People get so weird about eating normal food. Someone said they want a hamburger and like people said "don't do it" "drink water instead"
Water?!?! In place of a hamburger?!?!
Ok. I never crave hamburgers, but I always crave bacon cheeseburgers.
And depending on where I get it, I just don't eat the bread, if I don't have enough calories... lol
Or I eat the whole thing and adjust the calories the next few days.... haha Either way, I don't do well with food restrictions. You tell me I can't have and suddenly that's ALL I WANT!
I think I will skip the judgy FB group though..... It would just make me mad. I like this group better!

@AB0215 LOL !!!😆 😝 😂
Meant to post this yesterday
6.10 Daily Check IN (Mon) 💃🤸♀️💃
Track: Yes✔️
Calories: Yes ✔️ I will be for the day.
Exercise: Two Barre classes! 🏋️♀️ 🦵 💪
Comments: Feeling great, working out and the scale is going down. 👍👏1 -
Daily check-in for Monday
Track: yes (well, 98% - I tracked everything except the 1-2 grapes and cherries i ate while packing the kids' lunches...and the frosting I licked off the spoon while frosting cupcakes to send to school)
Calories: yes, under, I think...(I was about 280 under before the frosting, so I should be fine)
Water: yes
Exercise: yes - 30 minute training session (30 minutes of kettlebell deadlifts, RDLs, and 2 types of rows, plus a few burpees to break it up...)
So...last week I complained about not planning my dinners. I realized this morning that I have the opposite problem this week...dinners are planned (well, not really planned, but i have a few options to choose from) but I didn't do much for lunch. I grilled a bunch of chicken breasts on Sunday, and chopped up some baby lettuce...so I think my "plan" was salads. But that's as far as I got. Yesterday's salad had a few other things in it (tomatoes, bell peppers, hard boiled egg), but it was seriously the most under-whelming salad I think I've ever made! I did better today - added a little bit of cheese and a few raisins (may add some nuts if it's still lacking). It's very unlike me not to plan my lunches, so I'm not really sure what happened (oh yeah, my kid's birthday + a sick hubby...). I might need to come up with some more salad add-ins or something tonight.2 -

Yessssss. Food restrictions leads to binging or giving up. If you want it, eat it. Figure out how to work it in.2 -

I think this is one of those things where it depends on the person. I LOVE cheeseburgers but I gave them up 8 months ago when I made a 100% commitment to changing to a healthier lifestyle. That is just me though, I would never presume to tell someone else how to live or how to change their life. I don't really crave them much any longer. I still eat a couple of pieces of bacon on Sunday morning and a sub from Publix on Friday but they aren't "trigger" foods for me like burgers.
I don't think the Facebook MFP site is too bad. Some of the general community pages on this site are terrible though. If you don't agree with the long timers you get tons of "woos", which in this community has a negative connotation. They are super judgmental about everything.

^^this 100% I eat cheeseburgers lol, I just eat them bunless! Well right now that's sort of true, I eat bacon hamburgers right now, no cheese but yep. There's a lot of ways to get there, you have to find what works for you.
And on a side note, it needs to be a sad face and not a woo, woo should be positive, they are really weird on their choice of emotes for the threads, just saying.2 -

YES!! I think I Woo'd someone early on - thinking it was like "wahoo!" (i.e., "yea" or excited) instead of bad. Oops...2 -
@OkieGina
Don't worry about that, we decided a long time ago in here we use it like a Whoo hoo.
Starting to think I should make that a disclaimer at the beginning lol.3 -

I agree that "woo" should be positive. I was pretty shocked when I found out it was a negative. It could be just a simple "thumbs down" emoji. They just love to "woo" people on the regular boards....even newcomers who are just trying to understand things.
I still don't "woo" anyone....even here where it's ok....bad memories from the other boards....ha ha ha. Do you know you can look at your stats and see how many "woos" you have gotten...it's so silly?2 -
So all my trigger foods have dairy. Giving up dairy(forced to give up dairy, for tmi factor it was basically eating away at my intestines, I thought I had cancer) saves me. I honestly think why this time its working and working so good!
I want pizza, icecream, milk chocolate..... but I remember how horrible I felt eating it.3 -

I’d still like to lose just a little more, maybe 5lbs or so and then see how I feel about myself. I posted some before and after photos in the Success Stories section (it took me a lot of courage as i feel embarrassed about my “before” photos...but I done it 😅 If anyone would like to have a nosey at my pics, please feel free...here’s the link 🙂

💥 Daily Post: Tuesday, 11th June💥
✅Track: Yes
Calories: over
✅Exercise: 20 min strength training
Comments: I really struggled today 🤦♀️ I don't even know why either, it's like I just gave up mid way through the day. We woke up to find Daughter has chickenpox and so will be off nursery all week. This might also explain all her crazy behaviour before today. We had a good day despite this..lots of playing and cuddles. But I really haven't been on track today and i don't know if it's laziness or something else I'm not aware of. Possibly self-sabotage. Anyway my challenge now will be to move on from it tomorrow...you know, not let it dictate how I behave tomorrow, bc although I'm quite emotionless about it today the normal pattern will be that tomorrow I will think I've failed and continue to self sabotage. I need to prove to myself that I can move on and not let one day destroy my progress. And it's a lot harder to do stuck at home with a sick child and not being able to distract myself as easily! Anyway I know I've been waffling but wanted to be honest about my day. Sigh. Onwards, onwards.4 -

Yikes! Surely that's the reason you're calories counting...so you can have a burger instead of going on a diet fad!!
@AB0215 I get it...big props to you for recognising your triggers and avoiding them! I'm often a glutton for punishment!0 -

😱😱😱😱😱 I have woo'd loads of people!!!! Thought it was a Woohoo!!! With, admittedly, a weird emoji attached that didn't match my assumption of the word...geeez now I'm worried I've offended loads of people across MFP 😂🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ How are us beginners supposed to know this?!4 -
@lsjhudson thanks a lot 😊 Sorry to hear your little girl has chickenpox, it’s not nice at all (I first got chickenpox when I was 17!) I’m sure you’ll do just fine tomorrow. Each day is a fresh start...just believe in yourself 🙂🤗1

CONGRATS to @o0kody0o super job reaching your goals!!🙌🎊💫👊😝
and to @lsjhudson sorry your 'lil one has chickenpox--- that is rough on both of you---but I feel bad for the itchiness she's probably having---ouch. Hope she feels better asap---and try to find time for you--- to destress! Hang in there!

So far I feel fantastic!! I really needed the reset on detoxing from the sugars I’d been eating. Worth it!

@CindyJNC1963 I tend to stay away from other boards, I just make a point these days to avoid trolls, on facebook and other forums, don't need that negativity in my life.
And yep I do know you can see what reactions you get, however last I checked it doesn't give you the option to see the posts? Which I also thought was dumb. But whatever.1 -

Comment. Getting into a habit of doing the 10k steps each day and actually not minding it. Also getting into having salads in a big way - who knew?? Adding nuts, acocado and lots of veggies should lower the cholesterol and help with the weight loss so long as I don’t get bored of them!4 -

Daily Post: June 11th
Track: Yes
Calories under goal: Yes
Exercise: 11,100 steps
I ended up deciding to lower my calorie max to 1301 calories. I didn't want to make a drastic cut and I'm still losing OK, it's just slowing a bit (to be expected). I'm going to "try" to get 11,000 steps a day but I really need to fight against my couch potato nature on the weekends.

@2muchchocncrisps Oh ya changing up the salad toppings has kept me interested in my basic salad for 6 months. I change up the protein too.

Daily check in June 11
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: Yes. 45 min taekwondo class. Also spent 3 hours outside working in the yard with my boys.
I guess I’m on a plateau. I don’t feel I’m building too much muscle in class but my weights just not budging. Just barely staying below 200. Just keep plugging along.2
