Hello, and some Feedback?

Hi all,

I think I've opened my diary properly. I've been using MFP along with my Fitbit and Aria scale for a few weeks -- since the end of February or so.

I'm 37, I have five kids, I'm 5'8" and currently weigh 160 pounds. I'd like to eventually get down to 140, but I'm working in small 5 pound goals, because I like the small wins. :-)

I've been weighing and measuring foods lately, just to get a better idea of proper portion sizes, which I find helpful. I log everything. I regularly hit my 10,000 steps, and often hit significantly more (I'm at 17,300 today, for example). And I feel the weight is veeeerrrrry slow in coming off -- and there are plenty of days when it creeps up! SO frustrating.

Would love any feedback.

(You'll note that I don't log most Saturdays, because I'm offline for Shabbat. I am pretty careful about what I eat then, and I find it hard believe that even if I went absolutely crazy every single Saturday (I don't), that would be enough to derail me. Am I wrong?)

Anyway, thanks for any insight!

Best,
Abbi
