  • Hi everyone! It’s been a great week. I have still been a snack monster, but I have made a lot of progress with my fitness goals. My husband even noticed and surprised me with new running shoes (mine were very cheap and very old 😂). Hope everyone else is doing well this week! Name- brttny7979 Weigh in day- Monday SW- 198…
  • Hi! Not a great week weight-loss wise, but I had an awesome vacation with family and am back at it today with healthy eating and a 3 mile run, so hopefully the tide will turn back around. Happy Monday everyone! Name- brttny7979 Weigh in day- Monday SW- 198 PW- 145.6 CW- 147.2
  • Hi everyone! We are on spring break officially (which isn’t quite the same when you have 3 kids out of school constantly requesting snacks and entertainment), but excited for a little break from work. Traveling again so just aiming for maintenance next week and hoping to get some exercise in during the trip. Hope everyone…
  • @SavageMrsMoose - happy belated birthday to buddy! Been a busy week but finally back on track after my vacation! Sorry for the late weigh-in. Been on top of the exercise and about 80-20 with nutrition (maybe more like 70-30 thanks to those darn jelly beans hitting stores with Easter on the way). Either way- just happy to…
  • Hi everyone! @Pupowl - love the cards! Thanks for the motivation. I definitely needed it. Back today after vacation and I definitely blew it out. Up 1.5 lbs, but it was a great time and I’m committed to getting back on track today. Trying to see these changes as a lifestyle and I know breaks/vacations have to be part of…
  • Hi everyone! Late again on my weigh-in (supposed to be Monday). Sorry! It’s been a good week overall. I ran a 5k in 33 minutes which is something I never would have been able to do a year ago! Excited and nervous about a girls trip this weekend which will likely make it difficult to exercise and eat right. Plan is to enjoy…
  • Hi everyone! I am overdue for my weigh-in (Weigh day is Monday). Been a rough week with sick kiddos, but pushing through. I have been running and have noticed a big difference in my times, even though my diet leaves lots of room for improvement. Excited to do a 5k this weekend! So here goes Name- brttny7979 SW- 198 PW- 150…
  • Hi everyone! Pretty good week. Lots of exercise, but still struggling with feeling hungry all the time (even eating a lot!). Not a lot of time today- sick husband so I’m on solo mom duty. Hope everyone has a great week Name- brttny7979 SW- 198 PW- 150 CW- 150
  • Hi everyone! Last week/weekend was great and I got some movement on the scale, but today has been rough. Stressed out and can’t stop snacking. Remembered to check in here and hopefully that can help me get out of this spiral (already well over my daily calorie goal and nearing the f* it zone which I am trying to avoid).…
  • Hi everyone. Pretty good week. Ran a 5k in under 35 minutes which is definitely not something I could have done 1 year ago! Still struggling with the sweets, but grateful for any loss- 1 pound at a time! Username- brttny7979 Weigh-in day- Monday SW- 198 PW- 153 CW- 152
  • Hi everyone! Rough week this week. I’ve had a major sweet tooth and haven’t been eatting on plan, but I’ve been exercising still so at least no gain. Hope everyone has a great week! Username- brttny7979 Weigh-in day- Monday SW- 198 PW- 153 CW- 153
  • Hi everyone! Username- brttny7979 Weigh-in day- Monday SW- 198 PW- 154 CW- 153 Happy to be down a pound since I have not been very rigid with my calorie goals, but excited to have hit more than 6 months of daily logging this week! Hope everyone has had a great week. Ps. not sure if there are any Jacksonville people around,…
  • Username- brttny7979 Weigh-in day- Monday SW- 198 PW- 155 CW- 154 I’m super excited to have lost anything this week since most of my time I was on vacation and not eating in a calorie deficit, but we did stay active with some hiking and lots of walking and I got back on track when I got home a couple of days ago, so I…
  • Hi! So excited to be here. I’ve been on/off MFP for over 10 years. I struggle with binging/restriction, but have been working on moderation and sustainable changes since July and am down 43 lbs. Hit a plateau the past month (holidays) and looking to gain support/motivation. I’m excited to travel with just my husband this…
  • Hi! Working mom of 3 and also struggling with motivation- especially since the holidays. Love to add some support and accountability. Feel free to add me!
  • Thanks! Adding everyone! I’d also love to keep this post going if anyone is interested. I lost some weight quickly after birth (while breastfeeding), but weaning has been brutal and I gained 10 lbs the first month I stopped pumping. Still nursing 2x/day and I dread dropping those last 2 feeds in case it makes it even…
  • Love this! Feel free to add me, but this week has been rough so no judgment! Usually I’m pretty good in the 1200-1300 range.
  • Just did a diet bet to kick off my weight loss. Only invested $25 and won $46 after losing 4%of my weight in 1 month. It definitely added motivation for me!
  • Fudge all the way Boneless or traditional wings?
  • Oh and anyone but the patriots! Always!
  • So I had planned a healthy dinner and ended up splurging after with some buffalo chicken dip and Fritos. Pretty reasonable serving, but that stuff adds up fast! Ended up over my daily calories by almost 400, but I’m actually calling it a win since usually a splurge like this would send me into an all out binge of “well I…
  • Congrats! This is #goals!
  • Great post. I definitely don’t have the answer as I am back on MFP for the billionth time, but looking forward to reading everyone’s responses!
  • I feel like I’m in the same boat with the frustration-quit-gain cycle! Really want to break it, so I’m with you! Also had to give up on my “Halloween” goal, but I keep trying to remember that ups and downs are okay because this is long term change and won’t always come easy. Just think of how much is stinks to start over…
  • Hi and welcome to everyone new!Hadn’t checked in for a couple weeks, so I thought I would try posting to avoid the temptation calling me from the kids candy bags! Since my last check-in, I’ve been inconsistent with my eating and logging, but trying to get back on track this week (seems like the theme for October). I’m down…
  • Hey everyone. Didn’t check in this weekend because it has been a rough week that mostly consisted of me stress/binge eating, not logging, and avoiding the scale. Everything from Halloween candy to donuts and I honestly felt sick! Don’t know why I always do this! This morning, I finally got up the nerve to step on the scale…
  • Hi everyone, Week went pretty well. I’ve bumped up my exercise for a new challenge I’m doing, but I’ve been snacking a bit more too. Staying in my calorie range (or pretty close), but on the high end. Not a ton of movement on the scale this week, but determined to stick it out and try to decrease the snacking next week…
  • Hello everyone! Huango- I feel your pain! Hope your break week was helpful! Syreina- congrats on your engagement! This week has been good! I’ve been getting in the fall mood and doing lots of cooking (some things healthier than others). Fell off the wagon on Friday with Halloween treats for an outdoor movie party, but…
  • Hi! How is everyone? It’s been a good week for me...I’ve been sticking to my calorie range and doing intermittent fasting. Weighed in at 154 this am, although today has been rough with 2 social obligations involving all day eating/drinking. Hoping to get right back at it tomorrow. Now that I’m really noticing changes, I…
  • Hey everyone! Thanks for all the support last week! This week has been so much better. I’m back on track and already lost my “gained weight” and a few pounds more. I think part of my gain was water retention from all the bad foods so luckily it dropped off quick. I’m also incorporating intermittent fasting into my meal…
