Funny Story - I was on a message board the other day I can't remember which one. Anyway, someone made a comment that was encouraging and someone else hit the Woo button. The original poster questioned why the Woo. I said doesn't Woo mean "woohoo", "great job"? Several people came back and said no it means, woo as in not scientifically proven, bunk. I guess I've been insulting a lot of people without even knowing it LOL
I have too! As a matter of fact, I hit Woo on this post just to be sassy! hahaha! To me, that makes no sense at all. Why not a frown or a thumbs down or something?
I agree, I think MFP could really update their message boards and such. I like sassy!2 -

On this board lots of us use 'woo' as 'woo hoo' - this was discussed a little while ago actually but think this was before you joined!
So woo away! (Perhaps we should reiterate this occasionally for newbies)
I like that two of you have 'woo-ed' this message... There are some good senses of humour on this board

It won’t be for a few years yet, will cost a fair amount of money to do it I reckon and will be a wedding/honeymoon combined.
And someone will have to have the kids so I reckon 7-10 days would be our maximum!
I really need to research the areas and see what we can see and what we can do
Bex - I so agree on spending your wedding money on yourself and your honeymoon! Las Vegas sounds like a great destination!!
Too bad @O'Connell and I can't watch your kids for you

Welcome back!!!! It is so easy to gain weight back - this is why I have to keep coming back each day. I am still trying to lose those last 15 pounds, and that is hard. I think even when I reach goal, a thread like this is so important. We are happy to have you back ---- you are going to get those 25 pounds off!3 -

I reckon today will be a good one! Already burnt off breakfast from walking to nursery!5
-
So I’ve not really posted goals for a few days but I’ve just been trying to get more organised.
Inspired by the tiny habits I have a hand written list of things I need to do daily.
So for example -take medication whilst making Caseys first feed-
-let dog out and feed him whilst girls are eating breakfast
Etc and I have to try complete it by 10am. Which is around the time my oh gets up so then I’m completely free to spend time with him and do his breakfast etc. But if I don’t finish it all it doesn’t matter because the jobs left will be minimal things rather than a lot of things!
Then my midday one is basically make the girls lunch. And whilst they’re eating I do a quick tidy of the lounge and then clear the pots etc.
Dinner is a lot more. There’s a lot to do!
No time limit on that but should probs make it for 9pm because I watched some of a box set before doing anything!
Fully embracing my housewife role haha!
5 people and a dog is a lot to handle so routine is a must or it’s just chaos!
Also means I have time to do other chores in between these basic ones like my absolute mountain of clothes to fold and put away!2 -
Just for today, I will not let stress give me excuses for overeating.5
-
If I may join your thread, I need a little extra accountability. I've been doing well but this week my calories have been steadily over goal.
And wow to some of you that are managing this with for example "5 people and a dog", I'm only responsible for myself and one spoiled cat.
Just for today I want to:
1) stay UNDER my calorie goal, even if it's just by one calorie
2) drink 64 oz of water
3) do a fitness blender routine
4) be within 10% of my protein goal4 -

JFT Wednesday Recap
1. Meds AM and PM / 
I think I forgot my PM meds - I'm not even sure. I need to improve my PM habits, maybe have a sign of things to make sure I did before I leave the office? But that does no help on the weekends. Evening meds have been tricky for me because I prefer to take them both before 4ish and need to eat something with it so its usually after an afternoon snack but before dinner. They havent been bothering my tummy tho, so maybe I'll just set a daily alarm for 3ish and just take no matter what and see how that goes.
2. Log all food
3. Stay in cals
4. Stay under sodium eeked in at 25mg's under!
5. Eat lunch outside
6. Empty 2 drawer file cabinet Ugh, been a bit distracted.
7. Do no harm but take no *kitten*
8. 10 wall push ups every bathroom trip again, a distracted few days. I remembered maybe twice out of 10 times.
JFT Thursday
1. Be grateful for what you have. Find your center. Don't stress about things you have no control over.
2. Engineering Checklists
3. EMPTY FILE CABINET
4. 10 Wall push ups every bathroom break
5. Meds AM and PM
6. Log all food
7. Make smart choices for dinner
8. Make eyebrow appointment for Tuesday
9. Pack dog bag for day at work; chews, blanket, bowl.
10. Notes for tomorrow: phone bill, dog food, excise tax, dog bath
Funny about the woo's! I was scrolling through threads the other day and someone called a girl out for "having lots of woo's" in a negative context (which I dont even understand how someone can see how many reactions someone else has, but thats not the point of this story) And I'm like wait, woo's are bad? So I got a little self conscious for a moment, and then the topic was brought up here and explained! So whew, to the woo's! Love this thread!2 -
Hello everyone!
Just a check in to say that I’ve finally said “enough is enough” and gotten a personal heath coach. I’m finally feeling well enough to commit to something and the past dramas have been worked out, so this is it! My final do-over.
I was weighed and measured last Thursday (May 10th) and then again today (I’ve not looked at the scale in between).
My coach has a body fat scale and the numbers are as follows:
Weight: 210.4 Lbs
Body fat: 46.6% (Bad!)
Muscle: 32.4%
Water: 32.1% (REALLY BAD! This should be in the 50’s)
May 17:
Weight: 205.4 Lbs
Body fat: 45.1%
Muscle: 32.8%
Water: 33.4%
Numbers are all going in the right direction!! I’m feeling great!2 -
So I’ve not really posted goals for a few days but I’ve just been trying to get more organised.
Inspired by the tiny habits I have a hand written list of things I need to do daily.

It sounds to me like you are rockin' the housewife role. It's never an easy task, but oh so very rewarding.2 -

I had gotten self conscious about it as well in the message board I was reading. I guess it's one of those "know your audience" situations. LOL2 -
JFT - Wednesday May 16
2L of Water -
Stay in Green -
Outside 15 Minutes - Had the best 15 minutes yet, kicked a ball around the back yard with Michaela. I don't know who chased it more but we sure had fun. She wouldn't even go in Jonah's box fort with him and give up kicking the ball with Grammie.
Write in Journal -
I think I forgot, I don't remember doing this last night
Find some exercise time tonight - Besides kicking the ball, I went swimming for 45 Minutes. I was practicing my breathing again. I am so struggling with this, but I followed the 1-2-3 rule and was able to do 1-2-3 breathe, 1-2-3 breathe, 1-2-3 "swallow the pool". Last week I couldn't even do it once, so it is an improvement. A very kind young lifeguard asked me if I was ok, after one of my sputtering fits. I explained I was just trying to practice my breathing. She watched me as I went back and forth and when I got back down to her end, she asked if I wanted a tip. She said I had good form, but I needed to kick harder. She also told me that if I forget to let my air out while I'm under water, that humming helps her. She said it feels very weird at first but helped her learn. I used her tips to get as far as I did. I should have gotten her name so I could have called to commend her today.

Exercise tonight?
I am so incredibly shocked this morning. I had been doing the "Just Give me 10 Days Challenge", this morning when I stepped on the scale I was down to 190.2! That is 3 pounds gone in 10 days, but aside from that I am where I started in 2012, my first time on MFP! I am going to go back today to look at when I got serious this time and see how long that actually took.
I had set some mini-goals for myself with some rewards to keep me motivated. My first mini goal was to reach 190 and buy new sandals. I really need pants and a new bra, so I'm changing my reward but I'm getting it this weekend. My eldest daughter and I made a date for Saturday afternoon, I am going to meet her at the mall that she works at after work and we are buying my new walking shoes and then doing some shopping. I am so excited. I haven't bought anything for myself in a long time.
I bought a food scale on Tuesday, I don't remember if I had posted that in here or not. I was pleasantly surprised when I started measuring, that I had been pretty close in my estimating. If anything I was under, but I was sure that meat was going to give me a shock. Last night I made burgers for supper and I was right, I was probably eating about 3 servings. This should help me a lot, because my husband loves burgers so I make them almost weekly.
Sorry it's so long, have a great day everyone!

You just go in daily and update your weight and put a little something about your day. The one above is the new one starting tomorrow. If you look under Challenges for round 40 it will give you an idea of what people write. It's pretty eye-opening seeing the weight fluctuate so much daily but what occurs over the 10 days as a whole.2 -
Weekly weigh-in
Starting weight Jan 3, 2018: 176.0
Aiming at 150ish
Progress so far this year:

May 2 164.6
Apr 11 165.4
Apr 4 167.7
Mar 7 168.4
Feb 7 171.6
Jan 3: 176.04 -
I just looked back at my Net Calories for the last 90 days. I had started tracking again in February, but from the looks of it I didn't start seriously attempting to stay in the green until March 17 failing miserably for about 10 days in April. So when I look at that, it's a pretty good loss, about 6 pounds each month. If I keep that up, I should have no problem meeting my birthday goal of 170.4

I had started tracking again in February, but from the looks of it I didn't start seriously attempting to stay in the green until March 17 failing miserably for about 10 days in April. So when I look at that, it's a pretty good loss, about 6 pounds each month. If I keep that up, I should have no problem meeting my birthday goal of 170.
You are going to get there!!
