Challenges are the spice that makes life zing!
@Lagopus I know you will have a great time together. I look forward to reading about it!
Dare to be YOU! Welcome Newbies!
Having daily goals helps me stay on track. "The accountability of posting here keeps me on the straight and narrow. I can always find excuses in my head, but somehow, they just don't cut it when I see them in black and white on the page."

- Not exceed my calorie goal, for food
- At drinks tonight, only drink slimline G&Ts - maximum 3 (taking me max 150 calories over my limit)
Managed to do these, even though I was hungry!
Also persuaded my friend that I went for drinks with to download MFP - we can be buddies and support each other now.
Today's commitment -
- Go to gym after work
- Finish day with 350+ calorie deficit (after including gym calories)
-
Met both of my targets, and actually smashed the second one to the point where MFP told me I wasn't eating enough! (That's never happened before when I've not forgotten to log something)
Didn't actually feel hungry though despite the deficit, which is encouraging. I won't have that deficit on any other days this week:
Today going to my friend's for dinner which will make it difficult to stay within calorie limit - the food is generally not healthy and lots of wine is normally involved.
However, will set the following targets to keep the indulgence down:
- I'll log the dinner, even if I am not exactly sure what's in it
- I'll make sure I don't eat more main course than others - no second!
- If dessert is one where we choose portion size, I'll have a small portion
- I'll drink as much diet lemonade as I do wine to keep my appetite under control - and will limit wine to half a bottle MAX
Hmm, so I managed two of these, I'd say - two of these, though probably wasn't really down to my efforts as opposed to my friends giving me a plate with a small portion size!
Failed on the other two though - had an entire bottle of wine + double g&t, and failed to log any of the calories. It had been a very bad day so i don't feel too bad about it, however I have to make sure this doesn't happen too often - bad days will happen and I need to learn to deal with them without turning to alcohol/food.
Today's commitment is very simple: come in within calorie goal!
Met my goal, came in with zero calories left! I was very hungry though - made me realise that I need to optimise the foods I eat to be fuller - had eaten quite calorie dense but non-filling foods.
I'm now staying with my boyfriend in Madrid for the weekend so control will be hard - we'll be eating out a bit and don't have a scale in the flat for weighing ingredients. Nonetheless, I'll:
- Log all the foods I eat, even if I'm not sure I'm being accurate - better to put something than not bother at all
- not snack outside meals
- at meals, go for 'healthy options' - or if i want to go for 'non-healthy options' have small portions
- keep alcohol and milky coffees to a minimum - no more than one coffee per day and order wine by glass (with as much water drunk as wine)
Will be hard as i like to eat on holiday... will see how i do!

This is a great idea! I have Fridays off, so it's always a difficult day for me to stay motivated. Therefore, today I will:
- Do my C25K for the second time this week Been focusing too much on weight training.
- Log all my food, and stay in a deficit.
- Do some yoga, at least a 15 minute video. All the weight training is making me a little stiff and sore.
1 - Do my C25K for the second time this week

Good morning all! Today I will:
1. Eat healthy foods, stay within my calorie budget, and log everything I put in my mouth.
2. Drink at least 64 oz of water.
3. Get my 15,000 steps in by walking outside, despite 90+ degree heat today.
Got to work on setting other personal goals for the day, such as housework chores. There never seems to be enough hours in the day when working outside the home. Leaves me with having to choose between chores and exercise. End up feeling guilty when I focus on myself with the exercise.2 -

I use 15 minute bursts for housework. It's amazing what you can do in 15 minutes!

Will be hard as i like to eat on holiday... will see how i do!
I met all these apart from the not snacking outside meals - we had a couple of pre-dinner drinks and in Madrid they always bring you snacks (crisps/olives) with them. I didn't have loads but did have more than I should have.
Other than that I met them all though. I ended up going 500 cals over, though I'm not sure that's correct, I ate (maybe - not sure) 400g of bread and MFP has said that's nearly 1000 kcal?!
That seems way too high, however just in case i will try to steer clear of the bread today and eat other things instead! Very hard to track when away, you just don't know how many calories you're eating....
