Ugh! That scale hates me!! Yesterday, up a pound and a half; today, down that same pound and a half. I will not give up! @MommaGemz LOL! I tried the neighborhood scavenger hunt with the grands. Same results as you - I had fun, but they did not. As for your crunches, I had a website I went to all the time - great abs…

And this is why I adore this group! ❤️ Everyone is so positive, helpful, and encouraging! I teach science and math - mostly physics and calculus and whatever else along those lines. I teach at a private school and absolutely love my students and coworkers. But, kids being kids, the mask issue is going to try our patience,…

Happy Monday! Welcome, @kcd394 ! So happy to have you join us. I think we all started as you did - looking for support on this journey to better health - and we found the wonderful @MommaGemz . Feeling a bit overwhelmed today by lots of stuff (beyond my control - and I am a control freak!) going on around me. The one thing…

@thelastnightingale I definitely feel less sluggish when I cut back on carbs. I had reduced my bread consumption (one of my trigger foods), but gradually started with a slice here and another there. Not good for me. Now I have to go through the adjustment process, again! Ugh! So easy to fall off the wagon, so hard to get…

Good morning! @MommaGemz You are off to a great start with your family stay-cation! I am seriously impressed that you are not only staying faithful to your exercise plan, but you have added crunches to it! Wow! Enjoy the rest of your week! @clutterqueen LOL! I do the same when riding my stationary bike - I watch a show my…

@clutterqueen Goodness, it's no wonder you're stress-eating! I know where you're coming from - different stressors, but the same reaction - grabbing food! MommaGemz and her posts have been a life-preserver in this covid storm. We're all here to help one another! 💕
-
@MommaGemz Great idea! It might be just what you need, physically and mentally. You go full-steam everyday. Plan some major relaxation time for everybody. Have fun!
-
I think I sabotage myself! Today, I swam for 2+ hours. I was famished when I got out of the pool. Just then, SIL called, so we talked. As we talked, I aimlessly ate ALL of the snacks left over from yesterday. And they didn't even taste good! I think I need a couple of mental reset days - protein drinks!
-
FINALLY! 186.5 lbs What a struggle to get that scale to budge. I was whining to myself about my slooooooow progress, but then I did the math. 40 days ago I began this journey to better over-all health. That's just under six weeks. One pound a week is six pounds. I've lost 7.5, so I'm doing okay! I started at 194 and my…

@METALforCHRIST You are doing an awesome job! Keep moving (I might actually get up off my rump today and move, too!). Thank you for posting - you really do help keep others (including me) stay motivated. You are the kick in the pants I needed. Thank you!!
-
@MommaGemz Congratulations on breaking 187! I'm STUCK there for a couple of weeks now. I think I need to cut back on carbs. Last weekend really threw me off and I always have a difficult time getting back on track. Oh my - that dinner looks delicious! I was thinking of making a shrimp dish for dinner today. I usually make…

@MomnaGemz Stay safe as this hurricane passes through! Our daughter and her family live in Hawaii. Keeping our fingers crossed for their safety, too.
-
@MommaGemz Several times I’ve been told to track my measurements, rather than just relying on the scale ( which can be a fickle friend!). I have yet to do that, but even though the scale is budging ever so slowly, my clothes fit better. Have you tried that route? And you are very right - this is a lifestyle, not a goal!
-
@MommaGemz Do you do riced cauliflower? I’m not a fan of cooked cauliflower (unless it’s covered in cheese sauce!), but I’ve heard that riced cauliflower is good. Any recipes to recommend?? 😊
-
Good morning, All! I am confessing that I did not record food for the past three days. Hosted our granddaughter's birthday pool party (she's turning 8) on Saturday and continued the fun on Sunday. While I did eat more than I usually do, each day I hit the ground running early and didn't stop until late night. Both days…
-
Ditto! I lost over 100 lbs about 7 years ago. Gained 50. Having a difficult time with self-loathing. Have been back at MFP for 4 weeks and have lost 6.5 lbs. Slow going, but at least the scale is going down. Definitely in need of a support group!!
-
@MommaGemz Oh my, that looks delicious!! I'm glad your day turned out better in the end. Too much stress going on in the world! Here's to a better tomorrow for everyone!
-
@MommaGemz LOL! How true! Hubby and I were just discussing this - what the heck happened to us? I was baking (and eating) goodies at least once a week! Combine that with 12-hour days of planning and teaching lessons on-line (I'm a high school teacher) and we both look like we just came out of the dryer fluff cycle! I try…
-
@MommaGemz Hoping tomorrow is a better day for you! That corn looks delicious. We don't have much to choose from, yet, up here in the northeast. I was really craving it today, but what was at the supermarket wasn't worth the price.
-
@MommaGemz. You ROCK! I just may have to test your theory about upping calorie intake. We have almost the same stats and my weight loss is painfully slow! Hey - what have I got to lose - other than 30 lbs?! 😂
-
That soup your son made sounds delicious! I love a good veggie soup. Hubby and I are lucky that the house we bought already has a pool. I'm in it every chance I get, but living in PA, the swim season is short. But, living in PA, we're either swimming, mowing the lawn, or shoveling snow! Year-round exercise! Thank you for…
-
After 16 days back on MFP, I am down 4.0 lbs! 30 more to go. Another hot day today, so back into the pool. Other than mowing the lawn, swimming is the only exercise I get. Here's to a great day for everyone! 💕
-
@MommaGemz What a woman of beauty and dignity you are! You have had so many ups and downs lately, and you have handled them with such strength. You have provided a comfortable place on MFP for all of us to safely share our own struggles and victories. THANK YOU! Prayers that today is a bit more relaxed and…
-
@MommaGemz Thank you! I did okay so far, and even swam for over an hour! I wish I had your motivation to walk, though!
-
Ugh! Today is one of those days. I didn't sleep well last night and I'm grumpy and just want to eat pancakes! But, if I don't make them, I can't eat them, so eggs it is! Have a great Sunday!!
-
@MommaGemz I truly appreciate your dedication to walking. I really need to get back into it. On the plus side, I love my stationary bike. On days I don’t swim, I usually jump on it and peddle away while doing laundry. Mine runs different programs, so at least there’s a little variety. Have fun!
-
Happy Saturday! Wishing a great weekend for all!
-
@MommaGemz Thank you! I can wait to get back into the 180's. Currently 191.
-
Down 3 pounds! 31 to go.
-
Down 3 pounds this week! 31 to go. First week back on program. Sticking to 1000 calories is a challenge. I'm more towards 1100. Trying to get in exercise a few times a week - and I hate to exercise! 😂 One day at a time, one meal at a time. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy weekend! Sue
