Good morning everyone!
Weigh in today was about where it was yesterday, and/but I woke up to shark week, so I know that always does weird things to my weigh ins.
Today will be the first day with my fitbit all day! It's cool that it tracks my sleep! I've got my walk planned for as soon as the sun gets up, and I'll use my little walk story app, and then do my chair conditioning, and that way hopefully get all my exercise done before everyone gets up today, that way I can't put it off if we get busy.
Happy cinco de mayo! Dinner tonight at my house is going to be taco meat, pico, guac, and taco potatoes, with the option for my fam to add it into a tortilla. Not for me, though.
Tag party time!
@kristinwoods919 that's so cool that you've got that kind of competition inside the house! I love that.
@jenhuey01 a cruise, how exciting! welcome! I am most successful logging when I prelog for the day. It can happen a lot of different ways, but the way I do it, especially for the work week:
While I'm meal prepping, I'll log my portions for each day as I go, so then I've got my coffee, breakfast, lunch, and work snacks logged for every day. Then as the week goes on, I log my dinners before I eat them, and any after-dinner snacks. That helps me to 1) know how much room I have for dinner every day, but then 2) takes most of the work out of logging, since most of the day is logged already.
Doesn't work for everyone (some people don't meal prep), but I found even when not prepping, if I pre-log a general idea of what I want to eat the next day, logging ends up easier.
@vanzeem15 welcome! looking forward to hearing more from you!
@girlinkaz744 my phone isn't allowed on me at work, so sometimes I'll make a tally on a post it just so I remember to log it later, haha!
Have a great day, everyone!3 -

Down 2.4 lbs so far this month! Feeling great and focused on taking great care of myself. When I feel like emotional eating I reach for self care instead. I did feet masks, painted my toenails, shaved my legs, yoga, landscaping, reading and even coloring this past week whenever I was noticing boredom or emotions that would usually lead to unnecessary eating.
Something I did for the FIRST TIME EVER yesterday was pre-log some cocktails I wanted to have with hubby last night so I could enjoy them and not go over my calorie goal. In the past I’d always start having drinks AFTER my day was complete and then feel guilty etc while going WAY over my calorie goal then saying F it and over eating, over drinking and giving up on all of it. I enjoyed the drinks and don’t feel at all bad or like I need to “start over” today!
I also started running again this month! I logged 3 total miles running and 4 miles walking so far. My goal is 15 miles each this month. I even started taking my boys with me!
@krabuck way to go on your loss!🤩🙌🏻
@CupcakeCrusoe we’re doing tacos today too! Have you tried the Xtreme Wellness tortillas? They’re great for low carb/cal taco nights! 🌮
@vanzeem15 WELCOME!!!!!👏🏻
@jenhuey01 My food scale and a notebook sit right on my counter where I can see them. A lot of times I’ll weigh foods and write down the grams then log later or after the meal. You’ll get the hang of it! My diary is open if you need ideas/tips/inspiration etc. Feel free to add me as a friend! I used MFP after my first was born to lose 50+ lbs so I feel confident now in how it all works!
@kristinwoods919 that’s so cool your kiddos are active like that! That’s a HUGE reason why I’ve never given up on my goals to be athletic, I wanna do ALL the things with my boys when they’re older!
@mkculs13 keep going sister! It’s so hard when you’re in pain. I’ve got an angry right knee that drives me nuts and I hate when it flares up. Remember that weightloss is 80% nutrition so even if ya can’t crush those miles you can take great care of yourself with food, water, rest and self care!
Keep going everyone! Your posts are so motivating and encouraging!

GW: I don't have one. Just want to be healthier and feel better.
I'm upping my calories just a tiiiiiny bit. I feel like that's a lot of weight in not a lot of time. I have pretty much given up alcohol so it could be related to that. But I am also walking more so I have to account in that. I'm a bit more active than I was the last go around. Getting two puppies does that to you!
Also, anyone who wants a friend, just send a request!
Also also, if you guys haven't checked out the Finch App- it's amazing. It's really helped me stay accountable. I think the three weeks I've had it is the first time I've done jumping jacks and squats every day since I was in high school!

Sigh, the dip down was indeed a false alarm but hey, I’m still in the 160’s (barely!). I’m also pretty sore today from some aggressive workouts the last few days, so my guess is my true weight is somewhere in between the last two weigh ins. I want to get down to 165ish before I up my calories, so I still have a little ways to go.
I am noticing that I have tons more energy now! It’s funny because compared to the last time I lost weight, I had much less to lose this time, so I thought that I wouldn’t feel the results as dramatically. But no, I’ve been feeling an significant uptick in my energy, my desire to workout, how I feel when I look at myself in the mirror, etc. Last night after work I even went on a walk (even though I didn’t “have to” for my workout schedule) because I wanted to do that instead of watch tv. I guess this really is my goal range, a range that’s good for me and my overall health and well being!
You guys are doing amazing!!! Keep up the good work!!2 -
Hello everyone!! Just found this thread today and would love to join. I've been a user of MFP since 2011, off and on. My journey has been quite the rollercoaster. Currently I have hired a coach to help me reach my goals. I want to lose fat and gain muscle, however long it takes. For me, this isn't about the destination, it's about the journey!3

Hello. I'm new!
I am 52 years old and starting at 257.
Monthly goal is 5-8 pounds. Target weight is currently 150, but honestly I'd be tickled pink to see 198!!
My issue: I hate prepping and cooking. I need quick grab and go food, or I fall off the apple cart rather quickly. Also, every tooth in my head is a sweet one. I can manage that, if I don't let myself get too hungry.4 -
Good morning everyone!
My weight is staying irritatingly stable, but it's shark week. I did 13k steps yesterday! Amazing. I did my chair stuff too, and I feel sore today. So... there's that.
I went on a baking spree yesterday, making a no-bake lemon pie and Earl Grey tea cake. I'm taking both to work today, that stuff's not going to be in my house, lol. And I'm going to take in the rest of the cinnamon rolls, my coworkers will love me today,
But both recipes turned out well, I tried a bit of the lemon filling and I took a corner off the cake this morning. They're both very good. (The lemon pie is so easy- 1 can condensed milk and .5 cup lemon juice, mixed together and put in a graham cracker crust!)
For today! After work, I'll do my little walk for my little mental health (and the storyline!), then my chair conditioning and practice. I think dinner tonight will be the chicken cobbler from tiktok. Or maybe pasta and sausage. We'll see whether I want to stop by the store to get the biscuit mix and rotisserie chicken today.
Tag party time:
@krabuck girl I'm still watching the show! Trash TV every day!
@katrose1985 it's so nice to have a treat already logged, isn't it? Takes all the illicit-ness out of them so they feel better. I love that your running is a family affair, that's so fun!
@danikat15 yoooo I'm downloading that Finch app right now, it looks so cute!!!

🌸Weekly Check In • 5/6🌸
SW: 237
LW: 236
CW: 236.8
GW: 165
One thing I want to improve from last week:
Less caffeine during my fasting hours. Making a goal of 1 cup of caffeine a day.
One thing I enjoyed from last week:
🌸Being back in my community 😊
🌸I did hit 233 Friday morning and that felt nice. But, I went out drinking and had a fair amount of salt & sugar over the weekend. Hopefully it’s just bloat and with some water I’ll be back down by Wednesday.
NSV:
🌸 I pulled out my hot gurl/ summer clothes over the weekend. Happy to report they still fit, and some were actually loose.
🌸 My sleep has been amazing!
🌸 Personal reflection & accountability. I was reflecting on why the scale might be going up and I think it’s the spoonfuls of extra crunch PB I’ve been eating as my snack. Or, it may be lack of water. I’m going to avoid PB today and see what happens.
May Goals:
🌸 2 week IF streak, I found an app that keeps me on track. ✔️
🌸 7-8 Hours of sleep a night
🌸 229 on the scale

Hello I am back after 1 1/5 years of full-time work when I didn’t have time to get on here. Recently with a stressful last week of full-time and celebrating semi-retirement I gained some. However I think that is already coming off.
The difference now is that I always gain when I work full-time and I am able to lose when I don’t work full-time -the economic downturn I was unemployed for a while (lost 40 lbs.) and during the pandemic (20 lbs.). So I feel I know how to slowly lose this weight. However before I didn’t have any health issues. Now I do have some but eating right and getting stronger should help.
🌼Will you be trying anything new this month? Or is it back to the tried and true methods that have been working for you so far this year?
I am back on MFP, back on this group and am transitioning to full-retirement. My1st retirement goal is my health.
🌼What are you looking looking forward to this May? Is there anything you're worried about for the rest of spring?
Setting up a healthier routine and start at getting more exercise and eating healthier which for me is cooking healthy meals at home.
🌼And what is one thing you'd like to remind yourself (and others) not to worry about or stress over this month?
Remember this is a transition period and I don’t have to do it all right away.
🌼Will you be trying anything new this month? Or is it back to the tried and true methods that have been working for you so far this year?
I am setting up a new schedule based on working between 15-20 hours instead of full-time.
🌼What are you looking looking forward to this May? Is there anything you're worried about for the rest of spring?
I am looking forward to having more time where I can chip away at things I need to get done. I am alot weaker than I was lately so I am looking forward to getting stronger. I missed this group.
I post weigh-in when I lose. I weigh daily when I am trying to lose weight.
May GOALS!
⭐ Aquafit 2 days a week and walk between, add in a day of weight training,
⭐ Plan and cook healthy meals at home
⭐ Work up to Logging daily on MFP and tracking on my spreadsheet start by checking in more so I can keep up with the posts on this thread better.
⭐ Eat at a sensible deficit - staying within my calorie goal (I am staying with the one I had before and seeing how that goes
⭐ Drink plenty of water and get enough sleep
@readgal89 I am researching things that help metabolism etc. I do try to get more cinnamon but heard you need to use Ceylon cinnamon. I put cinnamon in my oatmeal and I try to use a half a banana to sweeten it instead of sugar. I am thinking of finding or making chai tea with cinnamon and other healthy spices but have to figure out to make it slightly sweet without sugar.

Starting Weight: 215.4 March / 8.2
Starting Weight: 219.2 April / 5.2
Starting Weight: 218.4 May /
Goals for 2024 > Trend downwards. My ultimate goal weight is between 140 - 150. While I'd like to lose about 5lbs a month, I'm focusing instead on actions that could/should result in that loss.
2nd Quarter Goals
- Exercise - 6x a week ~ changed worked out (ST 2 days per week per body part), Added HIIT
- April - added HIIT, started with a slight jog then reduced to more of a less impact fast walk
- Water - working towards 80 to 100 ounces daily ~focusing on hitting 64 for 2 days and 80 for 1 day, then continually increase each week.
- Now consistently between 90 - 100
- Better Nutrition *Work in Process * Planned the entire month of March April dinners using skinnytaste.com.
- Made many new meals then ran into my issue with portion control. If I tastes good then I'm more likely to over do it. So....being more mindful of this.
- Less Alcohol * Work in process. Struggling here as I just want my wine or whine🙂
- January ✔️ February ✔️ March ❌ April a mix.
-
- Get back to 10,000 steps a day (minimum) ~ the HIIT workout (on treadmill) is helping with steps.
- Target 10 times for April.
- Let see if I hit it....9 DAYS over as of 4/30. But May 1 was 12,717 if that counts🙂
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!

Hi all. Just getting back into a fitness regime this week. Weighed myself this morning and was surprised to see that the number was higher than I've been at, so obviously I need to make some changes. For me, it's as much for vanity as it is for health and well-being.

@Jcook215JC ~ I am always interested in what a dietitian has to say, and I am still struggling with the higher calorie range that has been suggested lately. It’s probably a good thing. I started off at 1850 and lost about 8 lbs and then went down to 1650 and the scale is not consistently moving. I feel like I’m more in maintenance than in a deficit to lose, so I may have to try something different. I pretty much steam or grill (air fryer setting ) my veggies ~ spray with a little olive oil, comes out quite tasty!
@CupcakeCrusoe ~ I think you have a good focus. I don't think perfection is sustainable.
@LisaKatz2 – congrats on being ahead of schedule. That’s gotta be a great feeling.
@Sharon81 – I am exactly the same as you. I try not to deprive myself of anything because that just leads to binging. When you know you can’t have something, that's the first thing you want, and I’m not that strong. I’m better off having small amounts of everything versus removing something completely. Your dinner experience is exactly me. It’s not the bad stuff. I just finished an experiment during April, making a lot of recipes from the skinnytaste.com website. A few of them were really good. Well, when they’re really good, I don’t just have one serving. It's usually 2 or more. The good news, these recipes are typically lower in calorie so there is a little more wiggle room. I just try to make sure that I leave room calories for that overage because I know I’m gonna do it. I think it’s called portion control.
My attitude regarding exercise is just doing it. Don’t think about it just do it. That's one reason I exercise first thing in the morning. I absolutely hate core and abdominal work. I’m not thrilled about cardio. I try to find a distraction while I’m doing cardio (on my phone). The only thing that is in my favor is that I do enjoy the strength training. I do because I can feel myself getting stronger (as I increase weights) and I feel my body building muscle ~ it’s just that huge layer of fat that’s on top of it all that’s the problem! But, I do hear yoU!! When all is said and done though, you are making some great progress!
@readgal89 – good luck on getting into and fitting nicely into the extra large dress. I’m sure you’ll do it. It’s interesting about the people who ask about your goal to lose weight and find out that they are actually smaller than you but probably don’t look as good. That's actually a compliment to you🙂 What I've learned is that’s where maintaining the muscle comes into play, and that’s kind of what I’m hoping, to keep muscle and the fat disappears, and I’ll have this fairly decent-looking body. That’s the plan. That’s the hope that’s the goal. Fingers crossed. But yes, you are correct, everyone is different and there just isnt't any comparison!
@CeCeFlyy – glad you’re back. I know it’s tough. I’ve been going up and down up and down, but I just try to hang in there. One day it’s gonna all come together. What is the app that you’re using for IF that keeps you on track?
@jenbroussard71 – there is something to that annual jump on the doctor scale even though you’re fully clothed, so you know it will be higher than at home. It’s kind of nice to see that number from year to year to know if you are truly making progress, especially with all the fluctuations that we see from day-to-day, week to week, and even month to month, so kudos to you for getting that marker in!
I was struggling big-time with water, in the past couple of weeks, I bought a huge container holding 50 ounces, so I only have to fill it twice a day. It also has a straw, and for whatever reason, I seem to be drinking a lot more water with the straw. It does keep the water at a nice temperature, not ice cold but chilled, so it’s easy to drink. I’ve increased my water intake from an average of about 50 to 64 ounces to between 90 and 100. I’m gonna get to that hundred mark then I’m going to stay there for a while. I will eventually get up to 120, but if I never get there, I’ll be good at 100.
More later 2 -
Good morning everyone!
My weight is still a complete flatline, lol. On the plus side, I once more got up over 10000 steps yesterday by adding a nice hourlong walk around my neighborhood (thanks, The Walk app, LOTR walk app, and Finch). I also tried out Pokemon Sleep last night, but since my phone is my alarm clock, I couldn't put it face down on my bed (I like the alarm to use light to brighten, so that Whatsisface could potentially sleep through it) like the app wants you to do. Still fun.
Today! Short workday, followed by the last of Babby's swim therapy in school, then preparation for the sidewalk meeting tonight, a nice long walk and chair practice, then cleaning the house, kids get home, actual sidewalk meeting, then bed. Whew. It's a lot. But it's going to be good. Dinner is going to be outsourced- there'll be pizza at the meeting.
Tag party time!
@jenbroussard71 you're doing great! Glad to hear the dinner party went well.
@KeriA so glad to see you back, and I'm so excited for you to have more time to do the things you like to do (like aquafit!) again.
@itladyee the straw thing is so real! I drink way more water with a straw for some reason, too!
@Tsalite vanity is what is driving me more than health these days, too, welcome!
Whatsisface keeps getting these candid shots of me, and I actually look pretty good from his (6'0"-1") perspective, haha. This is probably lower than the top of his head, though. I'm 5'4", for reference.
Gotta appreciate the progress even if I'm not where I want to be, yet.
Have a great day, everyone!

@itladyee somehow it's so good to hear that I do not struggle alone!! Thank you for sharing. It has been so nice out here that I have been tooling around in the yard a bit here and there and have gone on a couple of short walks. Thank you for your kind words!
@CupcakeCrusoe I have downloaded the Zombie app. I'm not much of a zombie person, but the idea of a story intrigues me. It says that there will be an in app purchase and I have not gotten that far yet. I have not done a story yet but will let you know how it goes when I do and if it does cost money. If I like it and it's reasonably priced I will purchase it. I don't typically pay for apps... so we'll see. Thank you for all the advice and encouragement!
Weigh in day tomorrow and I am feeling confident. Down -0.2 this morning! hoping for 183. something tomorrow. 0 -
🌼Will you be trying anything new this month? Or is it back to the tried and true methods that have been working for you so far this year?
Actually, going back to the tried nd true methods that I abandoned the past couple of months. I find something that's working but then I don't stick to it (why??) because I think I can get around the system. Fails every time!
🌼What are you looking looking forward to this May? Is there anything you're worried about for the rest of spring?
Getting back on track and seeing the pounds come off...and then sticking with it. I think it's easier to stay with a program in warmer months as there is the desire (for me) to be more active and with more activity there is usually less eating (of not so good stuff).
🌼And what is one thing you'd like to remind yourself (and others) not to worry about or stress over this month?
Don't worry about the number on the scale, just think about how you are feeling and what you can do to make yourself feel even better!!
@danikat15 ~ Welcome back. Sorry to hear of the passing of your grandfather. Disney will be fun! Cute puppies.
@krabuck ~ good advise, just keep putting the work and it will get you there.
@katrose1985 ~ Welcome back! Good luck training for a full marathon. Oh and what a cutie in the picture That chicken bowl looks good. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
@40poundsnow @mkculs13 ~ Good luck with the total knee replacements. My husband had one 8 years ago and just did the other a year ago.
@jessicaex_oh ~ Good luck on your journey, let us know how we can help you!
@girlinkaz744 ~ nice job on the trip and coming back to a loss! So exciting and motivating! You held on to the 160's so that's a win!!
@jenjuey01 ~ Welcome! Re Logging, I find prelogging,IE: planning, works best. Then you just go back and tweak what you didn't have or what additional showed up on your plate Also, if you find you eat the same foods daily, you can "copy" them from day to day.
@vanzeem15 @beastmode_kitty @Pamelyb ~ Welcome! Lots of newbies
@KeriA ~ Welcome back! Congrat on your semi-retirement. It is my plan to semi retire in Sept or Oct (15 to 20 hours a week) and then full blown retirement in 2025 unless the 20 hours seems a breeze and requires very little effort on my part!
@Tsalite ~ Hi there. Vanity works as well
Wishing everyone a successful week!

Thank you. He was 95 and lived an amazing life. Just hit me super hard.
@danikat15 ~ Welcome back. Sorry to hear of the passing of your grandfather. Disney will be fun! Cute puppies.

-.02 from last week so I am happy with that, especially after having an "I don't give a crap, I'm hungry!" kind of weekend. The one think I notice over and over again this time around (for the last time 😉) is that when I do go off and even way off for a weekend, I tend to still be super mindful of what I am doing and work hard at mentally if not manually logging the food as to not get crazy with it. Even when I do, I find that I always find my way back after a couple of days. As I stated yesterday, I am enjoying the nice weather that we've been having... (Rain today 🙁) and that has helped to get some more movement in my day. I went for a short walk yesterday and tried the Zombie app. It just stopped playing the story after it told you to run.... I am not sure if it was supposed to or not... but I ended up listening to music instead.

Good morning everyone!
My weight steadiness is really messing with my head! Mercury in gatorade, etc. Also I've been closer to maintenance cals than I might like, lately. So gotta crack down.
Yesterday was great- short workday, swim therapy, nice walk, workout, cleaning, and advocating for improving my city.
Today, work, cleaners come, so I'll come home to a nice clean house, I'll cook the tiktok chicken cobbler, hopefully get some chair practice in, then video games with the bois. I need to put in the grocery order, which means I need to make the meal plan. And I'll probably walk at lunch. In The Walk, my walk story game, I have to get a device to edinburgh.
Tags tags tags!
@sharon81 so weird! When I did the zombies run app, it would have a section, tell me to run, I would listen to music or whatever, and then it would come back in a few minutes later with the next part of the story. The Walk, their walk equivalent app, does the same thing. Congrats on a loss, however small it's progress!
@itladyee I definitely find I want to be outside doing things more in the spring. not as much in the summer, haha.
@danikat15 oooh, nice big road trip!
@fenfer87j oooh , disc golf! I was never good at it, but I loved the idea of it, haha.
Have a great day, everyone!

@CupcakeCrusoe Maybe I didn't wait long enough... I think I need the walk app instead if I try again. This looked like it had you running for 4 minutes. I'd be lucky to run 1 minute and if I hit end run, it ended the session.... I think... I will play with it and see what happens.0

I lost track of time and missed logging Monday’s weigh in. Can’t believe we’re 1/3 of the way through May! SO much time spent at track meets, softball games, karate practice, and concerts this month. Throw in a couple birthdays and viola! there goes the time! Loving it all though and getting lots of vitamin D ☀️ Feeling exhausted but I need to get out the shovel today and dig up some brome grass before tonight’s game. Just not feeling it though 🥱
Eating well has not been happening so I’m making a change as of today. I do much better when I get to stay home and keep with my boring (❤️) routine. Life happens so I need to figure out how to handle it better.
I’ve read your posts and am so encouraged by the progress and dedication of you all. Healthy living is the primary goal here and I love it! Also enjoying the food and pet pictures. Thank you!

Weight has remained the same for the month at 238. I'll just keep to posting when I can without the month challenge perspective.
Working on getting things packed so I can eventually be at DH's house. Slow going as we have to move things at his house to make room. Went through most of the kitchen last night to see what space I could have and to get rid of the things he hasn't touched in a long time if ever.
A bit unclear if I'll be fully over at DH's house or if I'll be working from mom's house during the day with just sleeping at DH's house. Soon very soon for getting close to either of those though.0 -
Happy Friday weigh in day.
May 3- 220.5
May 10- 218.2
I am happy with the weigh in this week. I had to eat late last night which I hate doing. Hopefully the rest of you are having a great week.4 -
I have had a good week so far (weigh in on Monday), but today is lunch with the girls at the office at a Mexican restaurant. This is my first time facing chips and salsa since i got back on track. I plan to drink lots of water and concentrate on the conversation so I am not mindlessly eating the chips. I plan to order fajita meat and veggies. Then there is Mother's day this weekend. I must stay strong....
Hope you all are having a happy Friday!1 -
Hi all. I've been away for a while. More weight to lose now. I'm back at it and determined. Starting slow with some light exercise daily in the mornings and calorie counting. I hope to do it this time! Hope you're all well3
