Hello everyone...sounds like progress is in the works! SingRunTing ...I like your plan! I have been vacillating between 127 and 129 for WEEKS. I am great with diet and daily exercise (fitbit) walking/cycling but am unable to knock down the last 5-7 lbs. Out of frustration (and also a need to offset a terrible daily…

Snowed in today but using the time to clean and exercise. Stayed w/c calories this week, but no significant loss. Up and down by 1/2 lb...will try to increase liquids and strength. Have been on a new RA medication, starting to feel some side effects. Makes me feel kinda blah :-( Hopefully the cost/benefit thing will work…

It's been a good week! Under calories and increase in exercise and water knocked down 2 lbs. Hope to keep momentum going...off to the gym to meet my trainer. Much needed guidance after dual arm surgeries. Slow but sure...getting stronger. Goals today: -long walk w/dogs; gym for weight training; cardio at home -increase…

I have been doing battle with a chest cold. Still walking 1/2 hr. at lunch and eating well. Have been tempted by almonds and walnuts lately. Am adding a few back into the program..will do my best to use restraint. Most vulnerable time to snack is when I'm sick. Goals for today: 1. stay within calories 2. 11- 12k steps 3.…

Thanks Balancedwalker...I have bombed in the current spreadsheet. I was sidelined with a health issue and I got off track. I am looking forward to connecting with this wonderful group again, as sharing the journey with others provides the best motivation. Have joined the next Summer Sequel-April 1, with renewed hope that I…

Can you please edit -my Short Term Goal is now 0...I would like it to read 132...I thought I entered this...

I am up about 3lbs. as well...going to get self back on track...because I really do care. Thanks to all of you for your strength and inspiration.

Have not had a good stretch...gained 2 lbs. feel like failure is mine...sometimes I think I should give up up on this. I eat extremely well-no junk food EVER. My worst vice is walnuts and craisins on salad, (but in quantity)! Healthy choices are easier as I am a celiac. But I probably don't get as much exercise as I should…

:)) the quit sugar recipe really worked for me. Can you provide any link or more info? I am consuming large amounts of Splenda-knowing it is hazardous. Any help would be appreciated!

I have been way off track. Not sure why my motivation is flagging these last few days. After busting my daily calories for 2 days, I felt worse spiritually and physically. That alone will help me to get back in control...it's simply less painful to be good.
-
I'm bummed...motivation beginning to fade. Had dinner party with friends and am am sure I went way over calories. Going to re-group today and get back on track. So below40% tho'...

NO TREATS, but slow going for me...I have been tracking diligently...speed walking 30 min./day...fitbit etc. yet my weight loss is minimal. Feeling a bit frustrated, but still keeping end goal in mind. I am recovering from arm/hand surgeries-upper bod very weak. Will try to up the ante on elliptical to melt some additional…

YAHOO! THANKS!

Feeling frustrated. Think that I need to up my exercise....have been carefully logging, but weight hasn't moved this week. I usually walk 1/2 hr. rapid pace daily plus fitbit activity. I am at 21.5% of goal and need to do something different to increase loss. Trying to stay positive...

I entered my weight early....busy traveling tomorrow. Am wondering why the percentage of short term goal achieved to date didn't change with an increase in weight loss. Any ideas

You have inspired me! I walked 3 miles yesterday and do at least 30mins. fast walk/day at work. Have been keeping within calorie limit and tracking steps (12,000/day) with Fitbit. Finally seeing slow progress. Need to step up my work outs but am recovering from hand/arm surgery. Moderation is key. Thanks to all of you...I…

The most important lesson I re-visited this week is to believe in yourself and your goals-anything is possible. Keep reminding self why you want to lose weight...and where you want to be. This, along with the support from other members helped me re-gain perspective this week. My plan for the next 10 is to incorporate more…
