Hey all, I dropped off the MFP plant back at Thanksgiving. The stresses of family life, holidays and prego brain that won't let me think straight as well as some ongoing pregnancy complications just got to me and something had to go. I haven't been logging or anything since then but have been doing fairly well though I am…

Tuesday Goal: Back to Basics for me too. Have been off track, not logging well for some time but I went to the Dr and found out why I have been feeling terrible for about 8 weeks now!!! I'm pregnant!!! they did an ultrasound to find out why I hadn't realized it and I do have a small, hopefully benign bleed that should self…

@b_lisieux awesome picture! Would love to Make it to Amish country sometime! And hold on to the small good decisions you are making because they do make a difference, keeps you form saying "the heck with it"! @ihp2015 great job being consistent! It shows in your numbers you have found something thats working for you!!

@samiyha eating higher calories than your norm will show an increase in the scale because 1) you ate a higher volume of food which is of course going to weigh more and 2) when you eat more you get more carbs/sodium/sugar all of which reatains water so most of it is water weight. Get back on the wagon, be good and that…

Monday update: I have been MIA, I know I'm trying but there just aren't enough hours in the day! Starting this new business has become a very time consuming thing(its only supposed to be part time) but all the setup to make things easier in the long run take so much time. I'm hoping things will calm real soon and I can…

The scale read 200 even this morning!!! I don't know that it will stay, but I love seeing that number, I can taste Onederland!!! :p

@newjax2017 when I complete my food diary at the end of the day, it pops up, but I use my android smartphone, don't know it its different with different devices/computers. @samiyha when I log really low calories like near 1000 vs 1200+ my projections are always really out there, never meet those, but when I'm nearer to MFP…

@verybusybee and @30prospect I too went to Dr. For suspected thyroid issuse, was put on low dose of meds but didnt do much(wasn't trying at that time either because I was soo exhausted) after about 2 months Dr said I bet this is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, gave me some tests but nothing really showed up, but she gave me…

@verybusybee great job getting in some movement when you can and sticking to your calories! @bapcarrier @Nikion901 thank you for the peek into your adventures!! And Niki way to go getting out there and walking even though it didnt seem up to par, but par used to be not at all! kept at it, you're doing great!! I remember…

@tdunnegan Happy anniversary!!# @happygirlxxx meal planning is a life saver for me, both in weigh loss and saving my sanity with this family if 5!!! it took me about a month to get the hang of it, or in the habit I should say, now I plan out 2 weeks at a time, saving money by only grocery shopping 2x a month(except fresh…

NSV: I guess losing weight and knowing I can do things I put my mind to has helped in other areas in my life....today I signed up to be a LipSense distributer and that is a huge success!!

Friday fitness: got back to the gym today. And so far I have been sticking to the elliptical for an hour and slowly increasing the resistance. But I and my muscles are getting bored, so after seeing an article on HIIT, that you can do it with any exercise I decided to try it with the elliptical.. Just do whatever exercise…

Got the house back in order yesterday!! But I have been completely mentally wrappend up in my nephew's life these past 2 weeks. He is wrapping up therapy with one provider and changing to another so I feel I'm missing tons of time because I'm having to process so much and plan what's best for him and deal with the backlash…

Monday check in: between life, stress, planning a suprise bday party for nephew, and planning/going to the gym for the last 2 weeks, my house is in disarray(to put it nicely) and with the wild week this is going to be I HAVE TO skip going to the gym today and reclaim this house. But it's probably a good thing becuase I was…

Truth Thursday: my mind is so overwhelmed at the moment I can't even think of anything to write, comment on, or respond to. There, that took 5 tries but I got that typed out....tomorrow folks, tomorrow.

@karenleona sorry you are having to deal with so much. It sounds so much like me being a mother to 2 little ones: cleaning up other peoples messes, never having what you need to make the job easier, can't stop when we are sick, and having to pull an all nighter, lol. Hoping you have an easy shift, and tomorrow is better.…

Monday check-in: so saturday hubby decided that I was hangry and fixed me a snack and I forgot to resize my dinner portion(lasagna >:) ) to account for that, so I went over. Then Sunday for lunch we went to a Chinese buffet and I know I ate too much cause I still wasn't hungry at dinner time, logged my lunch @ 2000 cal.…

@tdunnegan for the first few weeks of my journey I ate at or under calorie goal, being very mindful of what I ate and always went the healthy route, but it wasn't until I "failed" at the calories and still logged every last calorie did it truly open my eyes to how bad I was before, and I knew I didn't want to nor should I…

I had another Saturday Success... I "fit" in size 16 jeans today, 2 months ago I wouldn't even get them off the rack. I still have some more to go before they are comfortable, and don't cause a horrible muffin top, but I got them on and buttoned/zipped!! @Nikion901 I'm glad your kitty let you sleep in a little bit and that…

Saturday nsv: I'm using my food scale for eveything again, so I'm back on track with that! And I'm sleeping better again, don't know if it's just from going to the gym or a combo of that and eating better and going in to bed at a decent hour.
