    I officially hit 40 in May... my goal was to lose 40 pounds before I hit 40, but that didn't happen. I hate not being able to really play around with my kids - running, jumping, all that good stuff. Telling them to eat healthy and have fun - while I am eating my umpteenth snack for the day on the couch. Here I am again again again...

    I am back again, too! Sheltering in place for so many months is WAY too close to the kitchen!

    Hey Kayla, no doubt this journey can be difficult. However, it's just work! Work in the gym and work in the kitchen. Looking at it that way is something I've accepted and embraced. Embrace the Suck Right! LOL. Stay tough and we'll be cheering you on and taking this journey with you. Feel free to add me. B)

    This is really B3sha I somehow got locked out of my old account. Couldn’t remember my password or email address....stupid technology. 😣 I was soooo close to just giving up on MFP but I felt like I had been doing really good this time around and didn’t want this setback to end my momentum. So I started over 🤣 We got this!

    Weekly goal check in!

    Last week I wanted to work out every day including Sat and Sun and I did it! I’ll continue that this week too.

    I also wanted to avoid late night snacking....but I didn’t do so good with that...but I had the calories for it so I guess it’s ok? This week I’m going to buckle down on the no snacks after 8! I have gum and my knitting to hopefully help with this. My former boss is due to have a baby in Sept and I want to finish a blanket for them. Can’t snack while knitting 🤣

    Another goal is go to bed before midnight. I am such a night owl I usually don’t get to bed till 2 but this has to stop!

    Let’s do this! 💪

    Looking for positive friends to help reach my goal. Restarting July 1 lol.... maybe today is a better day to start.

    I like to eat better tomorrow and that hasn't been a good plan : )

    Yesterday was my first day back again......I did well but that was day 1, now entering day 2. Kudos to all of you for giving this a try and focusing on being healthy. Not easy to do anytime but especially in these uncertain times.

    Hi everyone! Sorry I’m late to the party. I just found this thread (my first time in the community) and I’m in a similar boat. I’ve been here before, and I’ve even been on this app for a few months but not tracking very consistently or seeing progress. Today I’m recommitting to my health and MFP! If anyone doesn’t mind me joining your journey late, I would love to add you as a friend!

    @frenchj1 do you like yogurt? I have been making myself a smoothie most days for breakfast and find I’m happily full till lunch. I add frozen fruit, yogurt and either fresh spinach or fresh kale to it. Was adding orange juice but recently switched to almond milk. Back before Covid I would buy protein powder in the bulk section of my grocery store and throw a scoop of that in too.

    @frenchj1 I also like to add in some healthy fats to make a meal/snack more calorie dense! Avocados and nuts are my go to (and cheese as a treat :) )

    Hi Kayla_caroline and everyone else. I need to lose weight. I ate my way through today which would have been a good day to start but tomorrow is as good as any day! Note to self ‘stop making excuses and just do it’! This is my first time on the community bit so not sure how this works but please add me. I would love to do this journey with other like minded people. All the best guys! 😀

    YOU ALL ARE AMAZING!!! I’ve been trying to reply to each & every person but there are so many of you. I’m excited we’re able to engage with one another & send encouraging messages! I just saw someone reply to a message & I realized I’ve been doing it wrong (I guess I have to use the @). I’m still learning this app so please be patient with me ☺️ Thank you all for the kind words! Not just to me, but to the others commenting on this post! This is OUR community! We’re in this together! I’m rooting for all of you! ❤️

    Hi everyone!
    I hope you’re having a lovely Sunday so far. This morning, I made a decision. I’m going to make a lifestyle change. Yes, I’ve been here before. Yes, I had some success. And finally... yes, I reverted back to my old eating habits. I’m hopeful that this time will be different. I’ve done A LOT of internal work over the past few years, while working with a registered dietitian. I’ve learned so much about my body and why I make the eating habits I do. I intend to be H.O.T. during this process. Honest. Open. Transparent. I’ll share the mistakes I’ve made in the past, when I feel like I’m not making any process, and honestly, just all the feels during the journey. I hope to encourage whoever needs encouragement. I want you to feel as if you can do the same! Let’s motivate each other! I’m back at it again & I’m ready to WIN! Lifestyle change IS happening.
    SAME HERE PLEASS ADD ME

    If it is one thing I know about myself - I have to log my food or it is ridiculous what I "thought" I ate. And I do not find it hard, I just got out of the habit after dropping the Premium version of MFP. It is amazing what paying $50 does to the psyche to make you want to use the app! Good Luck Kayla_Caroline and I would love to add you to my network here.
