Funny Story - I was on a message board the other day I can't remember which one. Anyway, someone made a comment that was encouraging and someone else hit the Woo button. The original poster questioned why the Woo. I said doesn't Woo mean "woohoo", "great job"? Several people came back and said no it means, woo as in not scientifically proven, bunk. I guess I've been insulting a lot of people without even knowing it LOL
I have too! As a matter of fact, I hit Woo on this post just to be sassy! hahaha! To me, that makes no sense at all. Why not a frown or a thumbs down or something?
I agree, I think MFP could really update their message boards and such. I like sassy!2 -

On this board lots of us use 'woo' as 'woo hoo' - this was discussed a little while ago actually but think this was before you joined!
So woo away! (Perhaps we should reiterate this occasionally for newbies)
I like that two of you have 'woo-ed' this message... There are some good senses of humour on this board

It won’t be for a few years yet, will cost a fair amount of money to do it I reckon and will be a wedding/honeymoon combined.
And someone will have to have the kids so I reckon 7-10 days would be our maximum!
I really need to research the areas and see what we can see and what we can do
Bex - I so agree on spending your wedding money on yourself and your honeymoon! Las Vegas sounds like a great destination!!
Too bad @O'Connell and I can't watch your kids for you

Welcome back!!!! It is so easy to gain weight back - this is why I have to keep coming back each day. I am still trying to lose those last 15 pounds, and that is hard. I think even when I reach goal, a thread like this is so important. We are happy to have you back ---- you are going to get those 25 pounds off!3 -

So I’ve not really posted goals for a few days but I’ve just been trying to get more organised.
Inspired by the tiny habits I have a hand written list of things I need to do daily.
So for example -take medication whilst making Caseys first feed-
-let dog out and feed him whilst girls are eating breakfast
Etc and I have to try complete it by 10am. Which is around the time my oh gets up so then I’m completely free to spend time with him and do his breakfast etc. But if I don’t finish it all it doesn’t matter because the jobs left will be minimal things rather than a lot of things!
Then my midday one is basically make the girls lunch. And whilst they’re eating I do a quick tidy of the lounge and then clear the pots etc.
Dinner is a lot more. There’s a lot to do!
No time limit on that but should probs make it for 9pm because I watched some of a box set before doing anything!
Fully embracing my housewife role haha!
5 people and a dog is a lot to handle so routine is a must or it’s just chaos!
Also means I have time to do other chores in between these basic ones like my absolute mountain of clothes to fold and put away!2 -
Just for today, I will not let stress give me excuses for overeating.5
-
If I may join your thread, I need a little extra accountability. I've been doing well but this week my calories have been steadily over goal.
And wow to some of you that are managing this with for example "5 people and a dog", I'm only responsible for myself and one spoiled cat.
Just for today I want to:
1) stay UNDER my calorie goal, even if it's just by one calorie
2) drink 64 oz of water
3) do a fitness blender routine
4) be within 10% of my protein goal4 -

JFT Wednesday Recap
1. Meds AM and PM / 
I think I forgot my PM meds - I'm not even sure. I need to improve my PM habits, maybe have a sign of things to make sure I did before I leave the office? But that does no help on the weekends. Evening meds have been tricky for me because I prefer to take them both before 4ish and need to eat something with it so its usually after an afternoon snack but before dinner. They havent been bothering my tummy tho, so maybe I'll just set a daily alarm for 3ish and just take no matter what and see how that goes.
2. Log all food
3. Stay in cals
4. Stay under sodium eeked in at 25mg's under!
5. Eat lunch outside
6. Empty 2 drawer file cabinet Ugh, been a bit distracted.
7. Do no harm but take no *kitten*
8. 10 wall push ups every bathroom trip again, a distracted few days. I remembered maybe twice out of 10 times.
JFT Thursday
1. Be grateful for what you have. Find your center. Don't stress about things you have no control over.
2. Engineering Checklists
3. EMPTY FILE CABINET
4. 10 Wall push ups every bathroom break
5. Meds AM and PM
6. Log all food
7. Make smart choices for dinner
8. Make eyebrow appointment for Tuesday
9. Pack dog bag for day at work; chews, blanket, bowl.
10. Notes for tomorrow: phone bill, dog food, excise tax, dog bath
Funny about the woo's! I was scrolling through threads the other day and someone called a girl out for "having lots of woo's" in a negative context (which I dont even understand how someone can see how many reactions someone else has, but thats not the point of this story) And I'm like wait, woo's are bad? So I got a little self conscious for a moment, and then the topic was brought up here and explained! So whew, to the woo's! Love this thread!2 -
Hello everyone!
Just a check in to say that I’ve finally said “enough is enough” and gotten a personal heath coach. I’m finally feeling well enough to commit to something and the past dramas have been worked out, so this is it! My final do-over.
I was weighed and measured last Thursday (May 10th) and then again today (I’ve not looked at the scale in between).
My coach has a body fat scale and the numbers are as follows:
Weight: 210.4 Lbs
Body fat: 46.6% (Bad!)
Muscle: 32.4%
Water: 32.1% (REALLY BAD! This should be in the 50’s)
May 17:
Weight: 205.4 Lbs
Body fat: 45.1%
Muscle: 32.8%
Water: 33.4%
Numbers are all going in the right direction!! I’m feeling great!2 -

It sounds to me like you are rockin' the housewife role. It's never an easy task, but oh so very rewarding.2 -

I had gotten self conscious about it as well in the message board I was reading. I guess it's one of those "know your audience" situations. LOL2
