@jugar can I change my weigh-in day for Wednesday, to coincide with my new programme? Thanks Done my workout for today, hard work, especially since my legs are sore from 2 days ago! But feeling good :) have a great day!

@jugar I did one perfect day! With your voice in my head. Logged everything that entered my mouth. Made decent choices and ended the day with 3kcals to spare. I also went for a 5k run although my speed is still very slow (took 40 mins) with no signs of speeding up. But I'm not complaining, it burns the same amount of…

Hi I'm Pearl, 38 and been with MFP for 2 years. I am a busy mum and studying for my second career. I've lost a nice amount of weight in my first year on MFP but then regained half over the last year. I never made it close to goal so still a long way to go. I've recommitted to logging this month after a long hiatus and also…

So today I have officially joined this program I mentioned before. I've done the first workout which was legs & abs 30 minutes. It was ok but I was very sweaty. Now need to commit to logging food again and stick to it! Wish me luck.

Friday weigh-in PW 87.6 CW 88.4 Why is this so hard?

This! I could have written this exact same thing! Can't moyrivate myself. I buy very little for myself too and if I really want something, I'll just get it. Urgh. Wish I could play these mind games to 'reward myself'. Anyway, rant over.

@jugar my starting weight for this weight loss bout was 92kg.

Good morning! It is lightly snowing here! It won't settle, it's too light. Not sure how that will affect my runs. On another note, I signed up for a 12 week fitness program. It was supposed to start on 4/01 but I deferred for Feb as I didn't think I could do it with homeschooling. But alas, Feb is nearly here and we are…

Friday weigh-in PW 87.6 CW 87.6 Haven't been that great with food so I'm happy there is no gain.

@conleywoods those pictures are amazing! You're beautiful in both, but the progress is outstanding! Your eyes look so much bigger!

Friday weigh-in PW 88.2 CW 87.6 Very happy considering I was aiming to maintain. I hope I can keep this up. My head hasn't been in it. Did manage 2 runs this week, which felt good!

Friday weigh-in PW 87.9 CW 88.2 I'm stuck in a rut :'(

Hi all I'm Pearl , almost 39 and been on this group on and off for awhile. I am always very very busy with family and studies (currently working on a new career in mental health) and often put myself and my food last. I tend to be really good for a few weeks but then something throws me off and I find it very hard to get…

@micki48 how very true. It is all about choice and I'm currently not making good choices. I find it hard to get back 'in the zone' where I'm really good with logging etc and sometimes can do well for awhile just eyeballing and going with my gut. But it tends to come back to bite me so I think it might be time to start…

Friday weigh-in PW 86.9 CW 87.9 No surprises. Just got to get out of this rut. Which I know, for me, can take weeks/months :# Sorry I am not very active on here, wish I could say I'll try harder but being realistic, it's unlikely to happen. I'm reading your posts though and finding them motivating/inspirational so thank…

It's going down! You're doing it!

Friday weigh-in PW: 87 CW: 86.9 It is what it is. Happy holidays everyone!

Friday weigh-in PW 86 CW 87 No surprises. I ate my emotions this week and did not work out. My biggest fear is getting stuck in a funk for weeks/months as I find it very hard to climb out of. I hope I can get back on quickly, before I undo all my hard work.

Sorry I've been MIA and missed the zoom call. Maybe next time...

Friday weigh-in PW 86.4 CW 86 Sorry been MIA. Just very very busy and trying to stay on track. Not logging currently, just eating mindfully ( and trying not to snack) which seems to give me more consistently, regular losses but no big wooshes.

Friday weigh-in PW 86.9 kg CW 86.4 kg Very happy Sorry I'm not contributing much, life is crazy busy as usual. Bit I do get a lot of motivation/inspiration from reading all your posts! Have a lovely weekend everyone <3

Hi friends I am a 38y old busy mom, youngest is 2.5 and keeping me busy. I live in the UK. I'm also a student working towards my hopefully second career in mental health (very stressful). I've been overweight my whole adult life and battled weight loss up and down. This time hopefully for good. I've been with waistaway…

Speaking of leftovers. Leftover chicken salad with tahini dressing. I added pickles, shallots, tomatoes and craisins

Friday weigh-in PW 87.3 CW 86.9 Pretty pleased with this loss, considering I indulged 3 days out of 7. Ran C25K 3 times this week so I think that might have just tipped it in my favour.

This is amazing! So pleased for you.

Well done, keep it up!

Friday weigh-in PW 87.4 kg CW 87.3 kg Not a loss really but not a gain either.

Did my 5K run. I thought I couldn't improve on my time by somehow got it down to 36 minutes. Feeling good... I weighed in yesterday and clocked a good loss but then this morning it's up by more than a kg. Grr, it's so frustrating. I know it's probably water weight (too much salty sushi) but still frustrating.

Woohoo! It's going down! That's all that matters!
