I guess I could but I literally spend only 8h/day at home, including sleep time. I barely have anythig in the fridge. Part of it is laziness I know. I just cant find the courage to do meal prep and a lot of grocery shopping on weekends.

Thing is I cant eat whenever I want. Being at work for 14h I usually have breakfast around 8am, some kind of snack around 11.30, lunch around 1.30 and then the rest of the afternoon is pretty busy so if I am hungry I just grab whatever I can. Then I have dinner when I get home at 8.30. Thing is when I start snacking it is…

Tuesday goals: I want to be able to stop eating between meals. I have such a hard time controllig myself lately. A bite of food here and there doesnt show on my diary but it shows on the scale. Despite 3 meals and snacking, I still feel hungry too. I try to consume a lot of protein but it depends on what is at work.…

@Nikion901 I just use a good old pen and paper. I got a small notebook and everybody has its page and I write people's entry down. Its a bit of work but it's fun. @pneschich Thank goodness your wife is okay. I remeber having to go to the ER a couple times becaise of asthma-like bronchitis and it was very scary. I am glad…

Monday check-in: It hasnt been the greatest weekend food-wise for me. I spent the weekend helping a friend move which mostly involved some back and forth bus trips. As a result I didnt get as much walking done as I wished. Plus she slept over sunday night so it included some take-out and I was dogsitting for her yesterday…

Thanks to…

You can add me. I am at ~1600 right now.

I know it sounds stupid but a lot of time if I want to stop myself from grabbing snacks I will grab my old gameboy. Keeps both hands busy. I like colouring and cross stitching. Occupies hands and mind so it is very relaxing!

READY FOR SUMMER CHALLENGE UPDATE - WEEK 2 This week we've had 25 reported weigh-ins including a few new participants. Welcome! Out of those 25, 18 were losses, 4 were stable (or initial weigh-ins) and 4 were gains. This adds up to a combined loss of 37.5lbs this week! In 2 weeks we have now already lost 74.5lbs as a team!…

Just going through the last couple days of postig and OMG @birgitkwood I am so glad that you are alright. Please rest and get better! @JeanieWww that must have been incredibly scary for both you and your son. I am so glad he is okay. That heart rate is incredibly high. I am very happy it is resolved for him! The last few…

@dmorrical I keep a copy of my challenge log on the notes in my phone (you can do it on your computer too) and just copy/paste it every week. This way I dont have to scroll through pages to find my latest entry

I count the week finishing on sundays (I guess that's the european side of me). I dont think it really matters as long as we all consider 1 week = 7 days LOL

I am afraid I havent been posting too much. Last week has been a hard one for me. I am having a hard time sleeping and it's driving me crazy. As a result I fluctuate between crazy craving and nausea. Fun times. I wanted to wish a warm welcome to all the new people. This thread is amazing and really helpful.

READY FOR SUMMER CHALLENGE WEEKLY RECAP I am pleased to say that we have a whooping 31 participants for this challenge!!! 27 of those 31 have posted a weigh-in for this week. Since it is the first week, some weigh-in are the starting weight so they don't show a loss. Almost everybody has lost or stayed stable. In total we…

WARNING LONG POST AHEAD Today marks my 100th day on MFP. Back in January I went to an endocrinologist where I was (re)diagnosed wich PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrom) That wasnt a surprise since I have know about it since my teens but as a 16 year-old I was invincible and had a lot more going on (inclusing the onset of…

So far I have written down 13 persons that are willing to participate in the next 10 week challenge. @lksmeeton @MermaidPrincessRach @bapcarrier @RobinB0812 @happygirlxxx @GOINSTD12 @reichardtjessica @birgitkwood @karenleona @campfirequeen1 @320sycamore @RunningOnWontons @sand86802 (myself) Let me know if I forgot anybody…

@happygirlxxx If you dont mind me asking, where are you from and where in Europe are you going? I moved from France to Canada 6 years ago so I am curious

Sounds good to me! Who is in?

I would try some stick anti perspirant in the area. I used to use that for my thigh when wearing a dress to avoid chaffing and it worked wonders for that... Maybe it will work for your problem too?

I vote for the 10 week one... I was going to propse that too. And it would coincide (almost) with Canada Day as well. I am willing to track the stats unless someone else wants the job
