Ugh...I know the feeling...menopause is tough! It's really hard to figure out what works and what doesn't. The one thing I find is watching my carb intake...I don't workout hard enough to burn extra carbs so therefore they turn to sugar and that turns to belly fat! Also when you research how many actually calories you…

Happy September everyone! I think I missed posting last week but funny enough I maintained the same weight lol I’m setting a 6 week goal to lose 10-12lbs by October 17 as that’s when I go to have blood drawn for my blood sugar which was hovering at 6.0. These past couple of weeks have been challenging with bad food choices…

Hey everyone!! I hope you are all keeping well! Today is weigh-in day and honestly I wasn’t going to! I had a very stressful, mentally draining week which resulted in binge eating and 3-4 days of eating out! I thought well no sense trying to deny what happened and faced the scale and up 1lb. It wasn’t as bad as I thought!…

Hi everyone!!! Today is weigh-in day for me! Honestly it’s been a tough week emotionally and I had some real bad days regarding food choices…but what I think has helped is I’m paying attention to my carb intake and I think it’s working! I’ve got my macros set for 40% and I’m under most days even when things go astray! I’m…

Hello fellow challengers! Today is weigh-in day for me! My long range goal is to reach the 130’s and get my blood sugar into the normal range! My short term goal is to reach the 140’s by Sept 1 so here she goes!! Aug 1: 152.1 Aug 8: 151.7 Have a great week!!

TGIF all! I did a mid week weigh in and was down a pound and honestly motivated me…I hadn’t seen that number in a very, very long time!! I think this carb watching is the key for me!! Tuesday is my official weighin and will check back then!! Have a great weekend!!!

Hello right back!!!

Hello all from Manitoba 🇨🇦! I started this wellness journey in April 2020 and have had many ups and downs but I keep on going!! I was recently diagnosed as being pre diabetic after losing 15-20lbs so needless to say it shocked me and motivated me all at the same time!! My goal is to lose another 10-15lbs and have my blood…

Hello to all! I was here awhile ago and switched over to WW...actually, I've switched back and forth a couple of times! lol Anyhoo I was recently diagnosed as being pre-diabetic which shocked me since I had lost 20lbs and walk everyday on the treadmill and I've got about 15lbs to go. So back to MFP as I like that you can…

Hi everyone!!! I’m back for another round! Lost my motivation the last couple of rounds and watched from afar! I typically weigh in on Wednesday’s! This week my focus is reducing my sugar intake!! SW 167 GW under 140

Weigh-in day for me!!! Feb 2 - did not weigh Feb 9 - 166 Feb 16 - 167.3 Feb 23 - 167.1 Challenge goal: 155 UGW: 140ish I had some good days with my food choices and some good days with my exercising! My goal this week is to stay consistently good with food and exercise!! Cheers to another week!!

Good morning!! I promised myself that I would be accountable and share every Wednesday so here I go!! Feb 9 166 Feb 16 167.3 The good news is I've continued with the treadmill and starting next week I will add in walking at the indoor track with my good friend at our local gym! I realized that I need to burn more calories…

I'm Shannon and this is my third challenge, as they say, third times a charm! I'm a little late to posting my goals for this challenge. A few excuses and denial of my lack of commitment but here I am ready to post! I had a reality check last night after figuring out the actual calories that I needed to lose weight. It was…

I'm in again...and will be much more focused! This is doable!!!! Looking forward to being a part of this amazing group!!!

Yay to engagement and new challenge!!!! Congrats!!!

I want to wish everyone a safe and healthy 2022! I don't know you all personally but I sure feel connected as we go through this journey together!!! As they say, we are all in this together!!! Thank you for inspiring me...I'm committing to removing 5lbs by the end of January!!! Cheers!!!

I like your idea...mini goals!!!

@frankwbrown great job!!! You got this!!!

@ZaraDream3 Thank you so much! I appreciate all the kind words and support! Life isn't always what we hoped it would be but we learn from it and make the best life we can with the cards we are dealt with. The chapter is closed and now it's time for me :blush:

Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind words ❤️

Thank you ❤️

Thank you so much. I appreciate the kind words ❤️

Thank you!! This is it exactly!!! ❤️

Happy Monday all!! Well, today was supposed to be my weigh-in day but I think I will take a pass...I don't think I gained or lost but it was a terrible week so today is a reset day/week! My mom who I have been estranged from for 10 years passed away and stirred up a lot of bad memories for me...we never had a relationship…

@RunDMC2021 Oh my gosh...yes the sugar!!!! That's a problem for me lol And I love how you are using MFP to identify triggers with your menopause symptoms!! That's a great idea! I'm over a year now and my symptoms are relatively mild...touch wood!!! Keep logging...we got this!!!

Hey everyone!! I have not been very successful in the first 2 challenges so I'm thinking third times a charm!!! I joined WW in April 2020 and lost 15lbs...since leaving the program I've gained a couple of pounds but haven't been totally committed to the process of losing weight and making smarter choices hence the weight…

FANTASTIC JOB!!!!!! Congrats...I love seeing these successes!!!

I'm in!!! I went the other direction our last challenge!!! Cheers to a new challenge and new friends!!!
