Do they want to exercise? It is hard to get someone to do it if they don't want to.

I get a sweet tooth bad after lunch and dinner. After lunch I allow myself to have 1 or 2 butterscotch hard candies. They are pretty sweet so they work and only have 20 calories per piece. In the evening I have something like a skinny cow ice cream bar or some cereal. The Chocolate Almond Special K cereal is yummy. A…

Some people use MFP to maintain or even gain weight. Not everyone uses it for weight loss. :)

I have lost an elephants heart!!

The grade school kids, probably because I am a mom and a Grandma. Anytime I hear of something tragic happening to a child it seems so much more tragic than if it was an adult.

I am prepared to eat a little bit of everything. I will have samples of desserts and I am going to drink beer. I will log the best that I can. I will probably go way over my calories but that is OK. I might gain a pound and that is OK too. It is Thanksgiving and I am going to enjoy it. :)

So, do you eat the same thing every day???? I am going to stick with what I have been doing. :)

Why?????? LOL. I love my coffee! Granted, I only drink it in the morning. I have 2 large mugs (14 oz) every day. I don't think I could live without it. Haha. Dropping the monster's is a good idea. Good luck to you!

Fantastic!!! Congrats to you! You look amazing.

Usually just panties, but if I feel a little chilly I will put on a t-shirt or a light pair of PJ's. I tend to get very, very warm when I sleep so if I do wear something when I go to bed it usually does not last the whole night. My hubby says I am the best bed warmer and who needs an electric blanket when they have me. :)

Yeah, count everything.

My strategy this year is, I am not handing out any candy! Been kind of down, missing my grand-kids and hating that they are all so far away and seeing the other kids makes me sad. I am turning off the porch light and all the lights in the house and hiding out.

Wow, you look amazing!!!! Thanks for the pics!

Thanks! I don't like to wear jeans too tight, these are perfect. Very comfy.

Thank you everyone! I fixed the picture. I might try the 8's after a few more pounds! Haha. I was so shocked that the size 10 fit. I can't believe that 8 might. I have started drying my size 12 jeans in the dryer so that I can keep wearing them. Thanks again. This helps me re-energize my motivation.

I will try that. Thanks!

Thanks! I tried to share a picture but it is too wide. LOL

Starbucks, venti americano black with pumpkin spice syrup.

I don't count the sugar free gum that I chew or the occasional butterscotch hard candy (maybe 1 every other day). I do go ahead and count my coffee calories even though I drink my coffee black and there are hardly any calories. Otherwise I count everything.

I can't believe that I actually watched that. Can she be serious? Maybe she is just playing the dumb card?

Hi, I am 45, married for 10 years but together for almost 21 with 6 grown kids ages 32-19 (yes, the 2 oldest are step-children) I also have 5 grand-kids (none from the step-kids LOL). I have been at this since January and have lost 38 pounds, Feel free to add me. :)

Bump. I want to read this again later. :)

I can relate. I usually say "Thank you, I still have a long way to go". But sometimes these compliments can get awkward. There is a lady where I work that tells me frequently "you are really looking good" I say "thank you" and she says "really, I can really tell. You are really looking good". She says this on the average…

I hate them too! I get them from time to time. They are awful. ICK. I have no solution but I agree with you on how terrible they are.

Thank you! LOL

What is HH? I drink on occasion and usually log the calories. I have some days where I give myself a break and don't count them. I usually gain a pound or so when I do this but then it is back off within a couple days. I am going to be doing this for the long term so I have to be flexible. :)

Oh, and I started in January. :)

I am also 13 away from my original goal of 50 pounds. I hadn't set any time frame though. Now, I would like to lose the 13 by the end of the year.

They are sexy as hell! Not just any motorcycle for me. It has to be a Harley or an Indian or something custom. I can't say what it is but I have always loved them, ever since I was a kid. I remember having a crush on a biker that used to ride by my house on his red Harley when I was like 12. I ended up marrying his son…
