Hello all!
I'm Emily, I am a serial starter and I am looking for something to keep me motivated on my fitness and getting fit journey! I am so excited to join and get to know you all! 4 -
Yay, so many new members! Welcome!
I had my doctor’s appointment yesterday, and I had gained only 0.5lbs in the last 3.5 weeks between my last nurse’s appointment and yesterday. That’s just over 0.1lbs per week, which is great considering I had gained about 1lb/week in the 7.5 weeks between 1st and 2nd appointment. It’s magical what some veggies and leaving the apartment can do
(To newbies: I’m pregnant and not losing weight or participating in the weight loss challenge, but this group is so fun I’m sticking around in the support team while focusing on a healthy pregnancy.)4 -

I love having the online support group too. Next month will be great!!2 -

Good morning Team! I wanted to share my vision board with you all but I can't upload the picture. Bummer. Does anyone else have a vision board? Mine helps me to remember how far I've come and keeps my reasons for doing this fresh in my mind.1

Tonight I'm having some wild greens for supper. I have already picked Japanese knotweed and dandelion leaves, and have to collect redroot pigweed, lambsquarters and garlic mustard, all of which grow closer to home. Good luck to me trying to figure out how many calories are in it, haha (I'll count it like spinach I guess). Some of them are a little bitter for my taste, so I'm going to steam them briefly.
Anybody else on here a vegan? Anybody else NOT doing keto?1 -

Definitely NOT doing keto
not a vegan either, I have IBS so I’m on a modified fodmap diet (only avoid my specific triggers).
Currently my diet is a meat-loving mess and I eat way more meat than normally, this baby has me craving protein and iron apparently. Now I at least have veggies too, during first trimester I threw up practically every piece of vegetable I tried to eat (and some I just smelled), so I lived off rice, pasta, dairy, meat and sandwiches. Pre-pregnancy I ate maybe 40% vegetarian and the rest was mostly seafood, fish and chicken with very little red meat.1 -

I am not vegan, but I do lean towards vegetarian options sometimes. I eat lots of salmon and chicken. I'm also not doing keto but do find that when I try to limit my carb intake I feel better.1 -

Thank you for connecting me with the group, @Megan_smartiepants1970!
I’m 54 years old, female and 5’4” tall. I got serious about using MFP for tracking calories and exercise in March 2020. It felt like something I could manage during the uncertainty of the early stages of the pandemic. I figured being as healthy as possible - especially moving from an overweight BMI at my highest weight (168) to a healthy range - would help me fight COVID-19 if I got it; and, if I didn’t contract the virus, I’d still benefit by improving my overall health.
Since I began tracking, I’ve lost about 30 pounds and my current weight is 135. My goal weight is 125 and then I hope to maintain the loss by staying between 125 and 130 pounds. I haven’t seen the scale move downward in months so I thought I’d join this group to re-energize me. I’ve been focused on maintaining my weight without losing muscle mass, to the extent possible, but may need to research body recomposition during this final push to my goal weight. Thanks for the opportunity to learn with you all. I’m looking forward to hearing more about your goals and supporting our team.2 -
@PatriceFitnessPal I am also focusing on body recomp so I will be doing this along with you next month! I’m a weightlifter that stopped training and need to get back into it again.1
