155.5 started TOPS OH 0300 Cuyahoga Falls January 2016 at 180.5 down 25#

Weigh in was Thursday - down another 1/2# - - under 160, it's 159.5 but still haven't seen that in a looonnnnggg time.

Hope you are doing well out there dixie_amazon! What a great week - I was down 1.5#. Have been doing my exercise & writing every bite! it really works.

Good for you -..- you can do this!

Well, this was quite a week - winery visit with woodfired pizza plus didn't change up the evening snack too much - - but was down 1/2 #. I will take that!

Yay ME - - down .25 , a loss is soooo much better than a gain. I really worked for that one. I need to change up my evening snack. Will try veggies for a week & see if that has an impact.

Good week! You are on a roll. I WI on Thurs AM - - been working hard on this!

ok - - so a NSV this week! My neighbor (bless her heart - she is 77 years young) brought a thank you gift to me (for giving her a helping hand with something) - - it was a whole package of cookies! No not just one or 2 but the entire package of sandwich crème cookies - - chocolate and vanilla - like oreos - totally…

Congrats! I however had a 1/4# gain......that is better than a whole # gain - - so I begin another week with more determination! Down 16.25 since 1/1/16

That's life! A little down - a little up! You just stick with it, you will do fine!

167.75 (down 12.75 since January 2016) next TOPS weigh-in is Thursday.

Akron Oh OH300 in Cuyahoga Falls!

I've tried WW several times & when they went to Points, I just could not compute that! MFP is a great tool, but this year I joined TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly). It is $32/yr to join & the support in our group is amazing! Between MFP & TOPS I am tracking calories & food exchanges & have dropped 13# - - it is slow going…

I'm new to TOPS also - used MFP a few years ago & will try to be more diligent. I am using the Food Exchange Cards & they help!

I'm in West Akron. Do my working out at Curves in Fairlawn. Great place! Even on rainy days.

Yes, yes I DID !!

Country music - and cruising topless ;-)

Oh yes - by controlling the amount of carbs you take in you can control your bodys insulin. Simple carbs (sugar, flour, potatoes) all have a high glycemic index. Go for the lower starch veggies - green & wax beans, brocilli, cauliflo, lettuces. They will fill you up without the starch. Lean proteins take longer for your…

LOL - there are LOTS of "SWEAT" items in the database - looks like lots of members have added their items but did not check their spelling before hitting the SEND button!! :)

The energy is amazing! Both in the Curves & in myself! Love that!

What a wonderful way to pay it forward! You have done an amazing transformation! Congrats. Debbie

Great transformation! You are looking soooo happy!

Whole Fruit Mango bars - - - Yummy ;-D

Will definately be trying that - may help with my ice cream obsession - THANKS ;)

PS - yes I did my Curves today :happy:

I think the calories burned is based on your weight & intensity of workout. I know I only burn appx 275 to 350 on my 30 minute circuit. But you could probably do the circuit a few times to burn more calories. - -

Yeah - I'm a 60 something grandma too. 3 kids - 7 grands. I'm trying to stay healthy for the long haul. Eat well, move more, drink your water! I love Curves - it is helping me learn to enjoy exercise.

The car I worked soooo hard to get! Love my Babie!!

Guess their Mama never told them "If you can't say something nice - keep you mouth SHUT" !!

@Faith - that is great results! Keep at it girl!!
