This group is for those dealing with the challenges of being fit when you have a significant amount of weight to lose which becomes harder after age 40. If you're an old or new friend and not over 40 and feel this is the place to post, jump right in.

Way late starting this thread! I am trying hard. I did eat bad at Bunco last night. I am proud to say I skipped dessert at church and at Bunco. I am drinking water only. Baby steps!
Going to eat out sat and sunday. Sunday will be pop because I am in control of where we eat.
What is everyone up to?
I'm ready for cooler weather!!

Hi ladies,
I'm new here. I have been struggling so bad trying to lose any amount of weight. It feels like my body just doesn't want to budge like it used to. It used to be I could cut calories for a couple of days and see weight come off, but not now. It's frustrating to me. Today is a new day and I think I'm going to have to be stricter then I've ever been to get the ball rolling this time.

I am half a$$ing it. I need to get with it. Scales are yo-yo-ing the same 5-6 lbs.
grocery shopping in a bit. Hopefully I will be stronger with healthy food in the house. Part of my problem is I'm lazy and don't cook enough.

Not doing well here either. I think my mojo took off on vacation.

[dgramie]

I have been doing great after a couple of bad rounds of IBS. I know what it takes to settle it down. Isn't it amazing all it takes is not to eat crisp and avoid a few simple item.
I do have plans to eat out sat. I am doing a cheat meal a week. It's the only way to keep hubby on plan.

My mojo didn't take a vacation - I think it retired. It's back - today is day 17 POP. I've recorded every bite and swam 3 days last week. Only problem is I haven't lost at least 25 lbs yet - HUH?

Let's do this!

[j-ann]

Holy Crap! It's Carol!!!!! HI!

You'll lose the 25 lbs by the end of next week.

Glad you are doing so well. I need inspiration.

Missed you.

[gggirls]

Thanks Judy - was just too embarrassed to show my face.

[j-ann]

We've all been there.
Just gotta keep trying.

[dgramie]

Fighting thru a hungry day. I'm winning. Got a healthy dinner cooking.

[j-ann]

I've been stressed, car problems, the last 3 days. If nothing else it's kept me under my points for the last 3 days.

[dgramie]

Hope you get car straightened out soon. Got pork chops in the crockpot.
First rainy day here in over 6 wks.
So ready to have 20lbs off lol

Hello Ladies! Not sure if you guys remember me or not but it has been years since I have been here and boy do I need help! I have gained (Gulp) 99 pounds back after losing 299!!! I'm still down 200 pounds but I am in holy terror over those 99!

I have completely stopped exercising since I was rear ended 2 times in less than 3 months. I am having to have shots in my spine every month and last month they said I need surgery on my back. I can't allow myself to have the pain relieving surgery until I get most of this 99 pounds off so I really hope I can come back here and be accountable.

I'm miserable and so very sad about my body and what I worked so hard for coming back on me. I'm very blessed to see Dgramie and Carol because I know you two ladies and well, I can't wait to meet the rest of you!

Blessings to you guys and thanks for listening. If my tracker shows different I will fix it next time I come in. It is 48 pounds wrong!

Greetings dogpal, Sure looks like you worked a miracle on yourself once soooo-
you know can do it again! Just a thought: Perhaps getting the surgery done sooner will help you start moving more. We'll all do what we can to help you stay motivated and lose that regain!

I had another POP day yesterday. 3 in a row. Hope I'm on a roll.
