Good to know! A hello/note on this thread would be helpful though!

A lot of spammers have been adding me, so if you are adding me from this post, pls include a note!! Happy to have new friends!

I’m coming up on 30 days of daily logging and i am in it for the long haul!

Looking for more veg friends with open diaries! It is definitely helping me seeing food options & cheering each other on!

Excited to have you folks as new friends, thanks for adding me!

Hey Sue, I’m in the same boat as you. i was working with a trainer prior to our lockdown, but gained all the weight and then some back. I’m in california, sounds like we have similar goals!

Amazing progress you’ve made so far! Glad you added me! Let’s keep going!

Thank you for leading us all with positive change and setting intentions!

Hi everyone! I knew it would work -- setting a timer for 2 hrs every day (and really great audiobooks I look forward to listening to while working) got me in motion to the point where I could sit down and work for longer periods of time! I finished the challenging part of my project, now I need to refine what I've already…

You're all so inspiring! We moved out of our house of 13 years this year so I got rid of a LOT then, but I know there's always more to do! I'm going to take your small-projects approach and just try to spend a few minutes each day thinking about it - going through neglected or untidy corners! - - - I am not sure if this…

I lost a lot of weight using MFP a few years ago, but developed a medical condition in the years i was maintaining my weight, and then depression, and then exhaustion. It's so much harder losing weight that you've put back on because with it comes the mentality that it's only a matter of time before you fail again or life…

how wonderful! what are you planning on making?

thank you for tagging me and checking in! i've had a lot going on the past few days (a big party, family in from out of town, and some illness) but i'm back on the water train and back on my healthy goals.

@themedalist I've quit coffee before, and switched to decaf before, and I do it all the time! Once you wean yourself off the habit, you start to recognize when you're not feeling like yourself re: anxiety and restlessness due to caffeine! I support you!! (And decaf tastes the same and still has a little caffeine, so great…

Ok, I love salad so I'm your girl! I just discovered this dressing and it's fantastic: https://www.litehousefoods.com/products/tzatziki-ranch-greek-yogurt-dressing Absolutely no taste sacrifice.

Yay! I'm excited to get going on another month with you all. I'm going to aim smaller this time with a few tiny goals: My goal for this month -- This November: * When I wake up, I will pour myself a glass of water. * When (or before!) I turn on the television, I will set up my paints. * When I lie down to sleep, I will…

Thank you! I feel like the reward is working day by day toward a life I want to live, and that is actually reward enough! And I like crossing things off a to do list :) A chart / graph could be a really helpful reminder of the goals i'm working toward, too- Is there a program or spreadsheet you use?

it's helpful just to keep it on my to do list, as it reminds me to enjoy small things and notice the world around me. please totally steal it! I wish all people had this as a goal -- people might be kinder to each other.

Hi everyone! I love reading about how you all are doing. I agree, @themedalist, if it was easy, it wouldn't be a goal! The point is to stretch ourselves and grow, right? My two hour timer has been working out really well this week. Also - the other day I was feeling really unmotivated, and it helped me to think of it as 8…

MONDAY TO DO LIST: (✅) hydrate! 64 oz a day (✅) read a line in a book -- and audio booked for hours! (✅) time myself at work for 2 hrs to stay focused without interruption (trying to work on regaining my longterm focus) (✅) eat a fresh veggie! (and ideally 5) ✅ be healthy - logged, hydrated, exercised ✅ be mindul at work ❌…

My role is a little different. I'll share info if and when I can! Happy to say that I've been nailing my 2 hour goal these past couple days! It's been feeling really good to ramp up my productivity. Thank you all for the inspiration!! @77tes What an exciting find! What will you make?

Sunday goals check in: (✅) hydrate! 64 oz a day -- DONE lots of herbal tea today (✅) read a line in a book -- DONE, and audio booked while working, too! (✅) time myself at work for 2 hrs -- DONE and i really enjoyed making progress! (✅) eat a fresh veggie! (and ideally 5) -- DONE went to the farmers market and made a fresh…

No harm in trying to change your routine to see if it's an improvement! You can always try for a week and decide it doesn't work for you (Though definitely don't skip your meal either way, you need the fuel) I have totally felt like what you are describing where you are so exhausted you need a nap. Have you had your…

Vegetarian friends who are logging every day? Add me!

What a worthy goal! Love this. How's your hydration been? sometimes that's all it is for me - i get dehydrated, eat salty food, and boom -- my weight is up -- sometimes as much as 4 lbs in a single day! it can be hormonal, too. try to hydrate and keep logging and it'll come down again! Meanwhile just want to say I really…

Me too! It's great there are so many of them on Youtube now.

This is exactly what I needed to read -- thank you! If I don't have a solid block of two hours in my day (or it gets interrupted), I feel stressed about my project. and it's been keeping me up at night. Maybe if I aspire to do as many 15 minute blocks as i can (with a hopeful minimum of 2 hrs), then I can still feel i…

thank you so much!! Oh man, digital decluttering is so important - and neglected by us all! what a great project!

that sounds good! i'm working on a book -- and i can't share the details, but i am about half way finished, which means i'm behind. part of my challenge in making progress is i haven't been able to accurately estimate the amount of time i am spending on each page. today i'm starting a new page. my plan is to set a timer…

what a transformation!! you're doing an amazing job!
