Week 5 Weigh-in! Friday PW: 253.1 CW: 251.5 I did indeed get my Dad's cold. I'm feeling better now, but have been pretty out of it the last few days. Lots of hot tea, kimchi noodle soup, and seitan wraps. Hopefully, I'll shake off the last of it this weekend and be ready to get moving again for November :) I hope everyone…

So far the week has been okay. Yesterday was a bit bleh, since I waited WAY too long to eat and overate on some less-than-ideal foods. My dad is finally over his cold, but now I feel a little under the weather, which is both expected and kinda sucky. Even so, I woke up this morning, took my dogs for a long walk, made up…

Alrighty! Turned out the internet issue was actually an issue with my laptop-- my dad dropped it and broke something. I have a new laptop now and should be able to check in more often ^_^ Week 4 Weigh-in Sunday PW: 254.7 CW: 253.1 It's been a pretty hectic week. I had a few art exhibitions I submitted work to and the rush…

Good morning! I'm sorry for the late weigh-in, there's been a bunch of construction in my neighborhood and it's been messing with the internet. Week 3 Weigh-in! Sunday PW: 252.5 CW: 254.7 I'm not surprised to see the scale go up this week. There's been a lot of food at work and a lot of life stuff going on. I'll try to do…

Week 2 Weigh-in! Friday SW: 257.2 PW: 254.7 CW: 252.5 I'm a little surprised that the scale moved as much as it did this week, to be honest. I've been hitting about 400 calories above my goal fairly consistently this week, though I have been much more active (hit 10k steps for the first time in forever woot woot!) and most…
-
I had a pretty good meal prep day today! I made some homemade spring rolls, which was fun, and a bunch of other healthy meals :) After a less-than-ideal weekend (where I stayed below maintenance...barely ^_^;) it felt nice to have a bit of a reset. I still have some calories saved up for some game snacks, so my dad and I…

@jessicakrall8 Hope you get feeling better soon! Be sure to stay hydrated, if you can!

Friday was a SO busy but I am now the proud owner of a nose piercing :) It was surprisingly fun to have some friends along for the piercing appointment. I did decide to order some pizza and cinnamon sticks to celebrate after, but the driver got lost, dropped my pizza, burnt my sticks, and took over an hour to get there, by…

Week 1 Weigh-in! Friday SW: 257.2 lbs CW: 254.7 lbs I'm pretty happy with my first official weigh-in. There were a few days where I felt pretty hungry, but overall, I think I did a great job managing my diet and adding movement :) Right now, my main challenge is identifying when my hunger is actual hunger and when it's…

So far, the week has been hectic, but good. I had the energy to cook on Sunday, but cooked the wrong stuff lol Lots of cake and bread (I watched Bake Off and got ~inspired~), but not enough actual food. I'm making some quick chili and a dump casserole today, so that will help. I did discover that parking in the far parking…

@PatriceFitnessPal Thank you. It's definitely been an adjustment, but I'm getting there :) Also, it's awesome to hear about what you're doing for work-- that kind of thing is dearly needed and I wish you luck on learning the business management side of things! The dollhouse miniatures have been so much fun! ^_^ I've…

Hi everyone! My name is Sara (or Len, either one), aged 33, and I'm new to the group. I joined MFP several years ago and lost 40 lbs. Though I was able to keep that weight off, I got derailed from my weight loss attempts after having shingles, which resulted in PHN (post-herpetic neuralgia)-- a permanent condition which…
-
Thank you so much @Pupowl! I'll hopefully have the scale trending the other way by then lol On the bright side, doing the weigh-in gave me the motivation to take my dogs for a nice long walk before the rain starts. ^_^
-
Good morning! Weigh-in PW: 253.9 lbs CW: 257.2 lbs I wasn't surprised to see the scale go up since it's been a few weeks since my last weigh-in. But, even with the gain, I'm still excited about what I want my tracked goals to be for next month and am actually feeling pretty good about the food choices I made this week…
-
I'm sure I will ^_^ I'm not sure whether to do a 'proper' introduction now or wait until the October thread, so I figured cat admiration was a safe bet in the meantime lol
-
Good morning and thank you all so much for the greetings! ^_^ I'm thrilled to be here. @Pupowl Both Tinus and the boots are so cute!
-
The group looks like a lot of fun! I could really use some extra accountability and support. MFP Username: Len Gray Weigh-in Day: Friday CW: 254 SW: 280 Preferred Team: I love the name Shape Shifters, so probably that one!
-
My current mini goal is to eat all of the produce that I have prepped in my fridge :) I'm trying to get in the habit of washing, chopping, and preparing things as I go so that we can just throw together healthy meals when I need them throughout the week, especially since my dad and I are both on different diets.
-
Coffee with soy milk, tofu scramble, and vegan biscuits with tempeh sausage gravy. It was delicious! ^_^ I might also have some blueberries here in a little bit.
-
Ann has some great suggestions! I eat about 500 calories per meal as a vegan, so I'll recommend what I think will be easy to scale down. I'd also like to suggest chickpea salad. I personally like this one on an everything bagel with spinach, tomato, cucumber, and vegan cheese. I'm also a huge fan of crumbled tempeh in…

I'm switching over to Sunday weigh-ins for a bit! Goal: 200 lbs SW: 279 LW: 255.5 CW: 255.0 Bumped back down from my gain on Monday. I'm a little sad that I'm ending January with such a small loss for the month, but I'm reminding myself that it is a loss and I have some lovely new healthy habits to take away from this…

Goal: 200 lbs SW: 279 LW: 253.0 CW: 252.4 I was really pleased to see the scale go down this week. I think that using a pen and paper journal for this process is really helping me to stay accountable and focused on my goals :)
-
My NSV this weekend is that I got back on track. Friday was rough due to some emotional upheavals (nothing major, but they definitely felt major) and being on my period. I ended up eating over maintenance for the first time in a month. But, even with that setback, I reflected about how I felt in the moment and after,…

I've been using a physical, bullet journal-style one for weight loss this time around. It's an overlarge spiral-bound notebook with monthly dividers and very simple spreads. I'm slowly getting fancier (yesterday I added a colorful folded envelope that says 'Break in Case of Starvation' that has easy, 10-minute or less…
-
I made two open-faced sandwiches with homemade vegan sausage and red pepper hummus. It was really tasty ^_^
-
Aww, it's awesome to hear that everyone's making their own lists! My NSV today was that when I made a frozen pizza for dinner, I only ate half of it. I was really hungry, but I took the time to see what fit in my calorie budget, logged that, and only grabbed the logged pieces. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I felt…
-
I have a few different hobbies. How often I do them depends on the time I have and the mood I'm in. I discovered pretty much all of them from seeking out new experiences, being curious enough to experiment with new things, and seeing what I thought of them. A new hobby that I've found is making dollhouse miniatures. I got…
-
I'm not sure if this counts, but I'm now tracking my NSV's. I have a fitness bullet journal (which has been weirdly motivating) and it occurred to me that, since I'm about to head back to work, I might start forgetting all of the amazing progress I've been making each month. So, I'm setting up a NSV tracker. That way, at…

Right now I'm trying to avoid takeout so some quick rescue meals are: Ramen with tofu/edamame and veggies Instant mac n' cheese with frozen broccoli Snack plate with sliced apples, crispy tofu or sausage, hummus, and veggies Sandwich with fruit Peanut butter and banana toast (add hemp seeds for more protein!) A smoothie or…

Goal: 200 lbs SW: 279 LW: 256.1 CW: 253.0 I am now officially over 25 lbs down! I've decided that my reward will be renting a movie, though I'm not sure which one yet :)
