That sounds tough @juliemouse83, I hope you’re able to get a bit of time for yourself in all that. I’ve managed all three goals today, with a nice cycle home from work in the evening sunshine.

Good morning everyone! I’m still here. JFT (Wednesday) I’m going to log everything and stay within calories. I also really like your idea of setting a lights out time @Kuhl50 - even if it doesn’t happen, it’s sometimes good to aim for something. I’ve definitely eaten worse on the recent days I’ve been overtired. So tough…

It doesn’t always feel like I’m moving forward, but I’m still showing up each day and checking in. I’ve logged everything, it’s within my calories, and I managed some exercise (an hour’s walk). It’s good to see the days stacking up.

Thank you @RangerRickL - it’s good to be on the team. And sounds like you’re doing great @Dory_42, how amazing to have given a kidney and be looking after yourself too. Yes/yes/yes for goals today, despite feeling really tired and not up to much. I took myself out for an hour’s walk and feel better for it. Checking in…

I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling this disappointed, but I think you deserve so much credit for facing up to this and doing something about it. Our numbers are really similar - I got down to 140, felt loads better and then let it creep back up to 174ish over a few years, while trying to avoid the scales. But it went on a…

Thanks @BMcC9, I think I get what you mean - I'm sort of that stage of just monitoring the trend and I'll adjust if I need to. My main question is what to set my normal activity level as - it really varies as some days I have a good walk/cycle to work, and other days (at the moment) I don't. I've never thought of a normal…

Thanks @HEGoddard0928 . That's a good point - I've got into a really set routine of eating a lot of the same foods and doing the same daily walks, it's not very inspiring any more. Tomorrow is a new week, I'll see what I can to mix things up. Even if the scale doesn't shift, I might have a more interesting week. And I'm so…

Great attitude! Good luck.

Great photo @lexabeep - I'm sure that'll be a good reminder of what was going on at the time! Three yesses for me - I had a really nice (but wet) walk with a friend (and cycled there/back). We'd both thought about cancelling when we saw the weather, but were glad we did it anyway. I still haven't quite worked out my right…

I’m a bit disappointed that my weight seems a bit stuck, but I’m going to keep on with what I’m doing for another week to get a better idea. I wasn’t going to post, but then I thought that’s stupid. So here I go again - just for today (Sunday), I’m going to log everything and stay in the green. Also aiming to get outside…

Yesx3 for me - a sunny cycle ride today. @ajdvegan - that view is amazing! What a gorgeous photo. I’d definitely call that a good day.

Hi everyone! There are so many things I want to get done this weekend and the sun is shining, yay! But I’m still sticking to simple goals JFT: get outside, log everything, stay in the green. I managed yesterday and still plodding on, one day at a time.

Yes/yes/yes. Exercise was a brisk hour long walk with a friend. Feeling hungry now, but just going to go to bed instead of going over on my calories. What a glamorous Friday night!

Hi Carl (and everyone else)! I've been vegetarian for 30ish years and have been trying to move towards a more vegan diet for a while. I'd love some inspiration and support.

Yesterday’s goals - log everything/stay in the green - yes! Today, same again... Good work @merope2 for not stress eating. I’ve come close a couple of times recently but managed not to because I knew I’d have to log it. Taking it one day at a time seems to really help me.

Amazing work! I’m so impressed at your dedication.

Yes x 3. A cycle ride earlier (to work) and now I'm heading out for an evening walk with a friend.

I’m still here, and feeling committed but I’d like to get more into the habit of setting/meeting goals. Right now I’m still keeping it simple. JFT: log everything & stay under goal. Don’t eat back all of exercise calories.

3x yes today, fitted in an extra walk this evening. I could do with adding 8 hours sleep to my targets, good work @ajdvegan. And yes, very impressive achievements, especially @alligatorob, that must feel amazing.

Yes x three - a nice long walk with a friend, and calories (just) under goal. I am really appreciating this reminder to make myself get outside for some exercise each day, I always feel better for it. I really feel for all the people struggling out there right now. I'm having good days and bad days but trying to take it…

Yes, yes, yes - a couple of good length walks today which I wouldn't have done if I hadn't been using MFP. I think my main victory this month (so far) is that I feel I'm getting to grips with logging all my food. I've managed 12 days straight (all under goal), which is new for me.

Oh that sounds such a tough day, but please don’t beat yourself up about it. Your motivation to change is great, hang on in there.

Yes to all three - a couple of 45min cycle rides (out to see my parents and back!). Happy birthday @Bill70sStrong - I like your style! That's a wonderful quote @MadisonMolly2017 , thank you.

Hi everyone, I hope you've all had good weekends. I managed my goals of getting out for a walk in the morning and logging all my calories. I stayed in the green (just) but had to go out for a short extra walk last night to manage it! Still working out whether to eat back my exercise calories, at the moment I feel like I…

I did it, three yesses, including a couple of long walks. And I even went for an extra (very) short walk because I needed the calories!

@ZizzyBumble I just saw your post, so sorry for what you’re going through.

Hi everyone, this board moves so quickly, but I love reading about what everyone's up to and all the goals they're setting. I'm now a week in and I've managed to log my calories daily (and stay in the green) which I'm really happy about. I'd set my activity level as active and now I'm not really sure about that, so I'm…

Haha, walking is definitely a favourite activity of mine, but it's just me, no dog. Today I cycled though! And logged everything, under goal, so three yesses.

@PotatoHead_ I'm an idiot, I've just seen the group - under 'Groups', d'oh....

Hi all, there's so much I can relate to in all this. @PotatoHead_ thank you so much for organising, I'm happy to move to a group - I can't see an invitation though, but maybe I don't know where to look. I think I'm still going to weigh daily for the moment, I think I just kind of need the routine, but I'm happy to have an…
