Hello Peeps! Daughter and family are coming over today (6 grandkids - 16-2yo!!!). I baked cookies yesterday and that did not go well as far as my healthy diet is concerned. I don't have much time this morning as I want to get a short run in, but I wanted to check in. Hope everyone has a Nice Day!

Good Morning Runners! November miles so far 45.6. I always strive for 65/month. I should make it with 2 more long runs on my calendar. I hope everyone has an enjoyable run today!

So happy to hear from everyone! Cory, On my birthday last week hubby asked if I wanted a cake. I said no so he said we will go shopping and get you a Thanksgiving outfit! That worked really well. I usually do crafts or make out Christmas cards on Thanksgiving. This year we are spending the week with my son and his family…

Oh My! I forgot how much I loved this Group! I feel guilty because I cannot make time to read and comment on everyone's achievements. I hope everyone remembers there are a lot of us out here that appreciate the reports and comments that everyone posts. According to Garmin my fitness age has been increasing and I am not…

Greetings! I went over my calorie goal yesterday, so I am not a happy camper this morning. Too much sugar and my tummy hurt, and I still feel it. My weight was up, of course. Friday is weigh in but I weigh every day and I accept that it will always be up on Saturday, but dang! Anyway, going to walk the dog and do a 6-mile…

Happy Friday - Not an excuse to overindulge! Well I failed at the strength / stretch yesterday. I ran 6 miles and loved it, the weather has been so nice. I'm house sitting for the neighbor so in addition to my running I'm walking the dog once a day. And going over there in the evening for an hour keeps me from snacking…

Good Morning! CONGRATULATIONS MARLA!!!!! I am so happy for you. Please don't leave us though. Success breeds success! I'm feeling good. I've been staying under my calorie budget for 3 days now and the scale is showing it. Going for a run this morning. Sarah, How's the kitchen remodel coming along. Send us some pics.…

Hump Day! The weekend is coming and I'm going to stay on track during the week and weekend! Today is my birthday so instead of cake hubby is going to buy me a sweater to wear on Thanksgiving! Today: Stay Focused

Hello Friends! Tuesday is looking good! I have my meals planned today and since I'm not running tomorrow, I can have a salad for lunch! If I'm running the next day it seems to be too much fiber(tmi). I'm looking forward to a salad! I hope you all stay healthy and happy today. Remember: Discipline is Self Love

Good Morning! It's a New Week and I plan on making the most of it! We went out of town this weekend and I ate way too many calories. I'm ready to get back to eating low cal and not feeling sluggish. I'm trying crocheting to help keep my thoughts away from the kitchen. So far, it's not helping!!! It's good hearing from all…

Good Morning! Mama Bear! Oh Wow, doesn't it feel so good. Congratulations on your commitment. Cory, Welcome! I haven't been consistent in posting to this group, but it is always in the back of my mind and that helps when I want to grab a "bad" snack! Sweetheart, Yes, I love that we are not alone. It helps me get off my…

Good Friday Morning! What does everyone have planned for the weekend? Today was weigh in and although I gained, I was ready for it because I ate a whole bag of popcorn last night. It is something I have been wanting and it was worth it. I'm running one of my favorite 5k races tomorrow so I will allow myself extra carbs and…

Good Morning! I weigh in everyday but my "official" weigh in is Friday. So, Friday is usually mine and hubby's cheat day. BUT I still have to be careful to calculate the calories because I can easily ruin a whole week of low calorie eating in one day. It is so helpful to know we are not in this struggle alone. I am…

Good Morning! Even though I haven't been posting on MFP in a few weeks this thread is always in the back of my mind. It helps to know that other people have the same issues as I have. Like thinking I could make Christmas cookies and freeze them and not get into them! Hubby and I ran a 10k race yesterday and did really good…

Greetings! I started a post and went back a page and lost it so this one will have to be short :s Welcome VRCT1960! Sounds like you are getting some good walks in. Sweetheart, I hope your surgery goes well. You are in my prayers. Marla, Congrats on your loss. You got this! Sarah, You seem to be doing good And keeping us…

OH MARLA! CONGRATULATIONS :) Smaller sized jeans and lower BMI is awesome! I'm so excited for you! Today is my supposedly rest day, well rest day from running and we are skipping the gym workout so we can get some things done around the house. Hubby is washing the car and I am doing some painting touch ups, coloring my…

Good Morning! Welcome MamaBear! It sounds like you have a good plan in place, sounds very doable. Sarah, that bread sounds so good. My mouth is watering just thinking of it! My husband is very sensitive to savory smells, like garlic and onion so I won't be making that~ Sweetheart, sometimes when I think I've totally went…

Hello All! It sounds like this has been a winning or loosing :) week for us! Today was my weigh in and I am down 1.6 pounds from last Friday. I have to admit it was a struggle at times, but I did like you suggested Sarah and when I thought I was hungry, I waited 30 minutes and a lot of times the hunger subsided. Have you…

Happy Monday ! Welcome back Viridian! I try to imagine what it is not to feel hungry because I can always eat and have never had that "not feel hungry" problem. And not just eat, I feel hungry most of the time. (I blame my mother!!!). Anyway nuts will add calories quickly!!! Sarah, Down .8 is Terrific! I was down .4 Friday…

Good Morning All! Greg, I book marked this thread and I see I have 3 bookmarks on the side of the page. I just click on that and here I am. It did take me time to figure the system, but it is quick now. A man I worked with moved back to San Vito Lo Capo, Italy (at least that's where he ran on the Strava App). Is that…

Good Thursday Morning to All, Friday is my, and hubby's, weigh in day and he is already planning to have a big calorie fest! Steak, potato, cookies and ice cream. My plan is to see how many calories I can have and average the rest of the week using a minimum and stay under my lose 1/2 pound a week goal. W!!ish me luck!…

Good Morning Friends! Greg, I love this: Discontent is worse than five extra pounds. And yes, you are in the right thread, keep coming back! Btw, did you say where you live, sounds like you are over the ocean from the U.S.? Marla, Thanks for the reminder about the calorie "limit", not the goal, I need to hear that…

Marla! Yes! Let's make September our Best Month Yet~ But now confession time,,, hubby came home with Crumbl cookies Friday. He thinks because we weigh in on Friday that we can overeat and lose those calories before next Friday! Yes, but that is to maintain :/ And for me I believe it when they say sugar makes my body crave…

TGIF! And that is not an excuse to overeat :D Today was weigh in for me and I've lost 2.4 pounds from last week. I think I'm back to my pre trip weight but still am 7 pounds up from when I retired, October 1, 2019. I would really like to lose between 3-5 of those pounds. My meeting for questions regarding my running coach…

Good Morning MFP Fam! Daria, so sorry I misspelled your name! I went over my calorie goal by 25 yesterday, grrrrr. So I made it 5 days under 1200. I will start again today. I have an appointment set up with a personal running coach this afternoon, I hope she can answer the questions I have so I can sign up for this extra…

Happy to have you join us Darla! Keep coming back, we will be here for you! I'm 65 and been watching what I eat my entire adult life, well, off and on :* Marla, Wow, 28 days, that is awesome. Isn't it funny how if we do what we know we need to do then it works! I've made 5 days now and I have had a couple weak moments, but…

Good Morning All! I've completed day 4 of eating under my calorie goal. Today will be day 5! I am anxious to go run outside for the first time since in forever, so I don't have much time to post. I hope everyone is sticking to their plan. I know you can do it. Have a Good Day!

God's Morning! I hope everyone is doing good! I have stayed below my calorie goal of 1200 for 3 days in a row. I'm shooting for 4! I can do it! Can you? Yesterday was a rest day for exercise, today we are going back to the gym and the dreadmill! It is supposed to be a few degrees cooler tomorrow. Fingers crossed we can run…

Good Friday Morning! It's weigh in day for me. I weighed myself the day we left for our excursion even though I know I ate way to much the night before: Thursday, July 14 - 129.4 (Wed-126.4, Tues-126.4, Mon-126.8). Today is weigh in day for me: Friday, August 25 - 129.0. So, I gained a few pounds, but I am going to get…

Hello Friends! Ya'll are great encouragement for me. We have been gone for 6 weeks traveling, not all bad eating because we rented a VRBO and grilled and steamed a lot of our meals. But it seems to be impossible to stay within a calorie goal when eating out. Grilled shrimp and mixed veggies at Outback just didn't seem to…
