Hi all. Been on and off of MFP for years. Have lost a total of 130lbs over the years. Going for the final push and starting a weight lifting journey. Looking for friends to fill my feed with motivation and hopefully be that for others! Please add me!

Hi all. I'm coming in to say goodbye. The past 15 months in this group have been invaluable to me. Thank you to everyone for all the encouragement, laughs, recipes, pick me ups, and everything else. I wouldn't have made it this far without everyone here. I'm not stopping or anything, it's just time for a change. Goodbye,…

Don't give up what you REALLY want for what you want right now.

Whoops you're right! Habit from the past I guess. Should say 156.8. Our zoo takes about 30mins to get to. It's possible to make a whole day trip out of it due to how big it is, which we do a lot, but the nice thing about having a yearly membership is being able to do short trips too and see different things each time.

Tazaria87 Saturday PW 256.0 CW 256.8 Not really sure what's going on with weigh in. Maybe because TOM is ending? Or the big losses of the last two weeks catching up with me? Hopefully next week will be better. Yesterday we went to the zoo for an impromptu visit. We just stayed a couple hours and let my son decide what we…

Good morning all. Today makes three days in a row of getting up early and meeting dad to walk at the lake. Unfortunately a cold front is coming so we aren't planning on doing it again tomorrow. Elliptical or dance video will work though. We've been having some yummy food creations this week, trying to use stuff from the…

This probably isn't really what you meant but this was the view that greeted me when I left my house before 6 am to walk with dad. That bright light is the moon. I thought it looked cool.

Yesterday was a fun day for the family. At the time I posted my weigh in, we were watching a football game for our local team. After that we ate lunch and got ready to leave for a trick or treat event at a campground. My parents signed up to decorate their camper and hand out candy (which they did last year too). There…

It's called Inc Dance Fit

@lindamtuck2018 Thank you for reminding me of my dance video goal I had started last year. The channel I was using has been posting new videos all this time so I've got lots to catch up on haha. I chose one yesterday to do, to pick up where I left off, and it felt great to be dancing again. It was 36mins, and ended up…

You could also cube up the squash, parboil it and saute it in a pan

That was me! I started doing dance videos last winter cuz my daughter (age 2 at the time) didn't like the cold and I stopped walking outside with her. I was trying a new video every day, starting with the oldest, and saving the ones I liked! I stopped doing the videos though, when the weather got warm again.

Hi all. Still feeling good and sticking to my daily goals. Dad and I met early yesterday morning again and did our 3 mile walk at the lake again. I think he's travelling for the rest of the week now so it won't be an option for a few days but it felt good to be out there again. We've gone three times in the last four days.…

Tazaria87 Saturday PW 165.0 lbs CW 159.8 lbs LTD 163.2 lbs Happy with weigh in today obviously. Part of the weight gain gone again! @lindamtuck2018 It's funny you asked about walking with my family. We hadn't been walking for the past month because dad started travelling a lot and then we were both struggling (though we…

Hey all. This week has been going great food wise so far. I physically feel better already which is nice. The bloated feeling is mostly gone and my clothes are more comfortable again. Curious to see the scale on Saturday. I haven't gotten back into working out again yet. I need to find the best time to do one. My day is so…

Hi all. So my planned absence turned into a not so planned absence and I've been gone for longer than I meant to be. But, I'd like to come back now. I've been doing a lot of self reflection for the past few days and have come to some realizations. So first, we got some terrible news about my Uncle. He went to the doctor…

@lindamtuck2018 @Megan_smartiepants1970 I'm sorry, I need to be excused from steps and weigh in for the week. I'm drowning in everything I have going on right now and I need a break somewhere. I'm hoping a little diet break will also help me refocus and then get to goal in October. I've been so close for so long.

Hi guys. This has week has been stressful. This cold has really affected my energy levels and is lasting forever, my son has croup, and I've been trying to battle my cold while also finalizing things for the sale all week. Drop off was on Friday though, so that's all done. I ended up with almost 300 hangers worth of…

Tazaria87 Saturday PW 150.8 CW 149.6 LTD 173.4 lbs I'll post my steps for the week later, don't have time to look them up right now. Wanted to get weigh in posted though!

Hey guys, I don't quite have the energy for a full check in. I've been hit pretty hard with a head cold. Went to the zoo over this vacation weekend. It was busy but fun. Steps 9/5 5133 9/6 9137

That post is suppose to say 9/3, sorry. 9/2 was 9011. I'm done with 9/4 now and it is 4558.

Tazaria87 Saturday PW 153.4 CW 150.8 LTD 172.2lbs 9/4 Tracked Yes Under Calorie Yes Water 70oz Steps 12590 Met Dad for an early walk as he got back from his work travel the night before. Then Friday is always grocery shopping day so that was next on the agenda. The weather is really starting to get on my nerves, it won't…

8/31-9/1 Tracked Yes Under Calorie Yes Water 81oz/83oz Steps 9055 / 16111 Tuesday morning I was suppose to meet dad at the lake for our early walk but it was storming when my alarm went off so no such luck. Got my kids off to school and decided to use the elliptical instead. 17min in and I get a call from the preschool…

I do have measurements from when I started and a few times along the way. I haven't taken them recently though.

8/30 Tracked Yes Under Calorie Yes Water 81oz Steps 13683 Got up early and met my parents at the lake for the 3mile loop. Won't be able to do it every day like last week though, dad is traveling for work the rest of this week. Had a NSV when I got dressed after the walk and put on a pair of capri's that were too tight a…

8/29 Tracked Yes Under Calorie Yes Water 91oz Steps 1999 Should have just done one more step I guess lol. We got up in the morning, fed the kids breakfast, and then drove the 90mins back home from the camper. The rest of the day was just a nice family day at home, playing games, cooking meals, with lots of cuddles.

8/28 Tracked Yes Under Calorie Yes Water 86oz Steps 6168 After we all got up for the day, the kids and I drove out to where my parents were camping to enjoy the outdoors. The campground had a fantastic playground the kids were obsessed with so we went there three different times over the course of the day. There was a big…

Tazaria87 Saturday PW 152.6 CW 153.4 Was definitely disappointed about weigh in this morning considering all the steps I've gotten this week. Maybe I'm retaining water from all the heat and extra activity? It feels like I'll never get to goal. Steps 8/27 14683
