Quick note I have been avoiding art openings because they are fattening, because one cookie and then i binge the whole time. But had to go to one this afternoon cuz had a sculpture in it, but luckily remembered my self-talk before i walked in"i can have something when im leaving" which placates my angry child. It worked!…

I wrote this yesterday and forgot to send it! Report Eating at least 1200 calories, Walking a lot of hills Started drs regimin that is supposed to boost my energy: Methylated Folate and B12, and DHEA 9/4/15, 190 9/12/ 15, 188.9 I still claim 188 that i last saw on aug 20. Waiting for Charlies woosh

Gayle my grocery is a kroger so i am going to buy that oatmeal on my way home. Thanks!

Gayle is oat revolution easy to find?

Pam thanks so much for the math catch! And for the link! I just reset my streak to 81. Gayle onion rings are a vegetable, even in boulder :-)

Darn my number "dyslexia"! 190 - 188.5= .5 pound, not 1.5! But it is still great to see 188. A poem!

Quick note before i run off Yesterday i ate 1200 plus some of my exercise cals And this morning lost 1.5 lbs water Amazing! So there, Paul (who says calories in, calories burned) 188.6 today! I still claim 188. Thanks so much guys!xxoxox

Fyi I googled "fat burning bedtime snack" and found a great list that includes things i cant eat earlier in the day, like oatmeal. I love idea of hot oatmeal at bedtime! Was surprised to find apple and peanut butter on the list because that is my usual bedtime snack!

600 and 365 days are very impressive! I will never get close - not because i wont stay on the program - but because every once in awhile i forget to check in before its too late. Mfp descriminates against night owls!

Wouldn't you know, after i ate yogurt i remembered i had my weekly cookie at panera, so end day with 1400 cals! Luckily i walked uphill already today, so don't have to in middle of night.

Just had dinner and only up to 871 cals. Tho not hungry, will follow advice and eat more. The suspense! :-)

Pam, forgot to say that i walk uphill as my extra activity -- immediately gets me aerobic, and i get to watch "Alfred hitchcock presents"on youtube at the same time. :-)

Thanks for clarifying advice Pam and Gayle! Will follow it! Just so weird that my metabolism slowed after only two months! Maybe its my age? I stumbled upon an mfp list of fat burning/ metabolism revving foods today, that i will eat to add the calories. Some of them i already eat - avocado, plain greek yogurt, blueberries,…

Food journal made me notice i don't eat enough vegetables ( understatement) Bought bag of raw veggies and am eating them throughout the day. Feeling virtuous.

Congratulations making your goal!!!!!

Weight: 190 Have not seen 188 again since first time, aug 20! Jeans: not looser after all; different pair! My goal Going into this next challenge is to not get plateau depression. I have a very low threshhold for plateau. This Cant be real plateau after only five pound loss, in two months, right? Im not hungry enough to…

Wow Charlie! 142! You are an inspiration!!

Pilates: doing slow motion sit ups i touched my toes for first time! That is an improvement in flexibilty of about six inches! Jeans: looser today!

Just learned this great news A kids size gelato is only 118 calories! Its great news cuz the gelato place here doesnt offer sugarless, and i wanted to join my friends.

Gayle congrats on your continuing downward direction from the plateau! Charlie congrats on the surprise whoosh! Report: Goal lose one pound a week. 8/22, 190.4 8/29, 189.4 That is only loss of water weight. My low last week was 188, but this week never saw 188 again. I still claim 188 as my real weight. This is the first…

Interesting discussion about breakfast, guys. Odd it is so idividual when we are same species. When i went off to college i never made it to breakfast (being a night owl) and never noticed the lack. When i joined the working world i tried eating breakfast - it was said to get the metabolism going -but then got hungry by…

Hope you Get well soon!

172.6 yay Gayle!!!

Gayle Thanks! But i use ipad mfp app which doesnt have "check in" like the website, but i have been recording just my lows and it does have a graph so i can enjoy gazing at that smoothly descending line. What might be confusing is that my home page says ive lost only two pounds, because i initially guessed at my weight,…

Ha! Free range pilates! I love it! :-)

You broke thru the evil plateau! That is huge!!

Right! Could also be pesky muscle gain :-)

Since you are sticking to calorie goal, logically the gain is just that cankerous water weight. I recommend my trick of claiming the lowest weight as your real weight. It really helps prevent my angry child from crying "no fair" and taking over. Your real weight is 173.8! Also Gayles fun tip - on a day you have time in the…

Thanks for the videos Gayle! Those pilates tables are hilarious overkill in my opinion. Trying to think of analogy but cant right now. With just my mat and the video a few times a week ive experienced exciting progress. E.g. Today for the first time i could do "roll like a ball" without effort, compared to not being able…

Yes i agree easier to avoid lying flat on back than go thru all that! Vertigo no fun!
