Everyone is welcome to add me. I'm trying to be on daily and my diary is open!

I've been up and down and up and down for years. I'm trying REALLY hard this time to get it under control.

I'm restarting myself, came back about 4 days ago. I'm at my highest weight ever (started at 322) and right now I'm looking to get to 250 and then will keep moving on from there. The more the merrier when it comes to friends and accountability partners!

Hi everyone!! Just wanted to say I'm thinking about you all!

hahahah This was me today for sure! And Marley is precious!! That made me giggle.

Tomorrow's another day! I'm not going to beat myself up, just going to look forward. JFT 1/24/19 1. Get back in the green! 2. Go to the gym as I didn't on Wednesday. 3. Do something for *me*. 4. Make a grocery list to meal prep this weekend. 5. Don't stress about things I can't control.

@mytime6630 I'm thinking about your daughter, and you all. Depression is a tricky beast. I really hope she accepts your help and the doctor's words. <3 It's something I've struggled with mightily for as long as I can remember. @BMcC9 I wish I knew! :( Feel free to friend me if you'd like!

Original starting weight -304 lbs January starting weight - 302 lbs January goal - 288 lbs Ultimate goal - 185 lbs January 2nd - 302 lbs January 9th - 293.8 lbs January 16th - 289.8 lbs January 23rd - 291 lbs January 30th - Total for January (so far): Down 11 This week proves weight loss isn't linear. LOL I had a few red…

I was bad and took a nap after work today, I was just drained. So no journal writing today. All in all I'm still happy with my day! JFT 1/23/19 1. Log everything - stay in the green 2. More water, always. 3. Go to the gym. 4. Planner time! 5. Do some beading, which is my form of meditation. Have a ton of projects to work…

@Bex953172 your little one is SO CUTE! I love kids!

I totally missed this when scrolling through, @PackerFanInGB! So sorry! I'd strained my back shoveling snow on Saturday. It has finally loosened up and feels back to normal now. Thank you for checking on me!

@maryrobinson40 I hope your knee is doing okay with all that walking! Sending more love your way.

@snowflake1968 that sounds so lovely! Please post pics when it's done!!

@maryrobinson40 My thoughts are with your daughter and your family. <3 She's got a great mama supporting her so I know she's in great hands! @littleblackskirt welcome! I found this thread not too long ago myself and I'm loving it! @toaljasa you are a fantastic motivator. These are such great posts!

@clicketykeys oh man now I want to know what you're seeing!!

Today was a good day! I ate far too much sugar today but I will make up for that tomorrow. LOL JFT 1/22/19 1. Log everything - stay in the green 2. Get in at least 96oz of water 3. Walk at lunch 4. Write in both of my paper planners 5. Stop beating myself up for stuff happening at work

Hey everyone! Hope you're all having a good start to the Monday. I'm already almost 64 ounces in, apparently I'm thirsty today! Hopefully that will help get my back to behave more too. Still hurting like a you-know-what. Plan to walk at the gym after work today though. Moving seems to be helping it somewhat. We'll see how…

@Snowflake1968 that is beautiful! You are so talented!

Oh goodness. Yesterday was an epic not so good day for my goals. But today is a new day and I've remained in the green as of right now so it's definitely been a better day. Working on my water now while watching the Great British Baking Show (I am addicted to it!) and resting my back. Tomorrow *will* be a gym day, my first…

Just shoveled all the snow off the driveway, sidewalk and porch. First time this year we've had enough to do that and now my chest muscles are *mad*! :lol: Plenty more to get done today but that was a huge first step. I slept in far too long today so I'm well behind where I planned to be!

@frenchfancy2014 thank you hon! <3

Today wasn't too bad! I have to admit I'm pretty pleased with myself. JFT 1-19-19 Laundry to prep for next week Make a grocery list Log all my food - stay in the green Drink 96oz of water Take some time to read/relax

@cory17 oh man, you're having a week. Hang in there!! <3

@linda1461mfp welcome!!!!

2 days in a row of being over, 3 total this week. I need to definitely be more mindful of that! The good news is my rum cake I brought back from Barbados is now out of the darn house! LOL

I didn't do quite as much of the standing as I'd wanted but I did it more often than usual so I'm calling it a win. JFT 1-18-19 Get the garbage out. Log all my food - stay in the green today! Drink 96oz at least of water. Stand and stretch every* hour at work. Find a healthy lunch for the day. Get a good sleep in since…

I might still write in the journal tonight but I'm not counting on it just because I'm being lazy. LOL I'm super emotionally drained tonight and I ended up overeating for dinner. Uncomfortably full...must remember this feeling! JFT 1-17-19 Log it all Drink all the water Write in my paper fitness journal Tackle more dishes…

Welcome!! One day at a time - that's how we do it!

JFT 1-16-19 Log everything I eat no matter what Drink all my water Weigh in (I already did this but it was the plan for today regardless! LOL) Write in my paper fitness journal Stretch often / Stand hourly at work Stop eating when I'm full

@Bex953172 You got this!!! :) @mytime6630 Hang in there. When you're sick it's always the worst, especially if you're not eating/drinking as much and your body retains everything. Rest as much as you can and be kind to yourself. <3
