@mpkpbk2015 Patricia I also miss your daily affirmations. Here is one I think you will like. Life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful. I think this is both meaningful for our personal lives and out weight loss journey.

Sunday share: triggers are a b!tch!!! I ended April in a slump because...well...not sure but I think it was two things. 1- my goal for April was unrealistic and I don't do well with goals that are unachievable and 2- I was watching a video that was talking about kitkats and I couldn't stop thinking of them for half an…

After a great start to April I flopped for the last 2 days. It's funny how a trigger can really throw you off course. But yesterday I had a huge non scale victory!! I do love NSVs!! I've been doing IF where I eat from 11-7, the mornings at breakfast are really hard especially on the weekends. I know that I don't have to…

@mpkpbk2015 How are you feeling today? Were they able to find antibiotics that you are not allergic to?

Well, I'm trying to add an image from my computer today...lets see if this works. I'm really good at being creative and explaining something complicated in terms that people can relate to. What are your strengths?

@misplacedmama congratulations!! You have done amazing work this month. What has helped you gain a better relationship with food? You have made a ton of progress this year!!

@KeriA I find intermittent fasting really interesting, but I have a herd time getting behind some of it for a lifestyle. For me a 16:8 can be a lifestyle. I skip breakfast and start eating at 11 am. From what I've read you do not have to follow the same schedule every day so if that schedule doesn't work for you on the…

Saturday success - this week my goal was to track before eating. This has always been a hard one for me. A couple of times I've remembered while taking my first bite so I went and tracked at that moment. Otherwise I've tracked before eating!! A huge victory for me. As a reward I'm going to try a new Japanese restaurant…

So I use MFP from my phone...it would be easier to add pictures from the computer. I took a screenshot and save that as a picture and uploaded for another thred...long story short, the results were not what I wanted.

@kelMee2 Fitbit transfers my steps/exercise calories over to MFP. But I figure a lot of these exercise calories are getting eaten with some of my imperfect logging. For example I almost never log low calorie veggies. I figure they are not worth the effort. Also when I cut a piece of homemade bread I don't weigh it, so it…

@girlinkaz very inspiring!! You are going to rock it in Indonesia! @goal06082021 I've also noticed that most of the time it's not worth it going for low carb. I might as well have the normal ones and just have them less frequently. @kelMee2 is the net calories your total intake minus the remaining? I try to leave most of…

@Mjbcoffee just wondering have you noticed a correlation between your diet and migraines? Just wondering if you get more when you have so few carbs? Or less with a 23:1 schedule?

Well that did not add the pictures as I was expecting. @Get_Back_To_Feeling_Good how did you enter in your picture

@Get_Back_To_Feeling_Good I'm sorry I misunderstood your chart. I thought it was showing total calories. I did not understand what net calories meant until I went and looked mine up. Here are my total calorie and net calorie charts. FYI this is the first time I've put a picture into a chat thread. Yeah for me!!

@Get_Back_To_Feeling_Good you have had 3 days under 1000 calories. Are you planning on continuing with that level of calorie intake?? To each their own but I don't think that is a healthy behavior, not for long term weight loss and not for short term weight loss.

Thursday truth - I have a harder time controlling my eating impluses when I'm alone.

@JNettie73 it is always wonderful to get random comments like that!! That is crazy that you have to interview for your job each year. Where do you work (what type of job if you don't want to share the company name). I haven't run into that before but I've only worked in retail before collage and in Biotech afterwards.

@pessxx do you add the images from you phone or your computer? I use MFP from my phone 99% of the time. Just trying to figure out how you get the quotes pasted in.

I keep thinking about the website that @speyerj posted. My overall activity has really decreased since COVID started. I have a desk job, but I used to have to walk from my upstairs desk on one end of my building to the next building and to the end of the upstairs of that building for the conference rooms. Sometimes I would…

@uyister Those pictures are worth a 1000 words! Amazing job! What a change!! I'm so proud that you were able to keep working on it over 3 years and not yo-yo to gain the weight back.

Hi all I just joined the group and it felt like this was a good place to jump in. I live in California in the San Francisco Bay Area. We only got 6 inches of rain this year so @KateNkognito please take our warm sunny days and share the rain 😁 A little about me. I'm 5'6" 229lbs 38 years old. I’ve been stricken to a 16:8…

Wednesday wish - I wish that when I go on a trip that I can find the motivation for weight loss that I had before I left. I seem to fall off so many diets or eating healthy once I go on a trip or have a free weekend. It seems like once I "fall off the diet wagon" it is almost impossible to get back on unless I switch to…

@Mjbcoffee oh I miss read you update. I thought you fasted for 24 hrs. I was thinking that was really hard to do that two days in a row and then make dinner in the middle of it 🤣

Going back to Robin's original ideas for th8s thread (below) I'll post my Tuesday update. GOALS and IDEAS for daily posts (Not mandatory) Monday - Check In (how are you doing? Had any successes or struggles this week-end?) Tuesday - Goals (do you have any Goals you want to update us?) Wednesday - Wishes (what do you wish?…
