I just joined this evening. So I guess my first actual full day will be tomorrow. I just get busy and forget to log, & a few days later I can't remember everything I ate. I think I remembered everything today, but well log better, tomorrow my first full day.
My name is Kimberly. I am 43. I have three college age kids. I had major surgery three years ago, which was my jumping start & motivation to lose 15 pounds I had put on previously.I did lose those 15 pounds. But then gained five back. I got lazy with login and accuracy

Welcome on behalf of all of us Kimberly. I have to log to lose and had gotten slack about it. You can get my history from my profile if you are interested. Here to tomorrow's complete log!0

Hi Kimberly, I think we've been in another group together in the past. Glad you are here.0

Yes, your name does look familiar. Possibly eat, train, progress,0

Today is my first official full day here as part of this logging challenge for this group. But my third day getting back into accurate logging food.
My calorie limit is 1400 - 1500 calories a day. My maintenance is 1700. I actually did very well the past 2 days staying with in my calorie range, today I went over because I was visiting a friend who had surgery last week and is still a lot of pain. I brought her Starbucks. I was still under maintenance. My protein was low. I try to get 110 - 125 grams a day.0 -
Good job! Friends can be food triggers for me but I would think that every day under maintenance is OK - no gain day any way.0

takes longer for me to log it than eat it. Good job on your part.0

Logged it all. Had to change a few things, but it all fit. Opened my diary. I figured if we were being honest and accountable I might as well have an open diary if anyone desire to see my boring food0
-
I appreciate an open diary. I learned lots from my original set of mfp friends studying their diaries. Almond milk, quinoa, spaghetti squash are just a few that come to mind. My diary is open as well and feel free to comment on it if you wish.0

I logged everything today. They weren't all the best choices, skyline chili and homemade chocolate chip cookies, but my calories fit. I was 27 calories over the lower end of my limit but still under the upper end of my limit (I have my calorie limit set to 1400, but I'm fine going up to 1500 most days. It be nice if we could set a window instead of a specific goal). And my macros weren't too bad considering. I didn't get much exercise in, the clean the house a little bit, which is an improvement over my two day migraine that had me useless0
-
I'm glad your migraine is better. It sounds like you are doing really well with this challenge!
I don't have my diary open because I am following a supervised program that is very low calorie and low carb, two things that tend to be controversial here at MFP. I am eating lean proteins, fruits & veggies for the most part. It was set up by my counselor -- I know some of the reasons why I am following it but maybe not all of them. I just didn't want to discuss it with people. I am in counseling and doing well -- I don't need to fight about it with anyone.0 -
I rarely have a day without cookies. Wish I could but if they are available, I am in them. Your day looked deelish to me. I was at Steak N Shake last night and the chili mac supreme is my favorite but I passed. Seeing your skyline chili makes me wish I would have indulged! And chili is good, high fiber and protein.
Sounds like a valid reason Elaine not to have an open diary. Not one needs to go to battle defending what they eat. I have had some snooty comments on mine before, like the day I had poptarts and somedays just how many ounces of beer I drink, but it is what it is and I do I for me. I am not always proud of my diary but I did it so I log it.0 -
I love cookies. I love cookies! My kids made a batch of cookies last week with a friend.
I've done really good staying at the low end of my calorie goal likely, today I went over. I thought about it, knew I was going to go over, and decided I was okay with it. Of course this is why I still haven't lost those 5 pounds. Haha0 -
Cookies are happy food!0
-
I don't know about happy, but they are yummy. And though I would like to lose 5 pounds, they're just vanity pounds. But now that I'm back to accurate recording of my food I'm making sure I get enough protein so I'm feeling better0

Today is day 9 of my accurate honest login. Although I think it's only day 7 or 8 for actually being here. I'm going with day 9. I love everything today, my macros were good, and my calories were good.0

this is my day 10 (10 days of logging everything, but not quite that many here at this board). I loGgEd severything. I did not want to. I went over by way too much.
(649) I'm a Over maintenance ( by ~200). My husband took me to Long John Silvers. 0 -
Yay for the function that shows your daily calorie average for the week. Mine average was 1505 daily. My goal is to stay 1400-1500. My maintainence is 1750. I would like to stay closer to the low end of My goal, but my daily average was below maintenance.0

Great job!0
