You look awesome. Keep up the great work. Disney is going to be the best!

I feel like I have been run over by a bus. The heat caused a momma squirrel to choose our attic as a den for her babies. We heard them over the weekend. Pest guy came and set a one way trap so they could leave and not get back in. Momma left, but the babies were inside. Last night, the babies cried all night long. Pest guy…

Where did the weekend and Monday go???? It is official, I eat when I am bored! I have been so busy the last few days at school that I don't think about food. Now, if I could just do something when I come home and fix dinner. Not so good! My husband rented Wii Zumba at RedBox for me over the weekend. I did it. It was okay.…

Welcome Ashley and Linda. Nice to have you here. Being back at work has been good. I needed more routine. Worked through TOM and the scale was down 2.2 pounds. :smile: I just need to keep from gaining it back. Jessa, I went to a new hair stylist and the first thing she asked me was "I am assuming you want to color your…

I blew my diet today. Went out and had mexican food for lunch with friends. Then had a huge steak dinner with cake for my husband's 50th birthday party. Now I am sitting here feeling literally sick. I weighed this morning and was the same (TOM). :grumble: I am a little surprised. I thought it would be a pound. I will weigh…

Good Monday to ya. Went back to work today carrying my giant glass of water and a snack. Went to lunch and got fajitas. Left some food on my plate. Little things, I know. But they will get me where I need to go. majikwon1961 Sounds like you have got this going for you. 11 pounds off in just 2 weeks is AWESOME. Bet your…

Not sure where you live, but here in Texas, I can wear shorts until October. I would stick with what you got. I own no belts but I think that is a great idea kierra28. Have you thought about resale? I did that with clothes that don't fit. It would be cheaper than buying new. I have sold some things that I never wore/barely…

Happy Friday! This year is flying by. We finally got rain yesterday. It was wonderful. Finally broke the 40 days in a row of 100 plus weather. I can see fall on the horizon. I look forward to waking outside, again. I was bad and had Dr. Pepper today. I ordered it again without thinking. Instead of sending it back, I drank…

brandymk sounds like you have a lot of changes this year. My youngest went to kindergarten last year. This year she will be on my hall. I am not sure that is going to be a good thing. What grade are you teaching? Hope your move in goes well. I am going to school this weekend. I have a new principal. Hope that goes well. I…

I am in. I will need to look up the exercises. Do I need to PM my totals everyday? Not a problem now, but when school starts I will not be on as much. Thank you for organizing this. I appreciate you.....and everyone else that is making themselves better. See you tomorrow. Jana

I haven't told anyone besides my daughter who is doing it with me. When I have told people at school before, I felt like I was under a microscope from some. Others would tell me how "skinny" I was looking even though I had gained everything back. My husband knows I am on the computer....but I think he thinks I am on…

Good Wednesday to you! Usually I love Wednesdays.....but this is the last weekend before school starts. :sad: Better put on my big girl panties (Lord knows I have them!) and get over it. No Jessa, I did not get any pants. It was 110 degrees yesterday and I decided to not drag 3 kids shopping. I looked online at…

I weighed this morning. I gained. :yawn: Now I weigh 332.2. Bummed, but I am not surprised. As Richard Simmons used to say "I hold the fork." Picking myself up. Signed up my daughter for MFP. She is young, but I think the calorie tracker will be great for her to use with her Iphone. I see so much of myself in her. She has…

Just got home from a long weekend trip. I will weigh in the morning....but it is not going to be pretty. I like the goals that were mentioned for this week. They work for me. I also LOVE the idea of pulling out rewards from the bag. Good idea. In addition to letting myself for for the last 18th months, I let my finances…

Off on a weekend trip. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Thank you for the accountability that you give me. Jana

Today I did not do so well. I gave in to stress eating. Need to build a bridge and "get over it". It is funny (actually sad) how I turn to food to "fix it". Does anyone else do this???? Supposed to sleep in today....neighbor's lawn guy starts weed eating at 7:00 AM outside my bedroom window. I get up and eat junk (rice…

Wonderful Wednesday to you! I am so ready for October to get here and some cool weather. I promise not to complain about any freezing weather this year. :frown: I have logged on for 10 days in a row. I actually started officially on Monday. So far I have recorded my food and water each day. I have been under calories each…

I just did the most pathetic sit-ups know to man... They can only get better. :ohwell: Got my water in. Does school shopping with three kids in really hot weather for two hours count as cardio??? I know my blood pressure was up.... I will double up tomorrow, just in case. Sweet dreams!

Good morning! I got on the scales this morning. I weighed 328.6. :noway: This my first week on MFP. Let the skinniness begin. :wink: My goals this week are to avoid Dr. Pepper ( my go-go juice) and to drink 10 glasses of water every day. :drinker: I will also begin my summer is almost over ritual. I will go to bed by 10:00…

Hey! I am Jana. I am forty-one and live in Texas. I am married and have three daughters. The oldest two are from a previous marriage. I am a teacher who is about to go back to work, so I wish summer would last a little longer. :-) I have been heavy since the 2nd grade. After my divorce I gained 50 pounds. After my third…

May I please join, too? My name is Jana and I live in Texas. I need to lose 188 pounds. The Texas heat is melting me and the weight is hard on my knees and feet. I would love to have mini challenges with you guys!

You are my hero. Awesome job!
