I need all the support and motivation I can get. I did really well two years ago, but slid back. I really would like to get back to where I was in August 2011. SW: 187 CW: 178 GW For the month of May: 173 UGW: 145 Check in dates May 3rd: May 10th May 17th: May 24th: May 31st:

Moved to West Bloomfield in '76, graduated from CMU, married and moved to Livonia in '90, then moved to the Grand Rapids area in '99, and love visiting my mom in TC and the in-laws in Sugar Springs (between Gladwin and West Branch) during the summers! Hello all!

January 25th for me! Saw one match in the previous thread, but haven't gone through them all yet.

I could use some new friends too. Feel free to add me as well.

I also am not a big fan of water. Nor do I ever feel really thirsty. I can go a whole day without drinking anything, and still not feel that thirsty. Never have. And I don't believe that I eat enough "watery" foods in my diet either. I found last year that I lost more weight when I drank more water. Simple enough. Plain…

I did weigh in on Thursday, but didn't get online to post it, so here it finally is: 168.5 No real gain or loss for the entire 13 week period. But I'm okay with that. I have had so much go on in the last month, that for me not to gain any weight was a win in my book. So, it's all good. Now it's time to re-focus and get…

Hey all! Sorry I've been MIA lately. I've been logging in, but have not been really motivated lately. My mom visited over the weekend, and even though she's losing weight with Weight Watchers, she brought a bunch of "goodies" for the kids (like animal crackers, yum!). That and last week, the battery went out on our scale,…

Hi Ladies!!!!! I hope you all are doing well. I feel bad that I forgot to weigh in on Thursday! I was busy getting ready to take my ds to visit a couple of colleges in OH. We left last night for Cleveland (a 5 hour drive), spent the morning at one college, the afternoon at another, then drove back to Michigan to visit a…

Like you, I really do not like the taste of water. Plus, I never really seem to feel thirsty, so there are some days when I realize that I haven't had a single thing to drink all day. However, when I do remember to get in 8 cups of water per day, and keep at it, I seem to lose more weight. If I don't drink, I stay the…

Oh what a busy week!!! I completely forgot to log in my weight on Thursday. I've been really bummed that TOM screwed me up so much this month. I went up 4 pounds, and it stubbornly stayed! I am happy to report that my CW is 168! In the last week I saw my weight go up to 171 (really depressing!), but now it seems to be…

It's weigh in day. I'm at 170 this morning. Somehow I gained 3 pounds this week. I need to keep my calories under control, and my water intake up. On the up side, I did the crunches 5 out of 7 days (hurray for me!) and I actually did more than 30 on a couple of them! I'll try and reel things back in and have a better week.…

I guess I can weigh-in, but I don't like it. TOM arrived with a vengence last night, and with it a couple of extra pounds. CW: 170 I managed to gain 4 pounds! Next week will be better, and I'm already in for 8 cups of water. Good luck everybody!

I forgot to post my weight yesterday! Oops! CW: 166 I will work hard on the challenges this week. Crunches: Yes Water: No - short 4 cups. Friuts and Veggies: 5 servings! Yeah me!!! Got to get in more water today, and get those crunches done! Have a great day everybody!

Yeah, I found the new thread! It's been a long week for me (but I suppose that could be just an excuse, as it takes very little time to check in!). I have not really done the challenges this week because I didn't see them early enough last week, but I swear, I will check first thing tomorrow morning for our next challenge…

Here's my late weigh in for the week 166. No real gain, no real loss. Here's hoping next week is better.

I'm still here! I forgot to weigh in yesterday because I had a raging headache in the morning, spent the afternoon working on a wedding cake, and then the evening was dedicated to going to curriculum night at 2 schools. In any case, it wasn't a great week for me. I didn't exercise enough, or keep up on my water. I was okay…

Monday Weigh-In - 167 Somehow I gained weight. I won't worry about it. It was a long week last week, and I look forward to this one being better. Good luck everyone.

Add me to the list, and friend me if you like. I have just about 20 pounds to lose to get to a "normal" bmi. I think I'd be pretty happy there. And to do it by my birthday, would be the icing on the cake! Kelli Starting weight - 165.5 Birthday - 1/25/66 Oh, and I hate exercise too!

Hey, I'm in!! The long weekend and the start of school on Tuesday really set me back this week. Starting Weight: 165.5 I hope by Halloween I can lose about 8 pounds.

Hello everybody!!! I feel like I've been away a long time! Due to the holiday weekend, I was without internet access from Friday afternoon until late Monday evening, and with Tuesday being the first day of school, it's been a hectic week as everyone adjusts to the new routine (including me!). I never did see the calorie…

It was a long holiday weekend, and I didn't get on the scale until today. Final weigh in - 165.5 Neck: 15" Waist: 35.5" Hips: 41" Left Thigh: 23" Right Thigh: 23" Overall a small loss for this challenge, but this last month has been really tough. Looking forward to the Halloween Challenge! Good luck everybody!

I was diagnosed with hypotthyroidism after my father passed away 5 years ago. Before the diagnosis, I had gained about 10 pounds was incredibly tired, felt cold, and my hair was just falling out more than usual. I just attributed my symptoms to stress and having 4 kids home in the summer ranging in age from 2 to 12. It…

First Official Weigh In: 166 (still up 3 lbs from a couple of weeks ago, but I'm okay with it)

You know I'm with you Tausha!!! Your name: Kelli Which Group do I want to participate in: 16 - 20 lbs. First Official Weigh In: I'll do that in the morning, but it's close to 167 right now (dang TOM!) It's been a really slow August for me, so this is a great kick start for the fall.

Welcome fellow Michigander! Or is is Michiganian? Whatever it is, Welcome to MFP!! It's amazing how just keeping track of what you put into your mouth translates into weightloss! Good luck to both of you!

Monday Weigh-In: No change. :cry: Although I really shouldn't be surprised. It was a back and forth kind of week, and I did not really drink any water for 2 days. That always sabotages my weight. Getting out that water bottle and trying to get back at it! Good luck everybody!

I agree - great topic, just a week too late for me, too! However, now I'll be prepared for next month!

Not weighing in today because of TOM. I'm sure I'm carrying a bit of water weight because my pants feel snug. We'll call it even for the week, and I'll be drinking lots of water this week.

I'll have to see if I can find any pics of me. I am 5' 3 3/4" (I'd love to say 4" but it's probably not that true any more!), and at my heaviest was 192. I started MFP in January of this year at 189 and currently at 163. I still can't believe that I've managed to lose almost 25 pounds this year! I don't see it yet, but…

Thanks to everyone for their great advise! I actually managed to lose 1.5 pounds (although I wasn't able to weigh myself before I left, so it is over the course of 2 weeks). A huge success in my book!!
