  • @raindogmaa what I do when I have cravings I dissolve in a big mug half cube of Knorr bouillon in hot water and drink that ... the saltiness, flavor and the warm broth its enough to satisfy me. I don’t like the bone / chicken / beef broth they sell in the supermarkets and I could not find the liquid bouillon from Knorr in…
  • @mnwalkingqueen sorry about your dad ... can only imagine how hard it must be. But well done not using food as coping mechanism! @skinnyjeanzbound good workouts! Have fun with the theater and dinner ... strawberry basil martinis sound delish!! I must be the only person in this planet that has not read / seen Handmaid Tales…
  • Hi - would love to join ... 44 and have to lose about 60lbs
  • Hello All! @KATRENAJ how interesting and rewarding what you are doing! Hope everything goes well with your class and soon you are helping those families. @mnwalkingqueen I am there with you cooking for 1 is hard … I try to cook and freeze to have something ready for those days that I didn’t feel like cooking … I always had…
  • I remember when I was here the first time and I would read the stories of people that gained back the weight and I would think how did you allow that to happen?! Oh well ... now I am in the same boat ... have not gained all back, but 2/3!!! Now I know how they “allow” that to happen .... everything tastes better with a…
  • As always on and off .... but here I am again :smiley: It’s been quite busy since I decided to enroll in an online certificate about diversity and inclusion so had tons of homework but have been at least trying to read the posts and track my food. I am moving to a new apartment so that has taken a bit of my time as well…
  • Helloooooo .... well not a good week at all .. what started last weekend with a “just once” ended up being the whole week of poor food and exercise choices ... I haven’t even weighted myself because I might crack the scale :neutral: and worst part I haven’t even made the attempt to track my food because I think deep inside…
  • Happy Saturday!! Beautiful day here in Chicago ... it’s sunny, hardly any clouds and even though it’s still a bit chilly it’s nice outside for a walk. I am just having breakfast at this coffee shop that I love ... but it’s such a temptation with all these pastries (croissants, scones, etc) :blush: But I was good though ...…
  • Hi All .... it’s been a crazy week at work ... thought would be easy but when I think I can take a break something else pops up .... but have been trying to log and move as much as possible ... I am walking back from work everyday so at least it’s something. @raindogmaa thanks for the warm welcome back! I am looking…
  • @skinnyjeanzbound what a great way to celebrate your 50th birthday! My husband is turning 50 this year as well so we are thinking of organizing a trip ... not sure where yet, but somewhere to relax and enjoy some warm weather for sure!! I live close to Navy Pier, so if you ever want to meet to walk the lake front let me…
  • @GOINSTD12 yes no choice but be patient... glad you are feeling better though. @bigblueeyes1 we all been where you are ... day by day, step by step ... at some point you are going to need to exercise because your body “asks” for it ... you won’t even question it and the same with food you will not need to watch portions…
  • @sweeetypie1 I try to stay around 1200 - 1300 .. not always successful though :wink: also the 1st time I was at MFP I would hardly eat back my exercise calories and that work quite well for me ... I consistently lost weight. I know if I go over that for sure I will gain.
  • Yes, I moved back after like 8 years .... now I am downtown since it’s closer to work but before was in the suburbs. Aren’t you glad the winter is almost over? Finally able to be out! Really looking forward to some warm weather!
  • @skinnyjeanzbound Iceland how fun!!! Never been but have a couple friends that went and the pictures were amazing! Well done with your plank and squat challenge ... I am just starting to exercise a bit ... the last couple days the weather has been nice in Chicago so took the opportunity to walk back home from work ... it’s…
  • @GOINSTD12 feel better soon :smile:
  • @sweeetypie1 good that you are tracking your weight ... I think the key to success here is if there a step back to review what we have done and take action right away ... last year I was very lax with it and then when I realized what was happening I had gained half what I lost the previous year ... so not to be totally…
  • @Sarah7518 don’t feel embarrassed... if there is a group that understand where you are starting is this one .... what is important is that you have decided to take care of yourself and you are already loosing those extra lbs :smile: And I know from experience sharing those numbers with the group makes you acknowledge your…
  • @GOINSTD12 hope you and sister are feeling better!
  • Hi All ... after a year of hardy any logging and falling of the wagon badly (gained back like 40lbs !!!) trying to get back to MFP and logging .... glad to see some of the same names in this group and that they remain committed to their health :smile: Today is day 7 of logging and quite happy about it ... one day at the…
  • Hi All! OK a good start! Last night had a dinner party and I am so proud of myself for not getting tempted with all the desserts ... which was actually what I had to bring to the party. Didn't have a chance to get anything Keto friendly since was a bit last minute ... but for next time I will :smile: SW: 230 CW: 169.8…
  • Hi! Sort of new to this group and just started seriously to follow Keto ... MFP logging started December 2016 ... my 1st year lost 80lbs, but this year have been on/off with food, exercise and MFP so there has been no progress (actually gained back 20lbs :neutral: ) ... but now that everything is more calm I am back to…
  • Lol this was his 1st time and he was in heaven ... everyone was looking at us because his whole head had whipping cream
  • Hi all ... sorry I went MIA for the challenge but got family visiting and now need to travel; will rejoin in a couple weeks. Sharing a photo from this morning ... someone is not following a diet .... my doggie enjoying his puppyccino
  • Good Morning! Well this week has definitively been better than the previous ... I am back to the weight where I started the challenge so even though I have lost a couple weeks at least now I am in the right direction! I always like to try new exercises, so this time is Barre and I loved it! And the best part they had a…
  • So definitively all that baking didn't help at all .... I gained this week :'( , plus is that time ... so hopefully the following weeks will be better! I am also going to Pure Barre this week, for newbies they were offering classes at $10/ea so will give it a try. Its low impact so I think should be OK, specially since I…
  • Good Morning! I love to bake and for a while I was not doing so because if I don't have anyone to share with, well I will eat it all myself (my husband hardly eats any baked goods) .... and well sure enough, I baked a maple walnut almond flour loaf .... it was yummy and needless to say, I ate half of it during the…
  • Happy Sunday! Quite happy about the challenge ... I have not done one in a while, so I hope I can keep up and reach my goal. I think the 1st time I did one might have been around this time last year and it was a good one, so fingers crossed this one brings me luck as well :p @arschrock welcome to the group ... I know the…
  • @kbeyer23 well done!! 8lbs in a month is great!!!! :) I am joining the summer challenge for sure! need some accountability ASAP! So this morning I stepped on the scale ... bad news, overnight I gained whatever I lost this week :( but I guess it might be water retention ... last night we had dinner with my husband's…
  • LOL just read my comment to @KATRENAJ ... meant more confident, not confined! :D
  • Hi All, Two days of full logging … yay!! Still over calories, but getting better. A couple days ago I discovered at Whole Foods, Butternut spirals, so like noodles. I had them for lunch yesterday with a blue cheese sauce … yum!! I think it was a super easy option … it gets done in 5 minutes and it was like comfort food for…
