Hello everyone, I'm Lennie. I'm 5'2" and 59 years old. I've been married 23 years and have 2 kids, 26 and 30. My biggest challenge is traveling for work. I struggle with having to eat out every meal with co-workers and group dinners paid for by the company. I didn't really lose much in the last round but I'm not giving up. This is a journey. Let's do it team!2

Hi Team- my name is Jodi and I am glad to be back for another month. Every year that passes, I find it harder to control my weight and almost impossible to lose, so any loss is a huge success for me! Making healthy choices, being active and losing weight is a life long challenge for me- glad to have others to help us all stay motivated!2

Hi team Flab-U-Less! I’m new to MFP...so new that I initially posted this intro in the wrong place. 😜 But I think I’ve figured it out now.
I’ve only been using MFP for a week and I’m excited to say that my first week went well. I tracked every day- food and exercise. I only went over my calorie goal one day and I lost almost two pounds. I’m very happy with the two pounds because I’ve been struggling to get below 220 for a while and I finally made it! I’m at 219.6! I must admit that even with this success, I’m finding it difficult to be optimistic about my future success with losing weight and being healthy since I keep losing and gaining the same weight over and over again. But I’m learning from all of those successes and setbacks (I refuse to call them failures) and I’m determined to make this time the last time! And this time will be different because I have you all along on the journey. I’m looking forward to it! Thanks for the welcome @BEASTFIELD314!6 -
Good luck, everyone!

After spending the weekend with friends and eating lots of BBQ, I'm happy that the scale didn't show an increase.3 -
Started my meal -prep for the week. Drank 4 glasses of water already and walked in the park for 55 mins. Will go on the treadmill later. I am very focused on losing the 10 lbs that I've gained this year.2

Hello everybody!
My I’m Monique and I live in Southwest Texas. I’ve struggle with my weight for years, but I’m committed to making some positive changes. I’m a middle school teacher, so I trying keep my sanity while losing some weight.
I’ve used MFP off and on for years. I’ve lost 20 pounds so far, and I’m looking forward to keeping up the momentum.
Any other teachers out there?

HOW? What is your daily deficit?
Hey there! LOL! My daily goal is 1400 calories (because I am only 5'2") Most days I come around this amount. Several days (when I do get a chance to get my walk/jog in), I don't usually eat back the calories. The biggest thing for me is WHAT I eat. I replaced most fatty fried foods with vegetables. Each meal I have 2 kinds of veggies, 1 fruit, and my protein. Like lunch today was a serving of baby carrots, a serving of broccoli, a can of tuna, and a nectarine. Now... when I say serving, I use a food scale to actually weigh out a portion by the gram.
If I ever feel tired - I will always eat. I am not in this to become emaciated. I will NOT do anything to harm myself. I do however, do intermittent fasting. Now this is not for everyone, and everyone has their opinion. This works for me, maybe not you. I just skip breakfast and eat between noon and 8pm. For me, personally, I think it helps tremendously.
Everyone has to find what works for them and stick with it. When you stop seeing results, it's time to find a new plan!!!1 -

Goals/day: Fairly good day, just didnt get any exercise in. I always feel bad when I don't, but I know a rest day is ok. Exhausted because I got maybe 2 hrs of sleep last night. Nighty nite team (or good morning depending where you are from) Hope everyone is well! @mram3582 hope you can get different shoes soon! That's an awful feeling, walking with uncomfortable shoes and ones that do not fit right. 1 -
