@AmyG1982 Thanks for the awesome welcome Amy along with all your hard work and support! I almost considered not coming back for Jan since I am doing quite a few challenges and I don’t want to over extend myself in case I miss a post or weigh in. But I think the accountability is great along with the ability to optionally…

Happy New Year!

Username: SoMum Week: Saturday weigh in day PW = 211 lb CW = 211.6 lb Back from traveling sadly with the stomach flu so the indulges could have been worse on the scale. Hoping a new fresh start in Jan when schedule is back on track. But this also means more stress since I will be starting the spring semester of grad…

Username: SoMum Week: Saturday weigh in day PW = 213 lb CW = 211 lb I apologize I missed last Saturday posting as we are traveling for our winter trip so coverage is spotty in the mountains. Definitely need a plan when traveling but overall I stayed on track with pen and paper along with mindfullness and letting go the…

@Minion_training_program my pleasure 👍💆‍♀️🤗🙏🙌😇 thanks for caring as we are in this together!

@Minion_training_program Thanks for your post and your question/comments. I have a coach and dietitian supporting me but also my physicians and family😊 To answer your question- I practice mindfulness in eating and movement. What this means for me is not obsessing over calories or measuring MFP I use just as an awareness…

Daily Post: Sunday (Dec 08) Tracked: Yes/ on paper app not working ☹️ Calories (goal 1200): at goal Activity: cycling, walking, chores Daily Water (big picture goal 16 8 oz for 1 gallon): 10 8 oz Thoughts: still getting over flu so activity/steps lower than norm but I’m thinking long term not just daily so REST and don’t…

@midsummer174627 I say the same thing because I love ice cream and have tried to eat the “ice cream” knock offs and yep when it doesn’t melt umm yes that’s not ice cream plus it doesn’t taste that great to me. So if I will have ice cream it will be an experience of really good ice cream and I eat it mindfully. For example…

@polskagirl01 oh wow I didn’t know that was an option lol which is why I don’t post so much since I travel for work and typically only use the app which for this group and the fast threads is like 😯 yet I love reading the posts and try to comment and like/love as much as possible.

@Jwall309 and @midsummer174627 Thank you so much for the awesome wisdom and info shared. Yep I’m definitely going to continue to weigh first thing in the morning after a bio break. I think because I have to quickly get my daughter up and ready for school since I drive her I need to build in more time for a longer bio break…

@AmyG1982 Count me in! I recently started my own water drinking challenge on Turkey Day to counteract the salt and well yes that didn’t go so well for the scale lol but since I have lost 😉 so I’m continuing my gallon a day challenge( I get close to the whole gallon which is night and day away from where I was not long ago…

@CrystalEssex great work on your weight loss over the holidays. I unfortunately forgot the cardinal rules of the scale- don’t consume tons of water before a weigh in as I was hoping to flush my system and well yes water weight is real lol. Hopefully this Saturday my scale will place nice and reflect all the mindful eating…

I definitely understand about the navigational piece as finding communities umm yes while not so easy definitely worth the hunt lol. Congrats on your new baby! I…

Username: SoMum Week: November Week 4 final week Weigh in day: Saturday PW = 215 CW = 217.6 😶 Certainly it’s been an interesting month of ups and downs with the busyness of the season, completing the half marathon, changes with my work schedule and even the flu. Nonetheless, I overcame and appreciate so much our team!…

Daily Post: Thursday Happy Thanksgiving! Tracked: Yes- even though hubby thought I was crazy to track Maggiano’s calories lol. It’s good to be aware and plus knowledge is power. Besides I didn’t let the calorie count get to me as I still enjoyed myself not overeating but savoring each bite and even had the deadly chocolate…
