    Hello everyone:

    @walkintofit I am logging in here so that my peers can support. I was logging into another room called "...mini goals...". A few wackos actually got offended and kicked me out.

    Pretty sure that is why I kept getting a msg that the post was unavailable. It was looking for you and you aren't there anymore. Weird since you were the last poster back in December and like the last 3 in a row. W/E. I was in the Philippines getting married when they did whatever that was. I think they changed the group name to Greaterthanlife daily food logging and deleted all other posts. LOL. I hope you are doing well.
    Guess i'm moving here: Flew off on Dec 7 at 312 came back after 5 weeks at 316. Not bad IMO with all I was up to. Goal is 275 by June. 40lbs in about 20 weeks.

    Hello everyone:

    I will be reporting for two days. My food as follows:

    01/10/25

    Chef salads
    Lunchables
    Carb master yogurts
    Granola bar
    Sugar free beverage

    Total calories 1935. Base calories 2140.

    01/11/25

    Fiesta salad
    Mixed vegetables
    Lox
    Lunchables
    Sugar free ice cream
    Sugar free beverage

    Total calories 2175. Base calories 2140. I went over base 35 calories. This is needs better strategy. I am letting everyone know that I still need strength and structure. Therefore, logging in calories is important for me right now. And your support does quite a lot. See everyone with hopefully improvement.

    Finishing a great week. Down 1kg, 4 more to go. One thing that I've started to do is to weigh things like rice and pasta, just realized that I was eating about 4 times the recommended portion :s Hope everybody has a nice start to the week.

    313.8. 1 lb from being back on loss after my vacation/wedding. Hyped that the scale is moving steady, hopefully it keeps going for a few more lbs before it levels out.

    I would think rice is more of a measure thing. 1 cup is 200 calories (cooked). I normally cal it 2 cups any time I eat rice. That is how much is in the 1 pint Chinese food container. I figure out that for reg rice you cook a cup you get 2. For sticky rice i cook a cup i get like 3. I'm not sure what that is about.

    Greaterthanlife 'the work of the mind' I think is just an interpretation that we should be putting our mind to work on the goals or things we actually want to work on, rather than distractions.

    Weird anecdote, many years ago I lived on the Isle of Man, there is a small island (calf the Calf of Man) a lovely little spot and you can see it as you drive down a long access road. I'd always thought 'I should bring the tripod at sunset and get a photo'. I put it off for years and one evening, I decided to get myself together and get over there, it was a half hour drive but I made it just before sunset.

    I tried my tripod in a few places and had to keep moving around to avoid traffic.

    I took tonnes of HDR photos and then spent a couple of days/hours editing.

    To this day, its one of my favourite photos, firstly because it was exactly as I'd imagined and secondly because it was born of me making the time and effort to do the thing.

    I'll try and find it and link it shortly.

    Love all the posts and momentum, well done all, I'm sat in the hotel lobby nursing a coffee. I think my habit this week now is more positive self talk, I do too much complaining to myself. If I think about the anecdote above, choosing action will make great things happen.

    The waitress who brought my porridge just asked if I was having a cooked breakfast too, typical Northen Ireland, no thanks, I've got a bowl of fruit and yogurt.

    Have a great day all, I'll see if I can find and post that picture.

    Darn, I'm sure it was a great photo, try again Mikey. sometimes it takes a while to load pictures on mfp.
    I am logging my food everyday even if its tedious. I need a break through and the only way to do that is log every bite.

    It's been a couple of weird days, one of my wisdom teeth got removed so I wasn't able to do any sport and gain a lot of weight, about 2kg which is weird because I only been eating soup and water. :|

    309.8. Mild milestone first time. Exactly 7 years ago I was at 308.4. The next day i drop to 306.2. That is the lowest I ever tracked on MFP. So in the next week or so i'll be tracking new lows for the last 7 years. I'm pretty sure it was about 18 years ago that I dropped to around 270. So i'm getting close to being my lightest weight since my 30's.

    Hi everyone! Checking in before the start of the weekend, had a couple of rough days because of the extraction of 2 wisdom teeth, only eating soup and juice. I've realized that I can live without eating chicken and rice :D Congrats @trixsterjl31 and @Greaterthanlife! Keep going!

    I will jump into this also! I just started logging today. Everything is set for tomorrow. Today was grocery stuff.

    Beginning weight: 274
    Current Wight: 220
    Next goal: 200 in 16 weeks

    Need to get to working out. It'll be good. Will help me in clearing my head. Might end up playing chess better.

    It's good to hear that there are others on this thread. Have a good one!

    Mike,

    I hope you are well, staying motivated.... (You ARE a motivator of others; but TREAT yourself right! Be good to yourself and remember loving yourself is just as important (or maybe even more) as loving anyone else!
