I'm here for the fourth time. This group's motivated me a lot so far and hope it continues to do so :) @CNdukwe - that's the number I started with as well last October, and am almost at 67 now so it's certainly possible! :)

Daily post 25.03.19 Tracked Calories - 190 over. Carbs not too high, but included a sugary dessert :/ Exercise - 4km walk

Weekly weigh-in Last week: 67.7kg (149.25lb) Today: 67.3kg (148.37lb) Going slow, but at least steady.

@mram3582: wow I had no idea these two had protein and they're easy to add, thanks! :) Also I'm a slow jogger, have a long way to go ;) @Stephanie20685: thanks for the tip, it does help. I'll do Alfredo sauce next. Usually I focus too much on adding veggies to my pasta. I set my daily target to 25% protein and I'd be happy…

Question: I always fall short of the recommended daily protein intake - probably because I don't like meat/poultry/fish/eggs except when they're served with bread, rice etc, so it's an ordeal to even have scrambled eggs or chicken salad even with my favourite herbs and spices :/ I've been relying on lentil/bean soups for a…

Daily post 24.03.19 Tracked Calories - 88 calories over, went a bit over on carbs. Exercise - 7.5 km jog

Mfp does have cooking and cleaning as exercise options. I don't use them everyday, only when I have long sessions of these activities. Maybe you could use them sparingly?

Daily post 23.03.19 Tracked Calories - 264 under net. Okay on carbs. Exercise - 6.7km jog

I'd add them, but how to count calories would be tricky :/

Daily post 22.03.19 Tracked Calories - 300 over net. Okayish on carbs. Exercise - 6km walk

Daily post 21.03.19 Tracked Calories - 300 under net, but ate more carbs and ate a little late Exercise - 7km walk

Daily post 20.03.19 Tracked Calories - 150 over, but ate less carbs Exercise - 6km walk Was craving for carbs all evening and that made me cranky. Hope tomorrow is better.

Daily post 19.03.19 Tracked Calories - 64 over approx incl exercise. Ate less carbs. Exercise - 6km walk Goal for tomorrow: keep to low-carb

Thanks @Stephanie20685 and @mram3582 ! :) Daily post 18.03 Tracked Calories - 324 over Exercise - 5km walk

Daily post 17.03 Tracked Calories - over by 175 including exercise. Ate low-carb, but then had 2 beers and a piece of cake - becauseit was my birthday Exercise - 10km walk. Speed is improving and I pant less nowadays!

Weekly weigh-in Last week: 68kg (149.9lb) Today: 67.7kg (149.25lb) That's a bit of a let-down after last week, and since I worked out quite a bit over the weekend, but I think there's some water weight involved. At least it's still a loss! :)

Daily post from yesterday (16.03) Tracked Calories - under by 150 including exercise, mainly because I included calories from 2 hours of "cooking, food preparation" in my exercise. Was standing for 6 hours actually (as part of a homeless cooking/serving event), but I didn't add 6 hrs on mfp because I doubt if it's possible…

Daily post 15 March Tracked Calories - 131 under net, although went overboard on carbs Exercise - 9km walk

Daily post 14 March Tracked Calories - 412 over and lots of carbs. Breakfast just doesn't work for me. End up eating more carbs and then craving for carbs all day :/ I need to get back to my earlylunch/fruit/gooddinner routine which worked well the past months. Exercise - 6km walk

Daily post 13.03.19 Tracked Calories - 587 over. Snacked on rice crackers after dinner and brushing my teeth. And couldn't stop until I was 3/4th through the packet. Nope, too early to start keeping snacks at home. :/ Exercise- 6.5 km walk Goal for tomorrow: cut carbs.

Daily post 12 March Tracked Calories - 96 over netto (approximately) Exercise - 7 km walk Also ate before 9pm B) As for what gets me to not quit the group - mainly the positive vibes and the empathy shown here :) As for why the weight loss plan itself - keeping a target weight motivates me to eat and exercise responsibly -…

Daily post 11 March Tracked Calories - 270 over net Exercise - 4km walk

Weekly weigh-in Last week: 69.2kg (152.56lb) Today: 68kg (149.91lb) I was pretty good on the weekdays, but went overboard on calories from Friday. Still ate healthy stuff and worked out, maybe that's why I still have a good weigh-in. Anyway, this is motivation to be responsible this week.

Daily post 10 March Tracked Calories - 465 over Exercise - 37 minutes strength yoga

Daily post 09.03.19 Tracked Calories - 535 over net Exercise - 7km run+ walk

Daily post 08.03.19 Tracked Calories - 578 over including exercise :/ Was already negative in calories by late afternoon, so I decided to skip dinner because I really wasn't hungry. And then I snacked out of boredom :s Exercise- 7km walk Good news is that my appetite has gone down. Bad news is that bingeing can happen…

@mram3582 : that sounds really stressful, hope you have an answer soon, and that it's good news. Stress eating under such circumstances is totally understandable. Brushing and flossing is already brave, I wouldn't have done that on a binge day!

Daily post 07.03.19 Tracked Calories - 245 under including exercise Exercise - 8.5 km walk

Daily post 07.03.19 Tracked Calories - 74 over net. Exercise - 6km walk + 35 minutes strength yoga
