For some reason most of the groups on MFP don't seem very active, maybe I'm missing something. Would be great to have a smaller group to check in with everyday and support one another.
I have a 50lb weight loss goal. I really need to get healthier.2 -
Yes I agree let's do this I'm already accomplished a huge goal for myself and that was to give up Soda I'm going on 20 plus days without Soda and I can tell you I feel so Much better1

@healthylisa2 - that's awesome, I'm trying that right now also. Had half a Coke yesterday, doh - but gotta cut as much sugar and inflammatory ingredients out of my diet as I can.
I went blueberry picking last weekend and brought home a couple of pounds, I hope I can go again in a couple of weeks. They're so tasty straight from the berry bush, totally different from frozen / store bought.
Cheers!

Had a green smoothie for lunch. So far so good today! On track - how's it going?
Like the idea of Hawaiian Punch Sugar Free, used to drink that as a kid but hadn't thought about it in years. Good stuff.

I’m in! Need some motivation too. Just had my second kiddo at 35 years old this year. I didn’t gain much during pregnancy, but afterwards the weight has started piling on! 😭 I have to stop this and change this pattern. I don’t sleep well, I get short of breath at times, and I think my blood pressure is trying to creep up. I need to do better for myself and my kiddos. Nice to meet you all!2

Hi all! I am looking to lose 70 total to be at my goal weight. My short term goal is 50 in 3 months. I know this is a lot and I will be happy if I lose 30 in that amount of time. My husband and my son return the end of October and I want to surprise them with a healthy wife and mom! I am doing Clean Keto and I have dropped 8 lbs in a week. I know this is most likely water weight and inflammation, but I am happy with that. I am 5'2'' and my starting weight was 188. My highest weight was 190, a weight I said I would never get to. My frame cannot handle this much weight. I have lower back problems and have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia... not fun. I believe if I lost this weight the majority of my issues would severely decrease.2

@Jenna4813 - Have you had blood work done to rule out underlying health issues? How many children do you have? I have two but they're grown now so I baby my cat, he is a hunter and doesn't really appreciate it, lol. I also have a deer that comes up and visits me everyday and he's a bit of a pet.
@Sweetsarencibia2020 - My husband is Keto and I'm low fat. So I guess we're that old childhood rhyme about "Jack Sprat could eat no fat his wife could eat no lean..." ;-P He's just getting started.
@Healthylisa2 - You said you've lost 70lbs previously? What was your strategy?
I'm trying to build a really simple routine I can easily stick to and enjoy. I think the more monotonous, repetitive and automatic the more likely I'll stick to it.
Have a good day!1 -
Pretty good day today, Yoga again, no Coke yesterday or today and 20 minutes of cardio. I also was able to get some housework done.
Quiet group, maybe nobody really does the online group thing anymore, I'm pretty outdated.2 -
@Sweetsarencibia2020 @Jenna4813 @mrsdi3 @PositivePanda7 Hi star , i`m new in the app and I joined this group , but I noticed that the person opened is not here anymore, any way like I wrote in the other post if you need motivation i`m here , I`1m a holistic coach , and |I can help to loose weight in a right way. @Sweetsarencibia2020 be careful , the ketone is not a long run diet and is very controversial , if you think that for burn you have to eat fat and make fat your leaver , is not very sensible. If interested let me know . we will start a challenge in septemberand I can add you for free in our support group in Fb.0
