Starting January 2011

Just want to let you all know that keeping up will work in the end. Never knew what I was doing until I met MFP. Started in january and after a while it became rather easy to maintain my goals.
I am very pleased with the progression I made and I am sure that since I can you can!

Hi everyone, sorry I've been away. I'm not sure where I am on the scale of things, pardon the pun! I haven't logged for about 4 days. i haven't been pigging out, but I haven't been weighing either ( Mostly I've been having bread rolls, soup and home cooked meals, especially in an effort to cut out take out, even when keeping within my calories (as we all know what it does to our sodium and fat).

Anyway, I don't dare step on the scales at this point! Not until I've been logging for a while and notice a change. I have to get into planning my evening meals, which is my daily obstacle! But in preparation, I have bought loads of pre-packaged fishy meals, which I know pre-packaged is no where as good as home cooked, but I'm battling against the boardroom of weighting and measuring and my guestimating is getting out of hand, so this'll help. Also, my boozy friend is back from Aus, but I've said that I need a weekend in, to rest, but to also get a hold of my eating and get extra sleep (and cleaning to burn calories). Also, my influential partner is feeling the tightening of his belt and has started to get health conscious too, which'll be a big help, so I can get us both on track, he's also trying to start up an armature baseball club )

I stopped drinking coffee for a few days, unintentionally and I wasn't sleeping well, grumpy and got stinking headaches. I worked out it was caffeine withdrawal!! So, Thursday, I am going to give it up. My son is away from Friday for the weekend, so I can only get moody at myself and sit with a bottle of water, ibuprofen and herbal tea!!

@snockers3112 Sorry I wasn't there for you during a low moment. But I'm glad you came out of it positive! You're an inspiration and really doing well. A loss is a loss and a step in the right direction )

@marianne Keep up the great work! It's good that you're keeping so active and keeping within your calories. The evidence will always show on the scales in the end and you're proof of that!

@JanKoster Welcome to the thread and thank you for sharing! Keep up the great work and please do come back to the thread to let us all know how you're feeling, doing and thinking.

How is everyone?

I can't believe it, day one (again) and my colleagues who are back from holiday, bring back goodies from abroad (again). I was actually feeling very annoyed!! Gerrr I know I shouldn't. I sat at the table glaring at the goodies like someone had left dog mess in their place. Humph!
