So good to have you back! It sounds like you're a bit burned out and discouraged. I went through a bad burnout about 8 years ago. I wanted to do exactly nothing. Even things I usually enjoyed - nope. I got some help, and the idea that worked was to pick one thing from the list of all the stuff I thought I should be doing but could not make myself do. I had to do that one thing, come what may, every single day. Could not go to bed at night if it was not done. For me it was exercise, even if only 10 minutes. That helped slowly but surely. Maybe you could try the "just do one thing every single day" approach and see if it helps you get your mojo back.wow , so i've missed 26 posts..... i will catch up! seeing as i have another week until i can go back to work ..... had some holiday, then managed to injure my back, now off work.... feeling like there are so many things wrong with me right now and i am doing nothing to help myself, nothing to move forward, absolutely nothing , it's like i don't care enough or value myself , seriously, i know i'm worth it and i just want to be the old me who was active and could run and move and felt (and looked! ) good. But i just can't motivate myself!!!!!!
Any way , working on trying some hobbies....trying to learn photography....and how are your weeks going??
Photography is amazing (but hard for a visually clueless person like me!) - that must be something to learn to do well!
Keep us posted on your process - and give us a weigh-in for this week! Thanks

Welcome Grace! (I assume that is your name but I might be completely wrong
) I'm glad you found us. It would be wonderful to hear a bit about you, where you are, whatever you feel comfortable telling us about your goals, why you joined MFP, etc. In the new March thread, which will be open shortly I'm sure, we all re-introduce ourselves even if we have been with the team for a while, so you'll get to catch up and start to know the team.
Any questions or ideas, this is the place to post them!4 -

My body is doing a good job at the homeostasis game but not helping with the downward slope! Good thing I’m going to the gym at work tomorrow to get more movement in.
It’ll figure this next phase out. I’m ready!
Have a Good Friday, everyone!

Welcome Grace to our group.
Not much more tonight. Off to bed!5 -

So excited I am under 159! I has taken me like 3 weeks maybe even 4 to loose 1 lb!!!
Busy week again didn’t get to check in all week. Tennis elbow feeling better so started lifting weights again this week. I’m on call this weekend so that’s going to suck probably won’t be able to go to the gym but I will try.
I have decided on Noom for the program that I have to do through work. I have to wait for their email with the directions to start. Kind of excited for that.5 -
Great job so far on Friday weigh-ins - and @Pearl4686 - I know you'll get back on track soon. You know what to do! @Steph1498 - you put down 2.4 pounds! Don't pick those back up again - et on va se parler en français maintenant
Viens me voir au Québec!
@bunnybuns1111 - under 159 - well done! I know it takes ages, but you're getting there
It took me all month to get rid of 1.4 pounds, and I expect the 6.6 pounds left to lose will take approximately forever. But we're determined, right?
Happy Friday, everyone!
It is a snowy paradise here. The stuff is everywhere, and still drifting down. I went snowshoeing yesterday, of course, but it was miserable. The snow is wet and heavy, builds up under my boots and the hinged part of the snowshoe, ugh. But it sure works up a lot of sweat, panting, and (in this case) cursing. Shower earned. We should be getting some serious cold starting later today, so that will help.
I have started some radical de-cluttering, so somehow I have to bring 4 huge bags of stuff down the hill to the used stuff store in Sherbrooke. They have to leave the house! I'll strap it all to a toboggan (the person who invented bungie cords is one of the minor deities), and practice my cursing even more as the toboggan tips, slides off track, and does other evil things all the way down. When you load them kind of top heavy, they get seriously evil. But I can curse in several languages, so it is good for the soul.
Have a good one!2 -
I thought I hated chia seeds. Turns out they just really do need to sit in liquid overnight. The whole flavor changes. The person who told me 5 to 10 minutes was incorrect. =P
So I'm going to start adding those to my breakfast in an attempt to make breakfast more filling and slowly increase my fiber.3 -

I just ate some for breakfast - and you are absolutely right. Without that overnight swelling up thing they do, they are worthless! I use them to get more Omega 3s which are important to hopefully slow down my macular degeneration. I can't take the supplement, get sick of salmon and sardines, and chia seeds make great breakfast, puddings, etc. Your 5-10 minute person was definitely incorrect!3 -
@Jugar Thanks a lot. Yes I’ll introduce myself in March. I am still trying to figure out how to use this app. Even replying or finding messages is a big deal. I am getting better every day . 6

Hello WAISTAWAYS!!!!!
March team chat is open! Please see the link below. Feel free to go over and introduce yourself
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10787083/waistaways-team-chat-march-2020#latest3 -
As usual when the new team threads go up, we'll only post introductions over there until Sunday. Keep doing weigh-ins and other chit chat here until then!
If you want to re-use and update your intro from this month or earlier, I have them all collected on our team google doc, or you can just go back to the first page or two of this month. Hit Quote, select all, go to the March chat, paste it in. Delete the open and close quote (bracketed bits) so that it looks brand new, revise whatever you want, and it's done!
Just a straight copy and paste from the google doc is even easier if your bio is already on there -
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y_cLaQDEEoxZiulsWKKIPyfSGR5985PeQvWa6_wjKLA/edit?usp=sharing
I'll keep adding new ones to this document and everyone can edit their own bio any time they want.2 -

FINALLY! One of the good things about weighing nearly every day(for a year) is you really get to know how your body cycles. Now I know that my monthly cycle causes me to gain a decent amount each month. But, I know it's not real. It's water weight and probably other things related to my hormones. If I keep working out and eating right (log everything) it will all pay off when my hormones level out. Hooray for this cycles pay off!6 -
