Thank you for your replies, it is supportive and encouraging to read them each week and glad for the indirect unexpected inspiration that I gave with my post.. I just need to follow through with my own words! I think the aspect of bouncing between a few pounds and emotions over past few months that within myself I have…

Morning all, Here for Monday check in and hello a new month! I must say, opening up the thread and seeing an image of a clean slate was comforting. November didn't plan out on the weight loss front as I had hoped but I'm looking to improve in this coming month. Even if it's baby steps and not a direct loss on the scale, it…

Hi all, Apologies on the lateness of my check in - technically it's still Monday in America. Had a very busy and stressful day, I did think about MFP a few times but it unfortunately slipped from my mind. It is crazy we are going into December in a week's time, I can't believe it. I'm posting now but going to go and catch…

Morning all, Here for Monday check in. Anyone else feeling like you blink and before you know it it's another new week and the days just blur and blend into one? Feeling that a lot lately. I managed to get in some walking on Friday but apart from that, not much else. With me dancing around with same few pounds, there has…

Hi all, Here for Monday check in. Wow, I logged back in and you have all been busy had over 10 pages to catch up on! Was a good read for sure. Great to see you back @mari_moulin - I echo what other team members have said. This week has been a mixed one but managed to do some cycling this past week. Whilst I'm not massively…

Hi all, Here for Monday check in. Wow, into another month already! This past week I've continued to try more Pinch of Nom recipes which has been enjoyable. Looking back, last month I only technically lost 0.4 pounds which is still a loss but very minimal.. I need to step up in the next few weeks before the holidays. I know…

Hi all, Here for Monday check in. This past week I followed some recipe book recipes - Pinch of Nom ones (recommend having a look at their cookbooks if you haven't already as they can be good for a lower calorie options and also give inspiration into recipes you may not have tried before - as I've found out this week…

Morning all, Here for Monday check in. I've decided that later today I'm going to try and do a meal plan for the coming week as noticing not so great habits have crept back in food wise and I don't want to keep on seeing gains or maintains as the goal is to be losing! Of course fluctuations happen but small things will…

Hi all, Here for Monday check in. It's been a rollercoaster of a week with job interviews, job offers and injury! I fell down the stairs on Wednesday, thankfully nothing broken and walking pretty much back to normal but foot/ankle still not 100% so not sure where I stand on exercise unfortunately. Had a few not so good…

Morning all, Woo, hello the October thread. Cannot believe that it is a new month already! Happy to be carrying on with the team for another month. I don't know if it's similar where you guys are but definitely noticed the weather change and temperatures drop down. Where has this year gone? On Saturday I weighed in at…

Morning all, Here for Monday weigh in. I forgot to get new batteries this past week so shall hopefully get some this evening if I remember! For the past few days I've maintained on 250lb so thought by today might go down a little but stepped on this morning, first it was 251 but then I brb'd to do some stuff and tried…

Hi all, Here for Monday weigh in. I'll be honest I don't actually know what my weight is this morning because the scales have gave me multiple readings ranging from 248.6, 248.8, 249 and 249.8. When I first stepped on it said 248.8, I was like omg then ran to get my phone from upstairs, came back down stepped back on said…

Hi All, Here for Monday weigh in. I haven't had a good week this week with food or exercise so I shouldn't be surprised that the scales have went up with having take away (takeout) on Saturday so have rocketed back up again. I know I need to try and refocus as I've noticed some habits creep back in with my eating and less…

Morning all, Here for Monday weight in. Been a mixed food week this week but by some miracle I didn't gain. Not too worried yet on fluctuations too heavily in this 1-2lb area as there's another 3 weeks left so if I get my backside in gear then I shouldn't go back too high as of course the goal is to go the opposite way! :)…

Hi all, Here for Monday check in for the end of the month of August but woo a new thread for September! I enjoyed participating in the group in August, welcome new members I think you'll enjoy it here. Last week I weighed in at 250 but this morning the scale read 251.2. It's technically not September yet with it being the…

Thank you, the only tracker I really use is MFP on the check in feature I hit edit previous entries and it shows all weights I've entered from beginning to now :) I also use memos on phone then can enter in on MFP later if I can't immediately. I'm not sure if it was this thread or another where someone suggested weight…

Morning all, Here for Monday check in. I stepped on the scales and came out at 250 to my surprise again due to being like 250.8 yesterday. Will have to see if that remains with weight fluctuations and if it does, I'll hopefully go into the 40's next week :)

Thanks for your comment about my check this week :) it may sound really simple but have you tried when you have cravings at night to drink a big glass of water before hand? I find if I do this (not just at night time) then it makes me feel fuller, sometimes it doesn't work and I cave in anyway but sometimes it's the…

Hi all, Here for Monday check in. I'm surprised to see any form of a loss on the scale this week given I had went up to 252 during the week and then 251.4 yesterday. I had dominos pizza, cookies and fudgy rolo brownies over the weekend.. there is still some brownies left but I know I can factor in for the rest of the day…

Thank you, I did level 1 sporadically ages ago and even then found it difficult.. that one session last week felt tougher now being heavier! It is a good workout though. I've done regular workouts in the last few months in terms of PE with Joe I did about a month (5 days a week) and then Chloe Ting 2 week shred (got about…

Morning everyone, here for a Monday check in. This morning on the scale I weighed in at 250.8. I'm happy to see those digits and hoping they'll stay and continue to go down! I still did multiple days of walking and one day of level 1 30 day shred Jillian Michaels so I feel I'm retaining some activity despite my food not…

Thanks for the motivation. Slow and steady wins the race but doesn't stop the thoughts of wanting to be already at the finish line again. I think I'm doing something right on some level as even though I haven't lost a huge amount since end of March (about 7lbs), the fact it's coming off or fluctuating back and forth in a…

Hi all, Just checking in for the start of August, unfortunately this morning on the scale I weighed in at 252.6. The scales initially said 252.8/253 but then changed the batteries as it had been a while since doing so, so goes to show how batteries can effect the calibration. I'm not overly worried about the gain as a few…

Hi all, I signed up for the first time and was assigned into this group for August so hello from a newbie. My name is Zoe and I'm from the UK. I've been around MFP for nearly a decade, back in 2012/2013 I somehow got down to my lowest adult weight of 171/172lbs. I have since gained it all back and a lot more due to varying…

Hi all, Thank you for the welcome. I've been around MFP for nearly a decade, back in 2012/2013 I somehow got down to my lowest adult weight of 171/172lbs. I have since gained it all back and a lot more due to varying reasons.. it is frustrating to think I would of been close to goal but now time to move forward and back…

Ignore post

Hi all, just checking in. I have been loving reading all your messages through this month, so supportive of one another and that is motivating! The last proper weigh in of July and as it stands, I have met the goal by hitting in the 251 range! I weighed yesterday morning, it was another case of step on showed 251.0 then…

Sorry to hear about your relative, sounds like you've got a lot going on but I have no doubt you'll continue to smash this month! Wow, that doctor could have used a little sensitivity.. it sounds like the shoe has never been on the other foot for them.. I recognise extra weight when jumping isn't good for the knees but…

Hi all, Doing a weekly check in. I felt accomplished last week with being more active - 3x 30 mins on the stationary bike, more walks and other chores adding into the activity. I must have turned some sort of corner as I sat down to start on the stationary bike at 9:43pm at night after the rest of the days activities!…
