    @rianneonamission for me, the toughest part of the combination of parenting and eating is the junk food. Halloween. Holidays. Birthday parties. So much of our cultural way of celebrating anything in the USA revolves around food... Especially carb heavy foods and sugar. The other problem I have is fast food. In the rush to get them fed (because hungry children are insane, moody beasts) we often end up at a Chick-fil-A or similar place). I don't eat off their plates (though I can definitely understand how this is a problem for a lot of people). My other vices more than make up for that one area of self control. :p

    I'm excited I've dropped 2lb quickly this week, probably some of it leftover from holidays like everyone else 😉 I will see what happens this week and then reassess my January goal from there. I got weights for christmas and have been loving the new difficulty they've been adding to my workouts! Goal was also to increase steps to 10,000 daily, which I have been able to do everyday. Excited about that.

    Must have been holding some water weight yesterday, because I dropped another lb overnight. Looking at my food I think that Tuesday was perhaps a little heavier on the sodium than I would normally go, which would explain things.

    Ultimate goal: 120

    I was pleasantly surprised by my weigh in, especially since my husband dragged me to a couple restaurants this week -including a buffet 🙄.

    I didn’t make all my workouts, but I did spend many hours on yard work. And I did use quite a bit of willpower to keep my overall calories on target.

    So it was a successful week!

    The holiday weight dropped away quite quickly, so the rest of the month should be a more true reflection of how things are going. Overall though, am happy to state that I'm staying within my calorie target and it's been smooth sailing so far.

    Not the direction I was looking to go in. Started my period, which may have something to do with it. Weather is super cold and windy. Have run a little, but should run more.

    @rianneonamission I have done a half marathon but this will be my first full marathon.

    Hey guys!

    So I always get in a really good spot with working out and eating well then I get comfortable and fall off the wagon. I am determined to get back to better than my best. I would love if anyone would add me and I would add them back for just the fact that someone else knows if I screw up so it makes me more accountable. Could be more motivational if it fits, never had that work out though! Anywho..I started using MFP Jan 1 and have almost lost 2 pounds already because I have been more careful about my diet and started working out again. Backstory, I have Hashimoto's and am a chef that works on my feet all day. Easy to eat everything! But I have a decent willpower. I got down to 136 in 2017 and kept it off until about February 2018. Got super slammed with different jobs and "never had consistent time". Granted I worked plenty of 17 hour days with maybe a day off but I still think I make excuses.

    Stats:
    5'4"
    Jan weight 145.8
    UGW - 133
    End Jan GW - 143
    Feb - 139
    March - 134
    April - 133

    Let's do this!

    Hi everyone, I’m new to this group! I lost 27 lbs in 2014,and have been maintaining my weight since then. Except that I allow myself to eat anything I want between Thanksgiving and Christmas, so always have to get back to logging my food for awhile in January to get rid of whatever extra weight I’ve accumulated during that time. I’m very consistent with my lifting program, which fortunately allows me to eat quite a lot and still lose slowly, but it’s always helpful to get back to MFP for extra motivation and support!

    SW 67.8kg (2/1/19)
    4/1/19 67.4 kg
    11/1/19 67.0kg

    So I did lose last week, but feel like I’ve put it all back on again, it’s time of the month and I’ve been sloppy with my eating and giving in to my cravings. My exercise has stopped too. Tomorrow is another day and I will get back on track.

    Well done to all of you who are being consistent.
