@erikNJ you're not doing too bad. You're not getting a yes in all 3 but you have stayed under calories most days and that is awesome. Keep at it.3 -

So I'm doing a trial of Noom this week in parallel and you have to weigh in every day. I will say that it is apparent to me from our work the past month+ and from the daily weighing and even my weight charts from the past 5 years that I am incredibly good at maintaining. LOL....now I just need to figure out the magic key to get myself motivated to move that needle back down to my healthy maintained weight from 10 or 20 years ago!
And if you are interested, Noom is not a winner in my book. I am maybe too old for it, and I'm definitely on my computer too much and not my phone (it only works as an app). I find it kind of annoying. So you guys are stuck with me, and FREE is a great price MFP!
Yesterday and today back to walking before work - that works best for me

Wednesday, February 3rd
logged: yes
under: yes
exercise: Yes, a slow 60 minute walk. More than I usually do, but it was for another challenge, and it was a beautiful, sunny, (albeit chilly), day! My knee feels no different this morning, so no harm, no foul.
I gave my husband another eye opener yesterday. He hadn't barbecued in three weeks, so he made himself a couple of sausages on a bun with sauerkraut. He had some pickles and celery sticks to go with them. However, he likes to scoop celery into the peanut butter jar. (It's just us, and he doesn't double dip, so who cares). I was watching him, and I finally said, "You know, if you were going to scoop peanut butter with those celery sticks, you probably should have only had one sausage, because each scoop you make is roughly between 75 and 90 calories!" Of course, he had no idea, because again, most people don't consider the dip part to be that many calories; After all, you are still eating vegetables!2 -

@richmondwriter, I didn't know what button to hit...I "liked" the fact that you logged your food and went for a three mile walk with your puppy. I wanted to give you a "hug" for being over your calorie goal, and it was "insightful" that you contributed your overage to not enough protein!1 -
@annabananamc, that's very insightful information. I have also looked into Noom, and the weighing everyday is not something I like to do. You have to log your food, which we do on MFP anyways, and I've heard the food database isn't as good. I guess you get some sort of personal "coach"? But again, we can coach and support each other on MFP and, like you said, it's free!! And I am also on my laptop way more than my phone! But, like anything used to help us lose weight, it is a tool. And some people will find that kind of tool very useful, and others not as much. It is a very individual opinion. Glad we are stuck with you!2

@prehistoricmoongoddess
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son and ex-husband. I cannot imagine having to go through all of that and being the one to handle forms and their possessions so soon afterwards and to take care of your own health.
From your posts I imagine your grandchildren must think the world of you, as you have kept them in your Covid bubble spending time with them and dancing to "Teletubbies" with them.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us and we are always glad to have You update us on how You are doing. You have been doing amazing with your weight loss journey and are always an inspiration to us here at TBBT.

Thank you for your kind response to my message.
Unfortunately I am without a bubble at the moment as my youngest daughter is in the bubble with her daughter and grandson (who were living with me after his birth but are now back in their own home).
My eldest daughter is in a bubble with her daughter and granddaughter.
I live in an apartment and there are just two apartments on the top floor. My neighbour and I can each sit in our doorways and have socially distant corridor chats. This helps a lot and we message each other as well.3 -

Sorry I haven't checked in much, I've been busy at work and trying to rest once I've gotten home. My back has been messing with me off and on so I've been trying to take it easy. I will try to catch up and check in after work tomorrow! Keep up the great work, team!
@erikNJ we absolutely got hammered Monday night! I ended up staying home because the roads looked awful when I woke up. It was a good decision, none of my coworkers made it in, either.0 -

@HASWLRS Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I just completely missed it.
@RoseyandReady You're right - a new, new start. Half a pound up isn't that much gain. I have no doubt you'll burn it right off this month!0 -

@HASWLRS An hour well spent. I'm glad the walk did not bother your knee.
I think my biggest enemy is the peanut butter jar. A bad habit I picked up many years ago when I was pregnant and didn't feel like I had to worry about calories. But I'm not real sure about the celery.0
