Been gone for several months :(
No excuses. Just lost track and while doing so gained several pounds back. 12 or so. Now here I am again wondering how to get going. I know I need to and I know I want to but convincing my mind and body to go with me is another thing. Please let me figure all this out again so I can lose the weight I need to. Even having…

Did it again :(
Well, I strayed once again and now I'm going to have to step it up again. I get so wrapped up in everything that has to be done and stressing about work, home, family, etc...I just let myself go. I have realized in doing this that I could VERY easily go right back into the old habits I had before. I don't know that I'll…

Walking!!!!
I have went and walked at the park everyday this week! It takes a little over 3 laps to make a mile and I've done 4 everyday except for today. Today I walked 7!!!! Woohoo! 2 Miles! now I know that 2 miles walking might seem like chicken feed to most of you but to me it might as well be the 500 yard dash.. A year ago I…

What's with the Sodium? :(
I have to take my boys to the dentist tonight and we'll have to eat out instead of at home. I figured we would hit McDonald's or Wendy's since I know the boys will want to go to one of those places. I decided to be proactive about it and go check out the nutrition guidelines and choose something within my calories. Well, I…

I just found out today that they community center about 6 miles from where I live has a small building with excercise equipment in it that they let people use for a minimal fee. LOVE IT!!! Now if I can just…

1 year ago today
I started with MFP and boy am I ever glad that I did. At the time that I started I was at my heaviest weight ever and was in a spiral toward some severe medical problems. I had been told I had high blood pressure for the first time in my life and I was dealing with what I would call depression about my situation. I decided…

Oh I SUCK!!!
I have just been struggling so bad for the last few weeks. I normally have such good sense about myself when I'm trying to lose weight. I have just lost my focus. I know what I want but my 'emotional eating' gets the best of me. Stress, boredom, tiredness, all those things just make me want to EAT. I know I shouldn't and I…

I'm excited!
I finally got my wedding set that DH bought me back on my finger this morning.:happy: This is the first time I've been able to wear it in close to 8 years. It slid right on and is now kind of loose on my finger. It's a size 7. For me that's HUGE because the band I was wearing prior to losing weight was a size 9 and was…

Oh I've been bad today
I don't know what's come over me. I have done so good for so long and the last few weeks I have just wanted to eat everything in sight. I do the whole "in moderation" thing so I'm not depriving myself but I've completely gone off the deepend. I have still managed to continue losing but I know I could do better. Today…

Going to be a long weekend
We are taking our final camping trip of the year this weekend and I'm sure it's not going to be pretty. We are going with 3 different families that I work with and my cousins family. It always turns into an eating fest and I'm hoping to be good. I just hope we have nice weather so I can get a few walks in and work some of…

Making the right choices.
Today we are having a party for a guy that was let go last week due to a "reduction in force". He's been with our company for 17 years and I have worked with him for 8 of those. He was told on Thursday that his last day would be Friday so we couldn't pull a party together that quick. Anyway, for the last several years when…

Finally
I finally got past the 300 mark far enough to where I don't think I'll go back over. I weighed in this morning at 295 and have been fighting with 4 or 5 pounds for the last 3 weeks. I'm so excited. 4.8 pounds down from last Friday and I'm SO HAPPY!!!!!

Halfway to Halfway!
I'm feeling really good about my progress so far. I have made it half way to half of my goal weight loss. In the beginning I wondered how I would ever do this but with the encouragement of my family and from reading all the posts here I have pulled through. Now it's not so hard to watch my calorie intake and most of the…

Moving on UP (or down) LOL

My second was 40 by Memorial Day and I missed it by 3 pounds but have now reached it. I'm so excited. Now to make it to 50 pounds lost by…
