Woot woot. Fantastic work, you’re inspiring.

Jessica, you’ve been an amazing group leader for these challenges. Thank you!! You’ll still be on MFP, right?

You guys are inspiring me! Nice work.

Thanks for this... Ever feel like you’ve got to hit the bottom to come back up? Well I’m on my way back up. I’m focusing on the positives today!

Nice run. I hope your husband is ok!

This is awesome.

My success comes when I can stop myself from eating crap food. I haven’t been doing that. I’ve also been feeling pretty good about myself. I’m carrying extra fat but essentially I’m at a healthy weight. So my motivation is low! Does this make sense? I took some bikini pics today and I might try on some summer dresses…

I’m still here! I had to step back from MFP for a minute, I was feeling too obsessed and just not doing well. But I’m better now, thanks ladies for being here for nonjudgment and sharing.

My doctor recommended a multi and a B complex and I DO feel better when I’m consistent with them. Also D because I get very low in the winter, and a food-based iron because I’m anemic. I like Innate Response vitamins which are made from whole food, mostly veggies. And Nordic Naturals for the fish oil.

The struggle is real. Anxiety either shuts me down completely or I’m scrambling for relief. I forget to be patient with myself in trying to get better. Try, try again... I’m curious about your exam-giving - is this a new job? . Good thoughts. I appreciate these reminders to keep the better habits going. I’ve been stress…

Thank you. I wrote down some of my anxieties and stressors and stepped back and separated out what I can control vs. what I can’t. This helped. You’re right about reactions. I keep failing at managing my reactions to other people, and to things outside my control. It takes a lot of energy. But I do seem to be better when…

I bought the book, followed the beginner program, and although I never lifted on my own before I got hooked on the workouts and the results. I’d recommend it! It gives you aesthetic results and good muscle balance, in my opinion. I just started the beginner program for a second run with more resistance.

This thread is helping me tune into my own guilty feelings. I feel guilty all the time. But it’s like Mom-guilt, similar to generalized anxiety. Can anyone relate to this?

Two words: banded squats. Ouch!

I added some squat jumps into my circuits this week. I missed them. Well not really, maybe I miss the results they give!

Good suggestion! Thank you :)

@brianneangell08 oh haha you make a good point! Maybe I won’t try this habit in the bathroom after all. The sink is kind of separate from you know where, but still...

At the gym and in the car I'm happy to chug out of those 20-oz Blender Bottles, but once I'm home I get very bored with the water thing. So I started keeping a full glass of water on the kitchen countertop. If I go into the kitchen, there's my water waiting for me. Chug, refill, and leave it out again. The next time I…

I can't commit to... closing my "eating window" at 8:00pm. I want to commit to it because... then I plan meals better and eat more during the day, rather than undereat to save calories for late night snacks. Also better sleep; a happier tummy. The reason I can't commit to it is because... I'm totally comforting myself with…

Jessica, it’s the Decleor Aromassance oil. But I used it way back when, in my spa days. I like the jojoba oil idea from @brianneangell08 ! Why am I not using coconut oil on my hair already?!

It was a Decleor face oil, I wonder if they still make it... the ylang ylang face oil was really good too. I worked at a spa way back when. We used a lot of aromatherapy! Good tip on using the coconut oil on hair too. Why don’t I already do this, lol.

Can anyone suggest a hair mask or some product to help nourish dry hair? I’m looking for something that won’t weigh it down once it’s rinsed. My hair is soaked in Moroccan Oil right now, I smell like a salon and things look a little stringy, oops.

Fantastic drop this week!
