closing in on December 1.. so almost three months? Feels like forever! I fell off the rails a little, wasn't too interested in entering stuff in mfp.. too busy. I've been involved in a number of art shows so.. I seemed unable to do everything all at once.. but.. I have been doing what I can, when I can.. and also trying to…

Well over one month in. I'm still doing it! Wow! I've lost 8.8 lbs since starting back 5 weeks ago. Yesterday the gym was closed, so went sketching with a friend in town. We brought our bikes so we could sketch in different spots along the water... exercise and FUN!!! yup. that's the way to go. it was a glorious sunny…

fasted today (first time)... so didn't eat for 14 hours... first meal was at lunch. It was surprisingly easy! I thought I would feel faint by 10 am.. but not so. hmm.. had a healthy lunch and feel ready to go.. despite having a horrible nights sleep.

ive been on vacation, so not posting. But I have been active. I went caving for the first time.. I thought it would be a "walk" thru a cave.. not so. A lot of climbing, clambering, crouching and crawling thru small spaces! I had a couple moments where I thought panic would set in, but I talked myself thru.. and did it ..…

I can't believe I've been doing mfp (off and on...mostly off) for 11 years. I just did my measurements today (first time in five years) and have gained over 6 inches all over! Interestingly most of the inches were across the waist... so not good!! I however was interested to see that MFP keeps all your recorded data over…

day 4... had a lunch time glitch at my Dads ( cake and ice cream).. but recovered with an hour and a half hike after work.. followed by a lean dinner.. and am under my calorie goal.. maybe I'll have some dessert? Does anyone habitually run UNDER their calorie budget? I've heard its not as healthy.. but if you're under…

day 3.. 1 hour hike through the woods.. focused, and still feel motivated. (lol, I realize I'm only 3 days in, but sometimes I start in the morning and have lost my mojo by afternoon!) . Great concert last night, Stephen Fearing with Rick Moody... wonderful!

I am starting "again".... what I've learned thru many attempts.. is not to have a huge goal with a deadline thats unrealistic.. I've broken my 40 pound goal into 5 pound increments...I'm doing the 5 pound increments in 4 week blocks.. slow, but so doable. I'm posting my modest exercise attempts (hoping for 3 a week…

so my big start today, 20 minute quick walk along the seawall. We're going to an outdoor music concert tonight, so not much time.... I feel like I"ve made a start though.

thanks Chris! Today I jumped on the scales (habit).. and have lost 7pounds over the last two months.. I haven't really been focusing so much on the scale or diet.. just eating right.. which makes me feel good.. which makes me more active!! so the weight is starting to move. I haven't been strict.. just asking myself..…

Oatmeal, I'm in the same boat... trying to find my groove. I've been following Noom for a few months and when I'm finished the "program" I'm staying here. I think AnnP's advice is fabulous.. find something easy to follow, exercise that excites you and I thing you're good to go. Comparing Noom to MFP, MFP is just an easier…

I'm in the same boat, have been doing Noom for the last few months and have lost and found the same 5 lbs... yesterday I came back to mfp and read some of the comments and am always inspired by the long haulers... so.. today I'm beginning the hard , but rewarding journey of measuring every single thing that goes in my…
