I am excited to have found this group. I do low carb but also drink occasionally. My goals are to log in everything and keep under 50 carbs (I know most of you do a lot less than that). I am hoping to find great recipes here as well.

I've been away from this group and My Fitness Pal for a long, long time. It's obvious I can't do this alone, so here I am. Might take a bit for me to remember everything but baby steps!

That I actually like food that is good for me (most times) and that controlling what I eat isn't as hard as I thought. And that being active alone will not help me get to my goal. I also agree with someone earlier that I will never be a thin person, but that as long as I am healthier I should be happy.

Virginia Beach here. Getting ready for a trip to Australia!

It was horrifying. But here's to hoping I win!!

Starting weight: 216 Goal weight: 180 Current weight: 216 Total weight lost: This week's successes: Weighed in for my office's weight loss challenge. It can't get any worse than that. This week's challenges:

I know where you are coming from. Been there, done that. Starting again. I have to agree with weighing your food. My biggest problem is "guessing" portions. The scale is the most inexpensive thing about dieting. I'm getting it back out when I get home. Good luck. Keep walking and checking your portions!!! You can do it!

I just ate a bag of frozen broccoli with Tuscany seasoning and it was great and filling!

I want to join!

So good to see everyone here. I have been gone about a year or so, but it seems like everyone is doing pretty good.

I thought I wanted FitBit friends, but I can't even figure out how to add my profile.

It's my goal too!

HI! Way over 40 here (56). I have about 40 to lose although I don't know if that is a realistic goal for me. But I will keep working on it.Its more of a lifestyle change for me so as long as I keep running and eating pretty well I will be happy. Feel free to friend me. One can never have too many friends. Especially ones…

I had to save this picture. It will motivate me for sure.

I know how you feel! I am 8 pounds from One-derland and I can't wait!

Sounds interesting. What do you mix it with?

I'm in! Have more than that to lose, but it's enough to keep me motivated!

Good Luck! I know how it is to stop and start again. We need to keep going!

April 10 weight - 208.5 not a great week.

I have lost 6 pounds so I am pretty happy. I don't even remember what my goal was but I will be thrilled with a total of 8 pounds. Still have a long way to go, but this helped.

CW 4/3 209

Thanks Ebony!!!

I am kind of scared to try it at my gym. I'm not super coordinated.

217 Gained two pounds. Been running quite a bit (Did the Shamrock 8K Saturday), but St Patrick's Day Weekend is a be deal around my house. Too much food and beer. Here's to a better week next week!

CW - 215 4-Week Goal 209 And final weigh-in is on my Birthday!!

This might be just what need to get back at it again!

Happy New Year! Here's to starting again. I wasn't eating healthy the last half of the year, but I joined a Fitness Center the end of October. I was going at least three times a week until my husband broke both ankles on Thanksgiving. Since then I haven't worked out and I think I have lived on chocolate and caffene. I feel…

Back to add my goals for this month. Small this month due to taking care of my husband until his casts come off later this month. 1 - Limit sweets - I am a stress eater and the sweets have been bountiful for the last 6 weeks. 2 - Do more cross stitch - I eat less when my hands are busy 3 - Get my "Exercise" Room more…

Happy New Years Everyone! I visited this board months ago and since have been terrible. I hope to be back regularly because these women are so motivational! Thanks Barbi for keeping this going!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am just starting to get serious about this again and you have helped motivate me. Good luck in the future!
