Read, learn a new hobby, take an online course

Sounds fun! Start: 226 Goal: 206 W1 8/4: W2 8/11: W3 8/18: W4 8/25: W5 9/1: W6 9/8: W7 9/15: W8 9/22: W9 9/29: W10 10/6: W11 10/13: W12 10/20: W13 10/27: W14 11/3: W15 11/10: W16 11/17: W17 11/24: Final!!!! 12/1: Total loss: What I've learned about myself:

Brown edge wafers (I think Nabisco?)

No special foods or issues after mine, although eating fried foods in general, as a treat, does a number on me now.

I take mine to work. since it's an hour commute, it has time for the chill to wear off but not get too warm.

Drinking coffee and working on my novel. well, trying to at least.

Absolutely serious - i use heavy cream. I need very little to make it creamy and i just add to my daily caloric intake. 29 calories for 1 tablespoon. I tried the non-dairy creamers and skim milk and I wind up using more or being very unsatisfied with the non-creaminess of my coffee. I don't use any sugar at all so it's…

Thanks, I'm in!

I focus on calorie deficit, but i have noticed that by lowering my carbs (specifically breads and pastas, not fruit or veggie carbs), my joints aren't as inflamed, including my knee. After a week with a focus on meats, veggies/fruits, and fats with only perhaps one bread/pasta per day, my knee inflammation reduced…

yes...it's difficult but not impossible. for me, i find it hard to exercise because im depressed (even though i know it will help) or my anxiety is kicking my *kitten* that day. I'm an all or nothing person as well so forgetting to do one thing, like packing my meals for the day, can throw me off.

hi feel free to add me...i know the feeling, but with a little consistency it will happen!

I'm on wellbutrin as well and it helped me (mostly because of the mood stabilization and increased ability to focus). I didnt notice any gains.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? NO Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES I had such a bad headache when i got home (it's been ongoing for about 5 days), I just ate whatever i could get which was McDonald's :( I couldnt even think about anything…

Exercise - two 15 minute walks (did a 5k yesterday - needed something gentle on my body today) calories - under goal tracked all food and drink - yes B)

Me 26 LNS: 3 One more night!

"By the way, everyone here should consider themselves a runner no matter how fast or slow they are(unless you find a dead body- then you're a mere jogger)." I literally choked on my water laughing at this. Hi new to the challenge. Finished a 5k today (16 minute mile pace). it was my first race since 2016 when i suffered…

I'm new to this group. I lost 35 lbs in 2016 training for a triathlon but suffered a TIA one month later and really had a lot of emotional issues after that. I've been on and off with my dedication until July 1 this year. So far, I'm down 10 lbs as of August 31 (5 since rejoining MFP). I weigh in and take measurements once…

Me: 23 LNS: 2

Sounds like fun. It's a lofty goal, but anything is better than nothing!

I looked at it more as someone actively going after their goals. Yes, it can apply to men, but women often face different challenges as a whole. I am taking charge of my life - working on finding a new job, writing a novel, getting more publications and speaking engagements, volunteering, working out etc. I like being a…

Fall is fun because it's easier to run outside and I like the Halloween decorations. January and February are brutal. I just want to cozy up, eat, and drink. Trying to find new ways to get out when it's cold - new activities, like ice skating. I'm going to hang up a "motivating dress" for something to shoot for - so over…

You can do this. Track your food (a food scale is a great investment). Don't eat too little either - you need to fuel your body. Lean meats (if you're not vegetarian), veggies and fruits, with moderate amounts of fat is a great place to start. Explore what works for you. Move when you can - do something you like to do.…

Out to lose a lot, just not my sanity (what's left of it). Feel free to add me all!

Coffee. Petting my cats.

Me: 4 LNS: 1 Still holding at only one night!

o0o0o0o I was so tempted when i got up in the middle of last night to snack (2am snacks are sneaky because who remembers eating in the middle of the night?). So far Me: 2; LNS 1

Not a cosplayer (I have no abilities in that area!) but love LOTR, Marvel (Sebastian Stan OMG), Star Trek, Star Wars, and Harry Potter. Looking to lose weight and gain some muscle - I want to do another triathlon and try a Spartan Race. Would love some people to connect with.
