wow @jguldi11 that post on types of therapy is what the MFP "Insightful" post reaction was made for. I have to google half the things you listed. I will weigh in tomorrow and I know it won't be good. Bingeing has been bad the last 2 weeks. ugh. But, not really addressing that this weekend as I leave for Miami tomorrow…

quick check in. had a great dance cardio session tonight. Tired now, which hopefully means I can wind down for bed with my book, and drift off before 11pm, which is always the goal, but rarely met. @ashleycarole86 I am in the exact same boat. I saw a behavioral therapist for 2.5 years, who was great and helped me work…

accidentally clicked something and away went my whole post ugh. @YinxFed ditto on well wishes for the hubby!! Still recovering from my cold but feeling better. Got out on the river yesterday and it felt glorious. Got too much sun on my legs, but NSV - just wearing bike shorts at all! I was so sick of wearing leggings all…

Friday Weigh In PW: 256.7 CW: 260.6 blehhh. I finally turned a corner with this germ yesterday, got 2 good nights of sleep, but still pretty congested overall, and got my time of the month today. Ate like total crap yesterday, but a late evening energy boost saw me doing 2 loads of laundry (lots of steps since the laundry…

@lauren_989 oh and I forgot, I was on the support team for June, but I'll be back to regular WIs this month - just not this week, because I'll be out of town for the US holiday starting Wed. Can we make my starting weight for the month 256.7 lbs? (blehhh). thank you!! @stephanodda welcome! "in the green" means a loss from…

Hello hello - Catching up on the end of last month's chat - @micki48 that garden/park you found to walk in is AWESOME!! I am such a sucker for a water feature. Really hope my future home has a dramatic water fountain like that 😂 I'm Kay, 30, single, no pets, living in Brookline MA (right near Boston), working in finance,…

omg @MaddawgMadsen awesome pics!!!! I'm the same way, I can even be feeling okay about myself in the mirror and then I see a picture of myself - esp in a group - and I'm like, oh god what is that angle?? where did THAT roll come from?? the inner critic is a tough one @Gidgitgoescrzy wow, wow, wow - the counters are…

@Alatariel75 you're not letting the team down!! never the case. I have also never been a gym workout person. I used to use a completely free workout video app called "FitOn" that I still recommend, especially if you are in a rut. They have so many types of workouts, and a lot of the videos are very short (they don't…

@lauren_989 back in one-derland! way to go Insurance update: I got (most) of my money reimbursed today, so that's settled. phew. Just finished dance cardio with the gals, my kitchen is clean, and I'm ready for a shower and bed. I have a pretty early meeting tomorrow so I have to be on time with bed. I have Thursday off…
-
I am fired up after finishing my (crazy) lower body workout and getting an email from my insurance company - I am STILL chasing them to reimburse me for the rental car I needed after I got in a hit & run on new year's day! Some of you may recall the story. They've had my receipt for 4 months, and after a much sterner-toned…

@MaddawgMadsen you are an inspiration in the workplace!! Advocating for yourself is so hard for a lot of people (me!!), so glad it looks like it will pay off for you soon. @mkksemail girl these new england weekends have been SUCH a bummer! Looks gross out today but I am heading to the river to kayak regardless! Once I'm…

@YinxFed I wish you could have seen how my face lit up at that carved bench!! gorgeous area, I am pea green. @micki48 happy belated!! I have a challenge this week as well, our quarterly office event is on wednesday. It is actually at an indoor pickleball place, but with food and a bar. I don't really do hand-eye…
-
@mkksemail yes, on the support team this month but should be back to regular weigh ins for the July rounds! I use the Marley Spoon meal kit (Martha Stewart's brand), and it is very new to me - I am preparing for my 2nd-ever box right now as I write out my meals for the week. :) Finally some sunshine here today! Yesterday,…
-
@jguldi11 I was on the same wavelength as you last night - it was pizza night but I had the second half of a delicioussss salad from my meal kit. It was a spinach base, grilled peaches, chopped almonds, sliced shallot, dried cherries, and an apple cider vinaigrette. I probably still had too much pizza but I feel good…
-
Writing a post so I can stall beginning my tabata workout. One of my least favorite protocols and this devil trainer put plank jacks in this one. Evil. @mkksemail welcome MK! @energyseeker Wisconsin campgrounds sounds like my dream vacation right now, jealous! @Alatariel75 gorg pic, wow!
-
@energyseeker napping to the sound of rain is unbeatable @micki48 you would be less impressed with my workouts if you saw me do them hahahaha @YinxFed how close do you live to said forest for walking? probably one of my major life goals is to live in or adjacent to a forested area had a pretty good day for eating and…
-
quick check-in! onto week 3 of my workout challenge and it was a doozy today for lower body glutes & hamstring-focused dropsets. Please send thoughts and prayers for my quads tomorrow morning. I don't know if I mentioned but I am finally trying a meal kit for dinners. I'm using Marley Spoon, which is Martha Stewart's…

Happy June team! I'm Kay, 30, living in the Boston area. I'll be on the support team this month, as my weight has been all over the place and I sincerely need to get my binge eating wrangled before coming back to regular weighs in. Otherwise, these numbers mean nothing. @lauren_989 final steps for May - 31: 7281 + 50 min…

@Alatariel75 ugh sorry to hear that. I would also put myself in the boat of "eating like an idiot" this past week+. Currently dreaming up my meal plan for this week, trying to get myself inspired with a mix of healthy stuff (chicken and broccoli recipes), and things that will keep me interested in the meal by Thursday…

Friday Weigh In - a day late! CW: 250.6 Ugh. Knew it was coming but still so disappointed to see the wrong decade show its face again On the other hand, proud of myself for getting through week 1 of my workout challenge! Feeling quite sore but stronger already... and the rain has finally paused this morning so I might try…
-
I am on schedule with week 1 of my workout challenge which feels like a miracle this week. but, eating has continued to be really poor. Likely my 4th straight gain to report tomorrow, boooo. We have a big storm system rolling through the east coast right now and it looks like the long weekend will be bleh. No kayaking for…
-
Quick check in! Had a good day of eating, and a great dance cardio session with my girls. Day 2 of my strength challenge tomorrow.
-
@Alatariel75 I don't know if I have ever meant the "inspiring" reaction on MFP before as much as I did hitting it just now on your post! That is incredible!! What was the outdoor temperature like? It's autumn in Australia now, isn't it? Did your friends come away with as much enthusiasm as you? Steps for me: 13 - 8897 14 -…
