Happy New Year, everyone! :) Unfortunately, my 12/5 "I'm back" post was the last day I managed to hold it together. The next day I met a friend for lunch, and the rest of December was a complete loss. I gained 6 pounds: I'm now just 10 pounds away from being the same weight as when I started in September 2016, and I'm 90…

Some of you might recognize my name from earlier this year; I was kind of a regular until late March/early April. I got completely overwhelmed/burned out at work, didn't have time to post anymore, and decided that I didn't really need a "community" or a network here. I was wrong! Since the spring I've gotten further and…

Name: Jenny Age: 45 Height: 5'3 Start Weight: 210 (week of Feb 22) Goal Weight: 205 (Week of April 22) Weigh-ins on week of 02/22: 210 03/01: 206 03/08: 208 03/15: 03/22: 03/29: 04/05: 04/12: 04/19: Last day April 22: Weight -/+ this week: +2 Weight -/+ this month: -2

So I guess I got excited about hitting 206 too soon, even though I made sure the scale showed it at least three consecutive times: immediately after my post last week my weight went up, and I've been at 207.8 pretty consistently. And it won't go down in time for this week's weigh-in, because I ate horribly over the weekend…

@pneschich - What did your blood work show? I hope you got some answers, and that you're feeling like yourself again! @campfirequeen1 - I do the exact same thing when it comes to logging: if it isn't easy for me to estimate the calories, I simply won't bother. Congratulations on getting better about that! @Dalceridae - 50…

Oh yay! Someone in almost literally the same boat. :) I hope you and your baby girl both feel better soon!! And I hope you won't mind if I copy your challenge, because it seems appropriate: Name: Jenny Age: 45 Height: 5'3 Start Weight: 210 (week of Feb 22) Goal Weight: 205 (Week of April 22) Weigh-ins on week of February…

Good morning, all! Lately I haven't been keeping up with the "community" part of MFP, but I've missed you guys/this thread. :) @pneschich - I'm so glad to hear that your surgery went well and that you're doing better afterwards than you expected! I would think that right now it's more important to nourish yourself than to…

Good morning, all! And "welcome" to the new folks. :) My Thursday Truth is that I still use restaurants as an excuse to eat poorly/whatever I want. :( The other day I had dinner at Olive Garden: I could have just gotten spaghetti with marinara sauce and not blown my daily calorie goal (and been plenty full), but I still…

I second this: my breakfast every morning is 36-42g of plain Cheerios and 1/2 cup of 1% milk. On weekdays I use a pre-packaged cup of Cheerios (36g) for speed and convenience: that plus the milk is 185 calories. On weekends or when I work from home I pour 1.5 cups (42g) of Cheerios out of the box, and then I'm looking at…

Good morning, everyone. :smiley: Monday Check-In: I'm doing well this morning. Yesterday was nice and quiet, and my throat has recovered. :) I tried a new-to-me frozen burrito that only had 260 calories and was quite tasty, so I'm kind of pleased about that. For dinner I've pretty much only been eating Perdue encrusted…

Good morning, everyone! I went to a rock concert last night, so I'm currently recovering. *grin* My internal clock is a little off this morning: I was up until 1am (waaaay past my usual bedtime) and I didn't get out of bed until almost 9am, so I'm having that thing where it's much later in the day than I feel like it…

@MermaidPrincessRach - 6 pounds in 2 weeks? You got this! :) @Nikion901 - THANK YOU for your post, which prompted me to look at my own January numbers. I knew I'd had some bad days, but I was surprised to see that I was at or under my calorie goal on just 15 days (less than 50% of the time). :open_mouth: And I had 11…

Monday Check-In: I'm doing well. :D I had that grocery store victory on Saturday, and I stayed within my calorie goals all weekend without feeling hungry or deprived. Also, my "hobby" is being a jazz singer and last night I booked a show for two weeks from now. It will be my first performance since losing 30 pounds!…

Saturday Success - I feel like something "slipped" inside my head and lately I'm a little obsessed with the idea of indulging in a day of all of the foods I love but haven't had in four months (potato chips, donuts, tuna casserole, real ice cream, etc.). The urges are stronger than they've been since I started all of this.…

I have nothing Friday Fitness-y to report...but this morning it did occur to me that when the weather gets a little warmer, I could/should go to Great Falls national park. It's pretty, and there are a couple of very easy trails in addition to the more challenging ones. The park is split by the Potomac River, including a…
