@Katmary71 @trooworld thanks for the welcome!
How wonderful! @micaroo4 It must be so exciting ~ blessings to all of you.
Hi everyone, I'm Reshii ~ widow with one son and grandson, legal admin soon turning 58, currently living on the east coast, planning migration within next 2-3 years. My highest weight was 280 back in 2017 when inability to join friends on a hot air balloon ride (max 250) made me realize just how fat I'd become. Lost 85 pounds and comfortably maintained weight at 195-202 until the pandemic when I regained almost 60 pounds. Began to slowly lose again last year, and have been trying something different every month since January looking for a new magic combination that I love. Still looking!!!
~ and although weight is coming off slower than anticipated, very pleased with inches and fat lost this first quarter and excited to see how far I can progress the next 90 days. "You're never to old too old to set a new goal or to dream a new dream." C.S. Lewis 5 -

I know navigating around in the forums is a bit confusing but hopefully you'll find your way here. If not, team captains @Katmary71 and @trooworld will add you as a friend and you'll be able to send messages to get everything running smoothly.
Best of success!3 -
Hi friends, Happy Easter! My Dad's spending the night so I'll catch up tomorrow after he leaves. My Mom went on a cruise with her friends and sisters not realizing it was over Easter so I'd asked him to stay after we spent the day at my brother's. Welcome to the new members, we're happy you're here!

Questions:
1. How do you manage your day when you have a special holiday meal to eat?
2. How do you manage your WEEK when you have a special holiday meal to eat?
I don't do well eating little all day- I wind up starving for the big event and that's a recipe for disaster. I've compensated (for most holidays) by trying to keep the menu reasonable.
This week I did not plan menus well for the splurge- I put some things on the menu without thinking about the whole picture. Sometimes I just need to get the weekly menu/shopping done.
Thanks!

Congrats to the whole team for achieving 3rd place by percentage and pounds! A special shout-out to @19shmoo69 @Veta2018 @Jactop and @vegan4lyfe2012 for leading the way! And four weeks in the green...congrats on that to @ninyagwa!
@txcritter69 @Veta2018 @laurelfit57 Congrats on the losses!
@AyaTheTyga Welcome to the team! That's awesome that you have had such success already.
@reshii_devi Congrats on your success so far! That's good you are trying different things. I like the quote!
@Cornanda The day: I think it depends on your goals: do you want to maintain? Do you want to lose? Do you mind a gain? I usually try to enjoy one nice-sized plate and not have seconds. I don't do well with what my husband does (starve himself all day and then enjoy the meal). I usually eat something like leftovers from the night before or yogurt and berries. The week: I know what I SHOULD do: I should eat lighter all week so that I can enjoy myself on the big day. What DO I do? I eat normally and then regret stuffing myself on the big day.
Hi all. I had a great weekend. I worked on art. YES, I did tackle my clothes that needed to be folded and got them all folded! (GO ME!) Yesterday, we went to three used bookstores, which was fun. It was raining so book shopping in the rain was enjoyable. I did not do well at dinner: all the clothes folding and running around got me tired and I didn't want to cook. We got a pizza from the grocery store and I ate more of it than I should have.

Howdy Slim peeps,
I'm Sandy retired CO, I live in Central Texas with my husband John, cat Tigger and dog Diesel. I have 2 grown children Stephen and Brittney, both married and live in the area. 5 grandsons from 12 to 20.
I had a heart attack in 2013 and quit smoking which caused me to gain weight (186). I have lost roughly 15 of it but just can't seem to keep the scale moving in the right direction. Last week I had a visit with my Cardiologist and all was good but my triglycerides which had jumped 117 to 162. I don't see him again for a yr unless something comes up but I have to lose 20 lbs by then. This is doable I just have to put my mind to it.
It is time to say goodbye to all the junk food. This month we are cutting sugar back as much as possible. I am also back to loggin' food in MFP.
Have a Blessed day!5 -

2. How do you manage your WEEK when you have a special holiday meal to eat?
Hi Lisa! On the event day, I always plan to stay within my maintenance calories (1600). If I go above, its rarely more than an additional 400-600. And if I'm feeling guilty about the carbs will try to offset with a workout before bed. The day before (and up to 2 days after) I'll usually eat a little less, try to fast a little longer, and drink much more water. Other than that my weekly routine remains the same.

My name is Jennifer and I’m a 50 year old single empty nester and I share my home with my American Blue rabbit (her name is Kismet). I have 3 children in their 20s – oldest is my son, Marcus (granddaughter Sophie is 11 months), then my daughter Sydney (grandson Oliver is almost 2 months), and my youngest daughter Hunter (grandson Byron is almost 10 months & due with baby girl Brayden on 6/15/24). I love to rubber stamp (I’m a Stampin’ Up demo) and make cards. I'm an active member of my church (Board member), and also love horror movies. I have worked in Community Development at my County for 19 years.
I have always been a yo-yo dieter, but mainly up. When I lose weight, I can never seem to keep it off for longer than a year. Currently I am down 19 pounds and have about 45 pounds to go. I recommitted myself to eating whole, unprocessed foods about 90% of the time. I’m giving myself a little (10%) wiggle room for things like pasta and tortillas. I’ve also been soda-free for 100 days now.
2024 Mantra: Yes, I can!

Hey, all! Life is hectic with all the babies! Hopping in with random responses from March!
@19shmoo69 – Mystery Meat. Oh my lawd. And pickle dip? Is it pickled flavored dip? Or a special dip for pickles? Either way, I must know - I love pickles!
@laurelfit57 – Ty is too stinkin’ cute!
@AmbersWay – Fighting those cravings with you! So glad your son is ok. We know cars can be replaced, but people can’t. So glad your heart and sugars are good. Hugs…it seems like the stress never stops.
@Katmary71 – How did your final go? Sounds like a great time at trivia night!
@micaroo4 – I had poutine once in my life. I agree with you!
@trooworld – Share your pickle dip recipe, please! And yeah…that drink with clam and tomato sounds gag-inducing. I have a pile of clothes I need to fold. I have a lot to clean up in my room. I need to just put on a podcast and git’r dun.
@ninyagwa – You made me snort out loud with your “Cilantro in anything, it’s trash…” hahaha! I LOVE cilantro, so I’ll gladly eat yours and @katmary71’s share!
@tammycmcrady6278 – Good luck with the job interviews!
My ankle is giving me more trouble. Now it hurts even worse than after the 3rd surgery and, unbelievably, it hurts in an entirely different spot! I got a brace for it…hoping that helps. Super stoked that my son and his family surprised me with stopping by for a couple hours on their way to my DIL’s parents’. I let my daughters know so they could come over with their babies and I was able to get the most EPIC photo of the 3 cousins in the funny Easter outfits I got them! Is this not hilarious? Proves there are 3 kinds of people in the world – terrified, ready to party, and totally confused!
Anyway, I’m up a pound from last week, but I know exactly where I went wrong. Stopped at the store and was totally craving junk. Bought (and ate in their entirety within a 2 day period) a Daiya New York Style Cheesecake and the Almond breakfast pastry. Then I topped it off with vegan chicky nuggies, onion rings and ranch. Oh yeah. Go big or go home, right? I should’ve taken my A $ $ home. But I can at least say I tracked everything. Anyway, back on the wagon for me!
P.S. I hope all the peeps I sent Easter cards to received them!
2024 Mantra: Yes I can!

Hi! I'm Valeta from NW Indiana. I am a 49 year old housewife. September 2022, I weighed 180 lbs. and started my weight loss journey. Since then, I have loss 45 pounds and I am very close to my goal weight. I plan to reaching maintenance by May 1st. My goal this month is to setup a plan to tone and sculpt my new figure and maintain for life. I have all of you wonderful people to thank for all your support and advice. You gave me the confidence I needed to get to where I am today.
@Cornanda -
I manage my days with small portion sizes. I'll snack on small low calorie foods like an egg or Oiko triple zero yogurt and drink lots of water. I also do a good cardio workout to burn any extra calories I might consume. Then, when it comes to the meal, I have a taste of everything and I can go heavy on the veggies. I don't plan for the week. I plan day by day. I have an open diet. If you want to add me as a friend you can see what I eat.Questions:
1. How do you manage your day when you have a special holiday meal to eat?
2. How do you manage your WEEK when you have a special holiday meal to eat?
@trooworld - Thank you. Sounds like a wonderful way to spend a rainy day. The weather was beautiful here. I was able to get into my garden and get it ready for planting. Which won't be until Memorial Day, but it was nice to spend time in there.
@txcritter69 - Great goal! You can do it!💪 Mission Slimpossible Strong! 💪

I'm Divya. I work as a corporate accountant. I live in Georgia with my husband and 2 kids ( 9 and 2 years old). We added a new member to our family last year, a sheepadoodle pup named Leo. He is my son's dog but I have fallen head over heels in love with Leo.
During the Pandemic work was stressful as our team was cut down to half + virtual learning for my son + I was finishing my Master's degree and I was pregnant with my daughter. I was able to successfully finish all that I started but it took quite a blow to my body. I reached my highest weight of 170lbs and I have entered the prediabetic zone. My goal this year is to take care of my health, I enjoy going out on walks with my family. My hobbies are gardening, cooking, reading, and photography. I started weight training and Intermittent fasting this year but it's challenging to be consistent with it. So far I have reduced 20 lbs. and I have 30 lbs. to go.6 -
