@HurleyHurley – I also keep my information in Excel, tracking my weight and 3-day and 5-day moving averages and charts! I haven’t made my charts as pretty as yours! I did it because I find the charts available in MFP to be lacking. I even added linear regression to my chart, and I know they say that weight loss is not…

@torihudson6 – Definitely get that slow-cooker out and make some big batches of those recipes on that website! Also, @mmccloy12 , you said you like sheet pan recipes – so does Gina (creator of the skinnytaste website). She has a bunch of delicious sheet pan or one pan recipes. I like those recipes, too. Prep and clean up…

Had my holiday party last night - didn't do too badly, was up 1.2 lbs today likely due to high-salt items. I'm drinking lots more water today, and I walked this morning and did a fair amount of walking at lunch. Welcome to the new folks on the thread! @Terytha - I'm sorry you are having a rough time. I've been through my…

I have to echo everyone else’s comment of how this thread has grown! I wish I’d been able to participate more this week but work got in the way. For those new to MFP or those who are figuring things out, one of my favorite posts ever is the first post in this thread:…

My friend posted this on Facebook, and I wanted to copy it here because I think it's a good read. I already know it's an article I'll return to, just to read and remind myself of why I'm on this path. The article is written by Brianna Wiest, and you can see it posted here:…

Yes, you'll find this is an active group! This is not an official MFP "group," with membership, moderators, and multiple threads. This is a group of people who post regularly on a monthly thread, unofficially moderated by @RavenStCloud. Each month-end, that month's thread is wrapped-up and a new thread is posted for the…

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving if you are celebrating! Just popping in for a quick look, then back to the furious food prep! @RavenStCloud, thank you for starting this thread, I've been inspired by the ladies on the thread and it's been a great help to me. I have found inspiration in a variety of places - some posts…

I can’t believe there is one more week in this month! Looking forward to Thanksgiving this week, I’ll probably be starting my prep every night this week. @mmccloy12 – I’m sorry you are facing so many issues. Focus on the basics during your trip, keep drinking water! I know others have given you excellent ideas, but do you…

Just over the halfway mark! Time to stay strong! @HurleyHurley – congratulations on hitting such a momentous milestone! Even if you think you might bounce back up, it will be a short time before you’ve seen the last of the 300s. Or maybe you’ll just never see that “3” again. Believe it! @Terytha – so nice to see you’ve…

@sharpdust - yes to the walk keeping you focused! I think getting my workout accomplished made me feel more in control. I had two glasses of wine and only one bite of the various cheeses they had out during the cocktail hour. Enjoy the wedding! I think taking some mental pauses prior to eating really helped me in…

@bluffgirl67 - Hoping for the best outcome for your Mom. It's wonderful you can be there with her! @bdbjswbrb - Sounds like you're a daily weigher like me, so I know it's hard to ride the water weight fluctuation roller coaster. And that's just what it is - water - because you know you are doing the right things and to…

Everyone’s posts this week have been so inspiring! @stefsc1 – so happy for you and your shopping experience. You have really come so far and getting into smaller sizes provides positive reinforcement!

@torihudson6 , On 9/8 I weighed in for the first time in over a year, 239 lbs. I had been working out for 4 months and tracking food for a few weeks to get back into the habit. I promptly gained 2 lbs that first week, to my chagrin. And I had no weight-lifting routine to explain why I'd have gained weight. Fast-forward two…

Hi! I'm new to posting on the forums but definitely not new to MFP - have been here since 2013 and lost 113 lbs initially. Gained about 60 lbs back over about a year-and-a-half mostly due to being sidelined by a string of successive injuries; not sure of exactly how much I gained back because I didn't want to weigh myself…
