Still here. Just barely keeping up with days.
I cringe every time the phone rings, but the worst of the daughter crisis seems to be over. We want to try to help her find her direction. She needs to heal emotionally.
Everyday I strive to keep up three basic things:
Calorie limits
Water intake
10 K Steps
I have been doing OK with these basic factors. Since Oct 1 I am down around four pounds. Slowly working at it.
I too am doing the job search. Very limited applications. I am scheduled for a 3 hour second interview in December. I am very interested in the position and positive. I like that I have a couple weeks to work on my case and practice my interview points.
Tomorrow I go to a conference until Friday. This offers me training and lots of good networking if I stay in the job where I am currently. It should be good days. Just an hour away though so no change in climate.
JFT?
Pack my bag.

@junodog1 - good luck to you on your job search! Lots of new jobs here I see! I will be praying for your daughter. It is the hardest thing to see our children suffer. I know with time your daughter will be OK, but it is nice you can be there for her during this hard time. My son is also in the midst of separation from his wife of 14 years. He lives 500 miles away from us, so that is so very hard for me. I want to talk to him everyday to be sure he is OK, but I can't do that (or when I try, he does not always answer the phone). So what do I do ... grab comfort food. I have to keep myself from getting sick with worry - always thinking the worse when I can't reach him.
You are doing great managing the food part and losing - congrats on that.3 -

I really like your goals, particularly the one that mentions the donation box; I've accumulated so much clutter over the years--now I'm determined to empty these boxes one by one. Perhaps losing weight is similar to removing clutter from your home!
[*] Start a "donate" box and declutter (Goal is a box a week.)1 -
Hi,
I am feeling so stressed about because my Employer passed a very disturbing comment about my need for a leave of absence with my mother. My mother is going in for knee surgery and I have to take time off to be with her. My union rep. said she was ‘afraid what they could do next’ and whatever that is supposed to mean. I have to be with my mother for surgery. So honestly, I am just going to NOT BINGE IN ORDER TO STAY STRONG FOR MOM AND ME DURING THIS TIME, and keep the faith.
Goals for tomorrow:
1. Do not binge
2. Track and eat what I log when I go to work
3. Be encouraged and not afraid
4. Have faith4 -
I decided on a name. Casey-Leigh x
Awesome name! It just rolls off the tongue in the right way.
I woke up from bad dreams with a headache, so I am somewhat rethinking the week... gym will be moved to tomorrow and friday, because even if it gets better I don't feel like hauling the gym bag to work today.1 -

Had a very good day food wise - managed a day without indulging at all, for the first time in a while!
Lots more of those needed, but it's a good start. I need to have 4 very good days from Mon- Thu as I'm going to France from Fri-Sun and there will be calorific food involved. Being super good before I go will allow me to indulge a little (but not too much!!!) when I'm there.
Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- NO snacks except Ryvita (including the holiday snacks I brought for the office due to social convention)
- No alcohol
- Go to gym after work
- Be in the green with 300+ deficit Almost 500! That'll help at the weekend when I go to France....
- 30+ minute lunch break
- Meditate
- Leave work by 5.30 5.20! Though mainly because I was apathetic and lazy all day (still in holiday mode)
- Be calm, whatever happens! I was calm but also grumpy!

Question... What is this being in the red and being in the green about and is it attached to some device?0

Question... What is this being in the red and being in the green about and is it attached to some device?
Your calories.
If you have 100 calories left over for example then you’re “in the green”
And in the red is when you’ve ate that donut you promised you wouldn’t and went over your calorie limit.. into the red!
I think we use them terms because it doesn’t put the emphasis on “calorie limit” and people tend to associate green with good and red with bad!4 -
Wow, great thread - too bad it petered out.
I've only been on this site since October 21 of 2017, so I missed the beginning. But, if anybody is out there:
I'm at 255.8 lbs today and committed to staying within my calorie limit and exercising at least 15 minutes.2 -
Question... What is this being in the red and being in the green about and is it attached to some device?
I think Bex answered your question - being in the green is always a good thing! And BTW -- I LOVE your quilt on your profile! Is this the one you finished at the retreat! Beautiful work!1 -

[*] Start a "donate" box and declutter (Goal is a box a week.)
Thank you! I am on another MFP group that has different challenges each week and decluttering was a challenge last summer. I decluttered so much and rearranged things in our house that we stopped looking to sell our house and buy a larger one! We actually ended up gaining a whole room! Ever since then, I set out a box and throw a few things in it each day as I come across them.
That same group (A Challenge a Day, is the name of it) is having this same decluttering challenge again this week. One of the suggestions was to pick a spot in your house to start and spending 15 minutes a day...having a donate bag, put away box and throw away bag. I'm trying that this week. Donate goes in the bag. Throw away goes in a bag. Put away goes into a laundry basket and at the end of the 15 minutes, I stop and put away the items in the laundry basket. 15 minutes is doable for me! When my house is decluttered, my brain is decluttered and I just generally feel better!3 -
I didn’t post last night because I had a small breakdown. This pregnancy has officially broken me tbh.
The sickness, the tiredness, the cough, the backache.
Last night I started having a coughing fit, now assuming I might wee myself (as you do) I went to the toilet. And instead randomly vomited all over the floor.
My partner walked in to me sat on the toilet, in floods of tears and sick all over the floor.
It was the last straw and I just couldn’t handle it anymore!
Anyway! Someone ‘up there’ must have noticed because last night I got a full nights sleep. My back felt slightly better due to the extended rest. BOTH my kids stayed asleep for an extra 1hr 30 mins! And the dog didn’t mess around in the morning and just waited til I got up! (He normally paces up and down next to the bed)
I woke up feeling refreshed!
I got ALL the washing done in one day! Went to my antenatal appointment and she’s said everything looks good, spoke about how I was feeling and we discussed my absence from appointments and she was really understanding and is glad I’m feeling better now and she said I could transfer my care to a different hospital. But I’ll still have the midwives taking care of me for general check ups due to still living in the area.
I also get growth scans from 28 weeks onwards every 3 weeks as Marley was actually a “small baby” on the 5th percentile.
So that’s nice
And I got the Nursery funding form in on time (you can get 15 free hours in the UK for 2,3 and 4 year olds) so luckily don’t have to pay anything!
Only thing is I’ve not ate much today.
I keep forgetting to eat.. is that even possible4 -
This is my tea tonight!
Rocket lettuce, dressing (honey, mayo and black pepper) tomato’s, carrots, mushroom, beets and a fillet of salmon on top. And finished off with a crumbling of Wensleydale cheese
Yum!5 -
@Bex953172 That looks delicious! Sounds like you had a good day, and I'm so happy to hear it. Pregnancy is so hard on a woman, physically, emotionally and hormonally. I'm glad you got some rest and that the Big Guy up high made sure you got it!
I have to ask, because I feel stupid that I don't know... Is your "tea" like our "dinner" or "supper"? Like your evening meal?2 -
Dang it! I had a whole thing typed out with my goals for today and it disappeared! I've never had that happen before on my laptop. Just my phone or iPad.
So, I'll just keep it short and post today's goals again.
Just for Tuesday:- Weigh/Measure and journal every bite
- Drink more water today than yesterday
- Hit my step goal today
- 30 minutes of activity of some sort!
- 5 more things in the donate, throw away or put away box
- Work on quilt
- Grocery list
- Do not look at email from old job. Not my problem anymore.
- Listen to optimal living daily, optimal health daily and Good Life Project podcasts
- Read Simple Abundance chapter, write 5 things I'm grateful for today in my Gratitude journal tonight.
- Bed early so I can get up earlier tomorrow. Reset my internal clock!

Haha yeah
The UK sometimes says dinner too but it just depends where you’re from, some people say tea lol
Which gets confusing because tea is also a cup of tea (and biscuits of course)
See our “supper” is like a small meal (normally a soup or something) after our evening meal lol!

This is pretty funny. My boyfriend and I have discussed this multiple times (he's French, and just doesn't understand our ways).
Tea is a northern concept - it's not used in the south (I think). I'm from the north originally but have been living down south for 13 years so now I always say dinner. (unless I'm drunk, in which case it all comes back!)
I think - although I might be wrong on this as I don't really remember - that 'tea' tends to be used if you're eating slightly earlier whereas 'supper' is later.
I think possibly both of these can be used to describe lighter meals or snacks, whereas 'dinner' is always a full meal.
This leads to bizarre situations like when my mother calls a meal at 1pm 'dinner at lunch' because it's our biggest meal of the day.
Unless it's Sunday in which case it's fine to call it 'Sunday lunch'.
(In recent years we also have 'brunch' which I think you have too).
My French boyfriend thinks all this is insane...
(In France they just use 'dejeuner' for lunch, 'diner' for either lunch or dinner, and don't worry about how big the meal is or exactly what time it is eaten!)2 -

I didn’t post last night because I had a small breakdown. This pregnancy has officially broken me tbh.
I would say that is perfectly okay and normal. I never believed the women that 'constantly glow' and 'feel so happy and healthy' during their whole pregnancy. Everyone that I trust to really be honest to me had bad times (many quite a lot of them) and emotional and physical problems. Even my mum with me. I was a horrible unborn, I made myself comfortable on her kidneys, so she had to lie in bed in incredible pain and got hospitalised.
My grandma was unmarried when she was pregnant the first time and got bullied for bearing a child of a refugee to whom she was not yet married to. (They married though, two years later.) The second time she nearly died from nearly falling down the stairs because of fainting. Twice. (I think she might have had a light form of undiagnosed gestational diabetes.)
My best friend had all kinds of ailments being pregnant with her twins.
Another seemed to be in constant pains for both her pregnancies... and the extra one she miscarried, too.
I am sure this is normal. It is just somehow frowned at to feel bad because of something so positive as bearing a child that nobody dares to tell to the random strangers asking them how they feel.

Not a great day yesterday. Ended up not taking a lunch break and staying at work too late - leading to lots of commitments being missed.
I really need to:
A) Get better at not leaving work late. Yesterday was tricky as I did my exercise class after work, but my workmates wanted to start before I'd finished up. I therefore decided to 'just finish up' afterwards... And then got sucked into the time vortex and didn't leave for another 1.5h. This is not the first time this has happened on exercise days - need strategies for avoiding
If I do end up leaving work late, find ways of winding down/cheering myself up quickly which don't involve snacking/drinking alcohol. I do this because when I have hardly any evening left, I need something to help me boost my mood/switch my mind off quickly. Exercise is normally my most effective stress buster, but this isn't practical when I'm not off the train until 9pm. So I need to find other things. Maybe Netflix comedies on the train!
Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- NO snacks except Ryvita (including the holiday snacks I brought for the office due to social convention) Ended up leaving work rather late and hence hunger (and grumpiness) led me to having some crisps and a couple of the holiday sweets. However, managed to stop this turning into a binge which I'm pleased about as I think I got into the habit of binging in Oct. So a small win!
- No alcohol Had one drink due to the late finish. Swapping this no alcohol day to Thu instead.
- Exercise class after work I did do this! Man, it was tough. I haven't really exercised properly in six months due to my operations. Happy to be getting back into it!
- Be in the green with 150+ deficit Didn't happen due to the crisps, sweets and gin. But I wasn't too much over
- 30+ minute lunch break Didn't take a lunch break as felt I needed to focus on a report. But I couldn't be bothered (I'm getting very sick of the report) so ended up faffing with other things instead. Really should have taken the break!
- Meditate Due to lack of lunch break. Though really could have done this on way home
- Leave work by 6.30 (after exercise class) Nope, 7.50
- Be calm, whatever happens! I was calm but still unreasonably grumpy! (I want to be on holiday still)
- Listen to music to boost mood I forgot about this, which is a shame as it might have helped with the grumpiness!
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- NO snacks except Ryvita
- Salad for lunch
- Be in the green
- Leave work between 5-5.15
- Be calm, whatever happens!
- Listen to music to boost mood3 -

✔Bedtime by 10 pm
Well today I plan to rearrange some things in order to exercise before lunch. It seems that I get really busy or really tired after lunch (afternoon hours). Therefore, I am going to try and get onto my elliptical first thing!!
I woke up late and did not make lunches for the family this morning, I'm letting them eat at school today
(Even though I do not like the kids eating school lunches, I know they enjoy the break occasionally so I'll try and not let this bother me.)

Hello. My name is Jen. I am new to this and not sure how the community works. But I saw this thread and thought it could really help me. I need to feel like I'm not alone in this weight loss journey. I don't have much of a support system so I'm sure that's part of my problem. Anyway, feel free to add me as a friend and let me know what to do for posting on here or how it works. Thanks in advance!5

Hello
I don’t tend to add people if I’m honest!
But for this post all you do is post your goals for Day ‘X’ and then try achieve them!
Then later on when the days over, quote your original comment and edit it to say what you did or didn’t achieve!
Sooo for example
JFT: Wednesday
- log all food
- Exercise
Then Wednesday night I would check in and repost and say whether I did or not!
And if you found anything hard or easy to do!
I tend to come in here for a moan. Lol!
I’ve made some really good friends on this thread and if it wasn’t for them I would of quit back in February! (I started in Jan lol!)

You will never feel alone on this thread - the best group of "friends" you could have. I hope you join us each day if you can. This thread is simple - just get on here, post what your goals are Just for Today. These goals can be simple, like mine sometimes, just to log all my food, or drink water, or they can be tasks you want to accomplish for the day. Then... the next day, come back, post how you did, and post goals for that day. For me, it has helped so much in not feeling alone, and keeping me going. So welcome -- and we hope to see you here tomorrow Jen!3 -
I am going to read all the responses later on. I am going to work. Keep me in thoughts for the courage to tell my boss about my leave coming soon.
My goals for today:
1. Log everything and eat within my calories
2. Do everything in my powers not to binge
3. Have the courage to tell my boss what I need to say
4. Keep my focus at work on being the best nurse possible4
