@Megan_smartiepants1970 I'm envious of the workout (not so much of the deep clean - although it's on the list for next week). That butternut squash ravioli sounds so delicious - mmmm, browned butter. @azkunk Seriously, before the new grocery store, the closest one was 25 minutes away? I'm glad a new one popped up by you.…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 First, let's do a celebration of 49 pounds smashed! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Second, let's remind ourselves that you are supposed to be recuperating from hernia surgery AND taking it easy. Third, you easily could have taken this recovery time as an excuse to overeat and overindulge, and yet you stayed on your path…

@lindamtuck2018 I'm sorry you are disappointed. You are doing incredible with your walking, and eating, and hitting your daily goals 🤗 Yes, love that! Onto a new week. Time to enjoy that pizza with the grandkids, very smart idea of pre-logging it into your food diary and planning out what you're going to eat. That…

@iradi8 Thank you 😊 I actually surprised myself, by not reaching for a second donut. I probably haven't done that since I was a child. @azkunk 105g of protein for you. Do you eat a lot of Greek yogurt, eggs, chicken? I love ice cream too (well, all desserts). Have you tried Halo Top? Our grocery store had them BOGO a few…

@azkunk Congrats on hitting your fasting for 16 hours! Less than a 1,000 calories? You are determined. That was a great idea having a protein shake. What is your protein goal? I'm glad that the joint pain and fatigue went mostly away. Thank you! I completely agree with that philosophy, "moderation, not deprivation." I need…

1. Remained eating mostly the healthy foods while on staycation with the in-laws. 2. Definitely more fish. 3. Not drinking enough water and not having previously communicated my healthy eating plans to my husband. 4. Donuts. Although, I already had one. 5. No specific topic at the moment. 6. I'm your Team Motivator. Please…

Steps- 10,000 ✅ Seltzer- 8 cups 👎 only five cups Tracked everything ate and drank ✅ Under calorie budget 👎 I still have 100 calories left, but watching the rest of the game, so.... @Megan_smartiepants1970 Steps 12,500 I got a late start on my walk this morning, I wasn't watching the time while responding to posts and…

You know what's strange, I thought (I don't know why) when I reached my goal weight that I wouldn't NEED to diet anymore. Maintenance has been almost the same as eating within a deficit, except I get to have some extra calories. Still exercising, still tracking, still meal planning. I completely understand what you said…

@Bluetail6 I am so sorry. That’s so terribly tragic. Yes, you can handle this. You are strong. I’m glad you are using walking as a stress reliever. I do hope everything gets sorted. 🤗 @Beverly2Hansen Another fabulous step, plank, water and calorie day 👏👏👏👏 you’re doing amazing Beverly! By the way, I’m trying to increase my…

Phenomenal loss!👏👏👏 It looks like that was more than A STEP in the right direction 🤣 over 20,000 steps 👏👏👏👏 amazing Angie!

@lindamtuck2018 Another 💯!! Amazing day for you and look at all of those STEPS! You’ve been smash those daily goals 💥 I’m so happy for you, I know you’ve been wanting to visit. Lots of hugs. Lots of happy tears. Lots of food. That’s good to hear that your gym reopened. 👏👏👏👏

@iradi8 Thanks! I’m constantly looking for new recipes. I did a quick Google for a similar recipe to what we do https://thatlowcarblife.com/garlic-parmesan-spaghetti-squash/ Instead of garlic and onion powder, I form a small pouch out of aluminum foil. Inside I place five cloves of garlic and a teaspoon of olive oil. Crimp…

Way to go!!! That’s incredible 👏👏👏👏

8 miles!?! EIGHT miles, all in one shot, you both are amazing! 22,640 steps!! 👏👏👏👏 I’m in awe 🤩 Have fun on your walk. I’m so envious that you and your daughter walk for so long together. Love that!

Kudos to you for getting in all of those steps WHILE overseeing construction and monitoring the kids play date and preparing zucchini chicken burgers with the watermelon and feta salad! Amazing 👏👏

@iradi8 Nice loss👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 @rwood566 That would be so nice, if we can count typing as stepping AND even nicer if it would burn the same amount of calories 😆 Hopefully the doc will get back to you quickly with her suggestion about the feeling on tightness in your chest. I'm glad you emailed your doc straight away. 1,700 sounds…

@Poobah1972 Now that is some SERIOUS dedication to a home gym! Well done the two of you, for putting your plan together and setting up the gym the night before. Congrats on another FANTASTIC walk! @emking517 Nice loss! @Megan_smartiepants1970 6.19 miles in one walk! You are my walking hero 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You know you walked far…

Steps- 10,000 ✅ Seltzer- 8 cups❌ Tracked everything ate and drank✅ Under calorie budget✅ @Megan_smartiepants1970 Oooooohhhhh are you ready for this 😀 24,000 steps!!!!! Me. 24,000! I still can’t believe it. I was able to walk for four miles this morning. Later in the day, hubby went for a 3/4 mile walk with me. After…

One of the lessons I learned from my free trial on Noom was “that weight naturally ebbs and flows”. They kept repeating that same message again and again. Yet when my weight would climb, I would message the coach and expressed my frustration. Guess what she would reply? The old ebbs and flows. Fast forward some time, and…

Thank you so much. I think you’re right. The hosts on We Only Look Thin said that in the early days, they would inadvertently sabotage one another to keep from feeling guilty about what they themselves were eating.

Yes, once you allow MFP to read data from the Apple Watch it will automatically give you a calorie adjustment for exercise.

Wow!!! Four out of four! 💯%!! I’m so impressed with your walks! Well done on the ENORMOUS amount of steps👏👏 Great planning on having prepared lunch AND dinner! I’m so glad that you know that the scale will show all of the effort and hard work. It’s an evil genius- it’s making you think you need to try harder when in fact…

Congratulations on your loss!! You’re doing amazing 🤩 how do you feel? Fantastic high step count 👏👏 yes. I agree. I need the sun and to be outside. That was a great idea tacos! I try to make something somewhat healthier for dinner, so we all eat one meal OR I make a less healthy side too go alongside. Your idea of tacos is…

@roz0810 Happy very early birthday! Are you enjoying your walks? Do you prefer the treadmill or waling outside? Great steps yesterday 👏🏻👏🏻 Love that goal to reach by your birthday. @Poobah1972 Thank you so much. I do need to talk to him. I guess, I just expected him to realize what is going on in my head, after seeing me…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 Wowww!!! You are a walking MACHINE! Hernia surgery and your poor tootsies can't keep you down 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Oh, I need my coffee. Ok, I don't know if I need it, but I love drinking a cup of coffee first thing in the morning. @rwood566 Incredible, two for two 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I think the two have you have a bit of…

Steps- 10,000 ✅ Seltzer- 8 cups ❌ Tracked everything ate and drank ✅ Under calorie budget ✅ @Megan_smartiepants1970 15,100 steps I was able to do a 3.5 and a 2 mile walk today. Ok, give me your secrets, how do you not pee your pants walking for so long? I had to speed walk home during the 3.5 mile walk, because (as my kids…

@rwood566 Wow, a 6 mile walk! That's absolutely amazing 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Roger, thank you for working so hard, it's really inspiring. Gym later also, you're on a roll! @Megan_smartiepants1970 Thank you! 🤗 I've tried in the past, he really has no desire to change, not now at least. I do make meals for the family that are healthy-ish,…

⚠️Caution This Post is One Long Rant⚠️ ⛔️Please feel free to skip over this post. It’s actually really therapeutic putting my feelings out here and there’s no need for you to read anything so negative ⛔️ My husband decided that he’s not interested in losing weight, even though he’s on medication for high blood pressure,…

I love your goals! You know I used to feel the same way about logging my poor choices. I was actually embarrassed about putting them in the MFP food diary. Listening to helpful podcasts (like We Only Look Thin) and seeing others diaries, actually helped me realize that this is life and it’s not only going to be apple…

Fantastic loss!! That’s so exciting. We are cheering for you 👏👏
