Today is going to be a struggle. I'm feeling a massive hormonal sugar craving. I had to use all my willpower to drive past dunkin donuts for the iced coffee, and take myself past all the starbucks iced coffees in walgreens when i had to stop this morning. I'm have a small bag of trail mix with chocolate covered coffee…

Hello everyone, checking in. I've lost 6 pounds since march, which is on track for taking it slow. I've stopped doing my fitness journaling, and i feel like i'm slipping like crazy, so i'll pick that back up this week. It was just so tiring to make each page, so i think i need to scale it back in terms of crafty-ness. I'm…

@goinstd12 I have a jawbone Up Move. it's not waterproof and doesn't do heart rate monitoring, but it is good for steps, and i payed $30 on Amazon, and another $5 for the wristband attachment. It has a watch feature, it tracks sleep and food, syncs with MFP. I don't like the food tracking, it's a weird part of the app but…

So i just checked in, lost 1.6lbs. My loss is not showing up on my profile, it still says 0 pounds lost instead of my 4.6 overall. Do i have to lose a larger amount to make it show pounds lost? I've kind of "fallen off the wagon" the past few weeks, so I'm glad in still losing and not gaining. I have my settings to. 5lb a…

I haven't checked in a while, mostly because ive been recouping from the neck/shoulder strain. I think it's finally on its way out. Haven't been sleeping soundly, even with the muscle relaxer. Just so much stress this weekend. My niece got into a car accident and has been back and forth to the hospital. She wasn't wearing…

So I've been dealing with some shoulder and neck pain for the past couple of days with stiffness and a hard time moving my head side to side. Doc says it's a sprain and i'm using weights that are too heavy. I started with 3lbs because it seemed ok? So she said to start with 1lb after this goes away. heat,…

Monday Check in - @kah68 & @skinnyjeanzbound I think i managed it! I feel a dull ache for part of the day, but I think it was just being tired. I took a nap, and was ready to go to a friend's bonfire. I Loaded up on healthy snacks from the store over weekend: Dried fruits, veggie chips, nuts, and protein bars for workout…

Checking in today. Morning Jazzercise class. I noticed a headache/head pain halfway through, so i stopped, took a breather, dialed things back for the rest of class. I had 2 pieces of mutigrain 80 cal bread with PB and strawberry jelly for breakfast about an hour before, with a glass of milk and a glass of water. I had a…

@Sgt_Pepper33 i made a list of non food rewards for myself and keep it in my fitness journal. They include going to the movies (watching the snacks), new workout gear in different price ranges, getting a manicure, buying a new book, etc. All price ranges available, and Its there so when i meet a goal, i can choose an…

@skinnyjeanzbound I don't have one. my jawbone up move doesn't do that. I will look into getting one, since I'm not ready to upgrade to a new tracker. Thanks for the advice!

@kah68 Thank you for the advice! Maybe I wasn't eating enough. I had a small bowl of life cereal, some almonds and a few baby carrots. It was a morning class, i was worried about eating before hand (before my first class i had a slice of leftover pizza - OOPS). My friend gave me a Nuun tablet to try, but i put it in a 24…

Checking in. It was nice to have a warm welcome, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only newbie joining up. I did join Jazzercise on Sunday. It was my 2nd class (first is free) and it really kicked my butt. I felt kind of self conscious leaving the gym because the lady behind the counter commented on how red my face was. I…

Hello Everyone. My name is Heather. I work in the HR dept of a local Grocery chain (desk job). I've always been heavy, but starting this job almost 2 years ago has lead to a gain of 30+ pounds. I've started and stopped, tried and failed to lose weight so many times. But I have been food logging for about a month now. I got…
