Although I had started MFP last April with my real name and my photo, but got so many men sending me messages that I deleted the account and started over. Very strange to me, as this is a fitness app, I wasn't expecting that, so I am being more careful about sharing here, but about me;
I am 47, a wife and Mom of two teens, and my fur-children, a dog and a cat. I had lost over 100 lbs. previously and in the best shape of my life, and held it off for years, until Covid hit. I really relied on the gym to lift weights to keep the pounds off, so I have gained over 20 lbs since last March.
I am now home full-time, working here since Covid, and being here 24/7 has been a real difficulty on my diet. I am a stress eater/emotional eater, so since I cannot get my "gym outlet" workouts away from home and my work anymore, it's been a major road block to my goals and weight loss.
I am so grateful for finding this group and looking forward to progress in October!
GOALS: Saturday, Oct. 3
🏃🏻♀️Workout: YES
💦 Water: YES
🍽 Food: NO (anniversary cheat meal)
😴Sleep: YES
STEPS
Sat 10/3: 18,427
I had a huge pasta dinner last night for my anniversary dinner with cake too, and I am really feeling it this morning. I have carb hang over. Hopefully yesterday won't undo all of the week's efforts going forward.
I stopped accepting friend requests from men for this reason. Some people think this is a dating site I think. I am excited to have you as a teammate! Can’t wait to celebrate When you hit 100 pounds lost again. Happy Anniversary! I tend work my calories for the week as an average. This way I can have a little more on the weekends. I am sure you will be ok with just one meal out. Drink extra water the nExt few days to help with water weight from the meal. Restaurant food is so salty.I’m Andrea and this is my second month with the Downsizers. I turned 49 in May and found myself at the heaviest I’ve been in my life. I decided that I needed to finally do something and made a goal to lose 50 lbs by the time I turn 50. I didn’t get super serious until August and I am now well on my way with 17 down and 33 to go. That is not my final goal but a realistic one. I will adjust as I get closer. Ideally, I’d like to be between 135-140. But I’d be just as happy at 150
October Goals
Lose 1lb/week
7,500 steps/day (increase of 500)
Couch to 5K- 3 workouts/week
Close rings every day this month
Glad to have you back for the next month! You have great goals for October.1 -
Gooood Morning/Afternoon Everyone ....Can you believe it is already October ? This year started out slow for me but after summer break it has flown by
My October Goals are:
Meal prep once a week

Just wondering if anyone uses Epicure. I bought a few of their meal solutions and I am hoping they taste ok.0

The Green Challenge Percentage of people who lost weight this week. No matter how small the loss the weights are recorded in green. Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!!4

Hi, I'm Lisa and I'm with the Downsizers. I've been overweight mainly since the birth of my 3rd child which was in 2000. I joined MFP a few years ago, but never tracked. I've been tracking for about 5 weeks now. I didn't step on the scale during that time because I thought it would be helpful to wait. I was CERTAIN I lost weight. I stepped on the scale today, and I gained weight! I guess I have to eat healthier foods! It was very depressing to see that number today. I thought the scale was off, so of course I had to step on it a few times. Where to do I write my information? Since today is my weigh in day I'd like to put it somewhere, but I'm not quite sure how this works. I'd also like to join @Megan_smartiepants1970 in her step challenge. My steps today are 14,485.

Morning all,
Woo, hello the October thread. Cannot believe that it is a new month already! Happy to be carrying on with the team for another month. I don't know if it's similar where you guys are but definitely noticed the weather change and temperatures drop down. Where has this year gone? On Saturday I weighed in at 249.2 but then this morning I have went up to 250.2 - not overly surprised as I've probably went over my calories at the weekend but would of been nice to end/start this month under the 250's.
Still trying to be mindful all round on food and exercise, I fit in a stationery bike cycle session and a few walks last week. Phew that cycle was tough, I got to 28 mins but usually somehow manage 30 mins - the acid reflux nearly had me passing out off the bike had to stop and keep sitting down. I thought I left a good enough time between eating but wow it got me. I don't know if anyone else gets like when exercising? I probably push myself harder than I should on the resistance - I usually do a mix alternating between 2 mins warm up on level 4 then level 5 and 6 2 mins each alternating them up until 30 mins.. (it goes up to about resistance level 13 - I have no idea how that's possible) but it wouldn't feel like a workout if I stayed on one level for the duration.
My goals this month is carrying over last month's goal to stay under 250's as I want to hit total loss of 1-1.5 stone (would be 245.5-238.4) by Christmas as stated in Sept thread.
Have a great week everyone.
CW: 250.2

Hi! I come to the post lmao because in the Step challenge from October I am as Marigorrina instead of marigorringo. Marigorringo means ladybug in basque but gorrina means female pig, and usually when we wanna say "you are the queen of..."for example lazyness you will say MARILAZY and in this case is Marigorrina. The queen of the lady pigs. Just to add that they call pigs to fat people. September has been my worse month weight wise and Marigorrina feels so accurate that I couldn't stop laughing!1

Calories: over
Exercise: walking
Water: not enough
Steps: 15,510
I went for a long walk with a friend in the am to get my steps in. I tracked all day I did go over since I ate my leftovers for dinner, they were too good to throw out and I was being lazy and didn’t feel like cooking the pork tenderloin I was marinated. I had slightly more water but still no where near enough.
