Feeling apprehensive about a job change that’s coming in 10 days, and now also melancholic and wistful and nostalgic because earlier I was feeling bored and lonely, which somehow led me to randomly read private messages here from 3.5 years ago, a whole novel worth of them between me and someone who’s been one of the most…

FEBRUARY 2021 SW overall: 209.2 February Start: 197.3 Sunday 2/7: 198.2 Sunday 2/14: 193.9 Sunday 2/21 Sunday 2/28 Goal for 2/28: 192 Long term goal: 160 As I said a couple of days ago, I think I'm finally past the mental block I'd been running into the last several weeks! I know most of this loss is "first week of really…

FEBRUARY 2021 SW overall: 209.2 February Start: 197.3 Sunday 2/7: 198.2 Sunday 2/14 Sunday 2/21 Sunday 2/28 Goal for 2/28: 192 Long term goal: 160 So, the first week of February was as big a bust for me as January, but I think I'm finally past the mental block. I got myself back on track with keto as of Monday and feel…

SW: 209.2 (SW for MFP a long time ago), 197.9 (SW as of 12/17/20) GW: 160ish 1/3/21: 193.5 lbs 1/11/21: 196.2 1/20/21: 194.9 2/1/21: 197.3 2/5/21: 198.2 2/12/21: 193.9 I'm afraid that 1) the first 5-6 weeks of this year have not been good for me and my weight has been up and down a lot - the weights that I've logged are…

January was quite the bust for me. I set a goal of a 5 lb. loss, but instead am starting February up 2.4 pounds from where I was at the beginning of the year thanks to a lot of bad decisions (but there were some good ones, too - covid vaccinations done, which is a big relief with as often as I have been exposed at work!)…

Argh, messed up the quote tags up there - but I ended January with a net gain of 2.4 thanks to lots of bad decisions. Time to turn that around.

Hey, I'm 40 and a mom of 4, sometimes missing that toddler phase and sometimes SO glad that my boys are all big enough that they'll sleep until noon if I let them now. :D Also have somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 pounds to lose at the moment. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

I'd be very glad to have new friends here.

Make time

Starting - 209.2 Current - 193.5 Goal - 160ish for starters, 145 eventually Would love to add some friends!

Hey, I'm hoping to lose about the same amount as my initial goal, and then another 25 or so after that. Always up for more friends to give and receive accountability and support, if you'd like to add me.

Lol, no - not one guy, just a combination of experiences that make me leery of trying again!

Chiming in late, but my January goals: Log daily Calorie deficit daily 30+ minutes walking daily Other workouts 4 days/week 8+ cups of water daily Bedtime before 1 a.m. Also have a one time "goal" of getting the home gym equipment moved to the space I just cleared out for it in the basement and setting it up for better…

When I re-committed to myself on 12/17, I set a (pretty easily attainable) goal of 8 pounds off by 1/31. More than halfway there, and my big goal for the year is to keep setting goals I know I can reach every month instead of letting myself get overwhelmed by the big picture of "I can't believe I slacked enough to let…

Hey, I'm Michelle. I used mfp extensively back in 2018 and lost just under 40 pounds, then decided to take a year or so to practice maintenance before working on losing the last 20-30 that I wanted to lose. I did well for a while, but then between a job change in late 2019 that drastically dropped my activity level at work…

That was a much nicer weigh-in than I expected, especially after going off track a bit on Friday when I decided to indulge in making the French toast that I found myself suddenly craving intensely. Congrats on your losses these last couple days, Jackie and Stormy!

SW: 209.2 GW: 160ish Last week: 195.5 bs Today: 193.5 lbs That starting weight was from December 2017 - I did pretty well for a while, got to a "lowest weight since before kids" spot of 172 by early summer 2018 and bounced around between there are 178 for a while, but the combination of a job change that drastically…

Come join this keto group: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1143-keto I've been in and out of that group for close to 3 years and still find myself learning new things from it.

Inability to listen. For example, if you specifically ask me "do you like this particular food item?" and I respond that I very much dislike it and do not eat it, do not then cook it for me 2 days later and be upset that I do not want it. Looks for validation and praise every time he does basic tasks like washing dishes,…

Hey, 40 here, thinking I *may* have posted in here when I was previously active in the forums a couple of years ago, but not entirely sure. Got myself back on track a couple of weeks ago and remembered how much I liked the accountability of actually interacting with people here. Glad to add new friends and hope to try to…

JANUARY 2021 Friday 1/1: 194.9 Sunday 1/3 Sunday 1/10 Sunday 1/17 Sunday 1/24 Sunday 1/31 End of January goal 189.9 Long term goal 160 Starting this year up 8.5 pounds from 1/1/20, but I'm looking forward to watching it go in the right direction again.

Sunday 12/20 197.9 Sunday 12/27 195.5 -2.4 lb Thursday 12/31 194.9 -0.6 So, down 3 in the less than 2 weeks since I decided to get serious again. Guess I can't complain too much about that, even if I ended the year up 8.5 lbs up from the beginning of 2020.

This one's been amusing me - makes the chaos of my job and house almost seem boring.

This year... best - pictures where my boys actually cooperated and posed together and smiled, taken/printed/framed by their dad and soon-to-be stepmom worst - probably my mom's interpretation of "I just want a plain, simple terrycloth bathrobe", which turned out to be "neon blue, floor length robe that's way too big…

Started working towards getting back to keto yet again about a week ago...hopefully this time to stay. Sunday 12/20 197.9 Sunday 12/27 195.5 -2.4 lb Thursday 12/31

Been a while since I posted in this forum, but...hello!

Hello again, old friends and a bunch of new ones! I did well here in 2018, losing just under 40 pounds while on keto, starting right at 210 lbs. Last year was a whirlwind of a divorce and a major job change where I went from 12+ hours on my feet every shift to anywhere from 40-60 hours a week at a desk or in the car. I…

Thanks @tams_89 - I love it and have been struggling to keep myself from buying it in at least one more color, because it fits so nicely but was only a whopping $22. I ordered it online fully prepared for it to be a piece of junk that would immediately be returned, but was very pleasantly surprised. :joy:

On the other extreme end of the experience, the only places I have felt any pain at all during my sessions were small spots right at the tip of my shoulder and across the end of my collarbone that are heavily shaded. I generally find that for me it’s just a vaguely annoying buzzing sensation (and one that, for some reason,…
