Feel free to add me. Getting back on track after a year full of ups and downs (and not just my weight!!) Looking for some motivation and ideas. I do most of my logging on my phone so I only see what friends post. Havent figured out howe to look at the community stuff. Lets help each other!

Good morning, Just getting back into MFP and looking for some support. My motivation? To look good in our youngest's wedding photos in October!! My partner and I are working on this together. The bride-to-be is doing WW and has lost 20 lbs!! July goals - track everyday, exercise at least 5 days a week (1 hour) and just be…

Hello there. Texas gal here also. I found MFP in Januaury 2011 and it helped me go from a 14 to a 6!! Only lost about 25 pounds but the rest was toning! Some life changes in the last year have made life interesting and I have gained a little back but still between 8-10!! Which for me is a miracle. Life changes in the past…

Very insightful post. And WAY TO GO TEXANS!!

Congratulations!! You look fantastic!!:flowerforyou:

My name has been confused with everything from Shelley - Kelly - Nellie, Ellen and even Edith one time! I correct if there is a chance I will ever see this person again. If I meet them again, I make sure to correct them, and just laugh it off. But because of this, I do my very best to get other people's name correct!!

here in Texas - we say 'want a coke?" reply - 'sure, what kind y'all got?' I grew up with pop but been here for so long, it sounds strange to me now.

I am proud of myself for sticking to my weight loss journey through the break-up of my 11 year relationship! Food has always been my comfort but I have taken up kick-boxing to deal with the anger!!

NICE!!! I'm going to have to show this pic to my friend who keeps trying to show me "The Gun Show" - THIS is a GUN SHOW!!

I LOVED the books and am excited to see it on the big screen. My daughter told me about it. She has recommended it to her 6th grade students. And I have shared it with friends.

I spray bleach or ammonia on the door (neighborhood cats like my front door). Give it a few days then wash off. Seems to have helped. Also works to keep animals out of garbage cans.

great job! thanks for the inspiration!!

turkey burger with grilled onion and bell pepper and zuchinni with diced tomatoes (left-overs from last night's dinner)

did level 3 last night - the jumps are what kicks my butt!

I have beena t 1200 for awhile, feel free to add me. You can do it!

I am trying to figure this one out as well. The clothes that are REALLY big, I have started putting in a garage sale box. But I haven't been able to bring myself to clean out the closet. Fear, I guess. I did buy some new clothes (I am in an 8 or 10 now) . But I am still wearing some of my size 12 jeans with belts. Guess as…

you do look younger! Reward yourself and get a new pic!

You should be so proud!! Great motivation, thanks for sharing.

I have to agree with the crowd here. I just do it and sometimes I get a surge of energy and sometimes not. But at least I get a workout in. The guilt of NOT working out is too much for me to bear most days! :embarassed:

I am at level 2 day 6. I LOVE IT!! I sweat just as much, if not more, in those 20 minutes than I do on the elliptical. I took measurements before and am excited to see what they are after. Push-ups are not my friend :laugh: but I do the best I can. I have mananged to do more with each day. So I am taking that as my NSV!!…

Good job!! And I love the success stories with pictures!

Hello, I found this site last year about this time and it has helped me alot! Down about 25 pounds! I have two daughters (28 and 30) and my youngest has started on here so I am super excited for her!!! I like knowing I can eat a little more with just a little bit of exercise. And I have learned alot from the message…

count me in! Fridays are my day to weigh anyway! Last Friday 149.3 Today 146.3 But going through some sort of relationship issues this month - normally not this much in a week. I usually do a pound or so a week. Just gonna put my head down and keep going.

kodos to you!! :drinker:

Sorry for your loss. I must agree with everyone and suggest you keep yourself occupied. Life has dealt me some pretty hard blows and I know where you are coming from. (It;s just me and my girls now. Both parents, brothers, ex mom-in-law and ex are gone) My daily saying? "It's all gonna be ok - just NOT today." It helped…

congrats!!! Way to stick with it!!!

DirecTv used to have FitTV. I got started on there. I have a few shows still on my TiVo but sure do hate that it is gone. Now I do Biggest Loser DVDs or Jillian Michaels. Not the same but does the trick. Good luck.

good job!!!

I need some motivation! 1. eat more salads 2. drink more water (I have to force myself to do these two when it is cold outside!) 3. watch my intake of all the holiday sweets! Goal - relax!! I tend to put off life (meeting friends after work, holiday shopping during the week while it is less crowded, etc.) for a workout but…

good job!!!
