Interesting, because I have always read that fat cells were permanent! @MWMstr17 I do agree about making decisions regarding eating in advance, and then allowing a guilt free meal/day. I am starting to lean toward a pass day for Thanksgiving. Fortunately I will be eating at my brother's, so no concern about temptation past…

Exercise: :) Tracking: :) Calories :) Pass days: Zero

Update: I figured there is no time like the present. I just discovered I can indeed do 10 regular push ups/1 minute plank/10 regular push ups, so I guess I have to commit to doing it 3 times a day now... So someone get on the ICY!

Honestly, I haven't found it to be any more difficult as time has passed/pounds have shed, and I will be coming up on 7 months next week of continual week after week weight loss. So, from my personal experience plateaus are not inevitable, and lowered metabolism/starvation mode from prolonged low calorie intake are also…

I will move this along since it has been setting for 24 hours. I weigh on Sundays (and haven't weighed since the close of the challenge), so mine is a 3 week goal. Realistically my weight loss is going to slow down because I am close to maintenance, but I will shoot for 2 pounds down by Term 37 weigh in. I have been…

Exercise: :) Tracking: :) Calories: :) Well, only three days left in the month and no pass days used so yes to Winner's Circle! I should be able to stretch my no pass day streak to 3 months, but you never know...there is a cake on the counter that has been really messing with me. Today I seriously contemplated how many…

Join us at UAC! This will be my 4th month and it is a very welcoming community for everyone, no matter what stage you are at on your journey. Lots of great advice, support, and encouragement!

How about a 4 mile run? Done. I will go do a one minute wall sit for good measure. ICY to 10 push ups and a 1 minute plank. (I will go do those too!) Done!

I want to join! MFP user name: Bradkcrew Weigh in day: Sunday Starting weight: 114.4 I am hard core with challenges and need a group of individuals that feel the same way! (@Mrs_Hoffer can vouch for me!) I am nearing the end of the weight loss phase (maybe 6 more lbs), so I hope that won't eliminate me because maintenance…

@znaoiec Rotel tomatoes are a staple for me! (Although I don't use the name brand) I use them in various dishes at least a couple of times per week.

@hippysprout I am also in deep contemplation about how to handle the holidays, especially Thanksgiving which is looming. Do I stay on course and just put a piece of turkey breast on my plate (because there will be nothing else that will be workable) and treat it like any other day, or do I just take the day and eat? The…

20 crunches done. I have been meaning to get started on some sort of ab routine for quite some time...I really need to get at it. ICY to see how long you can do a wall sit.

@KCJen If the pasta salad satisfies you and works with your calories then great! It wouldn't work for me because the tiny portion/calorie ratio would leave me starving and would stimulate cravings for more and more pasta. But we are all different, and as much as we search for a magic formula, we have to filter volumes of…

I'm in! Are you a prefect next term?

@readyornot1234 Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It is very helpful to hear from others that share the same issues. For now I am just sticking with the eating plan that has proven to work for me, but realistically I know that at any point I may stumble and everything will fall apart.... When it happens I only hope that I…

@SummerSkier True about controlling everything forever, and I am certainly hitting the wall when it comes to exercise. I pushed myself to hit my running goal for the 15k, then this week I found it impossible to get myself to even run a mile. There is no sensible explanation for it. Same for the weight work outs--it is…

@MadisonMolly2017 I take your point about the similarity to alcoholism. Although it seems perfectly logical that I should be able to have one meal, or one cheat day, or fall off the wagon for a few days even, and just pick right back up where I left off, it just DOESN'T work that way. Just like with alcoholism and drug…

@slimtastesbetter I agree, I have never considered myself an emotional eater. However, as far back as I can remember, even as a skinny kindergartener, I ate huge amounts of food. I can eat, and eat...and eat. I have never really defined it as "binging" because for me it was just how I normally eat if I am not actively…

Exercise: :) Ugh, plans for a full day hike thwarted again; dreary, rainy weather all day. As much as I loathe weights I have consistently made myself go to the gym at least twice a week for months, but this week it almost didn't happen. Then suddenly, an hour before the gym closed, I found some force pulling me to the…

exercise 😊 tracking 🙂 calories 🙂

thanks for setting this up!
