Monica and Dana we are like the 3 musketeers!!!!!!. I finally did well with food yesterday because I have been so over stuffed past 2-3 weeks. I am feeling my body is getting stiff and old age pains setting in. I feel the need to start moving. I am hopefully going to hear about a change in position at my job that I need…

Dana, well said. I am in a very low motivation high sugar/carb mode. I have said to let this ride itself out because your right it does click back in when your ready to feed your body healthy foods and move your body that wonderful balance we are all striving. I'm waiting to get this job change at work, my mom's health…

Hi Dana and Monica. The last 10-15 lbs is so hard to loose. That's why we keep trying. Dana I bet you will have fun this weekend seeing old friends. You will feel motivated when you return. Dana I love seeing your picture. Very beautiful. I have not exercised, logged food or weighed myself in awhile. I'm not discouraged. I…

I was bad last night watching the Oscars. I drank 1/2 bottle red wine and 1/2 pint of ice-cream. That's all I'm saying.

Dana -Congratulations for weight going down to 133.2. Can't imagine if the whole house gets sick. Tough stuff to deal with. Monica - you are good to have a great week with food and exercise. Report in what the scale said. I weighed myself this morning 138. Very happy. Motivated now to go and exercise.

Dana - tough with no sleep. Hang in there. Don't give up to tired temptation. I DID IT. I did 30 min with a exercise routine called FitStar and 30 min on Elliptical. I was very slow, stiff, burned out quickly. A always feel great after doing it. Plan on doing it tomorrow.

Welcome back Lambie. Looking forward to getting to know you. My mom is stable for now. Dana thanks for suggesting to lower my goal to 130. You are right. Smaller goals more likely to be successful. Thank you for asking me what my exercise goal is for this weekend because I didn't have one. Now I want to do something…

Monica - you got me laughing. TOM too funny. I haven't had TOM in 1 year.

Monica - what happened? Is TOM your boyfriend? Guess what happened tonight. I am on this surge to eat less no alcohol and loose 2 lbs by this coming Monday. So my husband comes home and talking about Fat Tuesday we have to go out. I end up drink 3/4 bottle of red wine and lots of food. So now I know I won't be 138 come…

Dana - I hear ya about that damn 1 lb increase. Just doesn't seem fair when we try hard all the time. I would be eating the batter too and the baked cookies. That's a tough challenge for you. What is your plan to not derail yourself? I hate this weighing in but I have to. I had to deal with some issues with my mom and was…

Dana What a crazy cycle we all live in with constant watch on food and exercise. I spent some time last night reading this Middles group from the beginning. It was cathartic in a way that what goes through my mind and behavior is so absolutely common with so many other people. I never have read real live peoples struggle…

Dana. Have a great weekend with your niece. Keep up your great success through out the weekend. I was excited this morning weighed in at 139. Need to stay there till Monday. Next week work on getting to 138.

You are very inspiring. That is fantastic to get 55 lbs off. Great comment about taking one day at a time. Sometimes I break it further down to a few hours especially with food. We both have the same goal to get to 125 by summer. I know we can do it. I have had 4 days of not over eating and that feels good. I'm weighing…

Monica. I see you have lost 45 lbs. how fabulous for you. What an achievement!! I know you can loose the last 10. Go go go

My exercise routine i have tried going to gyms end shortly after. Never ever been a runner. I like walking with my dog but its Cleveland weather and I haven't done this past 2 months. I have a 10 year old elliptical in my home that I do love. I have a bench and 5-8-10lb weights and stretch bands. I had a friend who is a…

Monica. Good one drank wine and didn't gain. You two are doing so well. You both keep exercising. I still can't seem to get into it. After my nasty Oreo binge yesterday. I didn't eat wasn't hungry. For dinner had some rotisserie chicken. Drank water today. Still feel like I need to eat light tomorrow. I don't know if it's…

Dana - try and remember what Monica's new profile pic is from Jillian Michaels. Don't slash 3 tires. I know when I try and be good knowing something is lying a head that may sabotage my nutrition plan I have this instantaneous click in my head that gives me permission to blow it knowing after the event I will get back on…

I nneeded to read your Jillian Michaels quote today because I completely ruined my food today. I know this happens to me and I did it anyway. Went out last night drank a lot of wine. So today I ate oatmeal then I knew I was going to be at risk of blowing it and I did. I tend to grossly over eat the day after I drink a lot.…

Monica and Dana - I just wrote out on a calendar 1lb weight loss per week will take me to just before my birthday 6/12 at 125. I'm asking for your support and motivation. I have never reached out for support like this. I think us 3 are very similar in our behavior and goals. What do you think?

Hi Dana, Love that your sticking to the exercise routine. Thats where I need help right now. I think when you exercise a lot you may need a few more protein calories to get you satisfied. Don't skip weighing in tomorrow. It just may be the thing to kick your a.. back in to gear and not over eat this week. Every morning I…

Thats good variety. I can tell my mood isn't ready to get back into exercise after not doing it for a month. Good news last few days nutrition has been great. Lost the over eating lbs. Weighed in this morning at 139 from 142. Now I say just don't blow it this weekend. Going to a party Sat with a bunch of girls. That always…

I didn't get up before work past 2 mornings to workout. It's winter and cold here and that's my great excuse. Love sleeping in till the last minute. Tough habit to break. Monica what is your exercise routine?

Why is this so hard when you want it so bad.

Monica - Completed 30 min on elipitical this morning. You are right toughest part is making it a daily habit. I know what to do too but don't follow as well. I told myself this morning to just think about today and get your a.. up and exercise. I did and now its behind me. Have a good day!!

Thanks Monica, I do have an exercise routine I do at home elliptical and strength training. Trying to do 6 x a week but I can barely get in 2-3 x a week when I'm motivated. My goal is to get up early and exercise before work. So difficult. I do love to drink wine and then eat way to much the following days carbs, sugar and…

I am back posting. It has been a few months and my weight has gone up not done. Need a few friends to keep me accountable and not sure how to do this. I haven't exercised in a month. Weight in this morning 143 and goal is 125 by my birthday June 12 I will be 53. I need a buddy?

I would like to join this over 50. I am 52 and the weight just keeps adding up and I want it to go the other way. Looking for 1 or 2 people to talk to on a more regular basis. Not sure if I should join a group or try and find 2 people on my fitness pal who would like this. I weight 143 and would like to get to 125. I am…

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate this back up to 140.3

I did 10 again today on my knees. I realized a couple weeks ago when I started doing pushups on my knees and I could do 20 no problem. My husband noticed my form was wrong. My butt was raised too high. I read a proper knee pushup is butt should be level like in a plank position and elbows closer to your body not winged…

weighed 138.6. Finally below 140 yea
