Me: 0 Binge: 1 Stopping the Binge! I started back with MFP yesterday and had a binge night. So I am off to a slow start but that is ok - my binge was not 2000 calories as ususal. I am not making excuses, I take full responsiblility. I am happy I was able to stop the binge during the binge when I only consumbed about 500…

well I am moving through year two and even more weight is back. I started (again) yesterday and feel that "nothing beats a failure but a try" That's my motto this year=

I have not tried either of those but I do use some items from GNC. I believe you have to make decisions about the 'pills' for yourself, honestly. I have a friend who took diet pills she got from her doctor and she lost over 100 lbs with diet and exercise included. I take the, what claims to be, all natural appetite…

I'm in a similar situation. Set a friend request. Just keep trying... That's what I believe.

I am back as well. Starting fresh today. Gained my 40 lbs back. We can do this!

I need to drop a ton of weight - here we go!

still smiling and moving forward - some how I am up 3lbs but I am not going to stress because I know things will balance out.

Hi Mary - Welcome to the group Good luck on your new program. I hear it works well. Keep us posted!

Way to Go!! I had thought of having the surgery myself but my husband is scared. My sister had it done with amazing success. Although he has always said if I put for an honest effort and nothing happens then he will agree (he also suggested the lap band). Well in all honesty I have not put forth an honest effort for longer…

Half way through break and I have not completely done what I set out to do. I did go to the gym and I ate a bunch of crap so I am guessing I balanced out. HAHA Monday is here and I am kick starting with a meal plan already in place. How are you doing?

I understand and can relate. Please feel free to add me to your support group. I believe we all need support.:happy:

I am just struggling period. I have reset all my goals and erased all my 'lbs lost' so I could stop seeing failure in my face each time I logged on. I agree with you Miranda - today is a positive day and I am there with you. I went to the gym and found I gained 7 lbs. Well I stared at the number and said 'at least it is…

I know...I know I am such a looser and not the weight loss kind either. I feel as though the group just kind of fizzeled and with my overwhelming schedule (new job) I have not even been on in forever! I hope you are well and I would love to get back into it!

I am here - August was a bust. I was hired for a teaching position and things just exploded crazy from there! I am hoping to be back on track with eating tomorrow as the 'community'' luncheons will be over. I tried to participate as much as I could by making healthy choices. I plan on hitting the gym tomorrow to see the…

I am so excited about your loss to date! I hope to be saying the same thing one day. You are amazing!! From what I understand my school currently has no PTA so I do not think a buffet will be a problem (I hope). I can avoid donuts and pastry no biggie for me. I know some of the women I did student teaching with are doing…

Nice to meet all of you! Well I already told you I am a stress eater and a first year teacher...I started this group because I could not even make it through 3 days of orientation without falling off the wagon. I go back to school on Monday, Aug 26 to begin setting up my classroom. I am going to plan and pack (thanks) and…

So proud of everyone for their accomplishments so far this month!

Have not been faithful this month - downer - but I am going to work my butt of next week to be back to 'where I was' so that is my goal back to 266!

Never too late to start = ) basically all you have to do is post your beginning weight and weigh in weekly. Set your own monthly goal and we just encourage one another from there. Looking forward in helping you meet your goal! Sandi

You have joined the right group - we are motivating and like to encourage. Please feel free to add me as a friend. I still have a long way to go to hit my goal too.

welcome - :) You can do whatever you put your mind to!

You did awesome!! Congratulations on finishing college! You rocked this month with two extremely good accomplishments. Sometimes we set weight goals and life gets in the way - I had 168 and was off by 2 but knowing I am not 285 when July started makes me happy. You lost 7 LBS in a month - not everyone was that lucky! ; I…

add me.

Owning it! July 1 - 285 lbs July 8 - 280.2 lbs...goal is to drop 3+lbs and stay within caloric intake July 15 - 273.8 July 22 - 274.2 July 31 - 270 Looking forward to 10 lbs in August.

So my pantry is a mess! That's right - while I am on this journey I still have candy, chips, and all that yummy stuff hanging around. Why? Well I have a husband and 2 kids. If I did not stock the stuff my husband would go buy it himself and it would be worse than the amount I limit in the house. I do have low calories…

I'm 5' 11" here and have a bit (lol a lot) to lose!

The latest episode was very inspiring. I cannot believe the 'contestant' broke 3 records in the year. Recently, I downloaded Powell's new book but I have not read it yet. Anxiously waiting to see what it says though.

I don't like 'reality tv' for the most part but for some reason I am hooked to these shows like a maniac. Must be my obsession...lol. I really like Jillian Michaels and have purchased some of her DVD's to do at home when I cannot hit the gym. I actually have her 3 month program I did last summer and did really well on ...…
