Thank you so much for the video, nladopoulos!! I have been having major foot issues with toe surgeries for MONTHS and can't go out walking, which is my preferred form of exercise. This is going to be a godsend... can you tell YouTube isn't my first go-to to find stuff yet? ;)

Congratulations on your amazing progress!!!!!

iTim__ (my former boss). He's the one who told me this site existed! :smile:

Couldn't agree more!!!!!

Name/ real name: cckeimig/Christina Goal weight on May 31st : 127 5/01: 137.6 5/07: 137.2 5/14: 136.2 5/21: 134.8 5/28: 135.8 5/31: 135.0 (hate zig-zagging so much from one day to the next! I need to get enough water daily) Well, this arm injury cut me out of exercise mode three weeks ago, so I suspect it has a lot to do…

What about munching on things like dried fruit and nuts mixes? They are yummy and super good for you, and it's pretty easy to add HEALTHY calories with things like almonds and pistachios and....yeah, I'm off to grab some right now! :wink:

Weighed in this morning (5/18) and I was at 134.2, so I re-lost that extra pound the gut-bomb of a Sunday-night dinner added on, so I'm 70% of the way there! :smile: Hope my shoulder heals enough to let me exercise again soon, because this week has been AWFUL in that department!

Name/ real name: cckeimig/Christina Goal weight on May 31st : 127 (changing to 132 to be more realistic and safe) 5/01: 137.6 5/07: 137.2 5/14: 5/21: 5/28: 5/31: Looks like I have some work to do to get back into the swing of losing weight. So yeah, ten pounds in a month when it's the last ten I need to lose is probably…

Said I was 'in' yesterday and logged my SW this morning but how do I know if I'm even on the list? Will you be contacting us or should we just go for it?

Fantastic progress!!!

I know we see people lose a ton of weight on shows like "The Biggest Loser," but honestly, 13 pounds is a LOT to lose in one month and rather than bemoaning the fact that you didn't lose more, you should be proud of your progress. Try to get the full 8 glasses of water in as often as you possibly can. You definitely need…

OK, so here's my check-in for 5/1: Name/ real name: cckeimig/Christina Goal weight on May 31st : 127 (yesterday I said 128, but I am putting my overall goal back in, so 127) 5/01: 137.6 5/07: 5/14: 5/21: 5/28: 5/31:

If it's not full, I'd like to join the group. I backslid a bit and want to get back down to my goal, so accountability is a good thing. Name/ real name: cckeimig/Christina Goal weight on May 31st : 128 5/01: 5/07: 5/14: 5/21: 5/28: 5/31:

-35 C = -31 F -40 C = -40 F So getting down to 0 C (32F) last week and complaining about it isn't likely to get me much sympathy, I guess, eh? :wink:

Welcome aboard and best of luck! This is a fantastic site!

Also add extra fiber to your daily intake and drink the water we're supposed to get. :glasses:

Great job! :-)

A-MEN! I just got going once more after having backslid about 7 lbs over the past few months. Excuses, excuses, but I quit even going for a short walk every day. WAAAAY too easy to fall back into the slothful habits I used to have. I've been working to get back on track for the past several days, so this post is just right…

Congrats! The thing about this site is that it's a lifestyle change as compared to a diet, so it kind of changes how you think about things--at least that's what it's done for me!

I recommend eating most of them, but also make SURE you're drinking the water. That, specifically, is a large part of what made me stumble recently (in my so-called maintenance phase) and go back to having to re-drop those last 5-7 lbs. :sad:

I'll bet they can! Just make sure you let them know with plenty of time. :happy:

I have to agree that stalker is definitely the worst--my sister lost her best friend to one of those (got himself on "America's Most Wanted", in fact! And within 30 minutes of it airing in CA he was arrested!), so really, no contest. Sorry, Carl, I know you meant this as a fun thread, but unfortunately sometimes stuff just…

Oops! I meant nearly two years later, not one.

I was at work at the university when someone came out from the classroom right by my office and asked what I thought about the attacks on the WTC in NYC. I don't even remember teaching any classes that day--I think it was just coordination duties. Can't remember. I was like, "What? That's no joking matter." I was so pissed…

Fantastic news! Congrats!

You are going to be shocked, Tanya, at the huge change just dropping the Dr. P and drinking the water makes! Good luck!!!

You totally rock, iTim, and are an amazing inspiration. Thanks again (for the millionth time, but I'll keep saying it!) for getting me to start using mfp and getting ME off the BP meds as well! :drinker:

Welcome aboard! This is such a great place! :smile:
