Daily check-in
Replies

Hi all, I'm new here (under this username). I used MFP to lose 60lbs after having my fourth child and am now using it to get back down where I was a few months ago. Currently I'm at 161 and my goal is 145-140 (depends). I was at 150 about 3 months ago but after two moves and a new job my gym routine went to nil.
My name is Caroline and I'm 26 years old, married, mom to four. I work full time (and then some). I live in Georgia.
Anyways, back on the wagon!0 -
Just attended a group fitness class that was really tough! Looking forward to starting this journey. Gotta stay away from those cookies. . .0

Signed up for some DietBets last night/this morning. It's not something I would usually do, but my inhibitions were somewhat diminished thanks to an essay-writing allnighter. I'm excited about it, though. I'm doing a few short term challenges that will get me to graduation, and a longer one that will get me to my goal wait!
Now I will have the proper motivation to shed these vanity pounds so that I don't lose my money!
(let me know if you want to know which games I'm in - I can link you and we can tag team the thing! )
Edit: Freudian typo0 -
I like the idea as well for a daily checkin. That way I can log food and check in at the same time

Just checking in! It was a good week until yesterday. I ate out, got 3 courses and way too much wine! I won't be doing that again anytime soon! Back on track today. I went a little over my calories but not too much0

Daily check in is a great idea! As long as there is a new thread for each day once this actually gets going on the 6th. Otherwise it's WAY too hard to look through and keep up with how everyone is doing; especially since there's so many in this group! I hope everyone in here reaches his or her goal!0

I ate out today hubby wanted to go for a greasy spoon bfast and they didn't have any seniors (healthier portion size) or healthy meals. So I got the smallest meal and gave two pieces of the bacon to my hubs, left two pieces of toast, and a bit of potatoes. Still feel full though!
Started c25k today which was great!!
I can't seem to add my name to the spreadsheet from my iPad....

in my area brocolli is available far away like 40 mins drive , if i buy broccoli for 10 days and freeze it , will this work ?? please do comment
Of course you can freeze broccoli! I actually find it helpful to freeze a lot of my veggies when I know they're starting to go bad, then I just stir fry them when I'm ready0 -
Today, I ate well over my calorie goal... but I feel OK about it! Tomorrow, I start a new phase of calorie deficit so I know that I'll make up for it. Moreover, I feel good about feeling OK, because part of the journey is improving my relationship with food, and there have been too many times when I let eating wreck my sense of self-worth.
One day at a time!0 -
Retired on Friday! So, needless to say this weekend has been a Celebration Weekend! I did get all my walking - 11.68 miles yesterday and 8.13 miles today - done along with another challenge. Tomorrow I will be back on track and figuring out what retired ladies do!
I'm making a new chicken chilli tonight. Smells good...hope it tastes good...I'll soon find out. First I'll test it on my DH and see what happens. Although, I don't know if that's such a good test as the man will eat just about anything. We'll see.

Hey guys! Checking in...I just (re)started a week ago, and I'm already down 6 pounds! I know, I know, it's mostly just water weight, but it's still encouraging! Now I just have to stick with it. One day at a time!0

Had a good weekend, despite the busy schedule. Weighed in today with almost 3 pounds lost in the first week (back at it!). I'll take it!0

Hey everyone! I've been on a weight rollercoaster for over 13 years now (I'm 33). It's time for it to be real now. I'm down about 9 lbs in the last couple of weeks and I already feel so much better! I've got about 96 more pounds to go! Excited for this challenge!0

Resisting the Easter chocolate temptations, and I'm feeling really good about it. There will be time for that when it fits better into my goals, but for now I want to focus on eating food that I love AND that makes me feel good!0

Hey glad to see this group is still active - somehow I lost the link and couldn't find you guys - glad to be back again. no change in weight I need y'all to motivate me!0

One more week until this group starts! Good luck everyone!0

I was hoping that someone can help me with some confusion I am having about the spreadsheet. Will be weighing in for the first time on April 6 or April 12? If we weigh in on April 6th then that means that the last weigh in is scheduled for June 29th or that we will have two weeks between weigh-ins somewhere. I hope I am making sense.0

Good morning!!!
So I'm down the first 26 pounds and now I have hit a plateau! No matter what I do I can't break the 170 mark, I've been stuck here for over two months!
I have another 20 to go until goal weight and I really need ideas, tips and tricks! I exercise 3-4 times a week and alternate between running, weight training and core work. Please someone help!!!!!0 -

I was going to weigh in on the 6th and stick to Monday weigh ins from there...
That 'last' weigh might give me a few more days to really push until the 4th July. ..

I didn't actually see a July 4th weigh in. I see the one that is for June 29th. Am I missing it?0 -

Looking forward to starting this challenge0

Checking in!!! We start in less than a week. I'm so excited I can't wait!!!!0

@100...
Week 13 - the last one - starts on 29th June
So I figure if I'm weighing on that day (Monday) and I've just got a few pounds to go i'll have a few more days to try & lose them before its all over on the 4th.

Hello new challenge friends! Checking in today and excited to begin this challenge! Getting ready to hop on the treadmill. I plan to watch some mind numbing show I recorded on my DVR so I don't think about how boring it is to walk on the treadmill! LOL0
