Hello all. I kinda skimmed through the posts I've missed the last couple weeks and I have to say y'all inspire me. Especially those who take the time to write consistently without fail. I've never been great with consistently doing much of anything but I figured I would be better off trying to post as often as I can than…

@theslightedgeforever thanks! I wish my say no to sweets muscle wasn't having to be exercised to frequently lol but I guess that means it'll just get stronger so probably a positive in the long run. Most exercises I prefer to do alone or at most with a small group but I like to use the alone time during exercise to tune…

@theslightedgeforever it's awesome you are getting so much from the WW meetings! Even if it's someone else talking about it lol. I definitely thought that was you too. @trooworld good ideas on meal prep. I do meal prep but I hadn't thought about cooking the same base protein different ways so I don't get sick of it. I…

Not too proud to admit I need all the support I can get o:) Feel free to send me an add!

Sorry for the late reply. I take as many breaks as I can (we get at least 2 15 minute breaks plus lunch break) and walk laps in our building on my breaks. Depending on your building's set up you can walk laps or stairs or go outside to walk when the weather is nice. On those days you can't get up hardly at all I have seen…

Whew today sure was Monday! Not in a bad way, just a busy day. Update on the dessert lurking on my counter (homemade cookie and rice krispie with homemade salted caramel on top btw): I regifted it to my dad when I went to family dinner Sunday night. Didn't eat it and he thought I saved it special for him so his happiness…

Mamma Mia Here We Go Again was even better than the first one! Didn't know that was possible. Something about happy musicals brings out a special kind of joy in me. Also went through the whole movie with no candy or popcorn or anything!!! Monumental for me! The dessert is still lurking in the kitchen. Couldn't bring myself…

@cbabie it's good to know others have gone through losing and then gaining again and that I'm not alone. Getting it right isn't always 100% the goal. Some days just trying to do better than I did yesterday is progress enough for me. As long as you are being honest, I'm sure you're doing more right than you think.…

The recipe I use is 1/2 cup milk, 1/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats, 1 tsp chia seeds, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. Put in Mason jar and shake to mix then leave in fridge overnight or at least 8 hours. Sometimes I put a tsp of honey or syrup or a tbsp of peanut butter or almond butter and mix it in before…

They are meant to be eaten cold. But I'm a rule breaker so I make mine following a recipe and then warm it up for a minute or minute and a half in the microwave before eating it. This helps solve the texture issue plus I just like them warm. This way you get the benefits of old fashioned rolled oats (whole grain, I think?)…

TGIF this week flew by! So excited for the weekend to be off work and doing stuff with friends and family. Going to see the new Mamma Mia movie so I'm pretty excited about that! Though I love the weekend, it does tend to be when I struggle the most with calories/staying on track/tracking. Maybe because there isn't the…

Hello all! I have been perusing the groups and community on MFP and I have to say I was feeling particularly lost until I saw this group. I think I was looking for something similar to what my experience on Connect with WW was and this is just a little different. After reading some of the posts on this thread, I do think…

Hello all in the 50+ to lose category! I am not totally new to MFP or dieting. Lost 75 lbs with WW a couple of years ago and have gained most of it back in the last several months. Guess I'm kind of a serial starter but I really want to reach my goal and maintain it this time! I'm hoping discussion and support can help.…

Hello all! Yeah, I agree some more lively discussion is in order. I am not totally new to MFP or dieting. Lost 75 lbs with WW a couple of years ago and have gained most of it back in the last several months. Guess I'm kind of a serial starter but I really want to reach my goal and maintain it this time! I'm hoping…
