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…

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!

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…

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.
