Skittles I am with you I started MFP a year ago. I lost over 40 pounds. Then I fell off and I gained it back plus 10 pounds all in a year. I have been back on for 2 weeks. One thing I am doing is posting on my page every morning and evening. In the morning I set daily goals and at night I state what goals I hit and the…

My goal this week is to go to the gym 5 days this week before I go to work. I also want to work on my calorie intake this week. Last week I went over several days.

I have 30 pounds to be under the 300. I was under 300 about 6 months ago, but ran out of my thyroid medicine and gain all the weight I had lost plus more. I am now back on my medicine and back to working out.

I can go up a flight of stairs and not be totally out of breath this week.

I have a vivofit with the heart monitor. It tracks my sleep also. I've had mine for almost 2 weeks. I love mine too. I like the idea of the red line reminding me to move. My kids even pay attention. They will let me know if I have a red line if I haven't noticed it. Another thing I like they have stepping competition. Not…

My goals this week is: 1. Drink my 32 oz. of water 2. Get my daily steps in 3. Get to the gym at least 4 days 4. Log everyday 5. Work on not feeling guilty my husband has to work a 2nd job (He only works 40 hours at his first job). I work 50 hours at my job and I take care of the house and kids at night. Hope everyone…

Kame you can see the different. You are looking good. I do know how you feel. Our minds are our worst enemy. I also so wish this weight would come off over night. It took me 23 years to put on over 190 pounds. I also struggle with looking in the mirror and seeing the worst. I with you I just got keep going. Keep up the…

This week my goal was to get my steps in that my vivofit set for me each day. I can say all but 2 days I did accomplished that. I was a little nervous I went to the doctor's today and everything look good. Even though this last year I gain all my weight back and 10 pounds more. I still was making choices like no diet sodas…

Good afternoon everyone, my name is Michelle I have always felt over weight. But when I look back at photos I was not even close to being over weight. I guess that is what happens with the brain. I didn't start really gaining weight until after I had my first child. Then lost the weight then stress came into play and…

First I want to say I am sorry for your lost. Boy, some of your story hit home with me. I have been struggling lately with my own journey, but ready your story has kicked me in my butt to get going again. I wish you all the best in your journey.

This week s just walking. My goal is to start weights next week.

By short term goal is to not to be out of breath going upstairs.

I am in. I walked for 45 minutes yesterday.

Hi Everyone, My name is Michelle. I have over 150 lbs. to lose. I started MFP back in December I was doing good and lost 25 Lbs. then family issues came up and I have gained those pounds back. I have had medical issues, but I can't use that as my excuse any more. I am a mother of 3 and grandmother of 3. I my children are…

I too am a person who wants instant gratifications. Just take one day at a time. Good luck with your new beginning.

You look great. Congratulations on the running. I am trying to get into running. My husband and kids want to do one of those mud runs. Keep up the good work.

You look great. I also noticed the small amount of weight that I have lost my shoes are getting bigger. I think that is so funny. You are doing a great job keep it up. I can't wait for the day I can post I have lost 100 lbs.

You look great.

I am so sorry your hudband is that rude. My father was rude to my mother and make comments yo her and when shr would start lising weight he would pick fights with her. My mom died last year to complications to tyoe 2 diabetes. She would be 69 years oldvthis month. I swore I would not be my mom. Well I married a good guy.…

You look great!!!!!

I agree that you shouldn't skip any meals. I also have food cravings at TOM. I eat what I am craving in moderation. Then when I do my workout for the day I do more Cardio to balance the extra I ate. This works for me and I haven't gain. Just remember you are going to have days where you are going to eat more. Just take a…

Sounds good add me please

You are doing great. I am like you I eat what I want but I stay within my calorie count. Before when I would diet I would mentally ruin it because I would think of all the stuff I cant eat. I mean I would wake up in the middle of the night. Now when I want something high in calories I have to work those calories off that…

I agree everyone who has or had to battle with their weight feels the same way. It sounds like you are truely ready to make a change. I enjoy reading about everyone it helps me with my own journey to get healthy. I even share my own struggles that I am having and enjoy the feed back with suggestions. I have only been on…

My husband ordered P90X. I loved working out with it. It is hard but do able. You just have to keep with it (I'm not doing it right now). We even have the pull up bar in the door way to the kitchen. It is so funny anyone (kids, grandkids, and husband) they can't walk through the door way without doing or trying to do a…

You look great. You even look so much younger. Keep up the great work.

Great job. Keep up the good work.

You look good keep the great work.

Hello I'm new to this. My success this week is that even though I didnt get to work out this week as much as I wanted. I watched what I ate and I started my workout again. In the pass I would just say forget it and then I would get depressed. So my success this week is even with the holiday im still moving forward with me…

That is so true about resturant food. I thought one day I would get a sandwhich at Subway. I just got a plain sandwhich with no mayo just some meat and the veggies. I was hungry that day and ate a a whole sandwhich. I was shocked when I came back to the office and log what I ate. I had ate almost all my calories for the…
