    I forget to log my foods here on MFP sometimes. But, I've been trying to make sure I log foods on carb manager because that is what my health coach is using. Anyway, my weight is starting to creep back up and I was so frustrated because I thought I had been doing so good. I looked back at my logs from the last couple of days and relized, I forgot to log some stuff. Aughh. I need to double check before having an evening snack.

    Two months ago, I was pretty pleased, I had my salt and sugar intake way down. I pretty much stayed away from heavily processed food. I was easily making my daily step count and rode my bike almost every day. I had a food log.

    I was the guy who did laps in the hotel pool after work. I ate oatmeal with raisins to sweeten it and a 1/2 cup of skim milk for breakfast.

    Well if I did it before,I can do it again. New month -- Fresh start.

    @rwillems I fixed your post for you :)

    How very insightful. When you take all of the “negative energy” away, you find the truth! Thank you so very much @HASWLRS for helping me clear away the anger, bitterness, frustration, and discouragement to show the truth I knew all along!

    I want to thank all of my MFP/Downsizer friends who have sent me encouragement and support this week. The people here are so insightful and often inspiring. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen a member of our little group visit this forum and express their worries, anger, frustration and dilemmas, only to have several of our fellow travelers jump in and provide comfort and encouragement to that person. I am so glad that I found this team!

    @HASWLRS @Megan_smartiepants1970 @Slimmersixties @lindamtuck2018 @GirlOnTheRebound @NachDeezy

    All for one and one for all!

    @itladyee Love it! This is along the lines of my mantra..."Fake it 'til you make it!" I was here for two whole months before I finally made it, as in I was able to flip the the mental switch. I have been working the program everyday since, and most of those days, successfully!

    Sunday weigh-in day: 6/4/23
    PW: 186
    CW: 189

    I’m so sorry for the late weigh in day. I have been so sick since last Thursday laying in bed like a zombie. I haven’t really been calorie counting during all of this either. Is it okay if I change my weigh in days to Mondays starting next week, 6/12/23?

    I try to pre log my food every morning. Then all I have to do is add my serving sizes once I weigh my food.
