Motivation and support are great,
My winter has been lazy with too many carbs!!
I’m a daily logger with open diary
Just hit my 100 days in a row3 -
My progress so far. Just finished my 8th week of a cut and have 4 more weeks to go. Still trying to lose those last few lbs for summer. No more cheat days and meals for me. Someone keep me accountable.

Hi all. I am new to using the community so please forgive me if I don’t quite get how it all works yet. I’ve used MFP for years on and off and successfully lost weight with it quite a few times before and after I had a baby. My weight has always fluctuated but as I get older it gets harder to shift?! Cruelty! I am getting so demotivated by trying and failing again and again lately so am feeling a little downtrodden but committed to getting back in my favourite clothes and feeling fit and proud of myself for having done what I wanted to do. I’d like to find an approach that is sustainable too so I stop yo-yoing - can’t be good for health right?! Plus I don’t want my daughter worrying about weight like I do as she grows up (but the world isn’t helping me out here is it?!) Any and all tips welcome but my plan is to track/stick to set calories on here everyday and make sure I get some good physical activity everyday eg brisk walking with a couple of cardio sessions too. Good luck everyone I hope you have a good week. Xx3

Nope, I think people assume it's a "woohoo," and MFP could probably have chosen a less confusing negative flag because I've seen a lot of woos on posts where I'm sure they're trying to be supportive. BTW, you're doing great on your cut! If you only have a month to go, maybe post here for daily accountability? Something quick like whether you stuck to your eating plan.0 -
Hi, new people! I've been away on vacation and this little group is growing, yay! More folks to cheer for!
3/11 157.8
3/18 156.6. (-1.2 lbs)
3/25 154.8 (-1.8 lbs)
4/01 156 (+1.2)
4/08 155.2 (-.08)
4/15 152.8 (-2.4)
4/22 ON VACATION, NO SCALE
4/29 149.6 (-3.2)
Total challenge weight loss: 8.2 lbs
*But I'm 147.8 today, so hoping next week's weigh-in is dramatically awesome!
Note: I'm starting a month of keto as of yesterday, so no calorie cycling, though it may happen naturally because when I did keto in the past, it really reduced my appetite. Calorie cycling and sticking to my minimum step goal worked great on vacation and I maintained.
Goal weight for this challenge: 1372 -
I'm 159 and down roughly 3lbs since 30th March.2

We used Woo when we could not believe something or it was like Wow really! for example "I ate a whole family size bag of chips" my response would be "Woo". Is that how it is used here also?1 -

Thanks Hilogirl. I try to log everything I eat and if I go over I try to post something on my wall. Maybe I should update here as well. And woo means “you think and idea or approach is too good to be true”1 -
@mkgoodson1007 I always figured it was negative because my association with woo is "woo science"- basically what you said- but this is an international community and who knows if that term has any meaning outside the U.S. I guess MFP decided Boo would be too harsh lol.0

I have been lurking this thread for a couple days... I am joining! I am basically maintaining at this point. I signed up at a local gym and this year I am not letting my $ go to waste (aka: not going). I went last night, didn't make it today bc work travel... but I'm gonna do a PopSugar workout from Youtube shortly.2

Two steps forward, one step back. I totally deserved this week’s weight gain (1.4 lbs). Didn’t track for the weekend while I was in a three day workshop and too many cheets. This week I go back to diligence and staying on track.2

Some say it is a good thing...some people say it's the equivalent of reporting someone for inappropriate behavior...idk🤯0 -
I am frankly getting tired of this vicious cycle of weight loss in the summer/weight gain in the winter every damn year, but alas I failed to maintain my weight yet again this winter. Planning to lose about 20 lbs by summer. This time I want to keep it off. Who's down?
I'm sooo in!🏃♀️🚴♀️🤽♀️🤸♀️0 -
