I feel this so much! Snacking is hard for me too! I have found that if I have some cut up carrots available at all times, then I can snack and not feel bad about it. Besides, the crunch and sweetness of the carrot tends to satisfy the snack craving beast for me.

Went ice skating with my kids for 2 hours, so…

This sounds like a fantastic idea. I may have to try this with some pineapple or strawberries if I am really craving some ´dessert´. Thanks for the idea @meagop !

Thank you! Quitting smoking has been quite a challenge, though by not drinking as well I have found not smoking a lot easier. I don't think I could do it if I was drinking at all, as I started smoking by only doing it when I was drinking, and it had become a worse habit from there. I am not using an app. I am just facing…

Yesterday was ok. It was great until the evening. I even was able to incorporate an unplanned dinner party with family. I brought a salad and was able to enjoy a big salad with a small portion of what they were cooking. But then I went home and was super snacky. However, instead of eating myself through the house as I…

Another good day yesterday. A bit sore from my previous work out, but feeling good. Got in another 10000 steps again yesterday, and was successful in completing another smoke free and alcohol free day. SW: 74.6 Day/Weight/Comment 1/2 74.6 1/3 74.4 1/4 73.7 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 1/10 1/11

Great day yesterday. I was successful in getting in a lot of activity which made getting my steps was. Worked out, played in the snow with my kids and did laundry (up and down three sets of steps about 10 times) and packed all the Christmas decorations up.

Yesterday was great! Kept within calorie limits, worked out, and even managed to complete my second day of dry January and my second day of quitting smoking. But it is early days yet, and these first few days are easy when motivation is high and I am still living off of the enthusiasm for all the changes. SW: 74.6…

My gaol is to reach 300,000 steps, so averaging 10,000 steps a day. Might be a little more difficult as the ground is covered in snow here, and turning to ice soon, but I am not going to let that stop me this time.

Hi everyone. I have been using MFP off and on for many years. Unfortunately, I have never been consistent with it, and it shows on the scale. I am the heaviest I have ever been and my health is starting to be impacted by that. It is time to get the weight off so that I can get off my blood pressure medications and just…

I'm coming back again for try 1,100,000. This time though, I am focusing not so much on losing weight just to look better, but losing weight to lower my blood pressure and get off of my medications and overall just improve my health. No quitting this time, my health and life depend on this. So lets do this! SW: 74.6…

12th - Didn't do any organized exercise, but we are moving into our new house and I got 9000 steps yesterday and ended up scrubbing my bathroom for about 30 minutes, so I think that counts. And I took the stairs up 3 floors at work, 2 times!! That is huge for me instead of using the elevator. I will call that a win!

I am in, though a bit late. I think I can still accomplish this goal, though it might be a little more difficult now. However, I am really wanting to give it a try. I need motivation, and I think this might help me get started on getting back to exercising. Hopefully, I will have a good strong entry to report tomorrow!

Hi everyone, this is my millionth time starting on MFP. Can never seem to keep at it, though I really. want to this time. I am starting this challenge a little bit late, but I really need something to help me get motivated and keep me motivated over time. I hope to really crush my goals this time, and to keep going even…

To start exercising 3 times a week again. I have really slacked on this since I started a new job and I can feel it and see it. I am ready to feel STRONG again.
