I'm afraid I'm no help, but I wanted to comment so I could perhaps find my way back here later. I'm off to purchase my pedometer today!!! Good luck, everyone. :flowerforyou:

Please count me in on this challenge! This is a goal that I had set for myself anyway and it's always nice to have company. Now, I just need to get my pedometer...! ;)

Hi Tess! I love and admire your spirit! Congratulations on your weight loss successes — Wow! You are surely an inspiration!!! :heart:

Hi ladies and Happy New Year! Today was my first day and it went very well. I hope I'm not too late to join your motivation and support group for January. I'm 55 and tired of yo-yo dieting. My journey to a thinner, healthier, more exuberant me has begun. I will take all the support and encouragement I can get! Right now…

I'm always just a second or two too late! lol Make that a lovely smile! :)

Oops! Some others got in ahead of me... Let's see, for you I'd say fresh seafood.

lumberjack pancakes ;)

Hi Marti! It's a miracle you survived a collision with a semi and you survived for a reason — of that I feel certain. Sometimes the road before us can seem insurmountable and that's why you take it one moment at a time. Put one foot in front of the other. You've already begun your journey now it's just a matter of staying…

Loves life!

Please include me for the challenge — sounds like a wonderful way to stay motivated! Thank you. :flowerforyou:

Absolutely count me in! I'm coming back with a vengeance! I've set goals (long & short-term) and hoping to pick up some people along the way to help with encouragement (giving & getting). Please add me as a friend and together we'll get there!!!

Congratulations to both of you on your weight loss successes!!! :flowerforyou:

Returning after several months away. Not going to beat myself up about the 25+ weight gain. This is a new beginning for many of us and I'm ready this time for some permanent changes!!! Please feel free to add me as a buddy as we make our weigh down to our goals.

I have so many dream destinations, but I'll begin with Paris, France. I am part French and I fell in love with Paris when I visited Las Vegas. I was in awe of the architecture and long to go there one day to see the real Paris and the beauty of the buildings and their surroundings. I'd love to see the Eiffel Tower, The…

This sounds like a great idea and I'd love to join the group as well. Please count me in! :flowerforyou:

Congratulations to all those with successes this week! :flowerforyou: Remember, change won't happen overnight, but if we keep at it we'll get there. For those struggling... perhaps you can track what you're eating to get a clear picture, or take those measurements (sometimes what the scale doesn't show, the tape measure…

Absotively Posilutely Fantabulous!!! What an inspiration you are. Thank you for sharing! :drinker:

Hi Bellamay! I'm brand new to the group as well! Like you, I am also very tired of carrying around this excess weight and the ups and downs I've experienced in the past. I'm 54 and want to lose this excess baggage once and for all. I just need to stick with it and stop quitting. Also like you, I've had some problems with…

You're not alone... However, I'm tired of looking back and beating myself up over those past failures. Today's a new day — reach out and grab it and give it all you've got. If you fall from time to time, as you very possibly may, get back up and keep going. After all, what's the alternative? I've seen a few good quotes…

I'm new — just joined MFP yesterday and thought I'd join this group as well. Sorry to hear it doesn't seem to be all that active, but perhaps we could get it going again! Looking for others to connect with, spur on, trade the ups & downs of our common journeys. Hope to see you around! Congrats, Angel, and your weight loss…

Hi everyone! I'm a tad bit late, but I just joined yesterday so I figure better late than never!!!

Sounds like you're on a roll! Congrats to you on your successes thus far. Keep up the great work!

Welcome to MFP! I'm new as well — my first day was yesterday. Would love some friends as well as I know how important it is to have that extra support.

Very sorry to hear about the loss of your mum. I've lost both my parents and it's been many years now, but I still feel their loss very much. It sounds like you're ready to make those changes necessary to get to your goal and follow through on the promise you made to your mum. I'm new to MFP and would welcome your…

I'm brand new (day 2) to MFP and would love to be a friend and additional support for anyone interested! :)
