Recap: It's going to be a bit of a tough weekend. Yesterday... unplanned lunched out. Called my son to visit with my grandson and they suggested lunch.... Today there are two NFL games. I will still be within budget but the food choices will not be the best. Yes... I "could" make better choices but this is for the long run so I have to make it liveable. But to counter... this is my rest day but I went out and walked (minded you "out" means out in the cold (30 degrees) and walked for 30 minutes.

Good morning! Like I said, I plan to be here a bit more this week, given my gain from last week. This is exactly the point where the effort would have just faded in the past, so I am working on my "turn it around" skills. Identified some trouble spots and have upped my mental game on them. I am also aiming to monitor and increase my protein this week (I am such a carbs girl!) Walked to our local bulk food store yesterday for some protein powder (which I have never used) to try out a new breakfast bar recipe. Extra steps and extra protein - seems an okay start.
Keep hammering it, girl. Your team is here behind you!1 -

Bleeegh, currently under the weather. Set my move back a couple days as I have a multi-hour exodus to my new home. "Every little thing is gonna be alright" 💛
What a terrible time to get sick. Feel better and good luck with the move.0 -

Way to go walking in the cold. Looking for ways to offset a higher calorie day is positive. I think every precious moment with our grandchildren is worth a restaurant meal out. We go out for breakfast with our granddaughters every 3 to 4 weeks. I love getting that time with just the girls and its worth having a higher calorie day than I normally would.

Steps: 6,384
Rings: ✔️
Walk: 1/3

My step count was surprising. My biggest plus yesterday was I resisted the urge for a blizzard.

My husband likes to bring those blizzards home for us all. I have to put mine in the freezer and ration it out.

@lindamtuck2018
No, they weren’t aerobic. But thanks for trying 🤓
@Megan_smartiepants1970
So 1/23 is only the step count. 3,893.
And no I didn’t see any message regarding 1/23, I looked back to see what I missed and I couldn’t find anything, sorry.

I'm going to the usa for 6 weeks later this year. Which are the best restaurants to get low calorie/low carb meals? And best supermarkets for low calorie ready made meals?
Appreciate all your wisdom!
I like Chipotles. Order the chicken bowl, with no rice, or beans. Also, just about any steakhouse, where you can order a steak, or any lean meat, and then add some vegetables. Places like Longhorn, Houston’s, and Texas Roadhouse, are among my favorites.

Weigh-in day: Monday
PW: 221.3
CW: 220.6
My weight has been all over the place the last week. I keep telling myself to only weigh once a week but I can't stop myself from stepping on the scale each morning. Luckily whatever number I see doesn't spin me out and I go on about my day.3 -

Hi everyone 👋 thanks for accepting me to join the group. My name is Edith and I'm 53 years old and I live in The Netherlands, Europe. I've been on MFP for a long, long time but haven't noticed groups like this, unfortunately. I've had weight issues all my life and tried so many diets and other ways to lose it. Didn't succeed until I came across ketogenic diet. Lost a lot of weight in 2017 and 2022 (if you want more details you can read on my profile) but gained lots back again.. So now I need a bit more to keep myself motivated and that's why I joined this group. I saw lots of items on the group page, which I will start reading tomorrow (it's almost 10 pm over here now). I'm curious to see how the group members are doing.. I hope everything I'm doing regarding to reactions or messages and so will end up in the right place, as MFP doesn't show the right pages easily. I have to go through multiple pages, change the language and log in to get to the group page. Still I love MFP and it's members very much though..
