OMG, here I am, back again. Lost a week or more? to birthday celebrations etc and then next thing I knew, I was WAY off track again. 😏. Try, try again. Back to my initial goals.

Welcome @Marla86336! Happy to say, I’ve had three legitimate days since the weekend and feeling fine! Back on track, thank goodness. The days here in NJ have been glorious, much cooler, which makes getting outside and walking MUCH more attractive! Hope everyone else is feeling the positive energy of a fresh month! 💪🏻😊

I feel like I have to keep that mantra in my head… “tomorrow is a new day. tomorrow is a new day. tomorrow…”. Although being honest, it might be more like “Monday is a new week..!” Birthday and other family celebrations this weekend have thrown my eating totally off track. At THE VERY LEAST, I’m trying to walk 3 miles each…

@pizzafruit thank you for your uplifting words! You’re absolutely right; it’s too easy to let a few poor choices influence days and weeks. Let’s all start fresh each day! We got this! 💪🏻 And @sarah7591 besides the obvious things, ie no caffeine after 2pm, exercise earlier in the day not in the evening, no tv or phone…

Safe travels @BeverlyW1108! Sounds like an awesome vacation! I love those types of vacays where you come home exhausted! 😆 I’ve relaxed a bit w my food logging this weekend, but trying to at least stick to some basic guidelines and not go off rails. At the very least, I jotted down in the notes section, what I had for…

It is SO hard to move when you just don’t feel like moving… I had no reason not to go to the pool this afternoon to swim laps, but I just feel lazy today. 😏. At least my food choices were right on. Always focus on the positive. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be e in the mood to exercise. Meanwhile @healthierorbust, healing…

Welcome in, @courtneyc03! Let’s do this! I’m only two weeks in, trying to get back on the bandwagon and take off that 20 that I’ve gained in the last few years. Definitely accountability is a HUGE step in the right direction. Even when I know I’m going over, I still make an attempt at logging in my meals. Certainly the…

I love to read also, but unfortunately have to save that for vacation times, as usually it’s hard to find the time. It’s been a busy and stressful year helping aging parents and coping with loss. I do spend a lot of time in the car however and love listening to podcasts, like The Moth, Modern Love and Radio Lab. For those…

One week down and surprisingly, I feel better already! I have a bit more energy, I’m sleeping better and not waking up with stiff hands. I have no desire to weigh in. At this early stage, I just want to focus on forming good habits and reflecting on how I feel. Maybe next week I’ll step on the scale again. This week, I’ve…

Ok, Day 3 and I'm still holding accountable! I so appreciate this group allowing me to join in, thank you! For me, accountability is key. I know my weaknesses and at this point, I certainly know how I would LIKE to eat in order to stay healthy and energized, but that little devil on the other shoulder always pops up saying…

Is it too late to join in with y'all? I'm 58 and after letting myself go am back at my heaviest weight ever... :-( I know what has to be done; I've tried every diet out there and I know it comes down to better choices and moderation. However, when life throws a curve ball; everything can go loosey-goosey! lol

ugh; yeah the photo thing is a pima!! I finally uploaded a test photo yesterday, and it didn't appear in it's entirety. I would delete it, but I can't even figure out how to do that! Usually Iphone apps are more user friendly...not MFP, this one has been a real challenge.

I've done both this year. I really liked NOOM for the tracking; I normally don't like having to log every detail of what I eat, so that was an easy way for me to keep track of what kinds of foods. However, it's true the psychology aspects were pretty hokey, and the support was minimal at best. I had a very inactive group…

SAME! I’m taking this “stay at home” WAY too seriously! No, really, I go to work, and the grocery store once a week, but I don’t really have a problem with it, being a home-body and all (I love to bake!). When it’s not too hot, I’m out hiking w my dog or biking w my husband, but I’m also trying to get in the habit of doing…

Since when is 30s middle-aged, lol?! I’m 55, by the way. Gotta shed this post-menopausal weight! Friend me if you share any of these common interests: love being outdoors, animals, baking, science, travel... Oh yeah and favorite steak: Prime New York Strip! Yum.

Count me in! I’m 55. A few years ago I was looking great; 15 pounds lighter and working with a trainer at the Y. Now I feel as if the years all hit on me at once, I lost my oomph and the weight creeped on again. I never wanted to be one of those yo-yo dieters, but I love to bake and eat good food, so eventually I sabotage…
