Did good last night. Got hungry so I went to bed earlier than I should have so I would stay under calories. Does anyone else go to bed so they don't eat anymore or is it just me?

@maithileesj Happy Birthday

Welcome to all the new members!

I wish I still enjoyed cooking...I used to when I first got married, but now I could care less. I think that is part of what got me to where I am today. It’s dinner time, and I am hungry, but I have no motivation to make a meal. I have some leftovers so that is what I will likely do, and I have no intentions of blowing it because weigh in is tomorrow. Just venting...but a personal chef would be lovely.

This weigh-in is momentous for me - I turn 40 yo tomorrow! And I can't believe I'm so excited to be reaching this milestone, considering how sad I was when getting out of my 20s, ten years ago. I'm in far better shape now than I have been in the past ten years, most of that transformation occurring in the past year and a half.

I'm a stickler for metrics, so I actually did some number crunching based on the extensive records I've been keeping since 2008.

Loss since Jun 2017 (when I was at my heaviest and most unfit, and when I joined MFP):
Weight - 10 kgs/ 22 lb
Inches - 35

Loss since Jan 2018 (my last birthday)
Weight - 5.9 kgs/ 13 lb
Inches - 18

Loss since Jan 2009 (my 30th birthday, ten years ago!)
Weight - 3.4 kgs/ 7.5 lb
Inches (this is the kicker!) - 21

I'm still about 5 kgs (11 lb) and 15 inches away from my goal but I'm in a highly self-congratulatory mood to have arrived in the 40s slimmer, stronger and fitter than I did when reaching my 30s.

Today's my first day of 5-2 IF (first full-fasting day). Let's hope I can stick with it this time.

Happy new year, y'all!

First of all - welcome to the 40s club!!! Your welcome kit is in the mail😁

Awesome job on 1- the record keeping and 2- the vast improvements!!!!

I would be so proud!!! Celebrate with pride!

@maithileesj - impressive stats and record keeping, well done!

I managed to cope ok with my catch-up meal with my ex-colleagues, didn't quite stick with the salad idea (I was feeling a little cold!), but managed to stick with some butternut squash soup followed by chicken with polenta. Not as bad as I could have been though! I kept my steps up, which was good. I also drank a lot of water!!

Had a sensible breakfast today and although we treated ourselves to a meal out whilst shopping for January bargains, I went for grilled fish and rice - which I think was a good choice, albeit I had a small glass of wine! Grilled pork and steamed vegetables was for dinner with only a small jacket potato. OK - I will 'fess up to another small glass of wine, but have been drinking some water during the day. Will be working a lot more on the water levels when I get back to work next week. Up to 17,128 steps at the moment!

This was me yesterday. Spent all day hungry so went there bed at 9pm. My husband stayed up to play games but waited till he was in bed to decide he was going to make toast and eat it beside me. I’d ignored the sweets etc he ate alll day, but I was furious that he brought toast smell to bed. He also made dinner (which was lovely) but because I was pain earlier he thought it would comfort me to give more food. I know he’s being nice but man I could murder him when I’ve been meticulously weighing and logging food.
