Hi all,
I hope your Monday was good!
I am in Australia, so we are a bit ahead of you in terms of time.
For my JFT, I want to do one Daily Burn workout this afternoon.
It is scary to say this because as much as my intention might be good to exercise, I usually find some kind of excuse!
I would also like to fast for at least 12 hours after dinner tonight.
Have a good day :-) xx

@aubyshortcake Condolences on your loss, Hun. (((Hugs)))
@maryrobison40 Love your photo. Looking good.
@Bex953172 Good choices. And I understand liking the daft games. I play a few myself. 😂
Thanks for the well wishes. I have reconciled myself with the situation. It was just a bit of shock to lose 2 friends on the one day.
The only failure is giving up!============================================================

Hey, how is everyone? I'm battling weight issues. I have dropped almost 40 pounds, have another 60 to go. Seem to have hit a plateau. Hate that and it's very discouraging. Think this group might be helpful to keep me focused and on track. I'm also using a gym 3-5 days a week as well as dieting (keeping calories in the 1200-1500 range most days). Tips would be helpful. I'm older (67) and have some arthritis and joint issues, so impact exercising is out of the question.
Welcome Ken. You should be very proud for losing 40 pounds. Sometimes I think our bodies need to adjust to a new weight and I am learning that is ok. I am 68 and I am learning not to focus on the scale numbers. We have to learn to maintain so if you are at a plateau maybe that is good because you are still learning to eat and maintain that 40 pound loss. Stay focused.. you are doing great,2 -
Okay guys so I'm really struggling for xmas. All the kids are sorted, we know what we're getting our parents etc.
And me and ash are going shopping for our presents together so he just picks what he wants and I pick what I want.
Except. I don't know what I want?
With the weather change I always feel a bit lower than I do in the summer months and it's like.. I almost feel like I don't want anything but then I would be upset of I didn't actually get anything.
Something I DO want right now is a haircut but surely, that shouldn't be out of xmas money? That's something that needs doing as like bodily maintanence lol just like Ash gets his cut every month. It costs about 40 quid to get it done (but I did want colour but not sure how much that is) but anyway I don't really want to get that for Xmas when it's just gonna grow out again?
So I want *something* but what?
All I want from the kids is one of them GIANT Toblerones (and no I am NOT logging it lmao)
But as for anything else it's all a bit.. meh.
I have about 50-60 quid to spend on myself and I just can't find anything that I want OR need.
I am really late catching up on all the posts!, Bex,,,, did you figure out yet what you might want for Xmas. Gee... I always think of things I want LOL,, not a problem for me ha. Anyhow is there something special you want and just won’t get for yourself? Or maybe just a special night out? I know when you have little ones that everything goes to them but I hope you think of something just for you that you would love.. you so deserve something special.2 -

Terri I am so sorry for all your losses. Losing someone we love is so hard especially this time of year. And to lose 2 so close together. Hugs and prayers2 -

Thanks everyone for the Xmas ideas!
@snowflake1968 ash does normally surprise me tbh, I think the year before last he bought a tablet. But I accepted the package lmao and opened it, he faked from November to Xmas day that it was for Saskia, we even set it all up together full of kids games lmao!
Anyway he factory reset it and wrapped it for me, I was so confused on the day lmao!!
But I've decided on
A 3 month membership for a game I like to access more content (from this you can use gold you make in the game to continue a membership) it's all pretty lame lmao but I love the game lol!
A calendar (there's one I've seen that has funny "mum" memes lol)
A mini cocktail set
Some clothes
And a bottle of babycham
Oh and the big toblerone lmao!
Guess I am late with posts. Glad you found things you want bex! You are so ahead of me,,,,, I still have Halloween decorations out,,1 -
Looking near the end of 2019 one month into my fitness journey, Stumbled across this group today and I have to say I love the idea so here goes nothing, my goals for the remaining months of 2019:
-Down to 270lbs Currently 284lbs
-Keep up my 5 days a week of excessive.
-Start a more cardio focused routine to work towards a 5k foam run this summer.
-Produce original and quality posts on my website www.fattysguide.com
-Use my social media platforms as a positive space for people to goto for motivation!
I am looking forward to getting to know you guys LETS FINISH 2019 STRONG1 -
I have been MIA .. working hard to finish a advent calendar for my niece, which I finished today. 3 long days of sewing ... and today I am tired, but glad it is finished.
so ... what am I doing all day long ... grazing, eating everything in site! I started last nite, and bought myself not only a candy bar, but a ice cream snickers.Then today ... went through mcdonalds drive thru and got myself a ice cream cone.
these months start every year for me. My brother committed suicide on thanksgiving day. My father passed away on Christmas Eve. Another brother passed away on Jan 3, and another brother on Feb 2. So every year ... I struggle with not only depression, but not caring, and eating as if, who cares.
I lost 27 pounds this year, and I don't want to regain 15-20, which I typically do every year. So tonite, even though I think I ate way too many peanuts and crackers (because that is all that I had hear to snack on), I am on here to stop this now.
SO tomorrow... remember, eating will not erase any pain I feel over the holidays.
1. log all my food
2. remember, food is not the answer
3. if tired ... rest. Do not eat
4. go to the gym ...start the day right
5. get out my thankful journal
6. start another sewing project .. maybe some christmas towels.
7. get on here .. be accountable. do not throw in the towel and give up and eat.4 -
@mytime6630 I can see why this is a sad and challenging time of year for you. Hugs. Would cleaning your teeth/using a mouthwash after main meals help prevent snacking (I find that food and drink rarely taste nice on top of toothpaste!). You could also try pre-logging snacks to see if the delay was enough time for you to reconsider. Are there low calorie snacks you enjoy or non food items you could treat yourself to? You’ve worked hard on your weight loss and you do care. You can do this for yourself, you also need to be kind to yourself and, if self care for you is some extra food treats, accept that there may be a small weight gain and plan some treats around that.2

2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion.

Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases.

Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options.

Recap M 11/25
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 8,173 steps, 250+ 13/14 & 34 floors
2) Meals prelogged / net calories zero / 14c water = Evening was bit of a fail... overtired, not a filling supper & emotional snacking after supper. Net cals -481
, sodium -1,742 
, sugar -25 , fiber & protein excellent, 12c water
3) PA-RM progress / reduce Inbox some more / review GA-GC Cognos report no time / review minutes from F meeting
4) Evening: walk dog weather not nice & I decided to rest my sore right leg instead of pressing on / wash white load / wash dishes too tired / other? put stuff in family room away
5) Unplug 9:00
see "bed" notes / FLOSS 
/ RETAINERS / bed & tv off 10:20 
I was so exhausted I went to bed w/ dryer still running, fell immediately asleep & it wasn't even 9 p.m. Guess I really needed the rest.
JFT T 11/26 ~ Leg feeling much better this morning but decided no dog walk or treadmill before work. Slept a bit then washed some dirty dishes before work instead.
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
2) Meals (leftovers) & snacks prelogged / net calories zero / 14c water
3) More progress PA-RM (almost finished) / review GA-GC Cognos report / IT hands-on meeting 1:30
4) Evening: walk dog if weather permits / wash towels (start as soon as get home) / finish washing dishes / fold & put away all laundry upstairs / other?
My right leg (behind knee) has been very sore since Sunday night... may be tendonitis from standing/walking on concrete 4 hours Sat. while staging holiday parade plus dog walks Sat. & Sunday? After staging this parade for 27 years, my body doesn't bounce back like it used to. I notice this more the older I get. hahaha1 -
Work is ridiculous this week. Many, maybe even most, folks took the first half of the week off to make a full week with the holidays. This leaves me here, with next to nothing to do. Not exactly true. I'm covering in ADG playing with the cool kid's toys, but that isn't much. I also have some quality management system stuff, but I really need a team for that. So instead I'm pretty much working on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Most of my Christmas shopping is finished and all of my groceries are purchased except for blackberries which I'll get tonight.
This year Christmas has been mostly about experiences. Theater tickets, Hockey Tickets, Spa packages. There is seriously nothing I need, I picked out 3 sets of cute salt/pepper shakers on Wayfair for my niece to choose from. I get something I want and I get to be surprised. Win win. In my family we are getting our kids 2 or 3 nice gifts and then shopping for less fortunate families. We picked a couple of kids from the Salvation Army and let the kids shop for them Saturday, but there is this new family at church that I would really like to help. I just haven't figured out how to offer to help without offending anyone. I'd really rather they not even know it was from us. I know they are down on their luck and only 2 of the 4 kids appear to have coats. I grew up very poor and am now blessed with abundance. I'd really like to try to make their Christmas magical.
Med changes were a tad rough, but that has passed. I definitely feel more "with it" than I have in quite some time. I think the change was meant to happen. I got a call from my original doc office and was informed he is retiring due to health issues 12/1. I was going to have to change anyway. I'm just a little ahead. The binging has largely stopped and though I haven't started back at the gym, I am at least entertaining the idea again. The YMCA wants me to come back and teach spin classes again. I told them I was out of shape, but they say they know I can do it. Not to brag, but I had the best class in the gym. Not right now, but I'm keeping it in the back of my mind.
Goalssssssss
- Work on time
- Work until at least 3:00pm (I only lasted until 11:00 yesterday)
- Write out Christmas purchases so I don't forget or repeat folks
- Find a new blackberry pie filling recipe, mine is just too runny
- Stop at grocery
- Bake pies tonight, pumpkin, apple, blackberry and chocolate pudding.
- Bake cake tonight (maybe)
- I'm already off plan for the day, but will have a good dinner.
- Gratitude journal
- Deuteronomy
- Bed by 11:00

Whoops. Had a really nice relaxing weekend, but did a bit too much indulging. But I saved it for stuff that was worth it. We went to an open barn that a local farm puts on and had wood smoked ham and homemade mac and cheese and pot pies and whoopie pies. Then I cooked a turkey breast and some fixings and we had my parents over. Step dad and DH watched the game and me and mom got to hang out, it was SO nice. But then yesterday I stress ate for the majority of the day - DH is being hired on from temp to perm full time and they are performing a background check. They couldnt verify his last employment period since the company is now defunct. And I couldnt find last years w2 (only 2017 - which apparently didnt cut it). So I called around to the old payroll company, no luck. They said contact IRS - so I got our previous transcripts and submitted that with a page of our tax returns that showed matching W2 info - still didnt cut it. The verification specialist was a real stickler. So I ate a bunch of crap all day until I got home and finally found the dang original. PHEW! I did manage to just cook some pasta for dinner instead of ordering out - not the best, but better than the worst haha. I really dont want to go to the grocery store AT ALL before the holiday so we will probably be ordering out tonight and tomorrow, unless I can come up with something real creative haha. I saw my OB yesterday too - only gained 1 lb since last visit and measuring within range (1 week behind, but I was more worried about a big baby indicating gestational diabetes) - DH was a little baby and I was average size he may just be a little on the smaller side - we'll see. I do have the gestational diabetes test to complete within the next 3 weeks, a little nerve wracking with the holidays! But after thanksgiving I'll get a week of healthy breakfasts, lunch and dinner under my belt again and plan to take the test not this friday but next! Fingers, toes and all extremities crossed!!!

There's alot of you I want to reply to but not finding the time ATM! But I'm thinking of you all and especially those struggling with various things.
Sooo yesterday I actually had a really good day!
Perfect logging, in the green, choosing healthy snacks over unhealthy snacks, not binging and got a few waters in!
Think I've finally reached the "had enough of this now" moment and I feel like I won't have to try so hard to achieve my goals because I've got that motivation and determination. I'll just do them regardless of how I feel because I want the weight gone more than wanting a biscuit or chocolate etc.
I knew I'd get there eventually, I guess it's just the way I work. Just gotta wait for my mind to "click" and then I can do it! Feel like I'm in the right mindset!
However, I'm not gonna be posting goals on here. Let's face it, I never remember them LOL and plus I don't want to jinx it haha
I will start posting again in the new year once I get in the swing of it again
But I will post how I've done each day

Tomorrow (Thanksgiving Day US) hubby and I leave town to spend the holiday with my family at my sister's house. Lots of car time (over 5 hours round trip) and sitting, but I wouldn't have it any other way. There will be lots of tempting food, so I plan to control portions, and not eat every snack or sweet there, plus keep drinking my water. Friday is also a work holiday for me, but not for hubby = sad hubby. No logging on MFP for me for at least one day. I plan to be in the moment and not online. Have a safe & happy Thanksgiving, US JFTers! I'll catch up with everyone later!
