  • Hey all, I’m sorry for missing last week. I need to take a break. I would like to join back in for November please.
  • Megnolia82 weigh in October 6 213.6 I’m feeling discouraged. I’m working hard. I can feel and see a difference in my body, especially in how my clothes fit. I have lost a couple inches in the waist. But the scale creeps up.
  • Weigh in Sept 29th CW: 212.4 Just trucking away over here. I’m keeping active but I’m feeling sluggish.
  • Sunday weigh in megnolia82 CW: 211.2 Ok so I spent the week undoing the damage of last week I guess :) Had a good week. I got a little too busy and stayed up later than I wanted. I made a big realization about my sleep. Less sleep = less active during the day also = worse eating. This shouldn’t be a groundbreaking…
  • Weigh in megnolia82 Sept 15 Good morning folks! It is SO beautiful here today. Sorry im late on the weigh in this week. Had a good week, getting active every morning. SW: 228 PW: 211 CW: 212.4 Have a good one!
  • Hello slims! I have officially switched to a 4 day work week for the next 10 months and today was my first day off! I decided I need to make the most of my time so I went to the pool and swam for an hour. Based on the number of laps, I estimate I did about a mile. Tonight my shoulders are screaming in pain!! I’ll try to…
  • @morenin feel better soon! This morning I have been fighting with the treadmill - it won’t turn on! Yikes. I’ll have to get my husband to take a look at it later but I’ll be really bummed if it’s dead :( I bought it from A friend for $100 last year so I have no idea how old it is. Anyway, back on the bike! I won’t let it…
  • Sunday weigh in Sept 8 megnolia82 SW: 228 PW: 214.6 CW: 211.0 Woohoo. I’ve actually worked hard this week and eaten with moderation. Next week: to hit below 210.
  • Good morning! 6:00 hit hard this morning and I couldn’t face the treadmill…. So I cycled instead. It’s not as intense, for sure, but I figure it’s still better than laying in bed another hour. Have a fantastic day today!
  • September 1 weigh in Megnolia82 SW: 228 PW: 217.4 CW: 214.6 Moving back in the right direction at least! Had a great day yesterday with a visit to a war of 1812 Fort, then a hike down the Niagara gorge to the whirlpool a little downstream from The falls. It was 300feet down some pretty steep steps, then back up again. I…
  • Brian, welcome! It’s so nice to meet you. And wow, you’ve come so far already! That’s incredible. I know there are lots of hurdles for you but your attitude is amazing. This group of people is so supportive and fantastic. I think I’ve spent more time off the wagon than on it yet they are always cheering me on and lifting…
  • Good morning, friends! If I have learned one thing about myself it’s that my physical and mental health are all connected (I know, it’s not a groundbreaking discovery). because I’m an introvert, I find it very easy to go months without having people over. I called up a friend I’d been meaning to have over for a long time.…
  • @trooworld snazzy cane! I love the personal flair you’ve given it! I did hit the treadmill but my ankle was giving me a little pain so I dialed it back to a brisk walk and I still managed to sweat enough to embrace it lol. Have a great day!
  • Weigh in August 25 CW: 217.4 I forget my weigh in last week but it was in the neighbourhood of 210.4 I believe. I don’t know what the heck happened. Anyway, I’ll hit the treadmill and shake it off.
  • Hey guys, I did it! 1 mile today. I woke up thinking about getting to the treadmill. I bumped my speed to 3.3mph. It’s still a speed I can walk at, and I did walk a couple times - very briefly - when I thought I wasn’t going to make it. I thought about turning it off after a half mile because it seemed tougher than…
  • Hey all :) so yesterday I saw a video of a woman who decided to start running a mile a day at 40. Within 3 years she had signed up for a marathon and she looked fantastic! So I headed to my treadmill and decided I have no reason not to do that. Yesterday I ran 0.5 miles at 3mph. A tiny victory but a step in the right…
  • August 18th weigh in Megnolia82 SW: 228 CW: 212.4 I decided to start measuring my waist circumference because I read about the waist:height ratio as an indicator of health. Since my scale progress is slow and stalled I am hoping the waist measurement will motivate me a little more. My first measurement last week was 45…
  • Good morning :) Yesterday I kind of laid around in self-pity all day. My husband works 7 days a week, usually 6am until midnight. (farmer) and I sometimes get into a really low space when I dwell on him never being home. Unfortunately on those days I have two different eating modes: eating for comfort and eating for self…
  • Sunday weigh in August 11, Megnolia82 SW: 228 PW: 210.4 CW: 209.6 Hey, it’s in the right direction so I’ll take it. I had an amazing week camping. Kayaked, hiked and swam every day. I’m bummed to be back home. Wishing everyone a good week!
  • Sunday weigh in August 4 Megnolia82 210.4
  • Hi everyone! Really brief intro from me: I’m Meg, 42 year old Canadian mom of 2. I’m a teacher and my husband is a farmer and firefighter. On mfp for many years and struggling with weight for many more. I’ve had great success when I track all my food every day. My problem is momentum: something always interrupts and I get…
  • Megnolia82 weigh in July 28 (late) CW: 213 I went away this week for a few days. We ate out a couple times but I walked more than 20,000 steps a day so I feel like I got myself on a good activity streak. I’m feeling good about my activity - this morning I got up and did 10k on my bike then did some weight work. Now to keep…
  • Good morning MS team! Had a rough couple weeks with my guts. It kind of put me in a funk :( I’m feeling a bit better so I need to get myself back on track. How do you all manage to keep your eating and activity in check when you’re feeling crummy? When I feel sick I just want to lie down, have hot baths, sleep and eat crap…
  • Sunday weigh in July 21 (sorry I’m a day late!) PW: 210.8 CW: 212
  • Megnolia82 Sunday weigh in July 14th SW: 228 PW: 211.4 CW: 210.8 A better week. Even though I’m up from where I was a month ago I need to remember where I am coming from. Today I’m off to drop my daughter at another camp. This will be her second week camping this summer and trying a new place on Lake Huron. She loves…
  • Hey! Glad to see your message. I sent an add request. I’d love to message if you’re interested in that but it’s been a long time and I don’t remember how I sent the first message 😖 but if you’re interested in checking in daily I would love to chat! 42, F.
  • Hi everyone! Thursday evening here. My son (9) came home From camp on Sunday very sick so I have had a pretty low-key week. He’s got Juvenile Arthritis so his immune system really goes bonkers when he gets a virus. This just seems to be upper respiratory but it hits him 10x harder than anyone else in the house. I’ve been…
  • Megnolia82 Sunday weigh in July 7 SW: 228 PW: 209.4 CW: 211.4 As you can see I’ve been struggling the past few weeks, also clear from my absolute lack of engagement here. I’m sorry. I have to make some adjustments to my lifestyle and attitude and I need to do it now.
  • Hey everyone! Happy Canada day :) it’s also my anniversary. 18 years! Holy moly.
  • Megnolia82 weigh in June 30th SW: 228 PW: CW: 209.4 Sigh. Back to work!
