Hey Lydia! Welcome! You sound busy, busy!!! I laughed when I read you pay your son to exercise with you. Cute! Whatever works! But seriously, it is good to have the support. You are fortunate. You have lived in different places, and that interests me so much. Most of you have lived in more than one place. I have been in…

I am realizing that my "free" Mondays will end soon! I still do have some time off, and I intend to use it well. The weather is incredible so I like being outside. The heat and humidity is on its way back. I am trying so hard to stay on track. Medifast is really easy because you only need to plan one meal a day. The rest…

When it is put that way.....I guess every pound is important! Thanks for sharing. All of these things help!:smile:

Hi Dyanna! Welcome! Sandy, what class are you taking? I have always disliked school. So what happened? I became a teacher, then a college professor. Go figure. Grad school is tough. Applause to you! It is such a beautiful day here that I have spent all of it outside so far. I am having a very "hungry" day, though. I just…

How is everyone this lovely Sunday morning? I have been keeping myself busy this weekend. Didn't go to the movies, though. Just didn't feel like it. I am definitely going to try it soon, though! I spent the day relaxing, reading out on the deck, and preparing some food for the week. Now, I am definitely ready for my honey…

You guys are great! Love your input. I'm not sure what I will do, but it is a funny thing. I can do most things on my own, but not the movies. Isn't that odd?? I wish my friend didn't cancel on me so last minute. I would have stayed at the beach!! Oh well, bigger problems in life. I love checking in here and seeing what…

Hi Sandy, Toni, Ginger, DJ, marsellient, thin, and I hope I didn't leave anyone else out! I love reading all the posts and learning. It is motivating to see how well everyone is doing, and also helpful when someone isn't "perfect" and I can see we are all in the same boat. Good to know I'm not alone! Had a glorious day at…

Hi All! Welcome Darryls and hello to tsp and dj! Hope I am not forgetting anyone. Well, it is Friday and I am off to the beach. I look forward to it since it is a perfect day! My friends have a lovely house right across the street from the beach so it is convenient. Hubby is on his camping trip, and I have plans while he…

Just saw your posts and thought of kale. Haha. Anyway, do you roast kale? It is really delicious. I buy tons of it and roast it and it becomes kale chips. I find it to be crunchy and a nice side dish instead of potatoes or potato chips. The only bad thing is it sticks to your teeth. So you have little green things in your…

Hi Tsk, wow that 30 day shred sounds intense. Good for you!! A wonderful accomplishment. I have a busy few days coming up, and hopefully will stick to plan. Have planned all my meals, and that helps. I have been drinking a crapload of water. As long as I'm not at work I can do that. Once I go back to work, I just can't be…

Superior? NOOOOOO!!! Barbaric??? NOOOO!!! I do love teaching this class because it basically covers life. The students are pretty good, but some are just not motivated at all. The ESL kids get to read, write, work on grammar, etc. They are good kids and some have just arrived in the U.S. quite recently. Their english is…

Morning! I think the hot and sticky and rainy weather is on the way out for the time being. Finally broke through my weight plateau so I'm happy. DJ, the mashed cauli is wonderful! If you like cauliflower, mash it up with some margarine, a bit of cheese, or even a dash of soup stock. It kind of tastes like mashed potatoes…

Hi Kathy! Welcome! I also check the website a bunch of times during the day. It is good to have pals to go through this with! Dj, I am very happy to be here for you!:smile: I tutored, came home and had a nice, healthy dinner of salmon and mashed cauliflower. Not very exciting, but good for me. I want pizza.....sigh.

Hey DJ! Good news all around from you! Congrats on the weight! You will be happy when the elliptical arrives, then you can get into a routine with it. I have a goal to run a 5k with my son. It is a huge goal for me to reach. I am slowly working up to it, and happy with the progress. I have a long way to go! I'm terrified…

Happy Monday! Another week, a continued struggle. I wish I didn't look at it that way! I keep thinking, "I should be at ____ weight by now" and other things. I really need to concentrate on each day and just deal with that. Vacation is getting closer and closer and I just thought I would be in a better place by then. How…
-
Hi Liz! Great to "see" you! First vacation in 10 years....woweee, you deserve to have the best time! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Its also really good that you didn't gain weight while enjoying all those yummy meals. djc, the beach I go to is a National Park, so it is all natural. It took a hit during Hurricane Sandy, but it did…

The nearest beach is a little over an hour which is great. We go most weekends, and I just love it. It is like a mini vacation. Calm, quiet, and clean. This particular beach doesn't have all the boardwalk craziness of food, games, etc. It is just beach! I am lucky to live 15 minutes from Manhattan, 60 minutes from the…

Decided not to go to the beach today. Just not into it. I also need to get moving djcangel. I use free weights when I don't feel like doing much. I can sit and watch tv and use them. I also have some walking dvds that I use. They are ok! At least I feel like I'm getting the old bones moving. I have a treadmill, but it is…
-
djcangel, i agree about the buddy system. most of my friends do not need to lose weight, so that is why I try to use this resource. My friends. although fairly understand, just really don't get it. Maybe a buddy system here would be good! I am trying very hard to learn to be around food that I can't have. It is everywhere.…

Hey all! I was having big time computer issues that are now resolved. This group does seem kind of quiet. I am interested in being part of a group that actually keeps in touch! I am struggling with my weight just like everyone else. I think it is great to connect with people in "my age group" because perhaps we have some…

this sounds great! i'm glad different "plans" will fit in!:smile:

I have over 50 pounds to still lose and am interested in a group where people are active. Limiting the number of people is such a good idea! This way we can all get to know each other. I'm in! I check online regularly. I am on Medifast, so I don't log my foods, since it is MF foods for the most part. Will that mater?
-
Sounds like a great start! Motivation to get moving is hard. I am the excuse queen. I can easily find excuses for everything. Some people find walking groups, etc. but I wouldn't be good with that since I exercise when the mood strikes and not at a specific time. Riding a bike to work is admirable! What a wonderful example…

Don't listen to all your friends and family. Everyone seems to have advice. Most of that advice stinks. Go with what you feel is right. Different things work for different people.

This is such a process. It is amazing how many programs and diets are out there and how different programs appeal to different people. It all works if you work it! I always said that I couldn't blame any program. I take responsibility for my gains and losses. Hard to admit! One thing that happens to me is when I see a loss…

I can't wait to buy a great pair of jeans! also a cute sun dress. I'm not 21 anymore, so I will be careful about that! Always envy women wearing sun dresses.:wink:
