  • @kgirlhart can I be you? You look lovely. Your face looks healthy and glowing, not anything like that gaunt look that can happen at too low a weight. That said, your comfortable weight is for you to decide not random strangers like me on the internet lol!

  • @cjsacto congrats on your goal, this is awesome! @mlhopp93 and @efurlong8183 omg me too, at work somehow it's easier. Maybe because at work, I know it isn't expected to be "fun" lol.

  • Thanks for that resource, @TEQWAR - I obviously confused Tookland with Buckland, a rookie error. Glad I have company here on the road to Mordor ... And I have reached Tookland :)

I was a little off-put by discovering that it doesn't link GPS and so didn't start back when this thread first did, but ... okay, I will enter my miles :) I am now 2.5 miles from Tookland. What do you folks think, wasn't it actually like 35-40 miles from…

  • I totally get this! For me, it is really easy to slack off once I feel a little "better" and thus deprive myself of getting to my goal, or just turn around and gain it back. I just lost my 20 lbs for the oh, what, third time and MFP and lifetime, maybe the 10th or 15th time. This is not good for me and I was resolved to do…

  • Glad you reached out with the friend request! It's definitely worth a little time to get more connected here, but in the long run - it's each of us staying motivated ourselves and making those choices one day at a time. Some days are great, some so so, but they DO add up to success if we keep at it.

  • I am old enough to have heard of the blood type diet, and I suspect that it worked for you because you liked or tended to overeat some of the things that were on the "don't eat" list for your type. As a common O Positive, my blood type diet would have looked like keto with extra vegetables, so I ran the other way :lol:…
