This is the best group ever.
I realize many of us are struggling-I wish we had a "send hugs" button at the bottom of the page w/all the others. I guess "insightful" will have to do.
Love this idea. I am going to use insightful a little more with this meaning.
I’m jealous of your blue text lol
You have to code your post as follows:
Where I have ( ) showing below you have to use [ ]
(color = blue ) then the text here (/color ) These also have the bold edit on. Too hard to do from the phone, but easy on the laptop.

Touche! That is hilarious. They've got the "Americans love sugar" part right. To really capture the stereotype, there would need to be some kind of sugary peanut butter too.
I have to say that, in my entire lifetime, I've only ever tried a couple of those things. Outside of Halloween, pretty much only the pretzels.1 -

Plans for today:
1) Learn more Docker for workI learned lots today.
2) Answer all upcoming emailsAnd wrote some updates/questions to people myself.
3) Be a loving gf, not just a whining oneThat was actually very needed...
4) Drink enough water
I am slowly getting better with that again.
5) Eat many small portions, but eat. Preferably graze all day.I tried my best. It's getting better every day. I even got some more protein in.
I am dead tired already, as I did work a lot today. Let's try to set some goals for tomorrow anyway.
1) Find some cool topics for the seminar
2) Get in a first try of generating the docker image
3) Be an especially loving gf (It's bf's birthday and he had a bad day today.)
4) Drink lots of water
5) Maybe go grocery shopping or to the hairdresser after work (Bonus task, can be done a day later)1 -

Yay I made it pink!
It took me ages to get it right because I spell it COLOUR!
Curse you all hahaha3 -
I'm on here because I want to whine a little bit... LOL. I so desperately want to put up my 10 Lb badge. (For those of you who don't know, I made myself a bunch of badges to use as my profile picture to brag about where I'm at in my weight loss journey). The problem is that MFP says that I've already lost the 10Lb mark, but I haven't and I feel like a fraud! LOL (Why does MFP round up???) The lowest loss I've seen was 9.8 Lbs and I REFUSE to put up my pretty new badge until I do ACTUALLY hit 10). I'm still 0.2 Lbs away (Another side note: I only actually record my weight in MFP if it's a new low, so technically I have 1.5 lbs to lose again because I jumped up a bit). And I've been bouncing around between 190.8 and 192.2 and I'm so sick of it
End Rant
I thought I'd try out the colour thingy for fun! Thanks team! 4 -
Day 48 (Oct. 10th) goals:
0., Do better than yesterday ✅
1., Be active, ✅
2., Drink lots of water, ✅
3., Think positively ✅
4., Eat small portions, ✅
5., Avoid sugar✅
6., Bonus: Stay under 2000 cals✅
7., Extra Bonus: Stay under 100 carbs✅
I did it! I did it! I did it!!! First day since I've left home that I was strict enough with myself to achieve ALL of my goals! I feel AMAZING!!! This is why I'm doing this. To feel great!!! It's so true about long-term satisfaction over temporary pleasure (of eating the bag of m&m's I've been craving all day and didn't touch!!!)
I'm feeling motivated and optimistic for tomorrow instead of heavy and exhausted and depressed. I. CAN. AND. I. WILL. DO. THIS.

I want to see almost no bloating at all and at least the same (if not less) weight that I was the day I left for this trip when I return home this weekend!!! And who knows... maybe I'll still make my 189 goal for Oct 19th!!! (I'm trying to remain optimistic without putting too much undue pressure on myself).5 -

GREAT JOB!!! I am so proud of you! And yes, you WILL get to that goal weight! We are both about the same - I am hoping to get out of the 190s by the end of the month as well!!! Together, we're all going to be success stories!4 -
Tues, Oct 9
1. log all food Even though I strayed a little off of the South Beach way of eating, I still did really good -- and I feel great also! Hoping to keep this up!
2. keep with what I have planned
I did have some popcorn tonite, which is not what I should be eating, but .... I also want this to be a lifestyle change, so I am not going to beat myself up. I still ate less than 1300 calories, so I am OK with that
3. aim for 12+ cups of water Only got in about 6 glasses, but for me, that is a win.
4. get back on here tomorrow
5. lay out gym clothes for tomorrow morning They are ready for me -- no excuses tomorrow morning!
6. read response cards I read these 6 times today! Determined to get back on track!
7. concentrate on mindful eating
JFT, Wed, Oct 10
1. log all food
2. concentrate on at least 12 glasses of water - half my body weight
3. read response cards
4. stick with protein and veggies for all 3 meals
5. aim for minimum of 8 servings of veggies
6. mindful eating
7. drink water in the evening
8. get back on here tomorrow - be accountable!
9. do not give up. Keep focused on long term. Weight can fluctuate each day, but stay on course - do not give up
Had to practice changing colors --- LOVE THIS! @junodog1 Thank you for showing us how!

@junodog1 Are you a computer coder?? I used to do page design for a large medical publisher, and this was the coding that we used often to change colors of text! I completely forgot about that, till I saw your instructions! (its been 10 years since I did the type of work though, but still remember it well!)1 -

Do you mean 'at' (@) or tag ('marking sth, or a person') ? I always thought there is a word in english, but not in most other languages. German uses the english words.

Not a good couple of days eating wise. Had a couple of slightly disrupted days work wise and that led to lots of over-eating.
Need to be good for the rest of the week to balance it out!
Might be challenging today as I'm feeling slightly tired/hungover today after work night out... But will push through!
Today's commitments -
- Log everything I eat
- Lunch less than 450 cals
- No snacks except ryvita if hungry
- No alcohol other than that at wine tasting course
- Be in the green
- 30 minute lunch break
- Meditate
- Focus on key priorities and be productive
- Stay positive!2 -
I will check in to JFT daily & read the posts. DONE
Walk dog 30 mins in neighborhood w/DD so it'll be a slow walk.
Check to do list.
Drink 9 cups of water.
Set timer to stay on task.
No gym today- activities will be to clean house, crunches, planks & pushups. Been a long time since I've done these exercises at home.
Planned supper- for the family (not me).
Prepping garlic bread & new app recipe: prosciutto stuffed mushrooms. I'll try not to overindulge but I love potlucks!
Pretracked some meals/snacks today.
All food will be eaten sitting at a table. No distractions.
Meditate 20 mins w/calm app.
Read something for inspiration. Prob Simple Abundance.
Early bedtime 10pm. Need more rest, I feel like I've hit a wall. Try one night with no TV.
