Yesterday I felt as if all I wanted to do was eat. Also woke up yesterday and today with a massive migraine. But Aunt Flo came so at least I know why yesterday was a chow fest. Lol. Here’s to a better day.2

Morning team
I love looking through the Success Stories section and seeing everyone’s before and after photos. I’ve noticed that people get a lot of “Woo’s” on their success stories/before & after photos. Maybe it’s just a case of mistaking the Woo reaction for “woohoo” or do people use it as a “dislike” button? (I’m still getting to grips with everything on MFP) Just a thought I had this morning as I was scrolling through the Success Stories!
Hope everyone has a great day 🤗
I really think it’s a case of mistaking it as a woohoo! 🙌 🥳 🎉 I used to use it thinking that and a member had asked me why I disliked her comment...well nope, I was congratulating! I never it now! 😜👍👏1 -

@vicky2767 That was me last Wednesday and I didn't realize I was about to get a visit from Aunt Flo and when she showed up Thursday, I was like "Oh that makes sense" lol0 -

You are both braver than me. I would have never taken "before" photos in my underwear...much less post them on the internet. In fact I only have the one photo in existence of me at my fattest. I hated to even look in the mirror.

@cydneebauman Great pics. It's nice to see your progress when you've worked so hard.0

Daily post for Tuesday
Track: yes
Calories: I could have been under...... but I ate cookies. On the plus side, the cookies are gone now!
Exercise: 35 lunges per leg
Water: 160 oz
I got invited but didn't go to my brother's house for dinner, which is good, because I would have eaten much more.
Ate cookies while figuring out what to do for dinner for me and my daughter. Decided on a kid classic. Bread pizza!! Haha
She loved it. And if I didn't have cookies, it would have fit in my calories easily.....
Oh well. No more cookies though!2 -
@dracocapricorn I believe that in our group, The Slimsons, we use the “woo” reaction as a positive “woohoo!” However, I came across this information below earlier
How would this EVER be obvious to anyone who doesn't read this first 😂 what a weirdly particular thing for it to mean "officially"...1 -

✅Track: yes
✅Calories: under
✅Exercise: loooooads of walking (farm trip with my daughter's nursery...I'm counting it bc I didn't sit or rest or stop moving for around 4 hours today 😂)

Other people's explanation of it is still better than the official one.....
Outside of this thread, I interpret the "woo" as 2 things:
1 - eye roll
2 - a passive aggressive "I don't like what you said but won't comment on it".0 -
Right, exactly, the whole thing is well, less than ideal lol. I mean why not just have a dislike button or something, like facebook, just saying. I mean really, they should have reactions much like those anyway.@dracocapricorn I believe that in our group, The Slimsons, we use the “woo” reaction as a positive “woohoo!” However, I came across this information below earlier

🌟Daily Post: Wednesday, 10 July
✅Track: Yes
✅Calories: Under
✅Exercise:I’m not sure how long I’ve been walking today but I’m at 2,816 steps so far. Just about to do a quick 10 minutes on my exercise bike now.
💬Comments: I’m another one who is craving chocolate and junk in general. What is going on?! 😆 Over the past few days I’ve definitely been letting my emotions control what I’m eating if that makes sense. I really need to put a stop to it as of now. It’s not making me feel better and it’s not getting me any closer to my goals 🙂0 -

@o0kody0o One of my favorite quotes is "what food can do. " I used to have it up on my wall above my desk for a looong time until I got my emotional eating under control, now I like to think of myself as not dieting but eating for my goals and those are important to me so I do a much better job of eating better now than I did for years.
It's really a different mindset and can be hard because a lot of what we have been taught our whole lives is food is a reward, celebrating when things go right, celebrating life events, and eating our feelings when things go wrong, and that is a hard habit to break.

@AB0215 thanks for this! I’m going to save that photo to my phone so I can keep it as a reminder if you don’t mind 😊 You’re so right about being taught food is a reward. When I’m stressed, feeling low or if I’ve had an argument, I go to food. I take medication for anxiety/low mood and had ran out of it for about a week there, which led to me eating junk food because of how I felt. Thankfully I got a new prescription and I’m feeling much better already. I can now focus on things with a clear head 🙂 Thanks again Ashley.1

@CindyJNC1963 I really can't stress enough the importance of the pictures, it's really helped me (and even recently) to visualize the progress, my last 13 lbs have really shaped my body, probably the most, I'm developing a figure and I have never had that, I've been overweight since puberty so this is all uncharted territory for me, I have nothing to compare it to and had no idea what I'd look like at a healthy weight.0 -

Only 2 lbs up from last Friday. 5.2 lbs up from two and a half weeks ago, my lowest so I need to hit this before it gets out of hand. Haven’t completely sabotaged things so just need to jump right back in!!
You got this just keep striving towards your goals !Yikes! The long holiday weekend had be away from my computer. I successfully logged Thursday and Friday, partially logged on Saturday and didn't do any yesterday. Oops...And I had almost 300 notifications (half were from this group!). I doubt I'll get caught up, but...for those of you who did great - YOU ROCK!! For those who had some struggles - it's a new week, time to let that go and start again. We got this!!!

Comments: the struggle was real today! I got too hungry and my fridge was too bare of pre prepared stuff like I normally have knocking about, so from about 5pm onward I caved, and caved, and caved again. It's okay, it won't dribble through into tomorrow. I did it, it's done, and no hard feelings to myself bc the whole self-punishment thing I'm just not into anymore. So 🙌🙌 for a fresh day tomorrow!
I'm with you Laura, I've been caving in alot but STAYING under my calories but it's not necessary good as I'm eating empty calories. So like you starting fresh and not looking at what happen yesterday.CindyJNC1963 wrote: »CindyJNC1963

I have been really hungry lately. Everything unhealthy at the grocery store looked good on Friday. I managed to stay strong and stay away from the junk food. However, I did eat a banana pudding at lunch today and I'm paying for it now. I usually have an afternoon snack but I'm not doing it today and I'm hungry....plus I feel guilty for eating all of those carbs. I'm not sure why I did it. It's one of my favorites and I am super stressed out. I guess those were two bad factors colliding. Back on the wagon now.
We all give in but you're absolutely right get back on the wagon and stride forward towards your goals👍🏾👌🏾

Happy Transformation Tuesday Team!
I've decided that it's time to do my progress pictures again, these last 13 lbs I've lost have really seemed to shape my body in a really dramatic way, starting to see a shape I don't think I've seen my entire life, so I'm really pretty excited about that and I can't wait to finish what I started and get the last bit of weight gone!
Hope this reminds everyone that we can do this, and it's taken me more than 2 years to get to this point, but it's been worth every day that I struggled to get here. My life is so much different and so much better than it was!
Let's go out there and crush our goals!!
So proud of your progress and your looking absolutely fantastic0 -
Daily Post Tuesday
Track yes
Calories yes under
Exercise no
Water 140oz
Goals/comments due to my chest pain I stop my psych meds and blood thinners testing out a theory cause my pain is increasing instead of decreasing and everyone is telling me to go back to the ER which is a waste of my time since they ran all the tests and it was all negative. Really trying to think positive but its getting difficult with chronic neck, back and knee pain and now my chest!
Daily Post Wednesday
Track yes
Calories yes under
Exercise yes 30 minutes of PT Session and 15 minutes walking
Water 160oz
Goals/comments
So I'm back to eating my normal meals but got home late so no dinner. Missed my pulmonologist appt because my ride didn't show. But the food news is although my back is killing me today due to lack of drugs I still press my way to my PT session and did mostly stretching exercises to loosen up my back but I HAD NO CHEST PAIN FOR 85% OF THE DAY which is a great improvement so my self-diagnosis is working so far. I'm feeling a little now but was able to accomplish a lot without any discomfort. So today was a good day despite some mishaps
YEP I'M STILL STAYING POSITIVE2 -
