Hi, everyone. I figured I should check in to keep myself accountable. We had friends over all day/night on Sunday, and so I didn't stick within my calorie range, but I was grateful that I managed to get some time in on the stationary bike while they were here, because it was better than nothing! I'm having some work…

Glad to hear that. I haven't figured out the best way to calibrate it yet, but I'm hoping it works well for me, as I know the pedometer I've had in my pocket for the past several years is on its last legs, and it only tracks so much.

My parents headed home today. I went into work yesterday for a shortened day, and I noticed I drank more water than I think I had while they were here. My scale was down a pound today from yesterday, so I guess adding back more water helped. I'm planning on working a lot this weekend, which doesn't excite me, but I need to…

I'm not going to say anything negative about Nutrisystem other than I tried it and didn't like the taste. Of course, that was years ago. Does it taste decent now? I really like convenience foods and am always willing to consider healthier options. When I'm not losing weight, I do sometimes lose motivation. Recently, I went…

I just got my UP2 last week. I think it may not be tracking my steps correctly, and what it lists as calorie adjustments on MFP definitely seems WAY off. I've actually gained weight since I've started using it, due to eating out more with my parents in town, but according to the calorie estimates, I should still be losing…

I'm a Metformin user here. I will be seeing a reproductive endocrinologist in a few weeks. I'm not sure that Metformin is doing much to help me. I started it back in 2010 when I started really getting serious about exercising and tracking my calories. With those two things combined, my cycles still weren't normalized. I…

Okay, now that I've caught up on what I missed the past several days, I figure I should check in. My parents are in town, and I have gained like 3 pounds since they arrived. Yikes! My husband and I did our workout on Saturday before they arrived, but we didn't do another one until yesterday. I got a UP2 fitness tracker on…

I'm new to the forum as well, and I'm always looking for support. I'm here if you ever want to chat. I know the feeling of having so much weight to lose. Sometimes I wonder how the heck I got here, and then I remind myself I have been an emotional eater who has binged frequently. I'm starting out with a goal of 10% of my…

Pretty much a summary of my feelings about it too. The only thing positive I had to say about it was that I got more fruit and veggies into my diet during that time.

Thanks for the add. I am looking for friends here to help me stay accountable (and be around like-minded folks when it comes to goals), so it's nice to meet you!

Sometimes I wish I could limit my chocolate to two portions a week. But then I think I don't want to feel so deprived that I binge on it eventually, so I'm okay incorporating it into my daily plan. It is a rare day I don't have any. Sorry you've been feeling sick. Hope you feel better soon! Honestly, I am not sold on the…

Congratulations!

I have yet to do it this time around, but when I was trying to lose some weight before getting pregnant about 5 years ago, I set up rewards for reaching my smaller goals. One of them was for a book. One was for a CD. As I got closer to my larger goal, the rewards got a bit more pricey, but I ended up getting pregnant after…

@skinnyjeanzbound Thanks! Getting the hubby on board has really been a great blessing. I wanted to go for a short walk in the neighborhood tonight with the 4-year-old after getting home from my long day, but because of him, we ended up doing the walk and a workout. @RobinsEgg I definitely was not a huge fan of the colored…
-
@RobinsEgg thanks for the welcome! I told my husband the thing that would help me the most is if he did it with me, and he agreed to. When I have tried doing it on my own in the past, whenever he would bring home sweets or whatever, it would make it so much harder for me. To know we have the same goals (even though I have…

I lost 10% of my body weight before getting pregnant the first time around after a long time of no success. I have been trying again with no success, and I think losing at least 10% of my body weight will help. I am happy to find some like-minded individuals.

I'm in and have sent you a friend request!
-
I'm not at that point, but as I progress, I'm sure I'll be hearing some well-meaning comments (and some made from envy) myself. My plan is to say something like, "Thank you for your concern, but I am healthy and feeling great! My doctor also thinks I'm doing a fantastic job with making healthy choices. So please don't…

I think this may be my first discussion post on MFP. I have been using MFP off and on for some time, having previously used a different platform to track my nutrition and get community support. The thing I preferred about that previously-used platform to this one was the support. But I realized, there is community support…
