Yes, I love challenges! This time next week, I will be starting summer vacation. I am not teaching summer school for the first time in 13 years. So no excuses! You are right, the swim suit is a necessity for you. Swimming is such a great exercise . And 50% off?

Well, while I'm not going to make it this month since I've not been posting daily (yet!), I am going to keep trying just to see what I can earn. My goal today was just to work on reframing my negative thoughts into positive ones. I did catch myself a few times so I'm giving myself a point. 120/177

HLaR79, hope this means you are not in as much pain...good for you! And to respond to an earlier post, it was judgmental. They all eat basically what they want; there are chips, cookies, baked goods, etc in the break room. They don't understand what it is like to have circumstances like we do. So me eating a whole bag of…

Earned another 5 points today so now it's 112/177

I am tired of salad for lunch at work so brought a bag of Steamfresh green beans and my 4oz citrus mango chicken. While my coworkers May have laughed, I really liked it as another option. Not sure why I hadn't thought of it before. Any other ideas for work lunches?

So sorry you are still experiencing so much pain. It's more than the physical feeling, it wears at us emotionally and mentally too. Rough day for me, only met 4 of the goals but I did much better with my food choices and I am prepared for Thursday and Friday. 107/177

Italian_Buju, you should get double points for #8 on May 15! One of my least favorite things to do! May 16 points 7 yes 2 no 103/177 I'm struggling with my food choices right now. I do so much better when I plan ahead and prepackage items. I need to make time to do this.

May 14 points = 7 87/177 May 15 (repeated 14th) 9 out of 9 96/177 May 16 (repeat 14th goals)

HLaR79, so glad it wasn't a heart attack but sad you are in pain. Hopefully they can figure out a treatment to resolve this quickly. Happy Mother's Day to all who are moms or had an awesome mom as I do.

It's so nice to see some familiar faces/names! Hi, everyone! I haven't been on here for close to a year. I injured my knee and started gaining weight and became discouraged. I have been working on getting back on track for over 3 months with some loss and then regaining, etc. My Curves coach urged me to think about what…

I like this challenge! Not that I'm earning a lot of points yet but I feel motivated!

After a very long absence, I set a goal to use MFP again. I'm guessing this is an open challenge so I am going to join in. I'm back to my starting weight again and my goal is to lose a total of 177 lbs. so I am going to challenge myself to earn 177 points. My reward will be a spa gift card! 1. Curves workout (yes) 2. Walk…

I know that this was tough for me too. I found that it helped to prepackage snacks, have fresh fruits and vegetables around, and tell people " I'll have some later" helped me feel more in control when at family gatherings. Now, my family just expects me to bring my stuff and to have some Ziploc bags and containers for…

Bevkidd, while recuperating from several injuries, the physical therapist recommended the Sit and Be Fit series or Ann Smith's Fitness for Seniors. If I wanted to increase the intensity, I used hand weights and exercise bands. It was a great way to be more active despite the ankle and knee injuries. I was able to get them…

Hi, been busy this month so not been checking in here but I have logged my food, water, and exercise all summer which was a goal I set earlier this summer. I agree it is helpful to weigh my food rather than just measure it. I also know if I don't eat enough, I stop losing. It's like my body thinks it's about to go into a…

So hard to believe the summer is 1/2 over! The heat made it really tough to motivate me to workout this week but I did great with logging daily, drinking lots of fruit infused water, and time spent on emotional eating reflection. Bevkidd, I'm a frequent weigher too; I just like to have a visual to keep me realistic about…

I've been sick so not as consistent with goals. I have logged daily and worked on emotional eating triggers which is feeling like an insurmountable obstacle. On the fun side, I have plans to go on an adventure with my niece and nephews which usually means lots of being active.

Grrr...I just lost my whole post just as I was finishing it. Well, I have been logging daily, getting 30 minutes exercise and work on emotional eating daily, but removing wheat flour, potatoes, rice etc from my diet has been more difficult. Summer vacation is better when you are a grown up. I appreciate it so much more…

10 days and counting!

Ouch, sunburn isn't fun at all.Hope it is better by time you go on vacation. Bevkidd1, 4 days in a row is a good start on your goal. I have been saying the same thing (I'm tired of being tired). Glad to see you are motivated! I have been completing my goals every day but it still feels like I am forcing myself so I can't…

3 days of meeting my goals :)

First day of summer vacation today! No school til August! I packed up my classroom yesterday and said goodbye to coworkers who won't be returning in the fall. Now I am focusing on me for the next two months. A friend and I are getting together to do vision boards today which will include my summer goals. Here they are: 1)…

Carimiller, that's awesome! Hope your surgery goes well.
