Sitting at the airport coming back from a conference and I am pleased to report I NAILED my goal!!!! Stayed within reasonable range of calorie targets every day while traveling this past week - ate grocery store food most of the time with only one night out for dinner. I didn’t set an exercise goal but I managed to go out…

Hang in there @cayenne_007 ! I had my IUD for 10 years and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! The intense initial pain will calm down soon, and cramps with your period might be worse for the first few months but your body should eventually settle with it. It's definitely worth it!!!

For managing stress eating - the best thing that works for me is pre-tracking and pre-making my meals and snacks... that way when I need something to "reach for" it is already there and worked into my targets

Thanks! I use "Happy Scale" app which I read about in MFP boards here... I love it

I went to PiYo class this morning for 45 minutes, then a 3+ hour (Probably 6.6 miles?) hike that was in an absolutely gorgeous river valley nature preserve. Enjoying the last warm days to the max before winter!

I'm in too! This is great, I'm in a couple other groups but there seem to be a lot more active people here. And 12 weeks will be perfect to get through the holidays. I love reading posts to hear what other people are working on... HW: 170s maybe 180-ish (10yrs or so ago, didn't have a scale) SW Starting MFP in May: 154.0…

Added you! We're about similar height and weight ranges. Keep up the good work, sounds like you have some great momentum

@mrsjar5311 don't give up! It seems like your expectations are set quite high and this, in my experience anyway, leads ultimately to discouragement. Instead of giving up, maybe adjust some of your expectations to fit your life in a realistic way. Those types of goals are usually slower than we might want but I have found…

@cayenne_007 Way to get past the temptation to give up and get back on track! It's a great feeling to get back to normal and re-center, oh well what the scale says!

@l4a_p : I also vote be kind to yourself! Self love is unconditional, don't hang it on missing your goals! It's hard to be neutral when we miss a target but try and neutralize the negative you're putting on yourself, you don't deserve that no matter what. Maybe you have different goals for restaurant days and…
