@b_lisieux Have a wonderful weekend and great vacation! Getting walks in every day on vacation helps me combat all the richer foods I enjoy (in moderation!). I'm sure you'll do just fine and I look forward to seeing you back on the thread when you return!

@Silhouette_man Gabe! You are rocking this! I like the new name. :) Wouldn't it be fun to make your profile pic a silhouette of your before and after pic?! You've already accomplished so much. @moodybear2003 I have felt that way many times. Many, many times! I love Deb's analogy about being a marathon runner- that was very…

Ok, around the end of May we'll get started on the summer challenge. It will be a great motivator for me to take the lead on this so I don't fall off the wagon over summer. :smiley:

Baseball season has begun! And now that I've got 2 playing (so fun!) our schedule is cah-RAZY- at least 3 games a week right around dinnertime!! I need some easy/simple, possibly transportable meal ideas that are healthy! I 'budgeted' my day around pizza tonight but I can't keep doing that! So, whatcha got for me? Help!

@raven0811 congrats on the 1lb- it IS definitely something!!! Especially when (at least for me) motivation to just begin is 75% of the battle. I like to keep my immediate goals small, too. For a mini goal- you can do pound increments- percentage (5 or 10% of your total weight) or milestones/decades of weight lost or…

Karen- great job! I know you really wanted to get into the 240's and you made it! Gabe- great loss this week!!! You are just dropping pounds like crazy since this challenge started- so awesome! You are SOOO close to the 200s, too- keep on keeping on! Margie- what a great week! Congrats on meeting your goal! I love seeing…

Back in Florida again. Buried my stepmom yesterday. I know I ate more than I should have and high calorie stuff, too. Going to be walking a lot today and tomorrow so I'm just hoping to maintain this week and next. Glad I have a place just to be accountable even though I'm having a rough time right now.

Fess up time- I totally binge-ate yesterday. Double my calorie limit, probably. At least. That pie was calling my name for days and I gave in to it's siren song knowing it was a stupid move. Ugh. And I know it has everything to do with grief and finding comfort in the wrong place (food) and of course I'm disappointed in…

@canyonGeek Sorry, I know I've been MIA due to my stepmom's passing- no worries if you don't include my stats, but I just wanted to put them out here for posterity's sake. Think Spring!

Hey all, just a quick update- I might be absent for a bit, going to try and keep logging in and staying on track if I can but might not be able to follow plan or weigh in. My stepmom lost her battle with cancer yesterday and I'm getting on a plane in a little while to be with my Dad for the unforeseen future. I'm obviously…

@jessec80 Every Sunday. :) And he cried for awhile every time at dropoff (but eventually stopped after several minutes) so it wasn't like he was screaming for an hour. He was/is a stubborn kid, though- it took that long to sleep train him, too! Maybe your daughter will give in after awhile- just because it took Nolan that…

@Jessec80 Congrats on your progress so far this year!! I'm so sorry you're dealing with some separation anxiety with your little one. Stress City! For the longest time my youngest would cry every single week we dropped him off at church nursery. He finally went willingly with little/no tears but it took like half a year! I…

@schwich13 @buxbert @glassgirlw2018 Hi! :smiley: So glad you're joining us on this spring challenge! @pjakechris welcome back to the journey! For what it's worth, I previously did WW to lose a bunch of weight, (which I gained back) but felt so much more empowered using MFP to really learn about what I'm putting in my body…

@BarneyRubbleMD Great job being accountable to yourself. You got off track, but looks like you stopped before completely derailing and are getting back at it. That is no easy feat in my experience and I'm proud of you!

@LeighNC Hi! :smiley: so glad you're here! I just sent you a friend request. @skinnyjeanzbound Hokey pete- I am so glad you are ok!!! Accidents are the pits, though. Glad you're feeling better. @mnwalkingqueen That stinking Queso strikes again!!! LOL! Love it! Let us know what you think of the resistance bands- I've been…

Hi @mrsb899 You're among kindred spirits (for better or for worse- ha!) I'm trying to lose the same 50 pounds I've said both "goodbye!" and "welcome back" to more than a couple times. And once those are gone THEN I'll face the next 75ish that also need to go! :wink: @raindogmaa nice loss this week! @b_lisieux You are doing…

Happy Monday everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good. Hubby planned a date and the kids spent the night with grandparents, so that's always a treat! We went out for Mexican (yum!) and although I was reticent cause I get anxiety about what I'm going to eat when out, I'm really proud of myself for a couple…

@cellosmiles Thanks! I tried that with you :smile: it said "invite friends" and I had to put my full name and there was a message section too so I was confused. Hopefully that worked. I am 36 years young but so bad at technology, LOL

@canyonGeek Thanks for taking the time to do that! And thanks for friending me. I think the problem is the Android app- it looks different and only gives me the option to send a message. I'll have to drag out the laptop and do it.

You'd think after using this app for years I'd know this- but I can't figure out how to add specific people (specifically you fantastic peeps) as friends? If I click someone's username it only gives be the option to message them or ignore them. So... If you know how to do this please tell me all you know orrrrrr just…
