    I had forgotten how helpful it is to meet fruit and veggie goals in keeping calories under control. By the time I fill up on those I don't have as much room for the sweets I love. 😊
    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! 😊

    WFPB ?? What does that stand for?

    Good Morning everyone - we have mild weather here today by me. I'm going for a run in the park at 11 - if I do 3 miles, easy, then I'm signing up for a 5k on Saturday.

    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 !

    It definitely does! I live so close and don’t go nearly enough. Trying to get a few walks in this week. ☀️

    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.

    PartyPerson, I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling down. Sending you virtual hugs 🤗

    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.

    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!

    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.
