My daughter is getting married March 27th! This challenge is perfect for me!

LynnJ9 Friday Previous weight 145.5 Current weight 145.4 I am still on a low fiber diet from my diverticulosis. Not great for dieting. But this week I can start eating more fiber again.

I was just diagnosed with diverticulitis. My belly was sore and swollen. My doctor sent me to the ER. I have been here 3 days, should be released today. Not saying you have this, but don't ignore it!

@Maxematics thank you, it was very painful, and a bit scary. I almost never eat corn or popcorn, but I do eat strawberries a lot. I also had sesame seeds recently. Other than that, I feel like I eat what you all are recommending, and I rarely, if ever, am constipated. I am hoping they will send me to a nutritionist to help…

Friday check in Previous weight: 147.9 Current weight: 145.5 Loss this week: 2.4 pounds Loss to Date: 34 pounds This date is actually Wednesdays weight. Wednesday night my stomach which was hurting for a few days got progressively worse, and my doctor sent me to the ER. A catscan showed I have diverticulitis and one place…

you will NOT give up! And in a couple more days there will be a SWOOSH of weight loss, and you will smile and keep going!

When my daughter was in college, she came to me and asked to help her lose 30 pounds. She did not have the time or desire to cook. She was convinced that she was not going to be able to lose weight, but wanted to try. We set up a menu of fresh and premade meals which she followed. The menu totaled 1200 to 1300 calories per…

@raleighgirl09 Thank you! My goal is 1.5 pounds a week so I was pleased! MFP stopped posting my weight losses 2 years ago. I was upset at first, but like you, I realized it really didn't matter. Once in awhile I will post my loss myself so my friends can see my progress. Congratulations on hitting that milestone! I love…

Go to bed without snacking

Someone has to be a very sad, hurt or angry inside to want to hurl mean comments at someone else just to hurt them. A person who is happy with themselves and filled with joy spread out around. It doesn't stop it from hurting, but it does help to know it wasn't about you at all, just their need to be hateful to salve their…

This is fake news. There is no conservation/ starvation mode. It is science. You eat calories in, and when you live, breath, move and exercise you burn calories out. Burn more than you eat you lose. Eat more than you burn you gain. Conservation mode is like saying when you don't put much gas in your car's tank, it will…

Hello! Weigh in day: Friday Previous Weight: 149.7 pounds Current Weight: 147.9 pounds Lost: 1.8 pounds this week Total Lost to Date: 31.6 pounds

So eating right now!

Wednesday check in: Not sure how often we are supposed to check in, but I figure every couple of days works for me. Monday I hit 4 of my 5 habit goals. Did not hit my quiet reflection goal. I did not feel well at all. However, I did stay within my calorie goal of 1200 - 1300, I walked over 12,000 steps, drank over 120…

When I first started losing weight I was on Medifast (same company). It worked for me to help me structure my eating. The green lean meals taught me portion control. I still think the bars have great macros and a great 100 calorie choice.

Scottsdale Arizona: I joined a gym last month at 11 am. At 3 pm the same day, our Governor shut all gyms down for 30 days and has since extended the closure. My gym owner refused to close, and sued to stay open. I went every day and was so impressed with the care they took to be safe. The followed all the steps they were…

Hi! My husband's family is from Danville KY. I will be here to support you! You can do it!

Good Morning; I am so excited to be part of this group and this challenge. I have 19 pounds to lose from the COVID lockdown. I so appreciate all of your warm welcome. @Katmary71 I do think we have been friends in the past... Excited to be back. :) My day for weigh-in is Fridays, and I plan to be a great asset to this team.…

I have the same breakfast energy day while I am dieting. 100 calorie packet of oatmeal, blueberries and 2 egg white. 185 calories

Wow, please don't listen to this advice. Your husband didn't realize you had accomplished a personal goal. Tell him! And then tell him what your next personsl goal is, then tell him when you reach that one. Just because he didn't know about, doesn't mean he won't be proud of you when he knows. In the same way you may not…

Love this! You can do it!

Thanks for all the great ideas on recipe sources

Username: LynnJ9 Weigh In Day: Friday PW (Previous Weight): CW (Current Weight): 149.7 LTD (Loss to Date): ? The Loss to Date: is this for just August, or since starting dieting? Ready to commit this month to lose some of these extra pounds! Excited to be part of this group and this team!

I have been VERY successful just counting calories here in MFP. Lost 47 pounds over 2 years ago. (Did gain 19 pounds back during the covid shutdown, but back to counting calories to lose it again). I am a math teacher and the numbers of CICO is right up my alley. But I really need some new recipes that are low calorie and…

Hi: So today is my weigh in day. I am not sure if I am supposed to post my starting weight here or in the August thread. So, I thought I would put it in both! Username: LynnJ9 Weigh In Day: Friday PW (Previous Weight): CW (Current Weight): 149.7 LTD (Loss to Date): ? The Loss to Date: is this for just August, or since…

I gained the Covid-19 pounds. I am a teacher and went from walking around my classroom and campus all day to sitting in front of my computer with my pantry and refrigerator. I am committed to losing it again starting now!

Hello, my name is Janine. I am 58 and a high school math teacher, wife and mother of 3 grown children. 3 years ago I started losing weight for what I planned was the FINAL time. I lost 47 pounds, and though I fluctuated up and back down by about 10 pounds I stayed within that range for 2 years. Then the stay-at-home…
