I have moved 5 miles so far this month, but I don't know how to move my ticker. Help is appreciated!

Goals! I set a 90 day goal in January and reached it. I have now set a goal for April 24 and I will reach that one! Keep setting (achievable) goals for yourself and then remember to reward yourself when you meet them. Rewards don't have to be big - just important to you. I just keep telling myself: It took me 48 years to…

I'd like to join please!

Had my DL scanned the other day while I was picking my son up from school - boy do I look different! The picture was taken about nine years ago and there is such a difference in the face it's unbelievable! There is a weight on the license, but it was incorrect when I got the license and it's too high now!

Welcome! I'm from the Stafford area and I joined last month. Been doing great with all the help and support on this site. Feel free to friend me.

Welcome Heather! Started the year with an idea of losing 100 pounds or more. After three months I am down 25 and loving this site! Lots of help and motivation. I would love to be able to help others as they have helped me...feel free to friend me.

This past week I met a personal goal of losing 25 pounds so far this year. I felt like celebrating! Went to my bible study class and told the whole class. It may have seemed kind of silly, but they were very supportive and now they will keep me accountable. The more people I tell, the more they keep me motivated to keep…

All those excuses seemed pretty good to me. Now that I'm going to the gym I don't remember why i waited. I love going to the gym now and I miss it when I take a day off. I used to hate the thought of exercise and the fact it would make me sweat - EWWW! Now I know I need to get that sweat rolling to make a difference - like…

You can usually order a pizza 1/2 and 1/2. Let his half be cheese and your half be veggie.

You met your goal - that is definitely a victory!! Sounds like you may just want to reevaluate your goal and set a new one. Don't downplay the victory you have accomplished. You set a goal and you reached it - that's GREAT! What's next??

That's great for you! Aren't those little victories great? Keep at it. Since I started going to the gym and eating better I miss the gym if I don't go for a day. Never used to feel that way before!

Great work! Super attitude as well!

Congrats on your one week anniversary! Just joined last month and I'm lovin' it! All the help, support and motivation is great. Welcome and good luck on your journey!

ME TOO!

Your goal is still 1270. Every time you list an exercise the site adds those calories to your diary. Some people "eat" their exercise calories and some people don't. You should at least eat your 1270 calories daily and drink plenty of water. Everyone is different and everyone has a different opinion on eating those…

Welcome! Hope you find the site full of support and motivation! Feel free to friend me.

Welcome! We are all trying to lose weight, get in better shape and help each other out along the way. Done the diet programs myself and they don't work-the first three letters in the word diet should be enough to scare anyone! Gotta make a lifestyle change and be committed to it. Yes, we all slip now and then and that's…

Welcome Rich! Amazing weight loss already! Don't know that I have a lot of advice, but I'm here to help support you in any way that I can.

Same thing happened to me last month. Stuck at the same weight for over four weeks. I was working out 5-7 days a week and eating within my calorie limits. I know part of it was building muscle and losing fat, but I was getting frustrated with my scale not moving. Have patience and keep doing what you know is right and that…

It's the 22nd of March, but count me in! We start our vacation on Easter Sunday and I would LOVE to lose 10 pounds between now and then. CW 245.4 according to my scale this morning.

You will find all kinds of support on this site. Just friend some people and they will help you on your journey. Mom of five - not so young anymore, but getting in shape! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Welcome! I'm also in the 40+ club and working on losing weight and getting in shape. I've lost over 20 pounds so far this year and still have a way to go, but there is a lot of encouragement on this site and it really helps. Friend me if you would like. Best of luck to you and you will be reaching those goals before you…

Face first, measurements showed hips too.

Gotta celebrate all the little victories we can! Someone brought doughnuts into my office the other day and I did NOT eat any - that's a victory too!

Done the weight loss, weight game a number of times. Always seem to gain more than I lost. This time I AM gonna keep it off! Gotta change more than just the food, gotta change the attitude!

Does this mean the muscle cell gets bigger when you start using it?

Don't give up! I stalled for over 4 weeks until I finally lost a pound. It could be that you are gaining muscle and losing fat - that was my issue. Keep working your food plan and exercise and you will see changes. Try checking your measurements to see if you've lost inches instead of pounds. Are you noticing a change in…

I made one dinner, if they don't like it or want it then they can fix something else for themselves. Of course, my kids are 9, 14 and 26 - at least the ones that are still at home!
