Apologies I'm late again Friday weigh-in CW 91

Starting weight for January CW 90.4 I'll do another intro in the new thread. In the meantime, must stay away from the chocolate chip cookies. Teenagers in the house who enjoy baking - I find it so hard to stay away from :-(

Hello 👋 Sorry I went AWOL for a bit. Can I rejoin the team from January please? CW 90.5

Cw 90.7

Friday weigh-in This is my Friday weight, just posting late. PW 89.2 CW 90 It was all going so well until ot wasn't...

PW 89.8 CW 89.2 Happy with that. A mixed week but mostly ate mindfully. Tried to listen to my body while logging calories. What I'm learning is that I don't need much in the morning. I prefer to blank calories for 4pm ish when I get the munchies. This seems to work better than pushing myself to eat a big breakfast, because…

PW 91.6 CW 89.8 It was a good week! No workouts but I logged food daily and made good choices. I know week 1 after eating all the junk always gives me a good whoosh, but hopefully I can keep up the downward trend. Went to the doctor to see if there is anything medical that can be investigated, to try and alleviate the…

Sorry late intro I'm Pearl, I'm 41 and live in the UK with husband and kids. I've been overweight/obese all of my adult life and so have most of my family. So it's hard to break out of. I had some health issues last year which have made things harder but also been quite eye opening in terms of how I want to feel as I get…

@jugar thanks for that. As a former teacher, I feel privileged to have earned a 10/10 :wink: I always remember your words, way back, when I first joined mfp- GET ONE PERFECT DAY. Well, i'm pleased to report 2 perfect days so far. I know they won't all be perfect but I'm trying to get out of my rut and into a more positive…

Friday weigh-in 91.6 Today I'm re-committing to logging my food. 'Trusting myself' or playing by eye isn't working and I've been making a lot of bad choices recently. I'm really struggling health wise. Was unwell a lot of last year, finally diagnosed with a parathyroid adenoma which messed my system up. Had surgery to…

Friday 13/10 weigh-in 89.9

Friday 6/10 CW 91.5

CW 90.8 Sorry I have been very quiet here, there is a lot going on, hopefully once things calm down a little I'll be a bit more active here. In the meantime, I'm trying to eat mindfully with mixed results. Not logging food and losing very slowly which is better than gaining but not good enough...

CW 91

CW (Friday - sorry I keep posting late) 91.3

Friday weigh-in PW 92.1 CW 90.9

Friday weigh-in CW 92.1

Friday weigh-in PW 92.2 (this was just before we left, it wasn't a Friday so didn't log it but it was the last weigh-in before we left) CW 92.5 I'll take it. I've gained overall in the last few weeks but today is a new day :-)

Hello all. Sorry I've disappeared for a bit. We went away to the lakes and I did not log or weigh in for the last 2 weeks. I hope I'm still 'here' and not been kicked off Waistaways. Otherwise @jugar please can I rejoin? We ate mostly junk meals and I was sure I would have gained some weight but I seem to actually have…

Friday weigh-in PW 91.6 CW 91.3 It's a miracle I've lost anything TBH. Food was pretty terrible and didn't log all week. But there was a lot of stress so there is that. I did try a Zumba class for the first time and that was a lot of fun and a good sweat.

I don't have premium and use the barcode scanner on my android phone all the time. Just press the X in the right top corner to close the advert... And agree with previous poster, use listings by weight to avoid ambiguous measurements.

CW 91.6 Not a good week for me. Didn't log into mfp all week and didn't log any food, ate a lot of junk. Kids are off school and it's making it hard to stick to a routine. I've only had a quick skim through posts. I seem to be the only person who's never had COVID (to my knowledge)! My food triggers are home baked goods,…

Friday weigh-in PW 91.7 CW 91.5 I would have liked a bit more but didn't make the best food choices all of the time, so that's probably the reason. I was hoping that a good swim and a toning class I went to this week would mitigate the damage but clearly not quite enough. Happy to go in the downwards direction....even if…

And I'm also on the 'I hate yoga' boat. Tried a few live classes but found it too 'boring'... So I found other ways to move. I know yoga is good for us but if we don't enjoy it, we're hardly going to stick to it, in my opinion anyway

@ashleycarole86 wow that is phenomenal!! Unbelievable achievement. I hope I can do something similar one day. A friend tried to rope me in for a marathon in September but I don't feel that is achievable for me at all. You have inspired me though to hopefully work my way towards something. Congratulations!

Friday weigh-in SW: 96 kg PW: 92.2 kg CW: 91.7 kg It was down lower at some point during the week, but happy with my loss nonetheless. Have a great week everyone and welcome all new people :smile:

Went for my swim in the pond today - cold water has an amazing effect on me, thoroughly enjoyed it and felt reinvigorated aferwards. I need to find the time to start reincorporating regular excersize into my week but ATM that is a struggle...

Finally finding a minute to introduce myself- I'm Pearl, 41 from the UK. I'm a busy mum and working as a psychotherapist. Battled with my weight as long as I can remember but last year also dealt with a mystery ailment that took me down the very stressful path of medical tests, and eventually surgery to remove a…

Friday weigh-in PW 93.3k CW 92.2k Very pleased. Didn't do much excersize but logged all my food. I've booked myself in for an open water swim on Monday in a pond not too far from me. I used to go regularly but not since COVID so a long hiatus. We'll see how that goes... Have a great weekend :smiley:

Friday weigh-in PW 93.9 CW 93.3 Still haven't got round to introducing myself properly. Been super busy. Hopefully after the weekend.
