  • Alright I did it…weighed myself that is. And it wasn’t as bad as I’d catastrophized . Still a gain but not as bad….CW: 228.6 . Ok that’s done, I’m off to do better!!!
  • Holy cow @Alatariel75 you are rockin lots of steps!!!! That’s awesome. I’m doing good (for me) with my week so far - way better than last week. My food though….has NOT been good. I need to weigh in and I’m scared/embarrassed to because I had good intentions for this month and it’s not going well so far. Oh well. I’m not…
  • Posting my steps for this past week. Yesterday around noon my Fitbit died and I forgot it on the charger until this morning 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. Im usually over 10k on the weekends and I was pretty active yesterday afternoon. I wish I had a more active job though. M But I need to do better regardless. Goal for this week is to meet my…
  • Sending hugs & support & empathy @Alatariel75. Been there many times. I had to dig out my bigger clothes this spring that I’d put away last fall - hoping to never see them again - that was tough. And I’ve been staying in them now for months. I’m still trying though and not giving up. One day the jeans I’m wearing today are…
  • @jguldi11 @mkksemail @ashleycarole86 Great topic, I super struggle with the weather or not to eat my exercise calories. It’s a debacle! Because the days I do kickboxing I dramatically burn more calories than the days I do not. So like Ashley I’ve always tended to eat them - who wants to undereat 😉😉!? So if I didn’t, it’s…
  • Good morning, happy August. Feeling a little down this morning but know it’s probably just hormones & anxiety over waiting to hear about a job I applied for. And just guilt as I had sugar multiple times this weekend - but today is a new day. I think I’ll do the step challenge this month. Getting steps during the week is a…
  • Just curious if anyone else is getting a ton of friend requests from strange men lately? I reject them all but it’s weird. Idk if they’re finding me through this group or what. Kinda creepy! When do we start posting in August? I can’t find the page yet.
  • PW: 227.7 CW: 226.9 Week is going ok, end of the month = working overtime = messy house lol. Had a very intense workout Saturday and I think I’ve finally recovered from it, legs hurt for days. Glad to see the # go down today - want to switch my WI day to Fridays for August. Thankful for yall!
  • Wahooo for placing! 🤞for another good week. Wondering how & when we sign up for August?
  • PW : 230.2 CW: 227.7 🥳 Yay I am FINALLY in the green! So pumped. Now to keep it up…! Feeling more motivated - plus going several days in a row without sugar and feeling more energy is definitely helping. Whooo! @Gidgitgoescrzy August is going to be my month too - determined!!!! I have something in September I really want…
  • I have been doing better at staying on track the last few days ❣️ I am trying to get as much sugar as possible out of my diet and have had two good days so far - the only sugar I’ve had was via fruit and a couple clif kid bars. Didn’t work out today but did get caught up on sleep, which I needed. Have my meal plan for the…
  • 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ @lauren_989 PW was 228.4 😬
  • Welllllll…I’m sorry to be bringing down the team averages this week 😕. I promise to do better this next week and hopefully see a decent loss as I get on track! 🤞🙏 PW: 288.4 CW: 230.2 Not surprised or letting myself beat myself up but it doesn’t help anyone to not be honest. Declaring a hard restart and recommitting to…
  • Hola all, checking back in today after several days of being totally checked out…used a number of problems around the house (AC issues, plumbing issues) and personal stuff as excuses to emotional eat. I’ll confess I unfortunately had a big candy binge on Sunday afternoon - this hasn’t happened in a very long time. I threw…
  • PW: 228 CW: 228.4 😡🙁🤷‍♀️
  • Hola! Just got caught up 😁. @jguldi11 yes it was raw! I’d never had raw zucchini before either but it was surprisingly…ok. Lol. You let it marinate in olive oil a bit before eating. @Alatariel75 oof I can relate. I’ve been through some life crap myself. Hang in there and keep sharing.
  • Good for you coming back @strong_fit_ells !! And WTG on those steps!!! That’s awesome. I do hard workouts but they don’t give me that many steps and my job is super sedentary. I’m happy if I get 7000 a day 😬😬😜.
  • Omg @jguldi11 that beach looks glorious! It’s been decades since I’ve been to one. Thx for the note on the eating on high workout days. I’m still trying to figure out reasonable goals because the Fitbit #’s that MFP reads don’t always make sense. Workout today was 60 min of strength training and 30 min boxing. Feeling good…
  • Happy 4th of July!!! My gym is doing special FIT 90’s today and tomorrow so I got a 1000 calorie burn in first thing this morning. Whooo! And another to do tomorrow. Might not be as intense as today though and that’s ok. Thankful I found a pre workout that seems to work. You get a free tank for going all week so I got my…
  • @mkksemail yep I go by Steph! Our AC is on the fritz and it’s hot hot hot here in Minnesota right now. My husband is very stressed and I am stressed because he is stressed. Not great day today with food but giving self a break, just can’t let it become a habit if we’re stuck without AC for a bit. Ugh, this sucks….
  • And now this morning I weighed in 1.8 lbs down. Can I switch my WI day to Thursdays? Lol. Jk. I know I have to stop weighing everyday cuz it’s driving my crazy. At least down is the right direction.
  • PW: 228 CW: 228 🙁 I’m pissed! But I’m still up at 4:30am for my 5am workout and I’m not giving up.
  • What does it mean to be in the green?
  • @lauren_989 so many things! Tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, zucchini, broccoli, broccoli raab, peas, beans, radish, cucumbers, onions, peppers, & all the herbs!
  • Hi everyone! I’m still getting familiar with how this works but I am excited to have hopefully found a support system! I’m 38 and have struggled with weight since my teens - I’ve successfully lost significant weight a few times but always have managed to gain it back and more. I was looking this morning at my MFP progress…
  • ok thanks I’m still figuring out how to find past posts
