I know what your talking about. Stress eating has sure helped me put on the pounds. Didn't have much activity yesterday....watching football...did fairly well reseating the snacks and stuck mostly to water. It's making a difference. The days I overdo I don't beat myself up, just start the new day with better resolve. We…

Ok stayed focused just have not been checking in. At least get a short walk in if not a workout on the ellipticalelliptical everyday....miss being able to run but the ortho told me no more or the knee replacements will be sooner rather than later. I have cut down some on the carbs but I too must get rid of the Hershey…

Hello again. I'm back.....totally lost focus...gained all the weight back, plus but enough if that. Got the goal back in focus....screw menopause going to lose this weight with your help!

Yes I know the calorie burn seem to be inflated so I always make adjustments. Been trying to eat better and less, have thrown in more exercise too...no weight loss lately...very frustrating!

My weakness is carbs...give me a loaf of warm french bread. Although I do love fries too..it didn't used to matter when I was young..now I think about how long I'll have to be on the elliptical to burn the calories back off.

Yes, I hope the others are just busy too. I thought maybe the 50's would be easier and i'd have more time for myself. But i'm still working and now there are grandkids and aging parents (that live 5 hours away). Wow you really have had a rough patch. Hope your Dad is on the road to recovery. I know it is challenging to be…

Sorry, can't believe it's been a month since I checked in here....looks like we might be the only two checking in. Wow, glad your scan results were so terrific. Still have not tried the Udo oil but plan to do so. So glad you are at your goal. Mine was 135 but at this point that might be unrealistic going to shoot for 145…

Hello! Yes been busy and had a couple of health issues....glad someone is still here. Thanks for the tip on the hot flashes, will have to check it out. Need to get back to regular exercise: does chasing grandkids count?

So far so good for this month, I'm going good but could do better.

Good morning ladies! Well my good exercise intentions disappeared yesterday when I fell asleep on the couch so I'm getting on the elliptical for at least a few minutes this morning. Have a great day.

Hi Everyone, Glad to see you're still here. I've been slacking for the last 5 months and have the weight back to prove it. Here's to committing to a healthier lifestyle for the new year.

Hi guys, I'm still here...have been logging my food, but doing virtually no exercise. Its hot and I don't feel like doing anything when I get home. Trying to get re-motivated. Hope everyone else is doing well.

So glad I read the posts this morning...glad to know I'm not the only one struggling. Have been logging everything but just eating whatever and my weight is going back up...stressed, not exercising and baking here in Calif. Birthday is on Friday so will recommit to eating better and exercising more. Thanks for all the…

Good Morning everyone, happy new month! Hope to burn up some calories today but will have to exercise inside after work so wish me well. Don't think I'll get my afternoon walk in since it is supposed to be about 104. Looking forward to doing well this month, thanks for all the great info, advice, encouragement and success…

Busy this weekend with work, going to the dump, etc. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Sounds like a lot of us are so busy that we are just hanging in there! I've been checking the posts but have only been just logging mostly, busy with work, children and grandchildren I even missed a day logging so have started over on day one. Glad to see everyone is doing well. josparkle your cakes and cookies sound so…

Sorry I dropped out for awhile just been busy and only had time for logging. Back to day two since I got home after midnight the other night and logged in late, oh well. Hope everyone has a great week. I've been struggling need to get back on track.

Yeah I don't know how many times I have eaten something I thought wouldn't be too high calorie and nearly fainted when I checked and found out how many calories it was. Yikes! Have not been eating too carefully the last few days the only saving grace is that I have been working on weedeating 5 acres so I've been burning up…

Too many carbs for me today, but I'll burn them off tomorrow. I'm doing some weed eating again. Better get to bed, everyone have a great weekend!

Sorry I dropped out for afew days. Monday helped my son do a weedeating job and after 4 hours when I woke up on Tues I could barely move, atleast I burned alot of calories. Nothing too exciting on Tues. work, helped a friend move, carpet cleaned the house and dropped into bed. Today will be more exciting Ladies Guild year…

Love to see all the posts about resisting temptation, clean eating and weight loss! My challenge this morning was getting out of bed, weedeated for 4 hours yesterday and all my muscles are sore! The up side is I burned over 1000 calories!!!!!!. Have a terrific day everyone.

Welcome! I'm a CA girl myself. Trying to clean up my eating habits and exercise again some more myself. I've got a bum shoulder and knees that will need a replacement one of these days but still keep moving. This is a fun group that helps keep you motivated. Good luck with your move.

So so day today, need to have a better day tomorrow.

Well I wasn't going to exercise tonite but was barely under calorie goal when the mini candy bar started calling my name. Instead of eating my treat I got on the elliptical and worked out for 20 minutes. Hope the scale will reward my amazing will power on Monday. Have a great weekend everyone.

Great job everyone! Today's challenge: Did the right thing when my treat (mini candy bar) called I hopped on the elliptical and worked out for 20 minutes. Also drank plenty of water!

Looks like everyone had a busy day! Well here in beautiful Central Calif it was 96 degrees but I decided to bite the bullet and do my lunch walk anyway since I didn't think I'd exercise after work. Glad I did because of course after work I didn't get around to it. One of these days I'll get to bed early and do an early…

Conquered today: Green Smoothie, actually it was pretty good. If you want to try: Apple Kale Smoothie 3/4 cup chopped kale, ribs and thick stems removed 1 small stalk celery, chopped 1/2 banana 1/2 cup apple juice 1/2 cup ice 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Thanks ReneaJae for reminding me how important my walk is, if it is…

Have a wonderful day! Looking to get more exercise today! Have not been walking at lunch since its 89+, wish it would cool down. I have a loss of motivation to exercise after work but will push myself I've been enjoying watching the scale creep down. Everyone seems to be doing great!

Yes, got plenty of sleep last night, no hot flashes. Checking in late tonite, had a pretty good day, not enough exercise but maybe I'll get a little more in before the night is over. Hope you all had a terrific day!

Good luck with the knee, I had to have surgery to clean up torn cartilage and bone spurs and have been instructed to not run anymore, my elliptical is my new friend but I sure miss running. It's great to hear all the successes and struggles...sure helps to keep me on track. Think I'll be suffering from sleep deprivation…
