@jamcnewman I can help to set up May.

Apr 21 Logged, over, no exercise. I don't really have a workout routine. Once our pool is open, that becomes my daily exercise. Reading through these posts has made me realize I could really use a routine. Idk, I'm always striving to keep my energy up, cook & eat healthily, keep the house tidy and clean, ensure I look…

Simple is good. I'm a proponent of having ppl volunteer for content creator should someone have an interest. I think it fosters community; it's been nice getting to know one another. I dont think it needs to be a formal thing that requires each day to be filled however. Just if someone would like to, have at it. A lot of…

Now that's a great tip for me @deskjockey925, I am going to try that. Also like the meme 😄 Apr 20, logged but no exercise and over.

@StayFITTer interesting opener, ty for sharing. I'll have to spend some time on today's posts and recommendations. Apr 19, Tracked, exercised, over.

So sorry you're ailing 😪 I hope things turn around for you. Please keep checking in though, so we'll know how you are. Hugs, Jana

@donna25trinity I made those meatballs from Skinnytaste that you mentioned on Apr 11. They were relatively quick to make using your tip of browning them in the oven. I doubled the recipe and the size of the meatballs (1/4 cup size meatballs). I also did half lean beef & half extra lean beef as I really dislike the flavour…

Apr 18 Logged today but over and no exercise. I seem to save higher calorie suppers for weekends and am able to eat less throughout the day. I'm not sure why I can manage it on the weekend but not during the working weekday - perhaps because I'm more tired throughout the week and not as effective at exercising self…

Apr 17 Tracked but went over, didn't exercise today. My Mother used to do a Spring and a Fall cleaning which was quite the ordeal, moving furniture in each room and cleaning carpets, washing walls, all surfaces inside of cupboards/closets etc.; mind you she was a stay-at-home parent. I'm more of a clean-as-you-go. I do my…

Sorry to hear about your issues with hyperparathryoidism @ideas2 . I bet you're relieved the surgery is behind you. I'm sure the 16-hour drive added to your stress also. Happy to hear it appeared to be a great success. Be kind to yourself as you recover! Hugs, Jana

Awesome NSVs, congrats to all! Apr 16: Tracked and I only went over by the cranberry juice. That's an improvement over Friday and Saturday so I'll consider today a success. However I didnt exercise today: I had a bad night and the day was busy: hosted a brunch for our daughter before we went to a musical play. The recipe I…

Apr 15 Exercise ✅️, Tracked ✅️ Calories ❎️ I have a UTI and Im allowing myself to go over drinking cranberry juice. However, Ive been using that as an excuse to eat some junk food and am going excessively over. My NSV: blazers are fitting better through the chest/upper back area.

Good morning IsraaQ & welcome. To add a friend, on my Android and older version of MFP, I hit the 3 horizontal lines on the bottom right with the word 'More' underneath. Then press 'Friends' on the menu. Once in that menu, I have a little person icon with a plus sign on the top right, tap that and then select 'Email' and…

Happy Bithday @jamcnewman, wishing you the best in the coming year 🎈🎁 Apr 14 Didn't stick to the calorie budget today. Was going to go over due to drinking cranberry juice for a UTI so I used it as an excuse to have an excessive treat. The sad part is I oredered 2, so I'll see how I handle that.

Ty @deskjockey925 for sharing! I'm going to take some time to fully absorb and apply the article's advice in the upcoming weeks. Apr 13 ✅️ ✅️ ✅️

Apr 12 ✅️✅️✅️ Trying to do a minimum 20 minutes daily exercise is my challenge atm. I struggle with insomnia and some nights I'll head upstairs right after supper. This allows me enough broken up sleeping hours to function at my job. I'm somewhat surprised how difficult the 20 minutes has been. Working from home was good…

Apr 11, Logged, Exercised, & stayed within calorie budget. Tried something new: went to a track at our neighbourhood high school and walked with interval jogging. I've been trying to go easy on my knees and have avoided stair climbing and jogging but I just really wanted to get outside and get some endorphins flowing. (I…

Happy 1 yr anniversary @CarolAnnM2 and good luck on your recovery after your surgery. I had my gallbladder removed (emergency) Christmas 2020 - right in the thick of another round of rising Covid cases: hospitals were short-staffed and over capacity. All went well. I did okay on maintaining but then slowly I started to…

Apr 8 ✅️ ✅️ ✅️ Sorry to hear about your ankle @LazyBlondeChef 😢

Happy Easter UAC pals! It's easy to feel deprived as others are feasting on holiday meals and easter sweets. It's the time when we need to dig deeply and remember our reasons for doing this. And even if we do give in and fall off our plan, remember that one bad meal, day, etc. doesn't need to be an excuse to turn it into a…

Surgery is always stressful; such a relief once home. Happy recovery!

@deskjockey925 Love the bingo, ty for sharing! ❤️ I like how it works in your mental health as well: relaxation, social connection etc. I'm excited for the challenge! Apr 6, ✅️ ❎️ ❎️ Although it was a pass day, there were some significant wins. Apparently this new place of employment does Easter big: candy filled eggs left…

Apr 5 ✅️ ✅️ ✅️ Sadly I was finding it hard to work 20 minutes of stationary bike riding into my day. But today wasn't too bad. Along the lines of what was suggested in today's opener, I was trying to get 5 minutes done before work in the morning to make it easier at night when I'm tired. When I was working from home I used…

I have a pretty good idea of what I can eat in order to maintain. But I really enjoy eating and cooking, and over time my portion sizes tend to increase 😱. However I'm not very good with knowing what constitutes 1400 calories per day (which is what I need to maintain in order to lose weight). Tracking for me =…
