Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 223.6 CW: 222.8 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. It's a miracle the scales fluctuated below last week's number after the past few days food, came very close to a gain. This past week has been an interesting one, managed to get a few short walks in first few days, but…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 225 CW: 223.6 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Nice to have a green week again and hit the milestone of 2.5 stone gone! (35.8lb). Saturday I was 221.8, yesterday 222.8 and now this number. I thought Saturday's weight was quite a drop that seemed a bit much to lose for me in a…

Hey all, Wow we are having super warm weather here still, been melting whilst doing garden work last few days, I must be mad to do such things when it's so hot and feeling even hotter cause of TOM haha. I've been eating extra calories past two days, but still under cals for expected 0.5lb loss however. Felt a bit ropey…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 227.2 CW: 225 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. It was nice to see the scale this morning. I'm a little dubious on the number for multiple reasons, however, going to definitely take it! With this number, I'm currently 0.6lb away from a total loss so far of 2.5 stone (35lb).…

Thank you, everything they do there at that takeaway place is so delicious and family run so, feels good to support local business. I could have got worse options there that involved lots of cheese so, it was a tasty win in some senses. An hour ago I have seemed to manage to fix my bike gears as they were playing up so,…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 225.4 CW: 227.2 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Ouch, it wasn't nice to see this number staring back this morning. I ended up having having takeaway greek food on Saturday evening, it wasn't all bad as I had grilled chicken skewers, the chips, tzatziki and coleslaw were…

Hi all, So it's been a few days on around 1500 cals since restaurant meal on Tuesday. I thought the scales would of travelled back down more, but they haven't really so, getting a loss this week looks unlikely now with the weekend upon us. As I said, I can move back down in the next few weeks so in the grand scheme of…

Had a proper meal out in a restaurant for the first time in like a year last night, it felt surreal to be back in such places, it reminded me of how things were before this whole pandemic situation. There were measures in place, however, to get the "normality" feeling back for a few hours felt good. My meal was definitely…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 228 CW: 225.4 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Surprised by the weigh in this morning. I weighed myself a few days ago at 226 and then yesterday at this weight 225.4, I didn't think it'd stick around. Not sure how it's such a big loss because on Friday evening my takeaway…

@rwood566 I think a lot of people can relate to your responses, myself included. It is sad that how our minds can absorb such societal pressures which in time, contribute into us diminishing our own self worth based on something so superficial that in the grand scheme of things, doesn't fully matter because looks fade over…

Hi all, I'm planning on replying to your responses, first I'd like to share a pizza update from yesterday. I mentioned about how I've seen that you could do stuffed crust with it and well, yesterday I gave it a go and it worked! I would post a video of seeing the cheese pulled, but MFP seems to be in dinosaur age in video…

Thank you so much for your supportive comments Theresa and Linda @TheresaM787 @lindamtuck2018 - they warmed my heart to read and is appreciated. Love the podcast insight, it's very true on the coulda woulda shoulda aspects of life, isn't it? I'm trying to think of it more as everything happens for a reason and when it's…

Hi everyone, Just wanted to come on and share some thoughts that have been present the past few days. I can finally start to see a bit more of my collarbone than I did 30 pounds ago, small changes like that are making me feel like I'm moving on the right track. Being honest, these past few days I've had moments where I've…

Thanks everyone for your feedback, I was surprised with how the dough turned out too. If you're wanting to try the pizza recipe out, check out @livthepositivefooodie on Instagram, it's their recipe and it's on their highlight reels under stuffed crust and throughout their instagram posts I believe. I haven't yet tried…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 229.2 CW: 228 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. It feels like I post my weigh in on a Monday and I blink and it's that time again so quickly haha. I've been enjoying reading all the posts over the past week. I can't remember if I managed to dog walk or not last week, I did…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 230.4 CW: 229.2 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Now hit 30.2 pounds gone so far!! I'm starting to move closer into the amount I lost first time round, I vaguely remember it being in the 35 pound+ amount. I'm finally making progress into the amounts that seemed so out of…

Hi Theresa, thanks so much for your lengthy thoughtful reply, I've been meaning to respond back in the last few days. Thank you, yes that's the aim! Hahaha, I used to be the same on a regular basis with the three meals, two snacks, dessert and graze throughout the middles of those times situation too. Each day I try and…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 232 CW: 230.4 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Wow, another month gone! Hello to all new members :) This past week, I got some movement in with a 4.2mile walk, shopping walking and a 25 min weight lifting session. I spent some time in the last few days repotting chilli plants…

Ooo nice suggestions. I reccommend using wireless headphones if possible for a immersive experience and wouldn't need to worry about choking yourself with wires or waking up your hubby @lindamtuck2018 . I kid you not one evening, I fell asleep with my wireless headphones on and then woke up at 2amish with them still on and…

Thanks Linda and @TheresaM787! I've just seen your post about sleep Linda, have you tried listening to frequency music about half hour before bed? I've started to listen to 432hz frequency music via youtube videos, relaxation music is subjective so may be a case of checking various out, I know I do!

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 233.4 CW: 232 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Did 5.3 mile walk, 5.6 mile bike ride and had birthday celebrations this past week. I didn't end up getting takeaway (takeout) and instead got food to cook in the oven at home from supermarket which was a win. The no takeaway…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 234 CW: 233.4 ---- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Had a reasonably active week this past week. On Monday, I did over 11k steps on a socially distanced nature walk with a friend and two other days just took dogs out on a 30/40min walk round the block. I'm off out for another…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 235 CW: 234 ---- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Had quite an active week this past week. On Monday I did near 30 mins of weights, Tuesday ended up collecting and moving over 50 heavy patio slabs which took a couple of hours, Thursday I did over 12,000 steps on a nature walk…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 235.4 CW: 235 ---- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Just hit my first ever 100 day log in streak woo! Towards the end of the week, I made the decision to allow myself to go up to 1790 per day amount this week, given the easter nests and chocolate. I tracked all of it to best of…

If you refresh the page after commenting then on your post to the right, you should see a cogwheel underneath the 3 dots that allows you to edit the post for an hour time limit :)

Wow fast reply, thank you - I was just making some edits on my reply as you replied haha. Yes, it does have it's benefits :) it has helped me get restarted this year combined with mindset change. I wouldn't say I've been doing massively intensive exercise with it yet either, I'm already in a deficit so shouldn't go too…

Hi, I use a local meal prep service for 5 out of 7 days a week which provides breakfast, lunch, dinner and 1 snack that comes out to around 1500 calories. The other 2 days in the week I calorie count whatever I eat myself.. I did do 7 days a week at the start of the year, but moved to 5 days a week for varying reasons.…

Thanks for all your congrats :). Yes, I'm still on the meal plans at 5 days a week. I think with still being a long way off my goal weight, I'm thinking that I need to continue with it for a good few months at least. If I end up at my predicted weight at the end of the year, perhaps then I'd feel a bit more mentally…

Weigh in: SW: 259.4 PW: 237.6 CW: 235.4 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Wow, another new month, it's like you post the first post of the month, you blink and another has rolled around! I'm pleased to say going into the 4th month of the year that my weight loss journey is still progressing nicely. The prospect of…

Hi Lel, I read this and if it's any consolation, I am feeling similar in regards to others and myself. I am a mix on the trust front. Additionally it seems that ghosting is another pandemic going on. I find it can happen from anyone in your life and damn it hurts. I've tried to casually communicate with them, but for…
