I have 100+ to lose, so I hear ya about being here a while. I've been on and off for a while, but always come back. The things that consistently have helped me in the past have been the support system here, the tracking, the fact you can find the answer to almost ANY health/diet/fitness issue. MFP is a fantastic resource.…

You GO, Mr. Man!! Pretty soon the cape won't cut off your breath around your neck!!

So, just a question........does everyone do other workouts on the off days? Or do a complete rest day?

Okay, so there is a race I have been promising myself to enter at the end of October. I have no delusions that I will actually run with fire under my feet, but I would like to run the 5k portion without stopping. I have the C2K app and have started a few times. Tomorrow I start back at Week 1, Day 1 again. I'd start…

I LOVE the whole 'Just For Today' idea. I know I'm late to the party, but I'd like to be here and soak in all your cool inspiration and energy, if I may. So.....in the spirit of things......just for today....... 1. Drinking my water 2. Honest tracking 3. Work on my writing - timer for 30 mins at some point today.

I'm going to give it a go. Not sure how realistic it is for me for a month, but we'll see. Starting weight: 274 Goal weight: 260.3 Tuesday 1st: 274 Tuesday 8th: Tuesday 15th: Tuesday 22nd: Tuesday 29th: What can I improve on? Honest tracking, intentional movement every day, water goals.

Hi there. Do you think this group is still going? Perhaps not. I find that I'm eating to accommodate every emotion, not just the good ones, or the bad ones, but ALL of them!! lol When I'm bored, when I'm happy, when I'm lonely,....and on and on. Am trying to pull out handwork projects or writing projects to get my mind…

Hey! Awesome group. New member here (well, new to posting, been lurking in the shadows and off and on MFP) Today: Calorie Goal: Carb Goal: (that's been my tricky combo in the past, great on keeping it low carb but piling on the calories so not much weight down - working on balancing that out!) Exercise Goal: (Evening swim…

Hey! I just discovered that myself. I found myself at my highest weight once again, and that was my starting weight on MFP EIGHT years ago. So disheartening. But here I am again. Starting at ground zero. Glad you're back too. We GOT THIS!!!

Hey! Awesome group. Add me!!!

I see that I've missed the deadline. I will definitely keep my eyes open at the last week of Feb for the March challenge. I would love to join this. Kudos to everyone involved!!!

Anyone still looking to add another friend?? I've been on and off for some time. Trying again. Trying a new approach and adding consistent exercise, which I never have done before. Hoping that's what helps me this time. If anyone is interested in a new friend. Add me. My two boys are young adults now. Working on self-care.…

I'm not sure if we decided we were starting a group or if we were to be posting/sharing as we go?? Obviously this is a very popular idea and I'd like to follow everyone listed here. Should I just do that? Go ahead and add everyone to my friends list? Or how does this work?

I totally want to be in your club!! Secret handshake and all!!! I'm having some trouble out of the gate. It's consistency that is killing any momentum. I am good for a bit, but then fall off the wagon. Maybe having this tangible goal will help keep things in perspective. My actual desire would be to lose 50 by then, but…

Thanks all. Looking at all your profiles, so inspirational. If I look at the scale this morning, I'm not doing so well, but fortunately my big goal was just to post things and keep it real. So, in that respect, it's a good start. Thanks again for the adds. I'm looking forward to the journey with some awesome new peeps!!

Is it too late to add my name to that list?? I've been wanting to get back into running....it's been quite a while. I can do it on Mon, Wed and Friday nites after work because my son goes elsewhere those nights. When I used to run before, everything used to have to be perfect,...like I couldn't run without music (so I…

Congratulations! Confession: Your pics brought tears to my eyes because what you have accomplished is something that my sister and I talk about all the time. 'wouldn't it be nice if the next time we're in a wedding we could look like....?' or 'someday I WILL wear a strapless dress again'. You did it. How awesome are you!…

Happy Sunday All.... I'm at C1D7. I haven't weighed this weekend because the scale I'm using is at work (I work at a doctor's office). I really am so pleased with how things are going. To be honest I was so skeptical. I have had so many 'starts' and end up feeling so deprived and drained of energy that I very quickly 'jump…

Congratulations!!! That's why I love this site....For you who are 'getting it done'...you can share with a whole community who is quick with support and encouragement. For those of us who think 'Wow...a 2-digit number that's more than just water weight loss'....it's such an inspiration and a voice that says 'just keep…

:happy: Hey All! Just wanted to add my little bit. My sister and I started this diet 5 days ago. I haven't bought the book yet, she has the copy between us (but she lives 2,000 miles away - we text and call A LOT!!!) So I'm on C1D5 and I'm down 6 pounds. The reasons this diet appealed to me is that I have found that…

Oh my gosh!! I am soooo on this. I haven't tried it before, but am totally up for the challenge. Count me in. I definitely could use something late at night to get my head into something other than some crunch snack! Lots of writing/ideas started around the house. Now I know I'm not the only one! Very excited!!! :laugh:…

This is an awesome idea!! You guys all look fantastic. I'm still at the beginning of this journey, so I don't have any Before and After's yet. All I have is 'Presently at' ....lol Thanks to all of you for sharing. Miss Pamyla

Thanks Jenny.... I am so frigging proud of myself tonight!! lol........... I bypassed pizza and wings I bought for my boys for supper tonight. I didn't want to pat myself on the back until I'd made it through the whole evening. Now it's all gone....the boys are satisfied and I'm feeling great about my fish for supper. I…

I'm from just outside of Hamilton Ontario..... :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: Just what I was looking for...... I was hoping to find a group that I could belong to. Hope that's ok to start now. I've been on MFP for a while now, but only recently came back to it. My sister and I are trying to lose together. She's lost quite a bit more than I have, but I'm determined to keep going.…

I do love my meat, and my bread and my cheese melted over everything!! lol....which is what has gotten me into this mess. Now my health is at risk, so I'm looking for something that will be a sort of detox but still give me some volume, enough to keep me going through the day. I may try it for a short period just to see…

Thank you so much for the tip. I tried to find her but it says 'purrr' account is deactivated. Is she under a different user name perhaps???

:ohwell: My biggest problem dieting is actually paying attention to what I'm eating. I come from a family of 'grazers'. We've all done it for years...from Grandma having to always have a cookie with her tea, to Mom with her before bed snacks...or picking at the cookie package.....to me who finds the most challenging part…
