edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
I joined this site in December of 07 and was very dedicated and lost 40 lbs. Weight loss slowed as I cheated more, then I stopped logging my food altogether. Over stressed with raising two rambunctious little girls, working a full time night job, no sleep:yawn: , and planning/budgeting our destination wedding has left me a few pounds heavier:grumble: . I think our cruise may have accounted for 3 or 4 of the gained weight.:heart::heart:
Now I still have my two precious girls, a night job, and no sleep, now my stresses of our upcoming wedding are now gone, and I can lighten up a little bit with our finances now that we no longer have to scrimp and save for our wedding. (:heart: Which by the way went wonderfully:heart:)
The nice weather is here again which definitely motivates me. We can BBQ again which I am super excited about, (love chicken and veggie kebabs off the grill)..... also we are in the works of a possible move to Florida (maybe in July) if job transfers go thru.... which means at *least* 7to8 months of the year are beach worthy:embarassed: .......def gives me motivation to shed some more pounds.
So after so many months of not being on here I am back.... thanks mfp for being there whenever I need you:flowerforyou:
Original weight (Dec 07) *258
lowest since starting MFP *216
This mornings weight *222
Goal is to be 200 lbs or under by July 1st
Good luck to everyone on their goals!!

    Thanks everyone, my first day back logging all my foods went well.... I was right at my calories for the day. Made lots of chicken on the grill last night, I even had enough calories left over for a small piece of kielbasa and some potato salad. So good!

    My almost 2 year old (birthday is friday) likes to go in the fridge in the morning (before I lock it up) and bring me whatever looks appetizing to her I guess..... whole raw eggs, butter, yogurt, bbq sauce, but this morning she brought me the leftover chicken from last night, so that is what we had this morning with an apple and some fat-free milk for me, regular for the girls.

    For lunch will be veggies or salad with a hot pocket..... my husband bought them in bulk from Costco.... dinner will either be chicken stir fry with the leftover chicken again, or possibly a turkey burger with grilled mushrooms.

    Need to add more exercise... I get some from work... some from playing around with my kids outside, but honestly not enough vigorous exercise trying to work that in too.
