raleighgirl09 check in Hiya gang! Lovely morning this - I got up and took a walk before work. I'm dabbling in that as it's better than a hot noontime walk. I still walk after work when it's cooler and shadier along the route - I like at least 2 walks a day. @gwamajtw91 I could not agree more - this is a great group to be a…

raleighgirl09 check in I went back and read a few pages - we have some awesome new members and I enjoyed catching up some on the familiar names. :smile: I am still working at not logging food and calories, looking to actually begin an eating style that is not dependant on that habit. Recently it has become more natural and…

raleighgirl09 Monday pop-in!! Hello my lovely friends! I am still walking the earth - it's true - but have been remiss in any kind of checkins! @TeresaW1020 and @broncobuddee can I move into cheerleader mode? I can't seem to get my crap in gear to do the weighins, although I am weighing here and there. It's the routine of…

raleighgirl09 Monday check in Welp, Monday morning was a bust! Hubby got up at 4am for an early flight and I was all kindsa off and didn't get to log on BUT this evening I made sure to! That's a win, as you might already have guessed! I had a good day with 2 walks and my calf was fine - no pain or limping, I got my 10,000…

@TeresaW1020 I totally get it! It has literally taken me many years and several attempts to be as close to the reality of all things in moderation as I am. I feel like I will likely continue to struggle with some things - hence why I don't bake brownies, knowing I'd eat them all. But I still hold the hope that there is a…

raleighgirl09 Sunday (FUNday) check in Highdee Ho, SlimO's!!! I feel like I've had a successful weekend so far - good meals and increased water and sleep and got a longer walk today. Yesterday was rainy and I was feeling like 'a poor sweet baby' as we call it here in Ladd Land, and I just went with it so there were far…
-
raleighgirl09 Saturday check in Good morning to all! Yesterday was good enough for repeating - minus the midnight snack! :p I'll take a couple short walks and already have meal options chosen. That part of the equation remains the same - I have the most success when I plan what I'll eat at least the day ahead and weeks are…

raleighgirl09 Thursday check in (will do the weigh in this evening!) Yesterday was a good day for getting two walks and food choices and portions were reasonable. Like @TwistedSassette I am fluctuating, I have had losses every day this week, somewhere about 3.5 pounds. While that's good, I feel like it's water weight so I…
-
raleighgirl09 Wednesday check in Good morning! It sems MFP had an update and these forums are improved! Anyone else notice anything....? I had a pretty good good day yesterday but tipped the balance with a snack after dinner that was not needed - making the after dinner snack urge a focus today. It's ok if I'm tuly hungry…
-
I also have a smart scale from Fitbit which links to the Fitbit account and MFP - I love it because the data is kept even if I don't actively track it. It showed me at a particular point that while my perception was that I started gaining weight quickly after losing a few years back that what actually happened was I…

Before work went to 60mph, I was checking in in…
-
raleighgirl09 Wednesday check in Hey gang! I'm encouraged this morning by the last few days of moving away from mindless eating to being mindful of portions and choices. I have gone back and forth from time to time on logging calories or just journaling intake and am back to journaling intake as a solution. But, to be fair…

@vegan4lyfe2012 well, my friend, we can keep each other company climbing outta da hole we dug. I'm thinking I'm really glad it isn't a bigger gain than it is - looking forward to seeing the rebirth of spring (at least in this hemisphere... B) ) echoed in my efforts for rebirth of forward momentum!!!
-
raleighgirl09 Hi gang - the ones returning and the ones ambling on in! I gotta say first - @TeresaW1020 and @AustinRuadhain and @Katmary71 are doing a great job leading and motivating this group! I have been seriously slacking as a team motivator, I am sad to say. I have wondered if I should be listed as taking a break…

Dude - seriously. You win. That's like the best intro ever! I am in Raleigh, NC and if the world ever calms down and you come around for family - reach on out and let's meet and have drinks and (a sensible) lunch! You laid out an amazing journey of learning about who you are as a person who wants to/needs to lose weight…

raleighgirl09 Saturday check in Mornin' gang! Had a great day at work yesterday but ended the work week not doing well eating wise. Nor water. Steps, nope. As I said, I didn't plan well this week but I was able to keep it steady the first part of the week but that weakness began showing up and was in plain sight by…

raleighgirl09 Wednesday evening Believe it or not (and who would make this up), the above was a post from this morning. That I forgot to push send on. And now it is some 16 hours later.......oy. I am off to bed soon - I have no idea what my weight will be tomorrow. Looking at the habit tracker, I'm up on cals everyday,…

raleighgirl09 Wednesday (Ash, as it were) coffee talk The sun is actually around today and yesterday - beaming like nobody's business!! It was up to 58 yesterday, quite unexpected, but today will be a lot colder. No bother - we'll bundle our happy tooshes up and get out for the walks. We looked at the future weather and…

raleighgirl09 Tuesday check in Soooooo - Fat Tuesday. I decided I was curious this morning and weighed. Mhm - Fat Tuesday. Crazy day starting this morning. The study site I was helping as a part-time gig is in the process of database lock and so the emails and frantic feelings started early - but remember how I now have a…

@bethanie0825 - me too. @SlimPossiblesTeam I and Bethanie are so over the weather. Who's with us?
-
Oh - I do want to say this so I don't forget. I woke up in the night, left my bed and went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. Had the presence of mind to only eat a thin slice of low sodium turkey. STILL. Why do I do this? I actually had a very clear thought when I awoke and went out but it quickly faded as it turns…
