I agree. I’m working towards sticking with WFPB and it definitely helps to crowd out the processed with fruits, veggies, whole grains, legumes. Fiber fills you up! 😊shannonlynne67 wrote: »I had forgotten how helpful it is to meet fruit and veggie goals in keeping calories under control.

WFPB ?? What does that stand for?2 -

I was out walking in snow at below freezing temps yesterday. I do earn a badge on my Garmin. LOL. How was your run in the park?

My run was awesome thanks. Did my 3 miles. Upper 50's, sunshine, lots of other runners to wave/smile at. Really I can't wait for consistently mild weather to run more outdoors. ALSO - they open the flush toilets after freezing temps are gone - LOL !
We haven't had any real snow to talk about ... YET ... Hope I didn't jinx things.
Hooray - you earned a badge !

Not weight or diet related but I've had a bad day. I messed up at work - and it's a bad one. Feeling really down, and unusual for me I can't find anything positive. Couldn't even get an "it'll be all right hug" out of my husband.

Whole Food Plant Based. I’ve been vegetarian on and off my whole life, but lately I’ve had a lot of issues with inflammation and hives and I knew I needed to cut out dairy and as much processed food as possible. I actually really feel best when I’m eating plant-based: Fruits, veggies, whole grains, legumes, & nuts (minimal) since I’m trying to lose weight right now.0 -

So sorry to hear you had a rough day. Hang in there and sending you cyber-hugs!0 -

Good morning. It looks like you're all so sportive. I have to push myself to do some exercises. I love reading and studying more😅. And it's cold outside and then I don't want to go outside for a walk. But I will go on my crosstrainer today. Tomorrow I'm going to weigh myself. It's my first weekly weigh in since I started again. I'm a little bit nervous. I'm not doing keto or vegetarian but I try to eat as healthy as I can. I really want to lose some weight this year because of health problems. I want to feel better and more energetic. Luckily for Mei don't have much money so I don't have the problem to think what I must eat when I'm going out in a restaurant. I do that maybe ones in every 2 years😁. But I cook a lot from scratch at home. Looking on YouTube for nice recipes. I'm now going to bring my daughter to the train. Have a nice day everyone.6

January was a whirlwind of activity and I knew it going in so I did not have high expectations. Now that I am through that and things are settling down I plan to really focus on getting new habits started again. My foot issues are slightly better this week (Achilles tendonitis) so I am hoping I am on the road to healing once and for all. It's been about 6 months since I could walk normally. I am starting with some yoga this week just to get my body stretched out again.
Spring is on it's way which means gardening and home improvement projects. I love doing this kind of stuff and love the hard physical labor it takes. I will work hard all day and not care at all but getting on a treadmill or a climber is like torture to me.
I am off for a noon walk with my dogs. It's sunny today here in rainy Oregon. Yippee!3 -
I'm going to give it a go!2

Well done and welcome! thank you for all of the support after my blatant attention seeking. I hope that everyone has a fantastic Friday.5

No weigh-ins in this thread. You are welcome to post that info if you like. This thread is a place to share your successes and failures and just generally support each other.
There are lots of support groups and challenges on MFP that do a weekly weigh-in. Search for them - I'm sure others reading this can point you at some groups, too. I'm in a year long challenge right now - I don't know if they are adding members now, but it can't hurt to ask. Post a request in the thread below.
