    Steps:

    1/2 - 7533
    1/3 - 6290
    1/4 - 5735
    1/5 - 5185
    1/6 - 5056
    1/7 - 5151
    1/8 - 5282

    Things are going well, I have been fasting more and I feel better so I hope to back on track with my weight loss.
    I've been eating low carb and last night I made "hamburger helper". I made it with cauliflower and it was so filling.
    Trying new recipes this year to prevent the same old things/old habits from sneaking in!!

    Hope everyone has a very successful 2023 and good luck to all!!!

    See you on weigh in day!!!

    If you have a cell phone I suggest downloading candy crush game ...it is addicting but it does keep you occupied

    Have you ever tried latch hook or diamond art? Puzzles are another great way to keep our minds off food. Another good game to play is toon blast. If you have access to wifi there are lots of good shows on Netflix or prime.

    Steps: 12,975
    Sleep:✔️✔️
    Log food: ✔️✔️
    Exercise: ✔️✔️

    It’s injection day. Leaving in a few minutes. It’s also potluck day and my plan is to make good choices. I will try to log things as best I can.

    Hi Linda and Megan (and of course everyone else)

    I've decided to take a break from MFP for a while.

    The fact that I'm working with a coach and taking Ozempic for weight loss means that I'm currently not tracking my food as such. I'm writing down what I eat, but I don't weigh or measure anything.

    I'm more focused on eating when I'm hungry and listening much more to my body, which has really been a game changer for me, and I have to say that Ozempic is really helping with that.

    Since working with my coach and taking medication (8 weeks), I've lost more than in the 5 1/2 months before that.

    I also feel much more in control and I can think of other things than just planning my meals. So I really want to see how far this will take me, as I still have quite a long way to go before I reach my goal weight.

    I want to thank you both, and of course the rest of the team, for all your support during the past 7 months and wish you all good luck with your journey.

    Best regards,
    Irene

    I am sorry to see you go but it is great how well things are going for you. Reach out if you ever want to rejoin the team.
