[/quote] I just have all the confidence that you will succeed! Having such a down to earth realistic approach is so key to long term success (I’ve found) for me, it helps my headspace which in turn contributes to my continued success. I love that you’re not counting those weeks as 1lb loss weeks! It’s such a smart way to…

Haha I still have my step in my closet and was just talking to my husband about whether I should get rid of it. Boy what a blast from the past. I used to be obsessed with the Firm and had tons of their videos. I used to also have Kelli Roberts Ultimate Step and loved it. However, I got my start with Cher's step workout.…

I have 9 months until my 50th and about 40-45 pounds to lose. I started on August 1st and have lost 10 pounds so far. I'm taking it very slowly so I don't crash and burn and gain it all back. My next goal is 10 pounds by the end of the year. I am very low maintenance and just want to be fit and healthy. I'm dealing with…

Losing 10 pounds by Christmas. It doesn't sound like much, but I just lost my first 10 pounds (started 8/1) and I have calculated a pound a week between now and Christmas that doesn't include Thanksgiving week, Christmas week, or the mini vacation my DH and I have planned in October. I'm trying to approach this very…

Here's my final weigh-in: SW: - 168.5 7/26 - 168.7 8/2 - 169 8/9 - 167.8 8/16 - 162.5 8/23 - 166.1 8/30 -166.7 Yep. Somehow I've gone up since last week. So while I'm disappointed that I didn't come close to my initial goal, I'm ok that at least I lost a little bit. I was 170 lbs. on August 1st so I've made some strides. I…

Here's my weekly weigh-in: SW: - 168.5 7/26 - 168.7 8/2 - 169 8/9 - 167.8 8/16 - 162.5 8/23 - 166.1 8/30 - Ugh the scale was not my friend this morning. I knew I'd be up from last week because I'm actually eating again, but it really went up. I contribute that to an over indulgence of my husband's delicious pasta last…

Here's my weekly weigh-in: SW: - 168.5 7/26 - 168.7 8/2 - 169 8/9 - 167.8 8/16 - 162.5 8/23 - 8/30 - I've dropped quite a bit. Normally I would be happy but it is because I'm so depressed and not eating. I'm having a tough time dealing with my Mom's death. Some days are good, others not so much. I'm sorry I haven't been…

Hang in there SuzOh. I'm sorry about your shoulder. Injuries stink but especially when you are trying so hard to make things happen. Here's my weekly weigh-in: SW: - 168.5 7/26 - 168.7 8/2 - 169 8/9 - 167.8 8/16 - 8/23 - 8/30 - After going up last week, the scale is finally coming down. I have worked darn hard at it this…

I weigh daily. I have a Fitbit scale so it automatically syncs the info to my app. I have an official weigh-in on Fridays here on MFP. It helps keep me on the right path.

I'm actually excited for tomorrow's weigh-in. I think I'll see a loss. I've already told hubby we have to have a very healthy dinner tonight because I have to log my weight tomorrow. :)

Hope the neck soreness goes away quickly. They are the worst. I'm feeling good about the challenge so far. I've been hitting my goals as far as walking/running and I'm sticking to 1500 or less calories a day. I hate that I initially put on two pounds that I've had to fight to get off but at least now I'm under the weight I…

The same thing happened to me too. I went up by about 2 pounds at first too. Just keep at it. There really is no other option. Good luck! You got this.

SuzOh, can you fix my starting weight. I cut and pasted last week and obviously was trying to do too many things at once because my weight wasn't right. Here is the correct information: SW: - 168.5 7/26 - 168.7 8/2 - 169 8/9 - 8/16 - 8/23 - 8/30 - So today was my one week weigh-in. I went up by a half a pound and I'm ok…

My breakfast lately is to sauté spinach, scramble two eggs in it and top with feta cheese.

Feel free to add me. I’m 46 and trying to work on my health to help me with deal with losing my Mom in May. I understand grief.

Well yesterday was a mixed bag of success and not so much. I dutifully pre-logged all of the day's calories and planned to do a 3.5 mile walk after work. So we get a heck of a storm that lasts all evening and knocks out our power. I was not able to get my walk in BUT I did manage to do all 11,500 steps. As the evening went…

I would love to join. I'm 48 and am over any kind of fad diet. I technically have 50 lbs. to lose but I'm only 5'1".

Feel free to add me. I'm 48, 5'1" and 171 lbs. I've been on this roller coaster before and am determined that this time is it.

Florida Native here. I'm 48 and looking to lose 48. Welcome!

Feel free to add me. I'm trying to change my way of eating for good and to make exercise a consistent part of my life. I love experimenting with recipes and trying new things. If you haven't already, check out skinnytaste.com She has great recipes for just about every kind of eater.

Feel free to add me Cindy. I'm 48, 5'1" and 271 lbs. Looking to lose 40 lbs. and change my way of eating forever.

Congratulations on your loss so far. I'm looking to lose 40 lbs and change my eating habits forever. Feel free to add me. :)

Feel free to add me. I’m starting again after a difficult year and am determined to do it this time.

I feel ya. I'm the heaviest I've ever been and determined to make a change. I'm 48 yrs old and need to lose 40 lbs. It's not a good look on this 5'1" frame, not to mention being bad for my health. Friend me if you want and we can encourage each other.

Those are the choices I struggle with too. I know what I need to do. It's the actual doing it part that I have a hard time with. I did pretty well this weekend as far as logging everything and not indulging too much. I went for a long walk on Saturday, which felt really good. I ended up not walking Sunday or yesterday (but…

Sorry you are right. It is from today.

Happy Friday! I usually weigh-in on Fridays so here goes. SW: - 185.5 7/26 - 185.7 8/2 - 8/9 - 8/16 - 8/23 - 8/30 - I'm so disappointed that I actually went up. I'm not sure why. I have a slight peanut butter addiction that may have played a role. :) Anyway, I'll keep logging and walking and see what next week brings. My…

By any chance does anyone use Fitbit? If so, and you would like to be friends let me know. Thanks. Most of my current Fitbit friends have dropped off the radar.

I'd like to join. I've had an incredibly difficult year and am trying very hard to focus on my health and weight again. I'm 5'1", 48 yrs. and currently weigh 168.5. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself so my goal is to log my calories everyday and stay between 1300-1500, and walk at least 4x a week. I'd like to…

Salad kits. I'm in love with Salad Express Pear Gorgonzola kit. The whole bag with dressing and walnuts is only 250 calories. I add some grilled chicken and it makes a perfect lunch. I am also really digging the strawberry spinach kit from Fresh Express right now. That's lunch for today.
