@gottagetthisdown Looks like you made a lot of good choices and set yourself up for a good week. It also sounds like things are going well with the nutritionist too!
@Shirin_K I hope you can check in with us more. Sounds like you are doing great and you are off to a strong start for the week! I am with you, I am ready for the warmer weather.
@Carlsoda I love that you are already seeing a difference in how you feel! That is awesome! I am sure you are more than ready to add some more foods in after this week
@jedaschultz Great attitude! Not much of a gain! Hope all is going well.
@Mrsbell8well Glad the fiesta went well! Have a great week!
@NuggetBrain Awesome Loss!
@bmaison2014 Maintaining is good! Hope all is well!
@nstephenson01 I am sure you and the dogs are happy to get back out hiking! Is there still a lot of snow around? Looks like you are starting to get back into a routine.
@ljdanny Sounds like you are off to a great start to the week! Keep it going! It is so annoying that you are still having trouble getting on. It has been going on for too long!2 -

Viva Las Vegas! I got in late last night, starving but too tired to go further than the hotel food court place - i chose a black bean & chicken bowl - substituted the rice for greens, held the sauce and opted for a bit of fresh salsa instead - did the trick! it was great!
Stayed on track today with a banana and a boiled egg for breakfast. Panicked a bit at the convention center as my pre-planned choice was closed/didn’t exist, so i walked to a nearby walgreens and got a pre-packaged Dry Salami, Cheese, & Melba toast Protein kit thing. Surprisingly satisfying.
Walked back to the hotel (it’s a long walk but it’s so nice out and so much to look at!)
and got a Coney Island Hot Dog because i really wanted it! i also got a can of beer, but only drank half! (My first drink in 31 days!) i didn’t eat all of the hotdog bun, and just put mustard on it, so i’m not feeling too guilty. I could be doing ALOT worse in this tempting town!
Going to bed early as tomorrow is another long day!

I had a weird day yesterday. I was super busy but had a nagging hungry/tired feeling. I was able to talk myself out of it a few times and I gave in a few times because I did really feel hungry and my stomach was rumbling. Not sure how I feel about that. I think I should have talked myself out of eating but I didn't overeat and I had something healthy. Oh well, new day right? Not quite as busy, actually not close so hoping to get a few things done around the house after work. Light work day today. Have a great day everyone!
@twyla77 Wow! Great job!! You must be so happy with your choices! I love that you fit a hotdog in your day and felt good about it. And look at those steps! Amazing!! Have fun!!

Daily check in Monday
Food-good IF 20 hours
Water-fair
Exercise-1st day of 5-10K training 20 minute run 10 minute walk
Steps-10,136
I really enjoyed eating healthy fiesta food but time to get serious. I decided to IF 3 days until weigh in. Basically skipping dinner 3 nights in a row. Breakfast, lunch no snacks.
It’s been fairly easy and freeing not to think about food.
I came home from work and did my run. Afterwards Molly and I watched an episode of the Closer. Then Molly put on classical music and I worked on my jigsaw puzzle for 30 minutes. Then a hot bath and finally settled into bed with a good book. It’s shocking how much you can fit in with no food and no dishes.
I don’t really get hungry. I program myself not to think about food.
Today might be lighter work schedule. Going to try to jump back on later to comment.2 -

Yesterday went well! Eating and exercise was good. Meals and snacks are planned and logged again for today. I’m heading out this morning to do some clothes shopping for the kids. I need to think about some new clothes for myself too, but that will be another day. For exercise, I'm planning to take a walk if the weather is nice or else a strength video.4 -

Tonight, I am doing yoga...no excuses. It does a body good!
Yesterday was a weird day. I was SO tired driving home. I wasn't sure if my blood sugar got too low or if I was fighting something (everyone around me has colds). Today I watched what foods had sugar in them: sweet potato, carrots and kept them in check and didn't have a Lara Bar this afternoon which has dates for sweetness. Maybe it was just a fluke? Anyhow, barely had enough energy to finish off my steps let alone do yoga!
It's crazy how each day can be so different!

Got up again at 4am and did 2 videos and went to Zumba tonight. I got over 20,000 steps. That's the most I have ever had. I am looking to get 10,000 every day, log my food and exercise at least 5 days a week. My food is ready to go for tomorrow. It feels good having a plan. Here's to sticking to it.6

I had a pretty good day today. I am so happy with how well I have been doing. I had some Kohl's cash so I decided to go and pick up a few tops for a trip I am going on in a few weeks. I didn't have a lot of time so I didn't try anything on. I decided to get L instead of XL as I am confident that I am going to continue to lose weight so I will be able to use them even if they don't fit now. 1st NSV-to actually believe that this is going to continue. and NSV #2-the larges fit perfect! I am actually going to go back and get one of them in a different color. Hope everyone is doing well. Have a great night everyone!
@Mrsbell8well I wish I can program myself to not think about food. That is one of my struggles but I am making progress.
@Shirin_K you have been having a great week! Planning makes things so much easier. I am sure you do need new clothes, I bet the stuff you had from last year is falling off!
@hope002 Sounds like a good day! Keep it going!!
@cyndiesstuff This thread has been quieter than usual so I wonder if that is the problem. I have been hearing people are having problems. Hope you got everything squared away at work, is tomorrow your last day? I have been thinking about you. This is probably a tough week emotionally for you. Hang in there girl. Hugs!
@carlsoda That is how I felt yesterday! Lol! It hit me in the afternoon though. I was a little nervous it was from my early mornings but today I have been fine so it must have been a fluky day for both of us! Lol! Hope today was better.
@ljdanny Look at you girl! You are doing awesome! Amazing steps today-I am struggling getting to 10,000K. lol! Planning makes things easier, it may seem like a pain but it really helps.3 -

Yesterday blew up in my face. First couldn't get on here so my timing was off all day. Then I had two clients that decided it was the day to roll over the rest of their accounts that we had been talking to them about for month. Now I am left scrambling trying to get all the paperwork in order before the end of my day today. There is no way for it to be done so i will have to make really good notes on what the rest of the steps are to make this happen. UGGGHHH.... and of course the boss left at 2 oclock yesterday.
@Shirin_K Thanks for checking in. we miss your input. Sounds like your set up for success. and you should spend some time and shop for you. new clothes that fit make you feel so much more motivated.
@carlsoda good job at sticking to your plan even at a gathering. yoga sure is nice your right. and you know some times your just tired. and thats ok too. you don't always need a reason.
@jedaschultz thats just a small gain. no worries. just start from here and move on.
@NuggetBrain omgosh girl. you are doing awesome. what a nice loss again this week. keep working it.
@bmaison2014 maintains are good. you got this.
@nstephenson01 thanks for the thoughts. tomorrow starts the prep for the surgery and then friday is the surgery. i won't be on much at first i don't think. good job at making a plan. look at the new nancy go!!
@ljdanny Yeah it took me a while to get on yesterday. that vanilla person was doing something again. keep saying something about vanilla. and it does count. dreams are the best in the morning when you snooze after the alarm. you are creating the new you. I always say, "Act as if". you are doing great. holy toledo over 20k that is amazing. yes. a plan. they are a wonderful tool.
@twyla77 great job at making a plan on the spot! now that is talent. wow you first drink in 31 days. i am just in awh with how you stuck to your plan and still indulged and stayed on track. gooood job. have fun on vacation!! and lol, that cat is so cute. hahahaha
@sleepymom5 were you tired? that will make you feel weird. lets your mind go crazy a little. it is harder to be mindful when your tired. you keep working it girl. it is all a process. practice practice practice. omgosh and 2 nsv's in one day. look at the new pam go. yes!! keep it up, it looks good on you. and today is my last day. tomorrow is prep day and friday is the surgery! It is a hard time for me. i have had my last period. bitter sweet
@Mrsbell8well You be careful no eating. I know you will take care but remember it is a slippery slope. take a pic of the puzzle you are working on. i would love to see.
@phoebe112476 wooo whooo girl and the scale goes down. that is another new marker. the 170's are here!!
@hope002 thanks for checking in.
@GingerPwr Thanks for checking in. nice loss this morning. good job, you are officially in the 140's!

Not too much to report. Getting my exercise in early, had to cut it short yesterday because I forgot how early I needed to leave. I leave a different time every day depending on how far I have to go and what time they want me to come in. Still reading a chapter a day in my book and listening to my PNP podcasts. Have a wonderful day everyone!
@twla77 It is hard when you are away and aren't on your own schedule. I am sure it will balance out, you were probably under or broke even in calories plus you are getting a ton of walking in! How is the weather in Vegas? I bet it is beautiful this time of year!
@GingerPwr Out of the 150s! Whoo Hoo! Great job! Hard work pays off!
@Mrsbell8well I have been thinking about you. I hope you are eating enough to fuel your body, especially with those runs. I am sure you are as you always do the research before you start anything but I just needed to say something to be sure.2 -
@cyndiesstuff I keep missing you when I post! Lol! Yes, I think I was just tired, I felt much better yesterday. Good luck wrapping up the loose ends at work, do the best you can and don't give it another thought. He is going to have to pick it up where you left off. Hugs my friend. This is a tough time but you are going to get through it. Hopefully you will make a quick recovery and can enjoy a little spring before you have to go back.0

Had a pretty good day yesterday even though I was frustrated most of the afternoon. On Sunday the kitchen sink clogged. I used the vinegar/baking soda/hot water solution several times and the water would go down several inches below the drain then come back up while I washed a few dishes. Over and over again. So yesterday we went shopping for the powerful drain cleaner stuff and hubby said he'd take care of it. So I waited, and waited. A little after 4 pm when I wanted to start prepping our supper he finally decided to get to it. About 6 pm I decided I'd had enough and went to Subways to get us sandwiches. Yay! no dishes to clean up. The dishwasher was full to the brim waiting for the drain to be cleared and FINALLY it got run.
I need a break.
I am going out of town with my daughter and grand daughter on April 15 for five days, can hardly wait for that.
On a good note: I am getting closer to the next whole number on the scale. I haven't seen the lower 160s in a LONG time. Feels great.5 -

I stayed under calories but made it more difficult than I needed to. My food was logged in advance, but I kept eating it before I should! Like having my morning snack at breakfast and then lunch super early! So, I was pretty hungry by dinner when I couldn’t move that earlier. I’m going to try to stick to my food plan better today. I took an enjoyable hour walk outside since it was such a nice, sunny afternoon. Weather is supposed to get to the upper 60s today, so planning to get out there again! Meals and snacks are planned and logged for today, too.
@ljdanny I’m so impressed with how early you get up and over 20,000 steps is awesome!!
@sleepymom5 Those are such great NSVs! So exciting the shirt fit! You are doing really well and I’m inspired by all the changes you’ve made and successes you’ve had recently. I’m actually not sure if I need smaller clothes yet - I haven’t bought anything smaller since I started losing weight! Maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised like you! In any case, I need some nicer workout clothes for taking walks in public lol! And I just want some new spring/summer clothes 😊
@cyndiesstuff Thinking of you! Hoping everything goes well and it’s a smooth recovery. Sorry your last days at work have to be so stressful! I’m sure you’re right that new clothes would be motivating!
@twyla77 Nice job doing the best you can in Vegas!
@NuggetBrain, @phoebe112476, @Mrsbell8well and @Gingerpwr Great progress this week!
Hope you all enjoy your Wednesday!

Busy but good day yesterday and I had a great night of sleep. Feeling more energy today!
I'm planning to take a nice walk around the lake at lunch today instead of walking at the mall - it will be in the 60's today. We haven't seen it this warm since probably early November'ish.
Hope everyone has a fantastic day!!

I've had a devil of a time getting to this page. MFP keeps telling me I don't have permission. Nevertheless I'm in the wings rooting you all on!! Been a pretty good week so far... we'll see what the scale says tomorrow. Yesterday I made the 1 hr drive to where the nearest big box stores are... haven't been there since before Christmas because of all the snow, ice and flooding. I had quite a long list but its boring shopping... paper products, detergent, what not. Spent more than half the day which usually includes lunch or a coffee treat but I refrained because I was craving a burger and couldn't talk myself into anything healthier so returned home hungry and tired. Also didn't exercise. Back to my regular schedule today!
Have a great Wednesday everyone!4 -
@sleepymom5 that is so funny we are both writing responses at the same time! lol great minds.
@Mrsbell8well ohhh girl. that is a really nice loss. happy dance in the office.
@pacsnc6 omgosh at least you got it unclogged. the kitchen sink at my rental was clogged and we had to rent an auger to get it unclogged. your break is coming. come on april 15th!!
@Shirin_K at least you still stuck to the plan. sometimes your just hungry. I can't wait for it to get nice enough here to go for a walk. it will be for sure by time the doc tells me I can after my surgery.
@carlsoda I am glad you slept well. it really does make for a much better day. ahhh the 60's yes. great walking weather.
@nstephenson01 yeah mfp was having some glitches. hopefully they have them all worked out now. ohhh nancy. you hade a great nsv. you did not eat garbage when you were shopping. you are changing habits. ok... you didn't exercise but you did a lot of walking around the store. you day was a big win!!3 -
Day 3 of getting up at 4am and I'm at 15,000 steps, not bad. I was a little tired today. I was thinking of sleeping til 5 tomorrow and working out after work but then I remembered I have an appointment and then if I sleep in one day it turns into two days. But we will see. I am very tired today, my body may need the rest and I am very hungry. Not holding my breath for weigh in tomorrow. I do have an appointment with an ent coming soon so hopefully I can get some answers, tomorrow is only the eye Dr.3

@Mrsbell8well Nice loss! And looking good in your new photo!
@pacsnc6 Ugh! What a pain! At least you got subway out of it! Vacation sounds nice! Where are you going?
@Shirin_K Sometimes you just have days like that. I am glad you stuck to your plan! And thank you! I feel like I finally am getting it together!
@carlsoda I hope you got to get out and walk! Must be a beautiful place to take a walk. I can't wait to be able to exercise outside more!
@nstephenson01 You really are out there! I guess before the winter weather you had to really stock up! Good job on resisting the burger. I hope you were able to have something good when you got back. I have been hearing a lot of complaints with MFP lately, hope it is fixed soon!
@ljdanny You have been doing fantastic! It is hard to get up so early but isn't it nice to have it over with when you get home from work? Listen to your body though, if you need sleep, switch it around. Good luck at the eye doctor tomorrow. I am sure you will be happy after you see the ENT and hopefully see what is going on.3 -
