Happy Saturday!
It's warm and sunny here today. We stayed out super late last night/this morning, and accidentally slept really late into the day. Yesterday was definitely another splurge day, but now it's back to normal until the wedding next Saturday. I'm trying to figure something out for Mother's Day, I was going to go see my mom the day of, but her work decided to do 2 "Friends & Family" events in a row, for two Sundays in a row, so now they're having the moms work til 10:00 p.m. on Mother's Day. They get worse and worse as a company every year.
I've drank 3 cups of water in the last hour, and finishing off by 18g protein bar, then off to the gym! I'm hoping with the normal week ahead of me I'll feel in tip-top shape for the weekend! Monthly bloat is coming on but that should be gone by then too.
Hope everyone has a successful day!

I will be shopping and doing laundry today.
Have a great weekend .
Connie enjoy your massage.
Beautiful day!!!

Can I trade you places? I hate laundry and I hate shopping but it is better than hanging out at the high school auditorium sewing ballet costumes.

Has anyone signed on for the "premium" version of MFP??0
-
what is the "premium" version"?0
-
I didn't know there was a premium version of MFP. I hope that doesn't mean they're going to charge for this one day, or cut down on our features.0
-
Ray/Steph...On the home page task bar, bottom line, last option to click is premium. It's enhanced features on this site..no ads and other stuff. The cost is 9.99 per month or 49.00 a year. When you click it on, it gives an explanation of features and gives you the opportunity to upgrade.0

Happy Sunday, Everyone!
Esther, GREAT job on nearly 50 lbs!! Woot!
Marie, I hope you're feeling better today. :-)
Shirley, SUPER news from the doctor and your grandson is so cute. LOVE chubby baby cheeks.
Ray, you plant seed potatoes that you've quartered in bales of straw that you have either conditioned to break down or that have been outside for a year. That prevents them from composting while the potatoes are trying to grow (which creates way too much heat to allow something to grow). This is our second year of having the raised bed surrounded by straw bales. So, I'll let you all know how it goes!
Well, yesterday was a blown day due to an early Mother's Day/Birthday celebration with our kids and grandbabies. It was a wine pairing and finger food theme. I only had one or two bites of each appetizer, but that with the wine was definitely not in the weight loss theme. LOL So, the scale was up today. Back on track today and I'll hope for some loss to report on this challenge! I'm at +3 for the month of April. Hrumph.
I'm not sure what to follow right now for eating. The LCHF keeps me very satisfied with low quantity of food, but the scale isn't moving downward. The green smoothies helped me lose a little weight, but my BF% went up and I felt hungry and lightheaded/shakey through the day. Just basic calorie counting at 1300 calories didn't move the scale too much either. Feeling a bit lost as to which direction to head...
I see my doctor for my yearly check up at the end of June and I REALLY want to be down at least another 10 lb, but I don't think that will happen in 6 weeks. :-(
For those of you who were in the 170s and lost weight at a decent rate, what worked for you? I'd love to hear!
Have a great day today!

I started weight loss @162 lbs three years ago. Just calories in and calories out. Watching my portions and exercising a lot. I have lost 29 lbs in that time. I did not gain it overnight so I wanted to lose it slowly.
Just trying to change my lifestyle and old habits.
Good luck. You can do this.0 -

Morning,
Another beautiful day. Just stripped the sheets and washing them today. Dave is already at the boat and
going to wax the bottom so hopefully we can get it in the water next week. That is when I will come down
and clean the inside and get organized for the sailing season.
Yesterday I skipped exercise but will do it today instead. We went to a micro brewery beer fest yesterday.
Not exactly a calorie counting day. They gave you a little glass and you could sample 3 beers. It probably added
up to one whole beer by the time you were done. They had food trucks but stayed away from that.
Not too many gray hairs there lots of young people.
Well today back on track, the past two days the scale has been up, have to get serious now.
My daughter is having her Isaac time this weekend. Time with Auntie.
Enjoy the day!

@tenpets I started at 184 and I'm in the 140's now. The method I've used it Calories-In Calories-Out. I haven't restricted what foods I can and cannot eat. I have sweet and salty things every day, and I like to try new things sometimes. Like yesterday I put together some pita bread and roasted vegetable cream cheese and topped it with mixed greens and cracked pepper. It was under 300 calories for two of them. Just try to mix it up. Of course the more veggies involved the higher volume of food you get to eat. Stick to your calorie deficit and you will see results eventually, it just takes a lot of patience sometimes. 0

Thanks, Ray. How long has it been since you were at 184?

Hi gang. Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I read posts but was too tired to respond. I swam for an hour before I spent 6 hours at ballet rehearsal working on costumes. After that my family went to church then we went to the traveling carnival. Friday I walked around a lake with the hubby and dogs. Made a batch of cookies into balls and froze them so I can bake them fresh for the ballet performance on Friday. Now we are back at the carnival. My littlest one got hungry so we are sitting in McDonald's (either that or corndogs
what a choice). I just had a sundae. I am less than 2000 steps from finally breaking 10000. Can't wait to see how I feel in the morning from walking this much. But it is SO worth it. Kids are having a total BLAST!!!!!!!!
