I had friends on mfp that always seemed to find fault in what I was/wasn't eating, very discouraging!! So when I quit keto I also quit mfp but I know me...I NEED motivation/support or I won't last long on whatever diet I'm on.
I'm really excited about being here in this group. I don't know why I never checked out this part of mfp before
Looking forward to getting to know everyone and taking this journey with you.
@prowell57 this group may well be the only place on the internet I have never (and I do not use this word lightly) experienced negativity and the kind of beat-down the 'net can be famous for. You need to do what's best for you and that invariably involves some trial and error along the way. Slimpossibles offer a hand up, not a slap on the wrist. Welcome!2 -
I love how positive you are, so inspiring!!0

Calories: over
Water: under

I'm going to have to work hard at getting my water in as I'm not a big water drinker. So many things I need to work on...baby steps, one day at a time.1 -
@sunshineplace great loss! I hope your hip flexor feels better!
@mrmcgrath glad your weigh-ins are going well!
@prowell57 welcome to the group, I look forward to getting to know you! What a blessing that your husband is in remission. I can see why you'd get frustrated if people were criticizing what you eat. You do what works for you!
@MaegyS in the green!
@gwamajtw21 Sounds like a tasty meal, congrats on the loss!
@raleighgirl09 Very insightful post! You got this, take it one step at a time.

I used to live on diet soda. I switched to Crystal Light, then iced tea with stevia. When I work out I go through a few sports bottles of lemon water, it's also good with fresh mint and cucumbers but I cut my mint plants back too far to harvest much and cucumbers aren't that great this time of year. Luckily, my brother has a loaded lemon tree! Herbal tea at bedtime is how I stop snacking and unwind. Just thought I'd share in case one might help! I keep a travel mug of water with me everywhere.0 -
Thursday check-in
Calories- under
Exercise- bike, yoga for back
Water- over
Habits
Weight lifting 3xs a week- tomorrow is 3 but legs only.
Cardio 30 minutes- done
Core/stretching- on hold this week
Yoga- goal was 2xs this week and I did it, it's mellow enough that aside of laying on my stomach I can do most of it.
Decluttering- went through 5 boxes of paperwork, tossed most, one box to get shredded. Shouldn't have carried boxes to garage but really wanted them out of house! That, cleaning my bathroom mirror, and especially cutting a kabocha squash set my injury back a bit, I wish it wasn't my dominant side!
One new recipe a week- made maple soy salmon for dinner, it's an easy recipe but it counts!1 -

Ugghhhh ending the week in the red!!
My weight was up more when I started the new workout program because every muscle in my lower half was screaming in pain! Then it went down and then I ate Mexican yesterday and everything else in sight! I'm moving on and promising myself that I will do better next month! I'm also going to tweak my habit tracker in February.

@TeresaW1020, do we automatically roll over to February? I have enjoyed this but I think I'm in too many challenges right now to be able to really focus.1

My vision for 2020:
To find out who I am outside of “mom” since I will be an empty nester in the 5 months.
To love me no matter where I am at in my journey.
To pursue habits and hobbies that I will enjoy and that will enrich my soul.
To focus on total health (mind, body, and soul)
Don’t let any one weigh-in dictate what I do.
Choose to do the work.
Choose to show up & do the actions.
Don’t give up when you get your first bit of resistance.
Stick to your habits no matter what. Ignore your ego and avoid complacency.
Keep a connection with others who understand what this journey. Isolation is not helpful
Don’t hide when weight gain happens. Assume it will. Share your truth, and don’t let your mind tell you no one will understand.
Make up your mind that you are and will be successful.
Accept that this is your struggle, and you will not be fixed. I will need to continuously manage my condition.0 -

Yes, if you have been recording your weight then you will automatically rollover. Do you want to continue with us or would you like to be removed? We would hate to see you go but understand if you need to.

@raleighgirl09 your post brought tears to my eyes. THANK YOU for being so vulnerable and so real and facing your *kitten*. I feel like a lot of people hide instead facing their truth because they see it as failure and you are being honest in the face of a bad week and sharing it all. So proud of you! And by the way...trading those steps for your best girl is a good trade off in my books.
Thank you for your kind words. I’m struggling but keeping it real.
@prowell57 welcome to the group! You’re going to love it!0 -
Haha they replaced s h * t with kitten. 🙄. I figured I would be safe if I used the asterisk in place of the i. Apparently not.0

@katmary thank you. Sorry to hear about flaring up your injury. Hard to heal when everyday activities aggravate.
I too used to drink a lot of diet soda. I cut it out recently and have been wanting something else for a change. I’m going to look for the stevia iced tea. Thanks for posting that suggestion to @prowell57. I have discovered David’s Teas iced tea and really enjoy that as well.
@TeresaW1020 hang in there. Mexican will do that to you. Had weigh in been a few days later it would have been different.0 -
@davors19 good job maintaining!
TeresaW1020 Sounds like you have two good reasons for your weight to be up between sodium and retaining from sore muscles. Cool, I can tweak habit tracker for Feb? It's driving me nuts not to be able to check off the workouts I can't do until I heal, I changed up my bullet journal so it wasn't a double whammy!
@TeraBbreakingFree welcome to the group, it's great having you!
@sunshineplace I add stevia to tea, I always have a gallon of Lipton then make "special" iced tea that I'll make in my 4 cup measuring cup with various tea bags then pour in a large cup when cooled. I like all kinds of tea but one that's at most grocery stores that's sweet without sweetener and makes good iced tea is Good Earth Sweet and Spicy. It's black tea with cinnamon. I make my own cold brew coffee too, I go through too much to avoid plain water!1 -

Winding down January week 5.... =>
@prowell57 I hear ya on the water, this has been a challenge for me, as well. It got easier when I found a 4 cup container to drink from - and I only have to drink 2 a day to meet the goal. It's a mind game that helps me make it!
@TeresaW1020 man, can I relate. A restaurant meal can take me up several pounds overnight - you'll get rid of that, just keep pressing forward!
@sunshineplace I am so appreciative of the support and acceptance of my style of sharing and this goes both ways on the lump in the throat... => Diabetes taught me that there isn't any real lying to myself because the result is the result, telling on me every time. If I can face it, I think I can improve and then I find it turned out to be true and I did. I feel like it's ok to struggle but it's not ok to give up the struggle. Knowing what I know, I'm better off to keep on struggling and getting my little wins and stacking them up into progress forward. Nothing else makes sense.
@vanjan14 hope you had a wonderful vacation and all things considered, this is very doable for attacking with a fresh and rested spirit!
@cornanda week 5 January if your weigh day is Friday (3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st) @broncobuddee is really great at getting it to the right place in the spreadsheet... =>0 -

Week 1 - Feb 2020
Sunday
PW 163.8 (74.3kg)
CW 163.5 (74.2kg)
Not much change but least not added weight. Ate more bread this week for lunches. Next week is a busier schedule for me so hopefully will have less time to snack. Goal for the coming week is to eat fruit instead of sweet snacks. Eat more vegetables.
Wishing everyone a great week ahead.0 -
