Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

01/07-193.4-(Trend Weight 192.9)- My day yesterday was pretty good overall . My calories and carbs were under so I’m not sure why there was a bit of an increase. I’ll just have to trust the process and not let it put me in a bad and self-sabotaging place. I probably did not do the greatest on pure water consumption but there was plenty of black coffee which many health professionals count. No set exercise for me however. I’ve just been too lazy and have had no drive. I think part of it is just stress and depression. I have not had that conversation (meeting) with my contractor yet. He wants to wait a few days in order to use every moment on the project now that he’s done spewing his mouth and it’s my turn to talk. Oh well, the meeting WILL come but I do want the rest of that mud on the wall and have it get drying so we can progress. I’m not in a good place right now and it would take almost nothing to completely derail me. I’ve got to pull up the strength to continue to meal-plan, pre-log and get in some fitness/exercise. I can’t shut Donna and her health down over a smart-arsed contractor! I hate conflict!

01/08-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- So much on my mind with the renovation project and the trouble with my contractor. I’m going to cut him loose and find someone else to finish. He refused to sit down with me in a meeting and has been walking off the job or not showing up. I’m done with him! In a big dilemma for sure since my house is tore apart and my bed is in the middle of the living room. What a mess! I’ll just have to get through it. My meals yesterday were on point but I went a little overboard on the snacks last night so I don’t know what the scale would have showed. Every time I go outside first to feed the birds and squirrels, I end up coming in and grabbing the steaming hot coffee to warm my hands and then it’s too late to weigh when I finally realize. I have a hair appointment today. I will continue to try to keep my meals clean and eat all my meals at home even though I’ll be out for quite some time today. I must improve my snacks but it’s the hunger that is getting to me, not cravings this time. I even tried a protein drink the other night before any snacks later. It didn’t help. High fiber at dinner hasn’t helped either. My body must have gotten spoiled during the holidays and is now being a brat!

@deepwoodslady I'm so sorry to hear about your contractor. I sure hope you can find someone that you can trust. Sounds like letting him go is the best decision. Thinking of you in this very stressful time. 🫂

Hi everyone, I have been on mfp over 12 years now. I lost weight twice (about 12-15kgs) but gained it back. Now I’m almost at my heaviest and it’s urgent to lose due to my health, possibly fertility issues (pcos), and wedding in August.
I am 35 years old and work from home. I have a very sedentary lifestyle. I am trying to have a habit of going to the gym 3 times a week. I am 164 cm and started with 103.3 kg (31 December 2024).

Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been with group for a while. I started my journey in January 2023, and over the last two year have lost almost 90 pounds. With the help of this group I made it to the ideal weight loss range. Logging in Daily really keeps me on track. Now I'm working on a buffer to make it so I never hit overweight again. This round, I am going to change things up a bit - going to post my goal accomplishment daily, but only weigh in on Wednesday, we'll see how that goes!

I worked really hard since Christmas and it as paid off, lost all my weight from the holidays. My weekly calorie deficit was 2,375 calories - the math says that should be .67 pounds and guess what I lost .7 pounds - I guess the math worked this week! 😁

I’m working to cut out sugar since I have a bit of a sweet tooth. After 4 days with no sugar I gave in last night. Not a proud moment, but understanding the detox process the craving was REAL! Starting over today and the first thing on my list is to throw away all the food temptations!!
