Feb 18 Exercise -20 minutes walk Tracking - Planned the day, did not follow the plan Calories - ? Pass day 7? I took a day off and stopped into one of my favorite coffee shops for a snack. Then I gave in to takeout Friday. I did make various adjustments to make it lower calorie, but I have really no idea how many calories…

@ideas2 I did read the book about the mycobiome diet at your recommendation, and that is part of what is inspiring me to make this effort. I am trying to target 20 grams a day of fiber - so not large amounts and not zero. I love the idea of trying to care for my little bacteria babies. Thanks.

Update - another day of eating pretty close to the recommended amount of fiber (which for me is 25) and feeling very satisfied after eating, which is something I had been struggling with. So I think I'm on the right path. I got there by adding in whole grain toast at breakfast (I had been only eating a veggie omelet),…

2/17 Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong, 20 minute walk Tracking: Planned the day Calories: Followed the plan Pass days so far - 6? Inspired by all of your possibilities. My life is feeling pretty hemmed in right now by parenting (in a pandemic) and working and I guess to some extent dealing with my autoimmune situation.…

Wow, thank you all for your wisdom. I have read through your advice several times. I am hesitant to try a supplement, though hearing many of you do take a supplement both makes me realize that is an option and probably the easiest way to get the fiber if you're eating low carb. And as far as the special shake, most…

Feb 16 Exercise: 20 minutes walk, 1 hr 20 minutes stretching and release work (awesome) Tracking: Planned the day Calories: Followed the plan! Pass days so far: 6 Very inspired by all the NSVs!

I've been thinking about fiber lately. Do you all think about fiber? Do you get the recommended amount of fiber? How do you do it? Here's my problem: I am trying to eat at 1200 - 1350 calories depending, so I don't have a lot to play with. I do find I feel better and am more satisfied with more protein and more fat than…

Pass Day 7 Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong, 40 minutes walking Tracking: Planned the day Calories: Followed the plan, but with some extra nibbles, especially at night. There are way too many delicious treats in my house and it's giving me a lot of trouble. @Mrs_Hoffer, I aspire to your level of being able to resist. I am…

Feb 14 I'm going to call it a 5th pass day Exercise: Half hour walk Tracking: Planned the day - not the night before, as is ideal, but before each meal Calories: I was doing well right up until bedtime snack, which was Valentine's Day treats from a local bakery. That was estimated in the tracking of course, but I am pretty…

Pass day. 4/3. I brought my 9 year old skiing and went for a hike. I had lunch at the ski lodge with the friends. Spent lots of time hanging out in the cold. Did not track and ate too much. But had a good time. Time in the woods, getting my daughter out to live her best life with friends, meeting new people- all good for…

Feb 12 3rd pass day Exercise- only 15 minutes stretching Tracking- planned the day Calories- followed the plan but maybe a bit too much nibbling off the kids’ plates Sounds like a good book to read. Thanks.

@Winner_in_Life Hashimoto's is a very common disease but it seems like there can be very different experiences with it. I have had this disease for almost 10 years, but I am still in the early stages of it. My thyroid is still fully functional and most of the time I have no symptoms at all of Hashimoto's. But every now and…

Feb 11 Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong, 20 minute walk Tracking: Planned the day Calories: Followed the plan, but with too many extra nibbles So, Pass Day 3 For my own processing, I think the problem was not being prepared for dinner. Also eating oatmeal for snack rather than a protein snack. That set me up for being…

Feb 10 Exercise: 15 minutes stretching, 45 minutes walking (extra long walk since I didn't take one the day before) Tracking: Planned the day Calories: Followed the plan Pass days so far: 2 My why - that is always a good question to reflect on as it changes somewhat. When I first lost weight just after college, it was all…

Feb 9 Exercise -15 minutes MommaStrong Tracking - Planned the day, but with a random database entry for "1 slice" of "chocolate cake with chocolate icing" Calories - followed the plan I'm going to call it a pass day because of the ridiculousness of that estimation and because I only did 15 minutes of intentional exercise.…

Tues Feb 8 Exercise - half hour walk on a very icy path Tracking - Planned the day, adjusted plan as necessary Calories - Under Binging doesn't tend to be my problem, in spite of the fact that my house is often full of very tempting things. If I give into it it tends to be more of a case of the nibbles, where each time I…

Feb 5 Exercise: Feeling better, I was able to do so much more than I have been doing! I was outside for probably 3 hours in the cold yesterday. Some of it was just standing around, but I was walking for at least 20 of it for sure. Tracking: Planned the day Calories: Followed the plan - under! My exercise practice is not…

Feb 4 Exercise - 15 minutes MommaStrong and I'll give myself the extra 5 dancing with my kiddo for an online "Tot Shabbat" service. Did not leave the house for my usual walk in the freezing rain and ice falling from the sky. Tracking - Planned the day. Adjusted the plan when we couldn't do our normal Fri takeout because of…

Feb 3 I did it! Exercise: 30 minute walk, 15 minute stretching Tracking: Planned the day Calories: Followed the plan I am finally, 3 weeks after the booster (and associated autoimmune thyroid flare), feeling better! It felt so good to go for my walk yesterday and not have all my muscles and joints screaming and feel like I…

Feb 2 Well, despite my desire to do well in Feb, Feb 2 was a pass day. I slept terribly, and with my thyroid situation, that was not something I could really handle. Exercise - 15 minutes stretching, only. I meant to go for a walk but it never quite happened Tracking - Planned the day Calories - Followed the plan but also…

@makattack220 I am not yet in maintenance but thought I would answer your question since I have been doing this for a while. I have had to lower my calories a few times throughout the journey. I don't do anything scientific to lower it, and I don't rely on MFP. I just, if I've been plateauing for a while, lower the…

Hi, I'm Caroline. Welcome to all the new people! I'm 41, live in the Northeast US and have a wife and 2 kids (9 and 5). My first weight loss experience was just after college. I did weight watchers and lost 25 pounds and kept it off (with some effort) until getting pregnant 10 years ago. With my first pregnancy I was super…

Feb 1 Exercise - 30 minutes walking Tracking - Planned the day Calories - Followed the plan - under! I am back on track and hoping to keep it up for February.

Pass day for me again. No Winner’s Circle and not a Champion. But I have pre-planned my food for today and ready to try for Winner’s Circle and Champion in February. Congratulations to all who achieved it in January, and to all who didn’t but gave it their best in difficult circumstances. You all inspire me.

Hi everyone! Checking in. It's been since Monday I think that I've managed to check in, which has me disqualified as Champion as well as Winner. It's been all pass days. Last time I posted I was feeling my autoimmune thyroid disease getting activated, 10 days post-covid booster. It has been. When it's activated I need 10…

Jan 23 Pass day. I did exercise - well, 15 minutes of MommaStrong and an hour outside with the kids and I must have gotten in at least 5 minutes of exercise in that hour, but probably not much more. I did plan the day, but went off the plan when I decided to go for one last visit to my favorite frozen yogurt place which is…
