Since I'm a pain and do my weigh-ins on Thursday, here goes :tongue: : 235 mark today, which means I made my goal. I'll say since things are slowing down (water weight maybe?) that my new goal is 232 for next week. :) Things are going ok. I'm starting to lose some motivation mostly out of sheer exhaustion. Who wants to go…

Ronnie - HAHA, I think you can read minds. :P Obviously, I started this and wanted to reach my goals before this happened, but it definitely adds motivation to see him in a few months and flaunt it! (He has no visitation/custody rights so I can see him whenever I choose, which right now would be not at all, lol. Which…

Thanks you guys. I really appreciate it. For now I'm just distancing myself from him and the entire situation so that I can make it through and be strong for my little girl. On a brighter note, I hired a personal trainer today! The gym I go through has contract plans or non-contract plans. I hate trying to remember…

I suppose I could add that I don't think I'll ever remember to do the daily check-ins of calories, but I've been doing good. If I find myself even remotely tempted to fall off the bandwagon, I'll start and keep it up just to make sure but otherwise I usually have my hands full. :P Also, my ex (father of my daughter) and I…

I'm totally slacking on this topic but still keeping up. I promise to check in here more. O:) Haha. I ended up at 239 last week so that will be my starting point. (YAY, lost one pound more than my initial goal! :D ) So looking to be at 235 end of this week. I have a meeting with a personal trainer at the gym I go to…

Thanks again everyone! So, question... Every other forum I've been a part of, there has been an easy way to land myself at the most recent unread post. Is there a way to do that here so I don't have to start at page 1 every time and *try* to find where I left off?? Lol. So, I started my diet last week but yesterday was the…

Thank you for the welcome and the info! I'm so excited to get this going and loving the site! :) I'll probably end up "weighing in" on Thursday and posting on Friday (since I use the scale at the clinic I work at for accuracy :tongue: )

I'm in! Just got it today but I was planning to start tonight. :happy:

Hi there! I'm Crystal and although I wasn't able to browse through all posts, this looked like a good place to start being new to MFP and all. :happy: I'm still a little confused about the check ins. I love the idea given accountability and such but is it more of a weekly weight check in, or is it net calories daily…
