners" (SE MN) ladies are going to ROCK THE HOUSE!!!! :glasses: Connie

*OOPS*

Wow, I haven't been on this site in WEEKS! Say nothing about how I've been eating and NOT exercising. :noway: We were busy all of last month moving to our new house - I LOVE IT!! But I hate what it's done to me and the scale. YIKES! It's time to say "SEE YA" to August, and get back on track, thanks to this awesome…

WOW, WHAT AN AMAZING TRANSFORMATION!!! You inspire me!!! I've lost 43 pounds thus far, since Jan. 2011. I, too, am noticing the results! And I, too, have about another 50 or so pounds to go - I'm currently at 234lbs. It sounds like we're on the same path! Keep up the fantastic work, you're looking wonderful!

FOUR hundred??!? Yowzers, I didn't know that was even possible!! Ooh, hubby will be happy to hear we can have meat for every meal - ha! Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts.
