NON WW & WW NEWBIES, OUR NEW LIFE, THE START OF SOMETHING WONDERFUL

Morning all, I blew it the last 2 days. I have been eating nonstop and it's been ice cream, doughnuts, you name it I ate it I think. I really have to get ahold of myself. I got the bands, so hopefully today I can use them. I would really like to go on a bike ride tonight, even if it's for 5 min. I have to be at church in about an hour..I am learning the sound system, so I can back up the guy who does it in Oct. I have done that kind of thing since my dad had me do it growing up.
@trooworld I am so glad you didn't stop for fast food, I probably would have LOL. I pray you do not have COVID and maybe his was a false read? You will get back to the boxing, glad you enjoyed it.
@theslightedgeforever LOL glad you are enjoying the mini trip with DD. I remember dad driving the car onto the ferry boat and going across the river as a kid. I don't remember where that was, but probably IL or KY. LOL
@TeresaW1020 I still haven't listened to the podcast, but I will today. I am going to try to incorporate more protein in my diet. I just need to get back into my routine. I am a ROUTINE person...LOL. That's a good challenge for Aug..
@gemwolf110 Sorry that didn't work for you, I know you will find something to achieve your goals. You will pursue until you achieve.

@gemwolf110 Well, that it’s a real bummer! I know you will find something that suits you even better and you will be glad this happened. Hang in there!
@theslightedgeforever I’m glad that you are having such a good time!
@trooworld Ohhh I’m sorry that your plans got derailed with a Covid scare. How annoying to have to worry about this stuff after being vaccinated! I’m starting to think it’s never going to be over and done with. Savannah just went under a mask mandate, and I’m now worried that my town will too. I did find a mask made out of superfine muslin on Etsy that’s guaranteed to be incredibly breathable.
Good for you for not getting the fast food. That would only have made you more upset. I’m glad you liked the article.
@cbabie I’m sorry that you have had an issue with eating nonstop. Sounds like it’s mostly carbs and simple sugar stuff. Trooworld and I are doing a tracking challenge for August on our Fat2Fit team. Why don’t you join us here? We are committing to tracking every single bite we eat for the entire month. If you set your calorie and macro goals and try to pre-track you might find it easier to say no to the foods that don’t do you any favors. That is what I’m hoping it will do for me. And I hope you do listen to the podcast and like it. I feel like every podcast that I’ve been listening to lately has been talking about the importance of getting in more protein. I’m doing really well, but there is always room for improvement…and some more meat!
Hello! Well, my church’s BBQ potluck was a huge hit last evening! We had over 70 people show up, which is most of our church. Everyone was just so happy to be back to doing something normal again and we Baptists do love a good potluck! There was so much food, and the desert tables were loaded down. I did cave and have a small slice of a key lime cheesecake that my friend couldn’t stop raving about. It was pretty incredible! I was also very happy because several of the senior ladies came and sat with my mom, which freed DH and me up to go sit with our friends. Mom had a great time, and they are planning to start up their monthly senior luncheons again and she has been invited. Her having her own people in the church is what I was hoping for. 
I just got done making a menu for the whole month of August! I’m ready to do everything I can to get out of the 180s!!

Morning all, I wanted to let you know I just did a few minutes with the stretch bands. Yes that is a workout..LOL.
Will get me a routine, but just trying it out to make sure I didn’t waste my money. LOL I did better on food yesterday, I still got emotional and got into the ice cream, but I was more mindful of what I was doing.
@trooworld So glad it came back negative. I don’t think I would ever be in the mood to work. LOL.
@TeresaW1020 So glad your mom is finding friends. My dad in the end, just stayed to himself. It was sad. I am like him, so I hope I remember this later on in life..LOL (no comment from the person on vacation).. I don’t know about pretracking, My home life, doesn’t always make that easy. I will commit to the tracking everyday challenge. I am already supposed to be doing that in another group..so now I have two groups to be accountable to. LOL

Morning I tracked yesterday, but was way over in fat grams...I knew I would be. I had PB and a second helping of Ice cream. I haven't had PB in a while and just was craving it and knew to eat it and not the house. LOL. Didn't do much else but read and play with baby girl. My TM sits outside an is usually ok when it rains..since we rarely get any...but this last storm killed it. (I have no place inside or even on the patio rn for it). So I still needed cardio, so I walked around my pool for 15 min...will do bands later today.
@trooworld I love the bands, they feel sturdy, you can grab the easy, they don't slide in your hand and the stretch is good!!! Oh bummer, I just looked on Amazon, I was going to put the link in here, but they are now currently unavailable and don't know when they will be back in stock. The brand is Arena Strength. I like them.
Great job on the loss, you are getting your "you" back. LOL. congrats!!!

@trooworld I’m so happy that your test was negative. I’m sorry that you don’t feel that you can attend parties right now. Hopefully things there will settle down and you will be able to. At least you feel OK to go to the boxing class! That is awesome that you lost 2.8 lbs this week!! Just keep it up and you will get back to that lowest point and keep on going!
@cbabie Stretch bands can be a real workout! My new program is using them all the time and my shoulders are hurting still from yesterday’s workout. I’m glad that you will commit to tracking every day. If you can’t pre-track then at least have a pad of paper in the kitchen and write down everything you eat BEFORE you eat it. Maybe write down the fat grams if you know them too. Bummer about the treadmill.
Hi everyone! Today was another super-hot day so I stayed inside. I did a double workout this morning and then had to hang out with tech support while he solved a hacker issue on the church’s website. Most annoying!
Well, I’m excited for August and I’m really determined to stick to my commitment to track accurately every day and do my best to hit my target goals. I want to aim for 1300 calories, 125 grams Protein, 30 grams net carbs, and 75 grams fat. If I can go lower on fat and carbs great. It’s the protein I plan to pay the most attention to this month. I want to see if I really increase it and lower the other macros will I see more weight loss. I’ve been doing great this week with the DDF and meeting my blood sugar target every day. I am GOING to get in the 170s this month and NEVER go back into the 180s again. That is a promise that I’m making to myself and you are all my witnesses.

@trooworld That's huge that you bypassed the fast food when you were anxious. So glad the test came back negative. Woohoo on your weight loss. I got 100% water the other day. I figured out if I sit at a restaurant long enough with the waitress ignoring us to order, I can drink a lot of water. lol
@cbabie So what is going to be your plan going forward for when you find yourself eating unplanned items? Which means it's good to preplan each day. B/L/D/Snacks. So the person on vacation has to comment on pretracking. You know what food is in your house in your refrigerator and your cupboards. If the other people living in the house want to have fast food or go out, then that doesn't mean that you have to have it unless you plan ahead to eat it. Impulse eating is what keeps us fat and unhealthy. There's a saying in my family of "you do you and I'll do me" It can be hard but then so is having diabetes or cancer. Choose your hard. (aren't you glad I had time to check in. ) I hope you enjoy your bands and it becomes a habit. Yaaay for walking around your pool.
@teresaw1020 I have mastered the habit of tracking but I still need to work on preplanning each day. I think covid will always be around if large groups of people continue to not be vaccinated. Then if we do get it, it won't be that serious. I've been living in my mask since we leave early in the morning and come home at night. I'm ready to go home just to not have to wear it. Today at Pike's Place Market was crazy with wall to wall people. That's good about your mom meeting new friends.

@theslightedgeforever Are you wearing your mask because it’s mandated where you are or because your worried about catching it even though you are vaccinated? I understand that I might get infected with something if I don’t have a mask on but I’m willing to take that risk. I took this vaccine that hasn’t been fully approved by the FDA, because they said I wouldn’t have to wear a mask anymore. If I’m forced to put it on again, I will NOT be a happy woman. But I’m afraid it will happen where I live so I’m working on what will be the most ultra-breathable mask I can get away with. Have a safe trip home!
@trooworld Yeah, I get the need for added caution if you are living in an area that is really full of the virus. It’s here too but it’s not rampant and I pray it won’t be. Good job on killing it at the boxing class! How many days are you going? Take it easy today!
Hi everyone! Not much happening today. I went to church wearing a super cute new shirt I had bought at Chico's and received a lot of compliments, so that was nice. I am excited about this new month. I’m really determined to work hard. This morning I did a cardio workout that kicked my butt which felt great. I’m also doing a 31-day squat challenge. So far, my knees have been behaving so I hope that keeps up. I did see a nice whoosh on the scale this morning and it looks very promising that I will be in the 170s for next Friday’s weigh-in. *fingers crossed!*

Omg. July was rough. Time to get my head back in the game and get back on track. Time to get off the lazy train. July has been eating to many foods I shouldn’t be. No exercise. And way to much beer. This morning I was at my highest weight this summer, probably highest weight all year. I know I will be able to drop it pretty quickly but have made no progress which is sad. Going to take this week slow getting back exercising but plan on 3 5 km walks and some weights.0

Welcome, @Shatszi !1

@trooworld nwver stick to the plan. lol. Depends on the weather and I’m feeling. July was way to hot to do anything. I try to track but the cell service is way to crappy down there to load mfp and WW.0

@trooworld I'm glad you are liking your boxing class. A fun way to burn some calories.At the restaurant, all tables had a pitcher of water and glasses. So I was just refilling myself cause I was hungry it took so long for them to take my order. Yaaay for you and your water. I will be working on that. Your meal looked good. Keep thinking positive thoughts on your boxing class after work. Think, I've got great energy for this class. I can feel the energy moving through each punch. I learned this past week that I can get through hunger and being pushed than I normally would. Was it hard, yes, but I did it. Yaaay saying no to the vending machine.
@teresaw1020 Hooray on your workouts and your whoosh. Compliments are the best. A reward for all your hard work. In the trains, ferries, and airports mask was mandated but I wear it as a safety measure even though I'm vaccinated. I don't want to get sick again. Been there done that. I took the vaccine knowing that I could get infected but it would supposedly lessen my symptoms. So I wear a mask like a condom being with a girl on the pill. Double protection.
How is your new eating plan for August?
@renaegry July is over and now you can work on your plan. You've done it before. The busy school year will be upon you and you seem to do best at that time.
@shatszi Welcome to the group I was on WW until I became prediabetic and then had to start counting carbs according to my doc. I tried awhile back to do WW blue and my carb cycling but it became too tedious. But we are all about the support here no matter what plan people follow.
@gemwolf110 How's the eating this week? What are you going to be doing these last days of summer?
@cbabie Stay out of the junk! Do you have healthy snacks on hand to eat if you feel the urge?

I lost 0.2 while on my little trip. I'm back in MN now. So that's 0.4 while I've been on vacation. Now to make it through another week of making good choices. Heading off to take a walk with hubby now.

@trooworld First off that salmon dinner looks amazing!! I adore salmon and don’t eat it near enough. Kick butt in boxing class.
@renaegry You will have a great August! Just get back on track and put the beer down!
@Shatszi Welcome to our little corner of MFP! Not all of us are doing WW but we are all working toward our health goals and are very good at supporting each other in our journeys.
@theslightedgeforever I posted the same time you did! I understand wearing the mask for double protection and totally support your choice to do so. I just want to be supported if I choose not to. I am doing great with my eating this month. I am tracking like it's my job, which is time-consuming but doable. I use Carb Manager and their recipe maker is great, so I pre-track, make dinner, actually weigh every ingredient, and then retweak the recipe as needed and according to how much I ate. If it works to keep the scale going down then it's worth it to me. How awesome that you lost weight while on vacation. That has to make you feel amazing!
Hi everyone! I am worn out today. I realized when I was doing my intense leg workout this morning with weights that I’ve either workout out or clean the church every day for 9 straight days. I am going to try to push through and I’ll take Sunday off. It’s in the low 70s here today, which is incredible for August! So, I got out and cleaned the screened porch and deadheaded all the flowers. DH is cleaning the front porch where little birds have decided to use as their bathroom while they perch on top of our porch columns. So, we ordered these bird b gone spikes to glue to the columns, and hopefully, they will find a new place to hang out.

Eating is okay could be better. I’m hoping to get some walking in with the pups. It’s finally not so hot for them. And not raining every weekend. Weather has been crazy. I got to see my friend and her twins yesterday. She had them last week and a group of us from the church all took a day to bring them a meal. Which she and her husband are so thankful as being a new parents to twins!
That’s awesome you lost!0 -
Morning all, I have been MIA, I just didn't realize it had been so long..I had a couple of bad eating days...very emotional for some reason. I did go for a bike ride and then walked the block with baby girl. We had fun. She would say, watch out car coming..be careful LOL. She turns 3 on Monday. I was a little over in calories and fat yesterday, but all in all a good day.
@trooworld Congrats on NO and getting to boxing. Also I like the way you looked at the lady who walked away. It shows you are emotionally healthy!!! Great job. No I don't think DH can fix the TM, but I may have him look at it.
I for sure miss it.
@theslightedgeforever Yes I am glad you are back and trying to "coach" me. LOL. Glad you have kept to your commitment while being on vacation.
@TeresaW1020 Yes the bands are a workout. I am glad I bought them. That stinks about a hacker....who would want to hack a church website LOL. Great job on the workout and commitment to protein and tracking!!!
@gemwolf110 I can't imagine having twins. Glad you got to see them and yes I know about hot to walk. Keep moving forward!!
@shatszi Welcome, so glad you found us. We are a group of people that are seeking good health. It doesn't matter the route, just the destination and goal is health. I think we all have been on WW and I got to goal a few years back. I am still struggling with a few lbs now and for me it's my emotional eating. So working on that. I believe you will get encouragement and support from this group. We also like to laugh!!! LOL.

@trooworld Working our “NO” muscle is the hardest and most important muscle of all, so good for you for resisting the temptation. I can feel how proud of yourself you are which is so much better than caving in and feeling bad about yourself, right? I’m sorry that the woman didn’t want to pair up with you. She is a big jerk and you are awsomesauce, so there!
Yikes, I hope you don’t have to have a root canal or worse and have your tooth removed, which was what happened to me last year.
@cbabie There you are! I was thinking about you and hoping all was well. Sorry that you had a couple of bad eating days. It happens so forgive and move on. Three-year old’s are the best!! They have so much stuff to talk about.
Hello! Today was pretty good and the weather was again just amazing. I spent time out on my porch just soaking it in. My cardio program today wasn’t working for me because I think I’m just tired out from all the weights and squats. So, I cut it short, did the squat challenge which was 25 sumo and 25 regular squats, and called it a day. Eating was good today and I hit my calorie and macro goals so yayy! In other news, I found out today that our bookkeeper wants to retire in January, which is much sooner than we had thought would happen. So, I will be taking her job along with my other two church jobs. I start training in September. I’m nervous because bookkeeping isn’t something I’ve ever done but I’m excited to learn.

@theslightedgeforever thanks. So far not the greatest start. Didn’t quite hit 10k steps yesterday. Busy sitting at my table working today. Had planned on a walk but it is so so Smokey here. Do plan on getting caught up on squat challenge thou
@TeresaW1020 that made me giggle about putting the beer down.0 -
@teresaw1020 It sounds like you are having a good start to August. Yaaay on your tracking cause I know how much you hate it. I'm glad you found some time to relax on your porch. Plus listening to your body and said I'm done for the day.
@gemwolf110 Eating can always be better I think. Maybe that's just me. I strive for the balance of living life and trying to stay healthy. I can't imagine being parents to twins. Good luck to them.
@trooworld Yaaay on your NO muscle getting stronger. That's so important and most of the battle in this journey. No, I'm not going to eat that. No, I'm not going to skip my workout. That lady probably moved away from you because you looked like a badass and she knew she would lose.
@cbabie Yaaaay on your bike ride and moving your body. What is your favorite song that makes your body move? Either dance, walk, or just plain move your body even if it's just your finger. I was thinking about your emotional eating. First thing to do is recognize that you are in an emotional eating spiral. The moment you do put on the song and start moving. It can help distract you. It can lift your spirits. You might find that you put on the song earlier and earlier into the spiral. A good way to track this would be to write it in your notes so that you can count how many "food items" did you eat before you stopped and played the song. Just seeing that you are making progress is progress. Cause I know you are an all or nothing person. Let me rephrase that. You used to be an all or nothing person, now you are making changes.
I got my first shingles shot yesterday. Arm is sore but that's it so far.

I saw a little whoosh this morning. Down 1.8 lbs since I weighed on Tuesday. Delayed reaction I guess from all the walking and not eating I did in Washington state.0 -
@trooworld happy to hear no root canel. Teeth issues are the worse.
@theslightedgeforever congrats on the “whoosh”
Today won’t be much happening. Have 2 days of squat challenge to do today and I’m all caught up. It’s still extremely Smokey here so there won’t be any walks today. Will get my steps in today cutting the grass after lunch. Next week will plan to be more active. Hopefully this smoke lifts by then. Walked to the store yesterday which was only 2 blocks away and by the time I got home my eyes were burning. Also will spend the day sitting getting book work done.0 -
Morning all, I didn't do anything yesterday and ate a little too much comfort food last night. But as we say get up and shake the dust off our feet. I am seeing school buses out my window this morning. So I guess we are back in session.
@trooworld So glad you didn't have the root canal. Hopefully this will be the thing that works and endures. Enjoy the boxing tonight!!
@TeresaW1020 Oh I tell you, we are twins...every time a job came up at church or even at my 30 year job....I felt like the life cereal commercial..."give it to Mikey, he will like it". I hope you enjoy and learn quickly...but because I am me..I will also say remember balance. Just because someone needs to do it, doesn't always mean it's you. LOL
Sounds like you are listening to your body.. great job.
@theslightedgeforever yea yea yea...I hear you. LOL. I will be more mindful to try to stop the spiral. LOL I just want to say..can life give me a break though? LOL. I hear my self say...if I overcome the emotional eating..then life will not be emotional...kind of like you want a baby so bad, cant get pregnant...you adopt...and guess what you are pregnant. LOL
@renaegry Sorry there is so much smoke..I hope the air clears soon. That can't be healthy. Enjoy your book work!
Cbabie0 -
@renaegry Hooray for your walk to the store instead of taking the car. My glutes need a squat challenge but the knees say no. I'm almost done with my knee injury I had months ago. I have just a little pain when doing child's pose in yoga. Too bad about the smoke. I saw that Greece was on fire too. I hate to see nature burn. Plus all of the evacuations needed and loss of living space and danger for the animals.
@cbabie Yes you and Teresa are twins. I guess that makes her my other sister. I always wanted another one. Another brother too. The more the merrier. Yes, you need a break but you won't find it in extra food. All you will get is a health problem and all the other life problems will still remain and it will just make it harder to deal with those if you don't feel good. So finish this sentence in your journal. If I overcame emotional eating and life wasn't emotional, I would have time to .....................
@trooworld Look at those numbers. Some serious calorie burning going on there. Look how much you have changed since we first started this group. You would always just post all the food that you were making and now you are posting exercise stats. You go girl!

Morning all, again bike or walk. I did do some of the bands yesterday. I have a pinched nerve in my neck and the stretches felt so good...I did them until my arms said no more.LOL. Eating was ok, but could have done much better. Went over my fat and calories..
@theslightedgeforever That's a big question. I was just thinking or trying to remember a time I wasn't anxiety ridden. LOL. I know I have had those times and then I say...ok what is going to happen next..like my life can't be bland.. That in itself is self sabotage and I am working on saying NO to that way of thinking.. Great job on the swoosh.. I think you like the child pose..cause inside your still a child and you like it!!! LOL
@trooworld WOW great job on the boxing...don't you love fitbit and looking at those numbers. I love seeing when I get in the "zone" world. Slightedgeforver is right...look at the change in you and your post. I believe your mindset has done a 360. Keep moving forward.

@cbabie I couldn’t think of a better person to be my twin. You are right that I need to remember balance. My back that I hurt yesterday is a good reminder that I have a tendency to overdo it. Using the bands to relieve your neck pain is a good idea.
@trooworld What a great burn you got from the boxing class! Just keep it up and it will get easier, which isn’t always a good thing. Because then you have to push yourself harder and then you have to wait again for it to become easier. It’s a vicious cycle but sure to give you some great results.
@theslightedgeforever And I always wanted another sister too! Especially one that is full of wise advice.
Hey everyone! Well, I managed to hurt my back yesterday. We have this small room that we call the Awana closet that is filled with shelves of just about everything you can think of for children’s ministry. It hadn’t been cleaned out since before last Christmas and you could barely walk into the room. So, to help out my children’s director, I got in there after I cleaned the one building and spent over two hours cleaning and reorganizing. I think it was the 5 large trash bags that ended up hurting my back. I wanted to stay home today and clean tomorrow, but we have a piano recital with a member, so I sucked it up and got it done. Now, I plan to spend the rest of the day and maybe tomorrow getting myself to feel better. I am still planning to do my squat challenge, so I won’t get behind. In other news, I lost 1.4 lbs. this week.

@trooworld So sorry the scale gave news that disappointed you, however, you said yourself you had a salty dinner and snacks, but also you did that workout..see what the scales say tomorrow. Sometimes things are always as they seem.. I do like the bands and glad I got them.
@TeresaW1020 So sorry about your back, Backs are a tricky thing. I have a nerve in my shoulder that was better yesterday, but today can't turn my head to the left without pain. LOL Yes our bodies send us little reminders. (Thank goodness). Great job on the loss...congrats!!!!

@cbabie - Thanks very much for the welcome!
I, too, am an emotional eater; I have found myself sitting at the kitchen table in the wee hours of the night munching away. I have gotten better at it though and find myself munching less and less. Tracking really helps. Love laughing and often laugh at myself. Laughter is the best medicine they say. ☺️🙏🏻🌹
@trooworld - Finding this app less intuitive than WW but will get there. Thanks very much for the welcome! Glad that you didn’t have to have a root canal after all! 🙏🏻 😊🌹
@TeresaW1020 - Thanks very much for the support. Left WW as it became too pricey for me. The community was great though. Glad I found this little corner gem on MFP. Hope your back feels better soon! 🙏🏻😊🦋
@theslightedgeforever - I was on WW blue plan too. Lol. I find that I gravitate to carbs and am trying to cut down. So far I’m just tracking everything on here. Thanks very much! The support here is most welcomed! 🥰🙏🏻💞
@renaegry- thanks very much for the welcome. 🙏🏻 😊 🌻Hope the smoke is better where you are now.
@gemwolf110 - thanks very much for the welcome. 🙏🏻😊🌻
Hello everyone! Wishing you all a fabulous day! 😊❤️🦋0 -
@cbabie So just take the time and answer the question. What would be doing in your ideal life? In the meantime, are you addicted to drama? Bland is good. Then you get to control how you spice it up. yes I'm still a child. Life is meant to be enjoyed. I'm glad you like your bands. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
@teresaw1020 Woohoo on the weight loss. Sorry about your back. Those are the worst.
@gemwolf110 Tell us one good choice you made today.
@trooworld So look at your diary- How much did you go over on points? When did you go over? Just snacks or meals too? Do you have a goal in mind for meals and snacks and try to stick to those or just keep adding across the day until you get close to the magic number for the day? I'm sure a whole lot of that gain is sodium. Do really well this week especially with your water and see how big that loss will be next week.
@shatszi Yes on laughter. What do you wish this app had that WW had? I wish it would create a shopping list after I preplan my meals.

I cleaned out my garage with the help of my mom and step dad and picked up my ring that I had on consignment for 2 years and didn’t sell. Not heart broken it didn’t sell. Kinda glad it didn’t. I’m in a much better place overall than I was 2 years ago. Now just to get my eating back on track and tracking. And probably a good thing that I do. I tracked today’s food and well I could do better. And my scale was not my friend this morning.
Goal weight: 110
Highest weight: 223.6
Current weight: 220.6 😵💫0 -
@Shatszi This is for sure a great little spot on MFP. I love your use of emojis! grin:
@cbabie Cleaning out closets is an exercise in my opinion! That recipe looks yummy!
@trooworld You already read on F2F what I think of that weight gain. Another bit of advice that I want you to do is take your measurements and take some before pics. Have your DH take the pics from all sides so you will have a reference. Do this once a month and watch how your body is going to change. I just took a new set and compared them to my original pictures and it's incredible to see the difference. It really helps me when the scale isn’t moving much to see how far I’ve come.
Good morning! Yesterday, DH and I ran a bunch of errands and ended up at a restaurant called Hook & Reel that we have been wanting to try. I had the fried shrimp and sweet potato fries. I can’t say it was worth the extra calories and bump on the scale, but I did have a great day with my sweet hubby. My back feels great again, so I’m about to go in and do my workout and squat challenge. You all have a good day!
