@theslightedgeforever That doesn't feel genuine for me to say I used to be a food addict. I know what you are saying but it just doesn't feel like something I can believe. That's a good idea about the fruit. I know you guys mean well, and I take it that way. I just feel so hopeless, I feel like why bother? Thanks for your support, I know it's coming from a good place.
Wow, that's a lot of walking! The visit to the state park sounds so nice. WTG ordering the salad! I bet you were just as satisfied?
Hi all. I did not track yesterday. I just pretracked everything but breakfast for today. Last's night's dinner was really good. I did make roasted asparagus with it so I could have less potato salad. I have to find something for breakfast, we are out of the yogurt I was counting on having. I do have flavored yogurts I can add blueberries to.

@theslightedgeforever you are very encouraging to each of us here and I like what you said, how you want success for ourselves and others. I have a good attitude most days and it is probably because I am seeing my weight and inches change by using MFP. Some days are more challenging if I don’t have good choices always ready to go at home. I agree you don’t have to order food from the same restaurant as others….I just realized this myself! Getting what we want is much better for us. Your state park with bison sound wonderful! I saw so many when we visited Wyoming and Montana two summers ago.
@trooworld great job on your dinner! You did add an excellent source of green vegetable to your plate. I think practicing by doing just that one thing consistently as possible will be a great way to improve where you can. Do you like trying new recipes each week? Tracking does takes time I understand but it is the only way I can see what nutrients I am eating and where I can tweak.
I made a delicious sheet pan dinner on Saturday and had that over the last two nights…..cubed seasoned chicken, peppers, carrots, brussel sprouts, and red onion. I made two large portions with 5 oz chicken each. I am going to try this each week which will guarantee I get my tasty vegetables and eat low calorie at night. The root vegetables made it very filling but I would have couscous or brown rice if my husband joined me. I wish I had done the complex carb with the meal because I reached for popcorn, wine, and Annie’s bunny grahams afterwards with a movie, yikes!
It confess it was too much, too late at night! Paid the price with indigestion which hasn’t happened in years. Gotta move on to today! I need to start my day and plan my meals out. I do like Fage yogurt and blueberries too. Or, eggs, or oatmeal. These are pretty much my breakfast staples. Occasionally I will have avocado toast. The protein keeps me full until mid-morning snack -Apple slices, lite Swiss cheese, hummus or cubed melon. Speaking of fruit, I have a hold of cantaloupe I need to cube today.
May you find good solutions to help you stay on track today!0 -
Afternoon all, I didn't do great yesterday, Sundays are hard for me. LOL. With trying to get kids ready for church, church, a book club and then have to fix dinner...UGH..I don't ever feel as if I get a rest and Sundays have always. been my rest day.
@theslightedgeforever great attitude and plans. Good job on the walking..all I can see in my brain in Sonic and his shoes on fire from his speed walks..LOL
@trooworld you know what to do, you want to do what you know, but something is stopping you. One thing I have realized is I really did't want to give up my "comfort zone". I wanted to lose the weight and if I want an Oreo, I ate it and didn't track it...you see we all know tracking tells us everything..in our spending habits, sleep cycles, movement all of it. If we don't track...trust me our bodies will tell us what we didn't or did do when we get older. So I think you did great getting the greens in..So one tweak at a time and just do it until it is a mindless task...then you can do a different tweak. I have added a banana to my diet no matter what..it's hard sometimes but my mindset tells me I have to or my legs will ache..LOL. I am proud of you!
@Michieb125 You are one positive person...I like your mindset. Yes I hate indigestion..but I can't tell if it's my life, meds, or food. So I just keep trying. Meal planning helps, but it's not always a fix for me LOL

@trooworld Ok how about something like I am becoming someone who is not addicted to food? How else could you phrase it? Sometimes we all feel that why bother thing. So WHY are you wanting to lose weight? There has to be a good reason that you are persistent in making this work. Keep those reasons visible to you when food demons make their appearance. Yes I was just as satisfied and I ate half of it and I'm eating the other half when I get back from the gym. I just need to heat up the chicken to go on top since I already ate all the salmon from it. Great choice on adding the asparagus. Yaaay on pretracking breakfast.
@Michieb125 Your sheet pan recipe sounds delicious. I do one with marinated sliced chicken strips, green, red, yellow peppers and onions. So easy and so good. Depending on my carbs for the day I either make a wrap out of it or just throw it over a salad. Seeing weight and inches change is so motivating.
@cbabie In a perfect world what would be a fix for you? So you would be at an ideal weight for you. You would have muscle tone and your bones strong. Your blood test results would be at normal levels. What would you have to do?
I'm currently eating the rest of my salad from Saturday. I added some chicken on it for some protein. Just got home from the gym and I'm tired. I added a second set to my weight routine today. I walked 37 minutes this morning. Walked to a coffee shop and sat and read my Kindle for 45 min then walked back home.
Food: I am under by 3 carbs Over by 75 calories. Another win for me.
Water: 68 oz0 -
@Michieb125 I agree about @theslightedgeforever, she and the rest of the ladies (and you too!) are very encouraging! Thank you re: dinner. I try a lot of new recipes, I have a collection of 7,909 recipes and counting and I rarely repeat recipes (although I am this week out of ease). Balancing out your sheet pan meal with a healthy carb sounds like a great idea. Sorry about the indigestion. I have a hard time with breakfast: I do not like eggs or sweet breakfasts. I end up eating a lot of the same things which bores me and temps me to go to the cafe at work for something different. I do like avocado toast. Mmmmm cantaloupe! I hope you got to cubing it.
@cbabie Sounds like Sundays are very busy days for you. Can you make Sunday dinners the day before and just heat them up the day of? Something IS stopping me. I believe it's my belief that I cannot do this. I think @theslightedgeforever is right, I need to change my mindset. Yay for adding a banana! Thank you, @cbabie!
@theslightedgeforever That's definitely a little better. Maybe "I am overcoming my food addiction." I've got a million reasons to lose weight. It boils down to "I don't want to die early" lol. Chicken and salmon, yum I hope you enjoyed it. No, I pretracked everything BUT breakfast but I did end up tracking breakfast when I ate it. Sounds like you worked hard at the gym. I hope you enjoyed your salad. I love reading at the coffee shop. I love to people-watch and read. Yay for doing so well with food and water!
Hi all. I did pretty well until I didn't lol. We stopped and had a beer and panko-crusted cheese curds (which I just realized I didn't track!) and then got Thai takeout. I had fresh Thai spring rolls (very good and healthy) but got some pad thai for lunch today. Thank you all for the suggestions. I will keep trying and tweaking things.

Morning all, I love the comments today. We all have our own struggles and wins. Let's not forget those. If you're breathing it's a win. I started to track yesterday, but then life happened here. LOL. I just had my protein shake with a "banana" and blueberries in it. I heard something on TV about break fast. In the "old days" LOL you ate what you had left over from dinner the next day for breakfast. I think what I heard and it stuck with me is what I start my day with I end with...meaning carbs/sugar? I love cereal..but what happened to the protein. So tweaking what I can.
@trooworld I think you did great yesterday..you tracked..period. today you will "track" a little more. I truly believe that our minds believes what we tell it...Let's say someone kept telling people they were a vet, but they were not...by the end of their life, I believe they believe they were a vet..your brain doesn't know what is truth or lies...it just knows if you keep repeating it..it is.. Maybe you could eat left overs for breakfast?
@theslightedgeforever good for you on the exercise...how fun walking to the coffee shop..remember when we just wanted dad to try and "ride" up to the donut shop? LOL. I think you are tweaking your habits little shifts that make big waves...

@trooworld I was thinking about you collecting recipes. Then I thought of the quote that Dr Phil always used to say. "You will not maintain any behavior that is not providing you with some kind of payoff." So I was wondering what is the payoff that you are getting by adding additional recipes to this collection. I was thinking of the extra time it would take looking for new recipes each week. Then I always find it takes longer for me to cook a new recipe than one I've done many times. Then add in the time it would take to figure out the proper number of "bites". Those minutes could add up and be some exercise minutes for you. I know you struggle with finding time to exercise during the work week. "I am overcoming my food addiction" sounds good.
@cbabie With cereal, I count the milk as my protein. I think if we all keep tweaking we will find out what works for us and something we can do consistently.
Today's report:
Exercise: 63 min cardio/weights
Food: over 7 carbs Under 24 calories
Water: 34 oz.

Hello everyone, I have browsed this thread and wow, you all are so supportive! I love that there is real conversation.
I also do WW but messed that interaction part of MFP so I now do both.
Keep up the good work!2 -
@cbabie Yes, we do! Your protein shake sounds yummy. Thank you. I did track more yesterday. I already eat leftovers for lunch so no to the breakfast, but thanks for the idea. I like the way you think!
@theslightedgeforever I'm a recipe hoarder lol. The payoff is that I like variety so I get it by collecting all of these recipes. And it's really easy to manage because I use this website (www.plantoeat.com) and I organize them all. It's like having a library of ebooks. It doesn't take any time I don't actively look for recipes, they come to my inbox via newsletters. I just have to hit a button to add them to the website. Exercise: I went for a walk yesterday at work. My knee is bothering me but I did it. It was hot but I did it. I didn't feel like it but I did it! Great job yesterday.
@melissajean9677 Hi and welcome to the thread! There is a lot of support here. Please feel free to take advantage of it.
Yeah, I don't know if you remember when the WW site had message boards but I miss those too. Connect is nice but it's not the same. Now I don't do WW I do Healthi which counts "bites" and has 5 plans, many similar to WW plans both present and past.
Hi all. I did pretty well yesterday with food and did excellent with exercise. I brought a cute bucket hat to work to take a walk and I did take that walk despite my own protests. I walked a mile on my 10 minute break (which was really 20 mins shhhhhh). I will try to do it again today.

Morning all, I am not sure what I did yesterday, but watch a 10 month old..LOL. Today plans are to clean floors again, bed sheets, etc. You know the fun stuff. It's hotter than blue blazes here and humid..Monsoons are coming. So activity will have to be inside.. LOL
@melissajean9677 Welcome to this little corner on MFP. Glad you stopped by. Yes please stop and be a part of this group, would love to have you. I too was in WW when they had the boards. I have several friends I found there when the boards were not the connection thing. We used to send Christmas cards, birthday cards and some I still do. We had fun and that's what we want our health journey to be, not torture. LOL
@trooworld So glad you got your exercise in...you didn't want to but you did. Sorry your knee is bothering you...that's no fun. You just carried your job routine into your recipe routine. LOL organize and file. Maybe you should check out a "book" on a rotation basis..LOL. I love your thought process. My family always wants "different recipes". I grew up you ate the same thing all the time and I guess I still do that, but I am trying to change!!
That way as you said it's not boring. Food should be exciting if we are going to eat it right?
@theslightedgeforever looks like you had a good day yesterday!! Congrats. I made goulash last night and my DH got a bowl that was as big as a mixing bowl and ate (2 x). LOL. yet he is as thin as a rail. but healthy? that's yet to be seen. So glad you are doing weights...I need to get back to that...no excuse since I can do it inside where it's cool. LOL

Hello all - I missed posting yesterday as I did get to an early barre class at my local gym. I was able to keep up and complete the 40-minute workout while having fun. I really like the fact this small class is full of “everyday” gals like me between the ages of 35-70. Meaning, it’s not a barre “studio” with expert participants per se where I probably would feel intimidated. I am a secret lover of all the ballet positions along with hand weights, balls and stretching exercises. It’s low impact, and I’m thinking great for toning. We shall find out. Going back tomorrow:).
Food choices going fairly well. When my DH is out of town, I eat much leaner and the kitchen stays clean! This weeks goal is to stay under my new Macro goals I set and increase lean protein (which has been a challenge) to see how the scale responds. I have read it’s good to adjust now and then. Had grandkids over yesterday to swim in their little above ground pool and then we had popsicles. I adore summer days like this.
I remember the old WW boards, so fun. I think they started to dwindle when social media really took off. I did find some of my WW friends on facebook eventually.
@trooworld excellent on the exercise at lunch, never easy but you pushed through! When I worked full days, I recall I used to gain so much confidence when I put those tennis shoes on for a mile at a time. WTG!
@melissajean9677 I’m newer here too, welcome!
@theslightedgeforever you are doing great with your calorie and exercise plans! I think you follow/manage macros too if I’m not mistaken.
@cbabie I did the bathroom floors yesterday and our large glass shower door/enclosure. Can’t imagine working in humidity lol. I think you get extra calorie burn points 😊

@melissajean9677 Welcome to the group!
@trooworld Yaaay on tracking more. You would get variety just by cooking 365 of those recipes. lol Yaaay on doing some exercise even when you didn't feel like it.
@cbabie Tell your family to find the recipes and put the ingredients on a shopping list and you'll take care of the rest. Goulash sounds good. How can you find 5 minutes to do some weights or bands? With a baby, you have to find little minutes here and there.
Exercise: 42 min at gym. cardio/stretching Today it rained so no walk. I'll make it up on Sunday.
Food: Over 2 carbs Over 33 calories
Water: 51 oz

@cbabie Good luck with your housework today. We are having a week-long heatwave here. It's too hot for my liking. Thank you. LOL I did! You are very observant. Yes, if we have to eat it should be exciting lol.
@Michieb125 That's awesome that you had a good barre class and were able to keep up and have fun! Yay for going back today. Good luck with this week's goals. Sounds like you are really enjoying summer. Thank you, it's always a challenge to walk at work. It's a challenge to exercise any time for me but I will find a way.
@theslightedgeforever That's true. Good job at the gym and with food and water. WTG on losing that weight!
Hi all. I tracked everything yesterday. It was a busy day at work so I did NOT get to go for a walk. I did get over 7,000 steps so that's pretty decent. It's so flipping hot here right now. I don't know if I will go for a walk today but I may. We have to get ready for the electrician coming tomorrow. We have to get some work done.

Morning all, I did okay until 10:30 last night. 2 mini frosted cookies called my name and YESSSss it gave me heartburn...that was my payback. LOL. So today...I have to put my ear buds in and ignore calls. LOL
@theslightedgeforever good job on the gym and weight loss. I wish we would get rain and cool it down here. Yea good luck on them looking for recipes. LOL DH will be gone for 2 weeks, so we will see how the meals go around here.
@trooworld good luck with the electrician. Yea on tracking..yes it's so hot here too, I WOULD NOT WALK either..one step outside and the sweat starts. LOL (that's when you take a selfie and post as your afterwork out profile. LOL)
@Michieb125 Oh so happy you finished the class and felt good about it. So glad you like it enough to go back. The day with the grandkids sounds fun and relaxing! Enjoy while you can, you know they stinking grow up so fast.
Cbabie0 -
@trooworld Seems to be hot everywhere in the world. Yaaay on tracking everything. Try tomorrow for the walk.
@cbabie With dh gone I'd be saying every man for himself. When it's hot, you can go to a mall and walk.

@trooworld I do believe tracking is a good key to success - otherwise we can’t review what we are putting in our bodies for fuel or pure enjoyment. Really good job, and no I can’t walk in the heat either lol.
@theslightedgeforever I like how you track/post your exercise, water and carbs/calories. I am going to adopt this technique for my own visuals. You are rocking your plan and seeing results, way to go!
@cbabie mini frosted cookies!?! One of my favorites of course. I can have those only now and then or else….hope you will be able to cook much less while DH is away. And definitely the little grandchildren grow too fast, just like my own kiddos did! I have taken care of them a couple of times a weeks since they were born so they are my precious angels.
Food tracking has been good this week and I have stayed within my calorie count on most days. Concentrating on more lean protein and less high glycemic carbs to shake things up. Yesterday, I was very active all day. Up early as usual, then completed another 45-min barre class.
Afterwards, my DH and I went on a 40 minute walk in the neighborhood and then we had the grand littles over again at 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. We/they played in the Intex pool for two hours then I made them snacks for what seemed like two more hours lol……those little people sure can eat! I try to have good lunch choices for them on hand (and me) - strawberries, watermelon, veggie straws, organic lunch meat on whole wheat bread, good quality chicken nuggets. Oh and fruit popsicles!
Going to our friends house for dinner tonight with another couple and unsure of what’s on the menu. They usually cook with a lot of sauces which I don’t. That’s a bit hard for me because I can’t know the calorie expenditure ahead of time but I’ll eat my eggs this am and regular go to’s until then and enjoy their company and make the best of it.
Stay cool and happy Friday, everyone!

Morning all, I ate a bowl of cereal for dinner last night...filled me up and went to bed not long after...didn't sleep much, up and down up and down. Still no exercise.
@theslightedgeforever you are doing great...and thank you no...don't like malls and 10 month and a very social 4 year old..would give me anxiety..LOL
@Michieb125 sounds like you are in your groove with your food. Great job..yeah my 4 year old loves all those things, she likes the straws better than the ones that looks like wavy chips....however, she also likes "cheese balls". UGH..they are nasty. But she does LOVE regular hard cheese sliced and put on a plate..
Cbabie0 -
@Michieb125 Sounds like you are on plan this week, too. How was your dinner with friends? I usually search for a similar food served with homemade added and then choose the entry that's not the highest or lowest of calories but in the middle. I know it's 100% but it gives me a range.
Then next day back on my regular plan.
@cbabie Put the baby in the stroller and let the 4 year push while you walk beside her. So what is your plan to get in some exercise?
Food: 3 carbs over/ 58 calories under

@cbabie Darn, I hate heartburn! Yes, ignore those calls lol. Thank you. The electrician did his job, unfortunately, my husband may have told him the wrong thing: he told him that we use the AC unit in the bedroom. We do, but we also use it in the living room and the living room is where the problem is. My husband thinks that what the electrician did will fix the problem, we'll see. I think we are going to have to have him back out. I knew I should have been the one to talk to the electrician but my husband insisted he knew what to tell him SMH! How was your heartburn after you ate the cereal?
@theslightedgeforever Yes. There is a heatwave for a whole week, my knee is hurting, and Comic-Con is next Friday: I don't know how much walking I want to do, I don't want to mess up my knee even worse before then. Great job with food, resting and water on...Thurs?
@Michieb125 That's true. Yeah, I just hate the extreme heat. I don't mind a little but when it gets to be in high 80s/90s, it's too much. Sounds like you are doing fantastic. You are setting a good example for the grandkids, and feeding them well. I hope you had fun with your friends.
Hi all. I got busy yesterday with the electrician. Yesterday was nice, the dogs are at the kennel until about 3 pm today. We enjoyed the peace and quiet. I should have slept really well but I didn't: we put this mattress topper on our bed yesterday and I just didn't like it, I don't think. I slept 3 hours 20 mins.
I'm going to take at least one nap today. I did track on Thursday but wasn't here to post it yesterday. I didn't track yesterday.

Morning all, more cereal....and no sugar cookies. LOL. still not exercising.
@theslightedgeforever I have decided that the 45 min I get away from the baby is when I get to do nothing and for right now I am accepting that as my life and a bonus that I get the 45 min. That's really why I am not getting any exercise. I decided it meant more to me than movement. I know it's not a good thing, but I will start making tweaks when I feel differently. I have faced the truth...and now I can handle the truth.
@trooworld LOL about the electrician, sometimes men, you just want to put duct tape on their mouth. LOL. Funny the little things that make us uncomfortable...Great job on the continued tracking. I have been getting my breakfast tracked, but fizzle out after that..
Cbabie0 -
Yesterday was the dinner party at a good friends house. Her husband loves to cook and they are very hospitable. I decided to try a little of everything because he did a French influence with all the unique culinary delights. Ill share the menu just for fun….a bit rich and heavy for a summer day-Duck confit, potato soup, caviar, pate, and asparagus with hollandaise. Not your typical summer menu lol. I did enjoy the duck as it was falling off the bone and came from Europe. Don’t ask me how they obtained something like this but it was seasoned and very good. I also had wine so today is much lighter fare!
I will be back later for personal comments. Today I did take a 40 minute walk before it heated up. Lots of tea and water to hydrate and move the sodium out from yesterday. And, I’ve been with my DIL since this morning so need to get some things done around here.

@cbabie Yay for no sugar cookies. Yes re: men and duct tape lol! At least you are tracking your breakfast, that's a start.
@Michieb125 Wow, that dinner party sounds fantastic! My husband and I both like to cook, which is part of my problem lol. I'm glad you had a good time. Good job with the walk.
Hi all. I did not track yesterday. At one point, I almost did but I got distracted. Speaking of cooking, I made beef birria tacos last night. It was so flavorful. A lot of work, but worth it. I don't have much planned for today but making some breakfast sandwiches to freeze for this week. I tend to go to the cafe and get breakfast sandwiches but if I make them myself, I can know what's in them and how to track them.

@trooworld I agree, homemade breakfast sandwiches are so much better! And Birria tacos are incredible, I’ve never tried to make them because of the amount of work involved lol. Tracking is a challenge at times but it’s like creating a daily habit, keep trying.
@cbabie I hope you can make some hard boiled eggs to supplement your cereal meals. Do you also like yogurt?
Tracking every meal, snack lick, bite and taste these days. Not obsessively, just in MFP for accountability and success. It was so hot last night I made grilled chicken salads with fresh cut vegetables, cheese and croutons. Light on the dressing….. Drank lots of water close to 64 oz. a day. I am down .04 this week. A trend I am trying to keep up!
Heading to the store soon for some cold drinks for the week - low cal lemonade, Pom juice, club soda, and sparkling waters.
We don’t drink diet sodas anymore due to bad ingredients and Carmel coloring. But sure, I would love a Diet Coke 1 x this summer lol.

@trooworld How did you do with food this weekend?
@cbabie Good job on no cookies.
@Michieb125 Sounds like your dinner party went well and you got in some exercise too. Yaaaay on the weight loss.

@Michieb125 Birria tacos are a lot of work lol. I don't mind it on the weekends so much but during the week, a recipe like this is not possible. I will keep trying with tracking. Your dinner sounds yummy and healthy. Good job on the water, I really think it makes a difference but I'm so bad at it. I recently stopped drinking diet sodas for the same reason, I heard about the WHO saying artificial sweeteners cause cancer.
@theslightedgeforever I did crappy. I did not track. I ate homemade food but it was not healthy. I made beef enchiladas for dinner last night. Thanks for the recommendation. Better days ahead for us both.
Hi all. I did not have time to make my breakfast sandwiches so I am forced to make them one at a time this week until I have time to make them to freeze on Thursday. I have to run to get ready for work but maybe I'll try to squeeze making them in this morning.

Hi all-tracking is going well along with water intake. Last night was tacos salads with ground beef and cheese and tomatoes etc. but added guacamole - reminds me of camping when I was a girl scout lol.
Not much to report today but I’m heading out to the community pool in our neighborhood with grandkids soon. That will burn some calories!
Dinners are hard when it’s 100 outside —- most likely salads again with protein.
Tomorrow morning is a 45 barre class and will try a beginner 45 min Zumba class before a hair cut and highlight in the afternoon. We shall see how the exercise goes, might be too much.
Stay hydrated!0 -
@trooworld So what good choice did you make today? Can you track one meal?
@Michieb125 The taco salad sounds good. How was your exercise classes? Plus your hair?
Today was a better day for me.

@Michieb125 That's great you are doing so well. I love taco salads. I hope you enjoyed the pool. Yes, dinners are hard when it's so hot. I have trouble with that, too. That's a lot of activity, wow!
@theslightedgeforever Yesterday, I did not snack. This is partially because I was busy and partially because I drank more water. I also went for a 20 min walk at work. I might be able to track one meal, depending on if I get a minute to add stuff in. Yay for a better day!
Hi all. I did take the time to make my breakfast sandwiches, at least the eggs for them. So now I just need to put them together and freeze them. I don't know when I'll have time to do that, I may just have to freeze the egg portion and just make them as I need them. I had a good day yesterday. See above to @theslightedgeforever. My knee has really been bothering me for the past few weeks. The walking isn't helping it nor is the extra weight on my body. I am going to make an appt with my doctor.

Hello all. I did make an appt with my doctor for my knee for today. We got pizza last night, I had 2 pieces which is a better amount than I used to eat. I didn't go for a walk yesterday, by the time I had the time to do it, it was sweltering outside and I just didn't want to go in that heat.

Afternoon all, sorry I haven't been here. sick baby and DH in Alaska doesn't help my time management. LOL. He is still fussy, but I am here. I am really working on my habits and my thoughts. I think those seem to be the things that I am working on to improve. If I REALLY want something I am not going to deny it or myself, but not eat a whole bag, etc...but if it's something I can say no not today, I will find...then I will. It's the little times I say no that ingrain that into my brain...so that is what I am going for.
@trooworld I hope the Dr makes your knee feel better. I know what it means to have a bum knee, no fun. And just for the record, it's too hot here no matter what time of day to walk..I don't think we hit 120 yet but it's been close.LOL
@theslightedgeforever Glad you had a better day.
