Hi Kristen.
Thanks for starting the new Fall thread.
Current weight 143.5 lbs.
I am now almost back at my ticker weight -- just need to lose one more pound. I can't believe that I lost the weight that I had gained while out of town so quickly.

Jillfrisch - Great job sticking with only 1 cookie and not indulging in the rest of the sweets!!
GoldK -- I can't really taste a difference between Olive Oil and Vegetable oil when I cook with them, altho I can see and taste a difference between these two if I just taste them plain before cooking. Can you taste a big difference when you cook with Coconut Oil? If so, I'm guessing it tastes better than Olive Oil and Vegetable Oil???
Good news! Lost that extra pound and am now back to my ticker weight. I hope that I can keep it off for the rest of the week!!! :happy:

Did you try anything new on yesterday? Well, although I did not mean too... I did not eat supper at all and was under 500 calories for the day. This was not intentional. First time not hungry enough to even get up and have something -- even to make myself.-- in over 30 years!!! So... that I am calling something new, but did not intentionally try it.( I feel great today.) Not starving or anything...
Mood Yesterday? :frown:
:brokenheart: :sad: :yawn: Add on smiley for mega anxious & mega stressed!!! Not a good day, yesterday...
Mood today? :frown: A little stressed and anxious & still a little sad about something, but feel much brighter and happy this morning.... issues of yesterday are still unresolved... but don't have to do the same things as I did yesterday that caused tons extra of the stress & anxiety & another day out of the incident that caused the sadness.

Michelle welcome and great start back. I lost 40 pounds on here and gained some back but I didn't go MIA here but still gained. It was mostly due to not adjusting well to an increased busy work schedule. You may add me but this once great MFP friend is not that great at supporting my many friends here. I am happy that I am logging daily though. Dahlia, hope today is better and you reach that goal.
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Not sure, my chart says I am under net calories but MFP isn't showing my calories burned for yesterday despite aquafit and increased steps!? but I did get hungry and eat more dinner later in the evening and had fruit.
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes and no I got lots of exercise but also got hungrier
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? more activity and steps
What would I have done differently? not eaten as much for dinner
What is today's personal goals? I already went for my walk run before work and made myself a healthy breakfast so I guess watching calories the rest of the day
Did you try something new recently (food, exercise, etc...)?
Mood today? :huh: yesterday was a mixed bag with successes but higher calories, even though my weekly deficit should be enough to lose I am gaining. I am happy at upping my exercise.
