Good morning, Marie!!! I am sooooo happy to see you are back in action today.You were in my thoughts and prayers. I knew God had His loving arms around you to get you through.
Nose-blowing is good...it's better out than in!
Have a wonderful day.
As for me, I'm going to church then we'll go to Charleston for the day. My favorite and only son will be 32 tomorrow, and we are celebrating.
I hope everyone has a wonderful, productive, and mindful start to the new month!
Stay strong!

Hi all, I am joining this thread. I have been on MFP for three years. I lost the weight, maintained and now watched some creep back on. Like others, I stopped login, measuring and weighing myself. I am back at it and will join the conversation and weight loss.

So happy that Marie is feeling better.
Connie hope you have a great day with your son, be safe.
I guess a lot of you will be watching the Super Bowl as will I. Will be pulling for the Seattle Seahawks, I really like Russell Wilson ( he seems to be a fine young man).

It's been a long month, and here we are on the last day of January. I think we should evaluate our successes this month WITHOUT using the scale as a measure. Hmmmm....what criteria should we use, then?
How many days did you log in?
How many days did you plan and complete your food plan?
How many days did you move your body in some form or fashion?
How many times did you choose something healthier than you would have a month ago?
How many times did you choose a different place to eat out based on better choices offered?
How many times did you pass up something in the grocery store that you would have normally picked up?
How many times did you go to bed without the bloat, and the promise to yourself that you would do better tomorrow?
How many times did you wake up feeling optimistic and energized about the day ahead because yesterday you ate right and moved your body?
I am sure you can add more to this list, and I hope you will. We cannot let the scale dictate our success. This is our lifestyle and we will never be perfect, but we must continue to live it the best way we know how to be healthy and fit.
Have a great day!
Stay strong!
Connie
Connie this list is such a help to me, it made me realize that although I haven't lost any weight in the last 2 weeks lots of other changes have been happening, I am making much healthier food chooses, I fill in my food diary every day, I wake up feeling full of energy, and I'm fighting and mainly winning the battle of not mindlessly snacking in the evening. So thank you for reminding me that it's not all about the scales.
I do hope you feel better soon Marie there are so nasty viruses about at this time of year.

Raindancer ..... you look fantastic, well done for sticking with for so long, I always say that we don't put the weight on in a matter of months it normally creeps on over many years so we shouldn't expect to get rid of it all in just a few short months.
Congratulations to everyone who's seen a loss this week.
I went out for a very cold and windy walk with my eldest daughter today, she is at the beginning of her weight loss and fitness journey so I want to encourage her as much as I can. Despite the weather she really enjoyed our outing so we plan on making it a weekly event which will be nice as we don't normally see a lot of each other.
Hope every one has an enjoyable Sunday.

I started my 'new' regime 3 weeks ago, & am pleased to say I have lost 3.3 kilos.
This is the best loss I have achieved for a long time, after starting many times, then giving up because my weight loss is so slow.
I am doing 5:2 & MFP at 1200 calories per day, although I haven't eaten that many any day, nearly always 900 to 1100, & all without feeling hungry.
I have visitors out this week, so that will be the test, but have already decided that I am not going to have any alcohol, as I think it is a waste of calories, wish me luck!0 -
Happy Monday everyone! I've started my dietbet today which means I have to take this diet to the next level because I want to win! It was -4 this morning so I didn't get up for my morning run but I have all my gym gear with me for spin class tonight! This month is going to be of getting everything into gear including eating and not giving into temptation.
Congrats on your weight loss Nitainspain! And have a great day everyone.

I weighed myself first thing so, starting weight 122.1. I am small so losing 20 lbs will put me back where I was 2 yrs ago.
I am similar to Nitainspain as I have to eat less than 1200 cals a day and NO ALCOHOL!!! Did some reading on metabolism of alcohol and it is worse than just the calories. The liver processes the alcohol first because it sees it as a toxin. All the other foods are stored (as fat) until alcohol is used up as your body's fuel. Then the fat stores start to get used. I gained my weight back when I decided to have one glass of wine which led to two and so on.

Good morning, losers and new people! Happy Monday!
This begins a brand new week, month, and year! Well, technically yesterday was the beginning of the week, but who really cares? No matter what day, week, or month this is, we are on a roll! We are eating better and moving more.
No gym for me today. The aquazumba instructor has a substitute today, so I am going to exercise at home. I have a new walking DVD to try, and since it is raining, it's a perfect day to stay in.
I hope all of you have a great day!
Stay strong!

I'm back! The ski vacation was wonderful. The kids picked up skiing so quickly and were on all the steep hills by mid week. Made this mama proud and nervous. We ate well and did a lot of walking in the snow. Hoping for a good number on the scale this week.0

Happy February!
New month and getting closer to our Easter deadlines. I have stalled - not gaining but not losing either. So going back to basics. Water, fruits, veggies, and move move move!
Have a great Monday...remember you are stronger than you think! Don't give up!!

Happy Monday,
My DH is digging out our driveway right now. We had a big storm last night so I missed my Yoga class this morning. ;(
Great job everyone this week on your losses. For those who are stalled you will need to make some changes to get that scale to come down. Check what you are doing and then it change it up. I am still on South Beach Phase 1 until I go on vacation this month. It is getting a little tiring but i will stick to it and then i can enjoy my week away. My goal is getting down to where I was last summer. I know once the weather changes I can get out more and my calorie burn will increase.
Today is cleaning, laundry and groceries for my eating plan. That will be my exercise for today.
I have also started the February squat challenge yesterday. So far so good.
Good luck next week!

Good morning everyone! Hope you had a great weekend.
I am staying on track with my One One One plan that Connie and Marie introduced me to. I really like the plan and
tomorrow I will complete my second week on it. Tomorrow is also my weigh in day and hoping for at least a half pound loss.
I know that seems like such a small amount to some of you but for me at my age seems to be what I can expect to see. I usually have around
1200 calories daily. Getting in my fats each day on my plan ups my calories a bit but I am following the plan as close as I can.
Hope everyone will be pleased with your weigh in.
Have a great day.
