1. 17,000 Steps
2. log everything on MFP
Yes, and my weight is up too I want to pretend it is a daily fluctuation but lets be honest it is probably all the Oreos I didn't log 
I LOVE Oreos. I have no self control around them...it's so bad, I can't have them in the house. I'll eat half the package in one go.2 -

Day 13
Got all my logging, drinking, exercising in but no online lesson, journaling, or reviewing. So, those items remain on the front burner. Quit eating at 8:15
JFT
I will pre-log as much as possible
I will not get the avocado dressing from CFA but will be content with lime vinaigrette.
I will ride my stationary bike 5 miles
I will spend time stretching
I will complete online lesson plan
I will journal
I will drink 6.5 glasses of water before 7pm
I will quit eating by 8pm
What I am learning: I am wanting to take every bite of food captive. Before I take a bite I want to consider the costs involved and if it is a benefit or an impediment in reaching my goal. I want to stop aimlessly eating my food--but to instead truly savor and enjoy every bite. I am tired of being a slave to food.3 -

Steam room is always good! Sweat out them toxins! When you say “Swam 700” what does that mean lol 700 what?
I miss swimming so much!
Also I’m so sorry about your uncle! It’s awful losing someone. You just try your best today and take it easy!JFY

I also love Oreos haha
I think I had a pack of every kind by Christmas, mint, strawberry, double cream, original, peanut? (The peanut ones are still in the cupboard, can’t tell if I want them or not!)
Also @toaljasa

Recently, although I don’t post any health related goals I have really been improving on things!
I now walk a lot more, rather than driving to the shop that’s literally 2 mins down the road and to the chemist which is 5 mins I walk instead
I *would* walk to nursery and back but it’s been raining most the time and although I don’t mind the rain I’d hate for my kids to get soaked.
I’ve managed to drop from 40mg of anti depressant to 20mg which is the lowest dose! So far so good!
My partner said my mood has been more temperamental but I’m still doing all the things I need to and more so he doesn’t think it’s depression (because I do nothing when I’m depressed lol) just hormones haha and tbh I agree. Fed up now. Tired and want baby out out out.
And for some reason. Glasses in our house won’t last longer than a year. I swear every year we buy a new set of glasses to replace (what’s left) of the previous set. We just break them all the time!
Anyway, we have pint glasses, medium sizedish glasses and some really nice thin tall glasses (they hold about 200ml)
Anyway I love it! I’ve been drinking so much more water! It’s just he right amount!
I always have about 5 of these glasses a day and pint with my tea.
I don’t know whether it’s to do with the glass or because my body needs more water because of the baby but either way!
My intake is on the up and I’m enjoying it

1/19 Friday JFT:
Well yesterday was unusual. ...I was verbally attacked by an older man who yelled at me for parking where I did. ...I finally just got in my vehicle and drove away.... as I began to drive away, I started crying!! .... The man clearly saw I'm 6 months pregnant, with a sick child and his little brother but he still felt the need to yell at me until I drove away.
What.A.Jerk.
So sorry you had to endure that and its after effects.
You and @Bex953172 have had interesting times with these pregnancies. Just wait until the time comes when you will have all these funny stories.

I wanted to share this as I'm hoping it will add to my motivation...
My WHY
My son took my photo while eating pancakes & bacon on Christmas morning with family. It's the worst photo I've seen of myself! Time to take control of this situation was what went through my head when I saw it. I may print a copy to keep on my fridge for motivation. Also, assorted aches, pains and low energy due to the extra weight. Need to shed about 50lbs. I'm also aware of how people who've known me for years will treat me differently now. It's rather sad. But I intend to make healthy changes.This would be my reason also! I also am usually the one taking pictures. I lost 25 pounds last year, and thought if I can just lose another 20 I will be OK. But after seeing the picture my husband took (and a full lenght one!), I feel I need to really lose more like 35. But ... its one pound at a time. I know you can do it. Sometimes we all need reminders. I think posting the picture where you can see it is a good visual reminder
Remember all that while we may hate our own pictures, to others the pictures show the you they know. Your loved ones aren't seeing all your flaws, weight, etc. Make sure you are in some the pictures of your events. In the future everyone (else) will wonder where you are if you step out of the frame all the time. And if - God forbid - you died, it is a consolation to see the pictures of people we love.

This is a great way to think of food! I will have to keep this in mind also when I go to buy and/or eat things.1 -

I'm a little nervous about this week; we were reminded NOT to eat or drink in costume (except water) which means nothing but water after about 5 PM. I'm concerned that I'm going to get back from practice and be rabidly hungry.

See --- with time that scale will start moving! Great job hanging in there!
And congrats on nailing the scenes!1 -
I've just come across this thread and hope.it can help me being accountable too, in short I lost nearly 7st between April 2016 to Dec 2016 no fad dieting just eating better and exercising, since April 2017 to today I have put nearly 2st back on and have been struggling to get back on top. This year Oct I have decided to run my first Marathon and want to get to my lowest weight of 15st since being a teenager which means I have just under 3 more stone to loose and the thing I have struggled with since the end of last year is prepping my meals so I end up making bad food choices so my first goal for tomorrow is to prep my meals and track what I'm eating properly5

I'M BACK!!!!!!!
It's been an...odd...few months! Lol. The first like ten days of October sucked! I finished transitioning off my meds and then lost my job! Lol. So since then, I have been doing pretty much NOTHING. My mood has been pretty good(I suffer from bi-polar), but I lost all motivation, routine, and desire to do anything. And I mean anything. Literally. For example, while my DH will be working his shift at his job, I will spend 8 hours on some kind of social media. And I mean like Tumbler/Youtube/Facebook. Just doing completely nonsensical things. I haven't cooked a dinner in probably a month and before that, it was probably two months. We have been spending SO much money on takeout and convenience store crap! I haven't done a budget or a proper shopping list since October.
I am thoroughly disgusted with myself. And not because of how I look. I have actually lost about 15 lbs over the last 4 months and that was most likely a mix of coming off the meds and just a complete lack of a desire to eat. Not an "I'm starving myself" kind of thing but an "I just dont feel like eating" kind of a thing. Or I just dont even think about it until it's 7pm and I haven't had anything except about 8ounces of coffee and a bottle of water. Anyone is going to lose weight that way. I haven't had any desire to go on my walks like I used to. I haven't really done anything even remotely physically difficult at all, except for today! I lugged probably 60lbs worth of clothes to the laundromat and cleaned one of the two rooms of my house. That may not seem like a big deal but when I say that the clutter and garbage were almost as tall as I am(5' 6") it's not an exaggeration. It is probably completely unsanitary where we are living at the moment. Tomorrow and Thursday(it will probably take two days) I am tackling the living/dining/kitchen room. It actually took a lot of strength to get up and get this room clean. But GOD did it feel GOOD to actually be DOING something! Not just sitting around and staring at my phone. It was really nice. I can sleep well tonight knowing that I accomplished something that I had put my mind to. There is still A LOT to be done, but it will be done!
After a lot of self-inspection, prayer and talking to my doctor, mom and DH I have decided to go back on my meds. I dont like how I have been. I want to get back to where I was. And I think the first step in doing that is coming back to the boards and jumping back in and rekindling my friendships with people here!
So I'M BACK!!!!6 -

I am determined to get my life back on track. I want to be me again...and I havent been since October. But that is changing! I will do everything and anything I have to, to change it!4 -

Back to the GP tomorrow for me.
Although I’ve posted saying I’m okay (which I am, honestly) I’m still having trouble with my digestion.
In fact the past 3 days it’s been worse.
Hardly anything seems to get past my stomach and results in me throwing up. Twice I just made myself be sick to get it out rather than sitting feeling sick for hours on end to just throw up anyway. And the relief was immediate.
But tonight after being sick my lower tummy hurt for ages, like one long ache, almost contraction like but constant.
Baby is still moving like crazy which is why I haven’t rung the hospital. It can wait til tomorrow.
So I’m going back and going to try get further help.
I have a scan on Thursday and just hoping baby’s weight hasn’t dropped more as then it probably is something to do with this weird stuff going on with me.
Fingers crossed for me eh!
Why is that the every month has 30 days but the last month of pregnancy seems to have about 4000?
