Hello everyone! I am Kate and I live in Plainville. I'm trying to work my way into a healthy lifestyle! Its so great to see that there are so many MFPers in the CT!

Back down to 258! Yay!

Back up to 260. However, considering the past weekend of eating out and drinking with old college friends, it could have been way worse!

259 this morning. Gotta get back into exercising regularly.

I would love to join in! It's been months since I tracked my weight with a group and it clearly makes a difference. Need to get focused!

You've just started. This is just the beginning of your journey to a healthier you. We all have weeks where we don't see the progress and we're frustrated and we don't feel like keeping up the work. The important thing is to keep going. No matter what the scale says you are working for a healthier lifestyle. You can do…

Starting Weight: 284 Goal Weight: 266 Current Weight: 278.4 Arghhh... gained this week. Just a little, but still annoying.

I agree with the others. Don't worry about the scale so much. What you are doing for yourself is bigger than just what the scale says. Eating right, exercising. It's more important to maintain that. The weight will continue to work itself out if you are doing the right things. Plus, a half pound is nothing! Don't sweat the…

It's weird but I want to be able to squat down to pick something up off the floor. Right now I have to bend at the waist and almost pass out with all the blood rushing to my head. If I try to squat, my knees hurt and make cracking noises and I am off balance. It just seems to symbolize the things I cannot do physically…

Yay!!!!! Had a great week! I am proud of myself. And of all of you :D Let's keep it up!

You can do this! We all can. We just have to start. First step is the most important and then you just take it a day at a time. Only day 2 using MFP and logging my food is already helping me make better choices.

I use a CPAP as well. Using it has made a huge difference in my energy level. Having the energy helps power your motivation. I have found that the days that I haven't used the CPAP, I feel listless and unfocused. It totally makes sense that you would do better on the days that you wake up feeling fully refreshed.
