You got it!

I'm back from my short "vacation" and oh boy, could I use a vacation. My second flight was incredibly delayed, so I'm quite short on sleep today, but that's not stopping me from pretending I'm awake enough to take on my workday. Today is all about resetting and getting back to good habits. Time to drink plenty of water,…

Snacking is always a tough obstacle to overcome! And then the salt and sugar can lead to bloating, even if you've stayed completely within your calorie goals. What are some of your go-to snacks??

@9Harvey - Absolutely! Post your daily steps (Sun - Sat) before next Wednesday, and you'll be in next week's. @melaniedscott is going to be taking care of the post next week while I'm on a trip, and I'm sure she'd be happy to add you to the leaderboard.

I'm definitely not much of a partier in general, but my boyfriend is very into cocktails, so I'm sure there will end up being quite a bit of drinking. We've also got reservations at a Wolfgang Puck restaurant, and I anticipate eating my delicious delicious feelings while I'm in there.

I hadn't been above 175 for a long time, and being back up there, regardless of knowing my muscle-to-fat ratios, was rough for me mentally. This…

Your cycle absolutely can cause water retention. Hormonal shifts are a major offender when it comes to bloating, but at least we know they're (hopefully) only temporary.

@9Harvey - Yep! If you look a couple posts down from there, you'll see that I changed your weigh-day for you.

This is very important to know. My self-filtering needs to know where the boundaries are.

It makes sense, but it also creates extra work for people, which is definitely not the way to go about these things. Rarely will people stick with a more complicated option when there is a more simple one available. I hope the book provides some strategies to only count certain carbs while disregarding the rest without…

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry. I edited all of the statistics for you. Don't know how that happened, but thanks for catching the mistake.

REMINDER TO GET YOUR STEP COUNTS IN BY NOON EST - RESULTS POSTED LATER! Also, to get to know everyone a bit better, I've got a question: Even as a math person... sometimes I just don't wanna do it. If MFP didn't calculate all my calorie and macro/micro totals for me, I don't think I would be willing to log my food. That…

I was dehydrated yesterday, due to a…

@rachelrjh - 135 could be realistic for the month, but it would require a lot of discipline and patience with yourself. And honestly, you're so close to your goal weight that things are going to be pretty slow moving if you want to do it in a healthy and sustainable fashion. Maybe we can check in on this goal at the…
