    Good morning from UK Waistaways 🥰

    Not much planned for me today 😊
    Just work and little down time with family 🥰

    I was just wondering about MFP Premium. Do any of you use it? Is it still worth it?
    To be honest I only use MFP these days for our group, but I would like to start logging properly and use MFP for what it is. I hate that we lost newsfeed. I loved it 😢

    I hope you are having a lovely day 🥰

    Thanks for the update - do you have last Sunday, January 19 for me? The weeks run Sunday to Saturday and I don't think I had that one from your last update!

    I don't have MFP premium, never have.
    The only thing I am using MFP for right now is the community section, and logging my weight.

    @ashleycarole86 - Thursday, January 23 - 4,286 steps
    Friday, January 24 - 7,567 steps, 1 hour of CrossFit
    Saturday, January 25 - 3,944 steps
    Sunday, January 26 - 5,303 steps 45 minutes of walking/jogging

    I took Thursday off from the gym to rest my knee. Also, my mom needed help getting her furnace running again during the class time I could make. Friday I did the workout, but went a bit easy and wore my knee brace. All day Saturday (another day where I took it easy), my knee felt great. I woke up Sunday and went to the gym with the intention of doing a mile or two of walking/jogging/running and then a core workout. I forgot to wear my knee brace because it felt so good. I ended up doing way more damage to it. It hurts bad today. I've been r-i-c-e-ing it. Rest Ice Compression Elevation. That helps, but I wish I would have been smarter.

    @strong_fit_ells I have been on MFP for so many years and have never even used the trial. I don't need the features that it has (different calorie levels for different days, more customisation on macros, etc) and the barcode scanner is still working with free in Australia. I figure the database is exactly the same, so is the community, and I can accurately count my intake and not pay $129 a year! Ads don't bother me here, either.


    I feel YUCK, we had a long weekend and it ended up full of lovely food and booze, but today my angry gall bladder and its little rocky friends are telling me all about it. Official weigh in tomorrow and I do not have high hopes, though with the tummy doing the backflips it is, I think today will be a light soup day.

    @MaddawgMadsen oh no!! Too much on the knee too soon 😖 RICE is definitely the way to go.

    @Alatariel75 ugh you mentioning gallbladder is giving me flashbacks. I had mine removed in 2013. Best thing ever!

    I went for 2 short walks today and we went out to dinner (planned). I got grilled chicken and carrots. Then we went to a grocery store and I walked more. Well my surgical site is definitely letting me know it didn't like all that walking (only 4700 steps) so now I'm already laying in bed and just took some ibuprofen.

    I hope everyone has had a good Monday!

    Does anyone have a discussion question they would like to ask for this week?

    Well, last week was a fluctuation up, this week was down. I'm now officially at a "normal" weight! Have some more to go before I put myself in maintenance mode, but I'm happy about the progress I've made so far.

    I have been eating in maintenance this last week and lost some bloat from surgery. I am happy with this. I am still eating in maintenance as I don't want to stress my body too much. I definitely overdid it walking yesterday, so today is going to be a take it easy day.

    @lauren_989 may I please weight tomorrow? Monday was a holiday here and I was positive it was only Tuesday when I got up, so I didn't weigh!

    The biggest help for me this go around has been taking planned breaks from my calorie deficit. Previously, I would try to push through, be miserable, and give up. I've taken a 1-2 week break every 3ish months. I've also been following different social media folks this time around that I've really enjoyed (all on Instagram): ablack_fitness, adamwrightfitness, ericavillani, james_cappola, soheefit, bdccarpenter and amber_c_fitness.
