  • This is a great idea since the holidays are always tough. I don't want to fall back into old, bad habits with my eating, so being accountable here will definitely help. I'll weigh in the weekend following Thanksgiving and post my starting weight then. I'm not specifying any amount of weight I want to lose each week because…

  • Hi!! My name is Gina and I've been struggling with my weight all my life, some periods of time worse than others. I'm 52 years old with 2 children, 26 and 23 and a wonderful husband who supports me no matter what my weight. I've been part of the mini-challenge for a number of weeks and appreciate all the unconditional…

  • Congratulations Lady Gloria, great news about the smaller pant size :drinker: Felt good today because I figured out my breakfast and lunch choices for at least the next couple of weeks. I think that's going to make a big difference in stopping my impulse eating. Everyone sounds like they're doing a good job this week, even…

  • Sorry you're not feeling well MAK :frown: I know Littlemount was getting discouraged. Maybe it's just a break and she'll start up again soon. Check-in for Wednesday: No impulse eating today, but I have decided to make life easier I'm going to eat the same breakfast and lunch from now on. I just think it will be better and…

  • Hi All! Complete failure yesterday as far as goals and even logging, which isn't usually a problem for me. I may not have gone over calories, but I have no idea because I just picked at things all day and did taste a few of the mini candy bars that we gave out for Halloween :frown: Anyway, onto today (Tuesday): I did not…

  • I definitely understand why you feel discouraged. It is so much harder the older you get. I just turned 52 and this has been a tough road to even get just 8 pounds off :frown: HOWEVER, keeping up with the healthy eating and good habits makes a difference in so many areas, not just weight but feeling healthy and knowing you…

  • It's my birthday today so I'm not counting any more calories after right now (4 pm). I know my birthday dinner will most likely put me over, but it's once a year, right??? I did get my walks in though :drinker: Have a great day everyone!!!:heart:

  • Way off on calories today. Came home from work and my niece had made a delicious steak dinner made with butter and cognac!!! Delicious, but a killer on calories. I actually don't even know how to log it, but she worked so hard I couldn't say "no thank you" without feeling badly. Oh well, tomorrow is another day :ohwell:…

  • Lttee: My heart goes out to you and your daughter. Nothing is worse than losing a pet that you love as much as any other family member. As I said before, we put our 14-year old lab/husky mix down about 3 weeks ago and my heart still aches. Let the tears come, no reason to hold them in. :brokenheart: I'm so sorry you're…

  • Oh, I'm so sorry about your dog. I can really sympathize with you as I had to put my dog, Sophie, down about 2-1/2 weeks ago. :cry: She is the one in my profile picture. It's very lonely here without her. I hope your dog is ok :heart:

  • My Saturday check-in: 1. Didn't log my food today, but haven't eaten much either. I've been very busy as my niece and her two children moved in with us today so she can get back on her feet while going through a difficult divorce. Please wish us all lots of luck with this new arrangement :wink: 2. No formal exercise, but…

  • Checking in for Tuesday and Wednesday: Went to bed very early last night with a headache, which is why I didn't check in. Woke up with a nasty head cold so I think I'll be in bed early again tonight!! I did walk both days and am logging, but haven't been too hungry. I hope everyone is having a good week. :flowerforyou:
