3/1: 4.57 3/3: 5.00 Total: 9.57 Goal: 50+

Hi, my name is Jaye. I am 35 years old. I live in Buffalo NY. I lost 60 pounds about a year and a half ago and gained back 40. I'm here to lose the weight for good this time in 2016 because this is my year. I started at about 260 (probably a bit more) and right now hovering around 240. I started a DietBet on January 4th,…

I'm in if you are!

One of these days i'll get on the top 25. Great job everyone!

I'm looking for new Garmin connect friends too. My name is same as here: paddgirl21

See answers above. Nice to be here!

I'm interested!

amazing work. I need to add strength to my regime and recently started. 3x's a week sounds like an achieveable goal.... weight lifting wise. Keep up the amazing work!

i was going to suggest the same

I totally agree. Thank you!

I have had something similar to this happen recently. I posted a picture of me on facebook and how I lost 10 pants sizes. Immediately I have people who I am about to unfriend, saying, "Great job! If you need help, ask me how! I can help". All the meantime they are just trying to sell you their baloney product. Exercise and…

Such an awesome story! Congratulations :-)

:-) Doing great! So glad to be your MFP Friend. :happy:

i didn't have weights when i was younger and as crazy as it sounds, i would go around finding heavy things to lift and do different things with (while making sure not to hurt myself). I would life cinder blocks, wood, tires, basically anything I could find. It worked great. Get creative. put cans in a pillow case (or…

Inspiring! :-) Thank you for posting this.

I live in upstate too (buffalo). I may be a bit older than you (32) but we do have similar goals. :-) Feel free to friend request me!

I live right outside Buffalo in one of the surrounding 'burbs. Feel free to add me as well! :-D local support is great!

Yes! Love it!

I have had this problem however, I guess I don't seem to have an emotional attachment to food. Mine has always been alcohol. If we are out and about, alcohol will be the problem and not the food aspect. However, maybe you need to see that maybe there are some unhealthy thoughts ABOUT food in your world. If I went to a…

This is very inspirational and something I needed to read today. Thank you very much! :-D I will keep going, one step at a time, one foot in front of the other and get this done. Keep on trucking!

Wow! Just wow. I have no words except to say I definitely needed to read this today and thank you for posting. You are TRULY an inspiration and it gives me no excuse to not go and do my workout today, tomorrow, or the next day. :-) Keep on trucking!

Sure can! Just had almost a foot down in ski country near Buffalo. :-) the skiiers can't wait to get out there!

Ellicotville, NY--they just opened their slopes for the season. :-)

I would like to join for the month of December as I already have a group for November. LIke yourself it is hard to find individuals who are willing to participate for the entire month. I am always commenting and hoping others do too. Let me know if I can join in and will be sure to be active for the upcoming month!

I love the unsweetened stuff. I have been drinking it with things (not on it's own) for about 4 months now. During this time we ran out of it and I had to drink regular milk with my smoothie and with my cereal AND BOY DID I MISS MY ALMOND MILK. The unsweetened stuff allows me to ENJOY the food it is with and not overpower…

I've lost my weight primarily from weighing my foods. This was so I could not only count my calories correctly, but also so as time goes on, I will get to know how much I am eating without having to weigh my food. I have to retrain my brain essentially. When I wasn't weighing my food, I was eating more than I thought I was…

My weight loss has come from watching what I eat and walking--but as a disclaimer--i did buy a heart rate monitor which more precisely calculates calories burned than MFP. Due to this little miracle device, it has helped me lose about 10 pounds a month. Very awesome. Without it, i was losing a lot slower because MFP would…

Not far from me!! I'm in the Buffalo, NY area!

Very happy to see you stepped up and got to it. We all need to hear stories like this because I know there are plenty of times I don't want to get up on that treadmill, but I lace up my shoes and say what the heck. I feel better afterwards as well. Keep up the good work!

Hello, all! I'm 32 and looking to make friends with similar goals. I have lost 30 pounds so far with an ultimate weight loss of 110. Can't wait to meet everyone!
