@broncobuddee - why are you surrounded by cookies?
Does this have something to do with Girl Scouts cookie season? I have been having to do ninja moves to avoid those things. I even bought some and gave them away. (I am pretending I don't know about the package of Girl Scouts Smores Cookies in my husband's desk.)3 -

No, but apparently one of my coworkers is suffering as their house has turned into the troupe's temporary warehouse.

Event at church. Same bakery as last weekend so I can speak from experience
that they are good. But the goal is to keep myself entertained elsewhere.
The other thing I struggle with more on the weekends is succumbing due to hunger. I start eating earlier on the weekends and am up longer. Have to find some way to fix that. During the week my first meal isn't until noon at the earliest and sometimes as late as 5pm - which make it easier to have few calories the rest of the day.4 -
Friday check in
Calories- good
Water - it was day two of finding the large coffee cups
Exercise - work stuff
Goals - since I'm feeling a whole lot better I'll be going to the gym after work tomorrow.
10001 steps
Just don't overdo it at the gym. I was amazed at how much endurance I lost when I was down for four days with my knee.4 -

Today was another good day and the scale is moving downward which is super encouraging. I think this no eating after dinner and watching my sodium is really starting to pay off.

I'd like to continue with introductions. Please share your name, where you live, how long you have been on MFP, and anything you want to share about your weight loss journey so far - successes, challenges, goals for the month. Anything to help you get motivated and maybe inspire others on the team!!
Go Slimpossibles!!!!!!
Howdy team! Formal introduction time:
I'm Mark (@broncobuddee), 49, live in Michigan, work in higher education IT - pretty much a desk job. I've been a "big boy" all of my adult life (ie. 300-400 lbs) with several fits and starts with weight loss over the years. Consquently, I've been a MFP member on and off for many years. I got serious in 2017 when I got connected to a doctor I was seeing for another minor medical issue. I joined F2F at that point and worked with my doctor to lose ~160 lbs that year. Unfortunately in 2018, I floundered and she left the [corporate] practice she was part of - and I gained some back. I went back to her old practice for the first time in a several months when I blew out my knee in January and one of her former co-workers told me off-the-record where to find my former doctor. I had my first appointment with her this morning and we were both so excited to see each other. The stuff she remembered about my food OCD amazed me (or maybe my OCD is really that bad LOL). So I told her to get me back on track and slap me around if I don't fall into line. Ya'll can do the same to me.
TLDR:
successes: great 2017
challenges: sucky 2018
short-term challenge: knee recovery still in progress
goals for month: daily check-ins, daily food diary so I have something awesome to show dr on 2/27.
Welcome new and returning members. Feel free to friend me!
@broncobuddee I am so glad you found your doctor again! Your progress has been so inspiring, and I am confident you will be back on track again now. I hope your knee continues to heal and that your journey gets the kick-start you are looking for! Can you kick me like she kicks you?
