Here we go!! Name: Elizabeth Height: 5' 1.75" Starting Weight 12/1: 231.4 Goal Weight 12/31: 225 12/8: 12/15: 12/22: 12/29: 12/31: Struggles: Keeping it going the whole month. I'm good the first two weeks, but I fall off after that. I hope others will keep me accountable!! Thank all!!

I'm in, see ya tomorrow

Now that my kids are older, we buy a real tree, but only fir trees. My oldest son and I are allergic to both pine and cedar. Keep my inhaler handy when we tree shop. But a real one us soooo worth it!

I'm only up one pound. My family helped serve Thanksgiving dinner at a woman's homeless shelter and I'm sure it was loaded with sodium. So worth it though!!

Once was enough for me!! (I fell off) Would you strap yourself to a small airplane while it does loops?

No way!! I love my luscious locks!! Would spend the night in a haunted cemetery alone?

No way!! Would you be willing to be buried alive for 3 minutes?

I'd be on the moon in a New York minute!! Would you walk across hot coals?

I weigh every morning and track the fluctuations on my phone. I used to weigh every Monday, but then if I gained it frustrated me. Now I see trends in my eating (namely sodium) and then a slight gain, no more hating myself and giving up. I've always bad about knowing when my TOM was starting, now I know when I jump 5-7…

Congrats on your first day!! It's a great site!! Friend request sent ☺

Congrats!! What a difference!!

I love Rosetta Stone!! I homeschool and my kids wanted different languages. It really helped them online talking to other people and native speakers.

I drink whole raw milk from our local dairy. Before that I drank the milk from my goats. Best milk you'll ever have!!

Hi, I'm Elizabeth!! I'm 43, 5' 2" and 236. Looking for ladies around my age and weight. Definitely in need of motivation and support. :wink:

I feel sluggish and sometimes I swear my liver hurts!! At least in that area, probably my gallbladder or something. I never thought fast food would taste"off." I can go to restaurants (Chili's, Luby's, Outback steakhouse, etc) and as long as I don't get anything too greasy, I'm good. But fast food is pretty much dead in my…

Seltzer water is great because you get your fizz without the calories and you can add fresh juice to flavor it or fresh fruit pieces. Yummy!!

Bump These posts are really helping me today, I need it!!

The Flower Duet from the opera Lakmé AND... My husband in the other room talking to the fly that got in and must buzzing around his head. LOL

Last year our neighbors tried to steal a computer out of my car when I walked back inside my house. But I locked the doors and he was trying to use a hanger to open the passenger side door. I "accidentally" let my two dogs out (both weigh @ 65lbs) and well, let's just say it didn't end well for him. Later I found out from…

That happens to me as well!! I found if I carry something in my hands it helps. Anything from my keys to a cloth to blot sweat or a bottle of mace. I had stopped walking because if the swelling, but now it's a lot better.

Yummy dried cranberries!!

Kale Edamame Six months ago I had never heard of Kale, now it's one if my absolute favorites!!

LOL ???? That my friend is EPIC!! Said with accent and gestures!! If they kicked one of my teacup Chihuahuas, they die ???? If they kick one of my bigger dogs ( Rottweiler/Chow & Chow/? mixes) then I'll just sit back while the dogs do it for me because that means they were in my yard.

Definitely would have survived!! I was a farm kid and my dad's side of the family was Amish. Electricity and cars are a nice convenience, but I could easily give it up. I'm grateful to my ancestors for their life lessons.

This was my problem as well, weight loss was all or nothing!! I almost quit MFP over it, but with the support of my newfound friends, I was able to make mini-goals for myself. It has completely changed the way I see weight loss!!

Raw sunflower seeds Dried cranberries Apples

Don't remember who said it, but its so true!! ???? Yoga pants are the bacon of clothing!! ????

Did day 1 week 1 yesterday and I liked it. I hope my arthritic knee let's me finish because I enjoyed it!! I didn't exactly jog, more like a shuffle but I DID IT!! :wink:

Tilapia - no matter how you cook it smells and tastes like raw fish!! ????
