We had fried rice last night (Wednesday).

No Hills but I did over 10k steps.

I had green beans last night. Don't know what's on the dinner menu tonight as my husband makes it. Did just eat a fiber brownie. Don't know if that's insoluble or not.

Getting my formals zipped all the way up! But otherwise, seeing that general downward trend when I looked at my weight report, at at least 3 months out (90 day view, 180 is even better). It lets me see past the ups and downs and see the progress. Reaching my goal was a success. Then deciding on my maintenance plan and…

Done!

It's actually cold out here in northern Missouri. Don't feel like going out there really but may.

Hmmm... something to consider when I get home.

Yep, I gave some size 6 shorts to my daughter, figuring it was unrealistic to think I'd wear them again. Now I'm back to size 6 and can't fit in size 10s anymore. I'm not sure if she'll give them back.

I might just manage this one.

I think you have to hit your "bottom." Ten years ago it was standing on the scale and being 140 pounds. (I'm 5'1" and I was 110 naturally without effort while in living in the Czech Republic.) I set my goal to lose 30 and did. But that was a constant diet in Missouri. So after 10 years, I had gained it back, and more. So…

I've been reading In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson.

I have a new keyboard. Maybe had it less than a month. Still, I shook it and found some crumbs.

My husband cooks dinner and our dinners are planned when we shop on the weekends. So we might have fish tonight. We might have frozen pizza. I think we have a couple options still.

Couldn't do that. I wouldn't have been able to have breakfast.

I've lost an average 2-year-old child and a guinea pig! Cool! I'm not into babies. Glad I'm not carrying around a toddler anymore. The guinea pig needs to watch out. I've got 4 cats in the house. (BTW: I adopted my children at 8 and 9.)

I've got a after after pic now.

Repair folks should be out today. Hopefully it's an easy and affordable fix. Dryer is about 12 years old.

Our dryer needs fixing. Been without it for a week and a half.

I'm getting behind in logging but not because of maintenance or fatigue. I'm writing a story. And that's my drug and I don't want to do anything else. I have to make myself get up and do my walks. Or make myself catch up on that TV show I love that I've been neglecting. I'm really putting a lot of things off to write this…

I noticed yesterday how easy it was to stand up and walk. Just effortless. Before it just seemed a bother. It didn't hurt or anything but it took effort.

I haven't panicked about fluctuations even when I was losing. I learned that last time around. It's not a straight line down. Hormones, etc., will cause fluctuations, especially in us women. Sometimes they're drastic. Other times not. When I was losing, I'd look at the 9 month or 1 year graph. Let's you see the long view,…

Can't do cleaning today. Work goes to 6:30 then there are teacher/parent meetings. I might clean up some email though. Changing over to Google Fiber in 2 weeks so I've got to change accounts to new email addresses. It's a huge undertaking really. I've been on kc.rr.com accounts for YEARS. I think MFP is presently on a…

I'm 122 today and liking it better than 125. I'm rather enjoying this.

When we have to do fast food (yeah, sometimes we do because we're on the road), I insist on Taco Bell. Relatively simple ingredients, lower calories, and yummy taste (Dorito Loco Nacho Taco for me) and fairly low cost. Not great but not as bad as some. I definitely stay away from Burger King. I once looked at their…

Keeping up my walk breaks at work. Got a fun playlist to walk to with my favorite 4mph song. Done 6 of the 8 songs already.

I'm 43 and 5'1.5". I lost 23 pounds in 6 months at 1500 calories/day. I don't eat all healthy food but I don't eat a lot of junk either. A mix. When I eat junk, I limit the serving. Like exactly 9 tortilla chips with the nacho cheese. Or just 5 or 10 Reese's pieces. Or a fun size candy bar. But the other side of it, and…

Female 5'1.5" SW 147.4 GW 125, reached 10/13 CW 124.8 At this time, I want my range to be 120-125. I may edit that lower someday but for now I'll try 120-125.

My winter coat was a bit too small. I couldn't get the belt around me. Looking forward to cold day now to know if it fits better!

My turn. For the 2nd time in my life, I hit a weight that shocked me into weight loss. I was too close to 150 at 147.5. That's what did it this time. So I looked back at what was successful last time and tried to tweak it to be more successful after the weight loss this time. Because in the 10 years between that one and…
