@trooworld : Great question! At the top of the list for me is Be Conscious of My Intake. That means food tracking. So, yes, I need to make sure to track today, because this is going to be a long day!

Hello, Slimsters! This has not been the best week. Not disastrous but not in the green. I am out to make up for it this week. On the plus side — I got in over 13K steps today, including a 45-minute stairstep session! Weigh-In Apr 7, 2025 SW 265.2 PW 229.8 CW 230.2 Looking back on my week, I think both food and movement…

Hello, Austin here. For those who don’t know me, I live in Texas with my husband. I have one son, now in college. I will brag about him at the drop of a hat, so be careful what you ask. My home also includes a menagerie: 1 green-cheeked conure, 5 backyard chickens who think they are lap birds, a huge goldfish (now 11 years…

@trooworld - I like your movement challenge! @sleepygirl79 - Yep -- back to work! You got this! @txcritter69 - You sound like a tomato whisperer! Or maybe it was the inside time. My tomato plants have never made it that long. @19shmoo69 - Nice loss! @micaroo4 - Good for you and your outdoor adventure, even if yo did get…

My new ambition: https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/wellness/story/75-year-woman-lost-60-pounds-fitness-influencer-82655773 (2023 story, but I just came across it.) I am reminded that I need to make a goals board. It would help to have pictures in mind.

Quick check-in on my day* I kept food to my losing weight calorie goal. * I made good food choices. No salad for dinner, but I grabbed a smoothie at a place that has one that is veggies and protein powder, no bananas or sugar. * I got in two movement sessions: 1 long morning walk and a midday bike ride. The bike weas a big…

@lislisa123 - I did not know about Joey and "How you doing?" I looked it up, and laughed! @AmbersWay - Hurray for staying close to steady1 I hope the dust settles soon! @gemwolf110 - What a good day! @Veta2018 - I had to laugh about the elliptical that you called a coatrack. Your puppy looks pleased. Perhaps watching you…

Username: AustinRuadhain Weigh in week: Week 1 Weigh in day: Monday PW: 215.2 CW: 215.4 :disappointed: Okay, so what I did last week was not quite enough to get the number to go down. I'll adjust. The big things I will try this week are less fruit and not eating back exercise calories.

@laurelfit57 , @sleepygirl79 - Hurray for the loss! 🎉 @Katmary71 - Thank you for the Ab Challenge! I am going to give this a try (though the numbers at end of month are more than a little intimidating). @txcritter69 - "Taking the scale with me." I am impressed! 🎖 @Veta2018 - Your loss since September is impressive, as is…

Good morning! @19shmoo69 - Good morning! Thank you for the ice breaker questions! Your recent one had me think mf my first date with my husband, which was a treat! @trooworld - I am writing from a page pulled up from a saved set of tabs! The Edge browser does that, too. Hurray for the migraine going away. I am sorry to…

Hello, all! I let life get in the way there for a bit. I am back on MFP and was delighted to this group going. If y'all don't mind a new/old face, I'll hop in!

Hello all! Austin here. I am here for a new month! My weigh-in days are Mondays. My highest weight: 265 lbs My current weight: 215.2 lbs My goal for June: 210 (I love a round number) My long-term goal: 115 Food is always my biggest challenge. I'll be logging food and tracking on/off plan. June Movement Goals Walking in…

Humorous Date Story It took two tries for my husband to ask me out. We still laugh over this. I was assisting in a communication course he was in, and a mutual friend had suggested we look each other up. He came and found me on a break, introduced himself, said that friend had said I was really athletic. He said that he…

@trooworld Getting back on track then!

AustinRuadhain here. I apologize for going quiet. I got overwhelmed by end of semester and life, and embarrassed by an upward weight bounce. (How? How can I gain weight so much faster than I lose it? Ah, well, I can.) Anyway, I'd be grateful for the conversation, the support and the chance to refocus in June.
