Worst Day
So I have been diligent since December 1/13 - just shy of a pound a week, slow and steady making sure I stay on track this time. I started tracking again on MFP three weeks ago and was feeling pretty good. Almost 30 pounds gone and I need a new outfit for my son's grad. Let's go shopping!! Biggest disappointment ever. The…

Killed it!
bahahahaha! More like killed me! I've been creeping all the 30 DS threads and thought I can do that. Well, 1st day done and I am confident in saying Jillian kicked my butt! I certainly couldn't. I'm just wondering if it is this difficult for everyone. I'm not disheartened, just astonished at how truly out of shape I am…

In our thoughts and prayers
I'm not new here, but this forum is usually always in the fore front - I just wanted to let any of our MFP members in the Boston area know that they are in my thoughts and prayers.

Well that was a depressing way to start the day
So, now I know why I was putting off doing my measurements! Even though I weigh what I did in May of last year, my measurements are up, :grumble: . No surprises really, just means I have to try to get some more movement in regardless of this crumbling body. Even though I knew what they would be, standing in front of that…

Never thought I would do it!
I'm married to an amazing, amazing man! I could literally weigh 800 lbs and he would love me no matter what. We celebrated our 25th Christmas together this year and in all that time he has NEVER known how much I weighed, not when I was thin and certainly not now....until today. He made sure the boys and he are on board…

Good Jump Start!
Week One Done! I'm down 10 lbs - crazy. I'm trying to picture a large bag of potatoes on my butt, 'cause that's what it equals! Hope everyone has a great weigh-in and a great week! :bigsmile:

I didn't realize....
I was playing around with my food diary and decided to add the sodium tracker - EEK! I did not realize there was soooo much sodium in - Fat Free cottage cheese (even though it is a great source of protein) Quaker Rice Cake Minis Black Diamond Fat Free Cheddar Slices Light Peanut Butter Source Yogurt Still healthier choices…

Worse than I thought.....
So I always knew I needed to lose weight, but never thought it was thaaat bad, I'm big boned, fairly tall and I carry it better than the next person......right? WRONG! I managed to take some "before" pics on my phone (I still have to figure out how to download and post them) Needless to say, if that isn't motivation I…

I'm definitely losing it!
Not the weight that is, my mind! I posted that I was turning 50 this year and just now I realized my profile said I was 48 and I wanted to change it to 49. Then it dawned on me that I AM 48!!!! Bahahahahahaha - I just gained another year!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Finally something worthwhile on Facebook
A friend of mine posted this on my Facebook. She thought it would keep me motivated and I thought I would share it - it definitely won't hurt! “Life by the yard is hard; by the inch it’s a cinch. Decisions Determine Destiny.” — Thomas S. Monson Many people agree that the key to successful change is to set realistic goals…

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Everyone! While I know some people don't like the idea of starting this on New Year's Day, I like the idea of having a clean slate so to speak. I actually have "started" several times and while I am still better off than at the very beginning, I still have so far to go. I initially joined in May weighing…

Just saying Hi......again
I had lost a good portion of the weight I wanted and slowly it has crept back on. All the usual excuses, stress, emotional eater. I know all the right things to do and not to do but obviously chose the latter. I've had to go back to work full time for financial reasons and thought this could be a fresh start for my…

Is this the norm?
Hi, just started here and was checking out the threads and have a couple of questions. There is a very diverse range of members and strategies to losing weight on here. Some info looks to be great and some look "quick fix" for lack of a better description. All those things that didn't work in the past and have brought me…
