I'm finding this late, but am interested in round 43 :smiley:

I did a lot of yogurt today because I had food poisoning on Saturday. I had a small yogurt for breakfast, and a bigger helping with sunflower seeds for dinner. May squeeze in something warm, but we'll see. Also had coffee and Gatorade.

emrogers, what is that dish you posted a pic of? Looks amazing!!

So, I have been assigned a team but when I officially tried to join the group I was denied. So sorry for posting two days late!! I am only two pounds away from my monthly goal!! I am super excited. I forgot that this challenge was by Valentines day, so I'm shooting for 7 pounds. :)

I'm in. I think this may help me fine tone some things by having to look more closely at what exactly I'm doing to get on with my goals.

When I started with MFP I had over a hundred pounds to lose, despite a hiatus I have actually gotten to where I "only" have 73 to go now, it's a lot and I'd love to be added to this discussion. I think it's a lot harder to get motivated when you're looking at a lot of weight and a lot of time, and it would be great to be…

I totally understand how you feel. You get to a good point and are still not there yet, though you felt like you would be. You are doing AMAZING. Keep on going. And just do what I do when you hit a goal and still feel wanting, pick out more skinny clothes online LOL. In the next size down ;)

LOL, me, too. But now that the rest of me is big, too, not so much.

I have to say I have faded into invisibility. When I was in shape everyone looked at me, now it's like I'm not even there. At first it made me feel bad, but since I don't really fit in with most people anyway, I think I now kind of find it comforting. I have a weird sense of humor and now no one is offended by my shirts…

Love the pants one. My kid said this to me just yesterday. It has taken me FOREVER to start losing weight and having bigger pants is kind of the point. So that one made me laugh. I'm not running out and buying pants everytime I lose a little weight. Now when I lose a LOT of weight.....I'm putting myself in debt. My…

I think the majority opinion here is right. That you have put this much thought into it proves you are the kind of person who can present the facts in a way that isn't hurtful and will get your point across without being to harsh. I also agree that it is better to end it sooner than later. My ex and I were always on again…

Feel free to add me, anybody. I'm kind of new, but have got the hang of it and really love my existing support group of friends, always good to have more!

I haven't really denied myself anything either. I think now what I do is just think more about what I eat. I haven't lost anything and I started months ago. When I get depressed about the slowness of the process I ask myself if I want to stay fat and single or lose weight and start dating. It's usually a pretty easy…

I'll probably have to work. I am lucking out, my daughter is going with a family friend to their big easter celebration and I'll be at work. Not that that will save me, work is the capitol city of junk food (all men but me and one other girl, and they don't seem at all concerned about their figures LOL). I think I dodged…

Disawell, I say take a day off. It won't hurt you. Enjoying yourself once in a while won't kill you and we have to learn to live with it anyway ;)

I love beef jerky. Both the sort of cruddy stuff, like Slim Jim, and the real stuff. The jerky at my local meat market is addictive. The sodium is a draw back, but it fills me up as well as a cupcake and I adore it, always have. When we get our own place I plan on making my own. My friend does, and it is also good. I say…

Feel free to add me as well, I try to log every day and manage it most of the time :)

Hello! I am also new and am looking for support! I am 40 and it is a scary time to need to be losing weight! Feel free to friend request me, I imagine I'll be onsite every night checking my calories and exercise. It's a lot easier than writing it in a book. My weight "snuck" up on me after my ex and I broke up and then I…

Yes, I think we night people are often cursed to want to eat while we are up late LOL. I am looking for support here and would be happy to be support for you, too! You have a lot less to lose than me, I'm sure you'll do great!!

I am totally new to the board, but was a HORRIBLE over eater when I was a pre-teen after my dad died (used to make myself physically ill I'd eat so much). Then I lost about 90lbs. on my own. I then got into serious working out and my weight was good until right before I had my daughter at 27. I had put a little weight on…
