Hi!!! Me too, well I am in my 50's but I want to get back to being honest with myself and September is a great month to begin. I just set my ticker back to zero to see new numbers too. Yippee for the new group challenge, Teresa

Yes to weighing in at the beginning and end. :smile: I will start with 230.. I have gained this past two months working at a desk job again. I love my job but need to move it more when I get off work.

Hi, count me in! I am also in the same boat as you and need to freshen up my thought process and exercise. I just stopped my current gym membership and changing to the YMCA this weekend to see if a new mindset will be helpful. Please include me in the 30 day Fresh Start. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.…

So happy and proud of you! What an amazing blog today. Thanks for sharing that.

Love you blogs. Thanks for always sharing your feelings and success

Hi, first time joining your group! Excited to see everyone's results. SW: 245 CW: 226 GW: 220 Weigh in Dates: 6/1 - 226 Walking 3 miles

I think it is a personal preference really. I don't think you need to go overboard on them as some of the diet shakes that people push. I am running a daycare here and sometimes I am so very busy I almost forget to eat breakfast. I try to make a green smoothie with protein powder, maybe one with peanut butter, Almond milk.…

Hi, been here awhile and learning the tricks and how many calories you can eat is important. I am doing better since I remember to log in daily. I need to lose about 80 lbs too. Motivation is the key! We can do this and if you want to friend me let me know.

Hi, I want to join in too! I am 233 lbs and really want to lose as much as possible that is appropriate in 12 weeks, going to shoot for 15-20 lbs. I also turn 55 on March 22. . Going back to read the thread and I hope you can add me too! Thanks!!! :happy: printed the week #1 info and the smoothie. I liked your page on…

I am trying to and with all your motivations I will get there too! Keep moving and focus on the new year and no more holidays.

Hi, please add me to your friends too! I have 100 lbs to lose and we can do this. Your story sounds like mine but log in and log the food. Even if you go over we will support you and we understand. Happy New Year!!! Teresa

Congratulations! I am very encouraged that as of today I can do this too! Stories like this and photos help me a lot. Thank you! Keep up the good work.

Thank you for posting this. Very encouraging to me today as I move forward into this land of health,

I would love to join in and walk the journey!

Congratulations on your achievements! Good luck on your new year!

I would love to join in this group if I may please.... My 5% is 11.5 lbs. This is my first challenge since starting MFP. I am really excited to get moving! Thanks, Teresa

That is a pretty special song! Wishing my kids dad would have adored them like you. It will be perfect if you don't find help.

That sounds like a great idea. I will have to try it soon.

I think you are amazing! Thank you for starting my week out with such a great motivational message.

Thanks for your wonderful outlook on life. You are becoming a habit of mine to check in and see what you have to say and how can I start my day so positive. I am most often positive but you bring me up a few steps in my thoughts and it is helpful. Bless you and have a great day.

Glad I stumbled upon your post this morning. What a fantastic man you are to take time to cheer us all on and give all this motivation to us! Thanks, you make me smile!

Ed, Thank you so much for today's post. I messed up and ate badly all weekend and I new today was my day to get back into my world of happiness which actually does mean eating better and logging my food. I am excited to get moving forward today. Your words brought a smile to me and I think I can hear them all day, thanks.

Hi, I just started a 30 day challenge for myself on June 1st. I am back in control of my choices and I am down 2 lbs. I had gain three and I was really needing to get serious. It is up to me to log but I have it on my phone and my facebook and twitter. I am really trying to keep it in my focus. I have it as my home page on…
