Stopped to get a hot tea on my way into work this morning and got pulled into buying a banana nut muffin by my cravings.
But you know what... I read the label, saw it was 2 servings, so only ate half of it and I logged it.
Not the healthiest choice for my breakfast but I don't feel deprived and because I logged it I know with the right choices the rest of the day that it fits into my calorie allotments & won't derail my day's progress.6 -
Hi all! I joined MFP on Feb. 7th, and have logged religously since then! I plan to keep this up, and continue eating at a defecit by making smarter choices and really thinking about if a certain food is worth the calorie count before eating it (I absolutely love ranch. But with the amount I was eating of it, it could easily add 300 calories to just one meal - no thanks)! In the time since I've joined, I've only missed hitting the gym one day. To 'get moving,' I plan to keep up my trips to the gym, and also make sure that I am incorporating more cardio while I am there (I was doing a lot of the strength training classes before, which are great, just not as efficient at burning calories). I'm so excited to be a part of this group and can't wait to see everyone's progress!2

Hi Guys, I started on MFP in August logging food and exercising every morning before work and I lost 16 pounds! I took a break from logging from Dec-Feb and gained a few back but now I'm ready to start logging and loosing again. My biggest challenges are snacking on junk at work, not working out on the weekend and having some drinks on the weekend too! These bad habits need to stop and I would also like to add some more exercise to see the results I want by summer. Good luck to all. we can do this!3

I'm a big fan of a green smoothie for breakfast!0 -
Count me in as a green smoothie groupie!1

I've signed myself up for a pair of races in late April/early May, so I'm training for them while nursing a 9 month old, and eating at a slight deficit... hoping to continue to see results!1

Step 1. Eat less. Done. And logged it too
Step 2. Get moving. Done. Actually went to the gym for a 20 min spin on the stationary bike.
Step 3. Repeat. Got tomorrow exercise logged so now I have to go and do it3 -
I saw this on Instagram and had to share. I am SUPER motivated right now, but I know that feeling may not last or will come and go. My goal for this week is to begin disciplining my mind and body so that when the motivation is lacking, I'll still put in the effort it takes to succeed!

I have been logging for about a month and feel like it is just part of my daily routine, which def helps with consistency. I work out about an hour 5 days/week. I feel like I am in a good place, now it would be nice for the scale/measurements to match my mood! LOL!4

I didn't get 10,000 steps yesterday. I tried but it just wasn't in the cards. Will try to incorporate more walking today.1

So far, I'm slacking this week. I have yet to start the monthly challenge...however I've done well with the weekly challenge. My goal for the day is to start on the ARM challenge this evening.1
-
Completed all 3 days of this challenge plus my buns, guns, and abs challenge. Have been under my calories every day and over 10K steps the last 3 days. Goal is to hit 20K steps on Saturday and Sunday before the weigh in on Monday.3

I am eating KETO. Have been since November. I have been religiously tracking food on mfp since January. I quit working out in January as I didn't have the energy. Last night I worked out for the first time in over a month! It felt good. I need to start walking more as I miss walking. My goal is to lose 30 pounds. Is there a way to get a daily reminder to check in here?0

I just joined yesterday, but for this week, I've cut my calories by about 400. My weekly cheat meal (out to lunch with husband on Saturday) will be much healthier. I have a good game plan for my workout schedule. And, I've increased my water intake to a full gallon of water plus other beverages (coconut water and 2 cups of coffee). I probably won't do this every single day, but most days. It surprised me that I have more energy and less appetite. I've always been good about staying hydrated.0

I'm pretty pumped as I hit my 5% weight loss today down 12lbs from January! I'm moving more this week even though Toronto is windy as frogs* but I am trying to add a bit more walking. Food has been good I ate over my 1.5/wk deficit but still under maintenance so yay. Do you guys find you eat right to your deficit or have a range? I'm finding I'm ranging from 1500-1700 depending on the day even without factoring in exercise. It feels good so I'm going to keep listening to my body! Happy Friyay!!!!3

My goal is to get back into meal prep and accountability for eating. When I have a crazy work week, especially if I'm on the road, I feel like it's easy to say "screw it!" and order Chinese or have a lot of wine. And usually that's when I just don't feel like cooking dinner. Re: Prep is Key!1

Today was good. Went to the gym before work and stayed on track with calories0

I haven't been logging as much as I should have. I have been making smarter choices. Not going out for lunch with my co-workers to Taco Bell (saves me money too
) I hurt myself running and had to take a break from running. So at work I get up for a break and walk around the office complex just to break up the eight hours of sitting at a desk. I've gained two pounds back - but I'm staying consistent at 265. Once my legs are up to it I'll begin running again. 0
