But I definitely didn't eat at 14000 under maintenance, so I am sure…

Happy to report I successfully maintained for the week, and oddly…
  • I have a couple favorites for breakfast, both with plenty of coffee, lol. One is a breakfast sandwich - high fiber english muffin, steamed egg, slice of ham, and slice of cheese (about 260 calories). The other is a mini bagel, with a bit of cream cheese and some smoked salmon (about 240 calories). Both fill me up and have…
  • @CupcakeCrusoe I bought way more than 1 box of girlscout cookies, and have been hiding them in my house so they don't all get eaten by my kids, lol. I am able to moderate them for myself pretty well, but my 12 year old will find them soon I am sure, and then they will all be gone ;-). Also, thanks for the suggestion. I do…
  • Hi @TexasTallchick I am sorry for your loss! consider myself tall at 5'10", but you have me beat 😉 I used to be fairly fit, but have steadily put on weight for the last 15ish years. I have tracked every day since I found MFP in July last year, and have shed nearly 70 lbs since then. Still have another 50+ to go, but feel a…

Can I just say that I much preferred the loss line when I was going for 2 lbs a week instead of 1? This bouncing up and down makes it so much harder to *feel*…
  • @Onamissionforfit Thank you for the suggestion! It does have metal arms, so I will try wrapping it with fabric to see if that helps. My balance on it isn't great so the one arm will take more work, but will definitely give it a try if the fabric doesn't work 😀
  • Thanks @RavenStCloud for another month!

Work is still crazy busy, and kids were out of school for the week. I managed to mostly stick…
  • Thanks Justin and yirara for your input. Between the low step counts and possible inflated burn from HR, hopefully they wash out :smile: I still have enough to loose and a big enough deficit that I am continuing to make progress anyways. Will keep going as is for now, but definitely keep these in mind as something to…
  • @robertw486 Thanks! Used the formula, and yeah, not that much difference in the calculated calories so I think I will let it go for now. It just drives me crazy when doing step competitions for work knowing I had more but they aren't recorded, lol.

  • @danikat15 I was just thinking the same thing this week! Housekeeping has never been my strong suit, and probably never will be (Ha!), but the state of it these days is worlds apart from this time last year. I don't know if its the increased energy from eating better & exercising, or whether the mess was a symptom of mild…
  • Thanks @RavenStCloud for another month!

  • @sandielewis2001 They both look *amazing*! But if I had to pick one, it would probably the Pimento & Bacon, because... bacon! :-) Also, is that a cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped jalapeno in the corner? Yum!

I think I have hit a dreaded plateau/stall. Does anyone know if…
  • Crazy, right? Sizes are horrible, lol. @1harleymama1 - I just sent you a friend request if you want to connect :-) Good luck on the meat consumption & sugar reduction efforts. I have a big weakness for bacon, but otherwise could probably happily go without eating meat 90% of the time. I do eat it in order to get some…
  • @1harleymama1 Thanks! My kids were home schooled from Mar 2020 - June 2021. I actually didn't put on too much weight during that period, luckily, since it was easier to cook meals when working from home. We were eating out a whole lot before that and I paid absolutely zero attention to the calories at that point, lol. I…
  • Hi and welcome! I am a 44 year old mom to 4 kids (24, 12, 10, & 7). I realized I had some gained some weight over the years but didn't give it a lot of thought and never really did anything about it. I am 5'10" so the weight kinda spread itself all over. Flash forward to July 2021 and went in for my first physical in who…
  • Hi and welcome! Similar story. I am a mom to 4 kids (1 grown, 3 little) & 1 cat.

Flash forward to July 2021 and went in for my first…
  • Continuing on with the TMI... So, what I have learned from my kids getting constipated, is that sometimes if you are really constipated, stool can leak around the blockage. So the fact that you are having looser stools than normal can actually point to constipation. So I would keep on with what the Dr said and continue the…

I know it can probably partly be attributed…
  • Stopped at the Rogue Creamery in Oregon when driving through a couple years ago. I had an amazing cheddar made with both cow and goat milk. Unfortunately it isn't available in their webstore at the moment, but found a description of it Mt. Mazama: "the cheese is made from a combination of pasteurized cow's and goat's milk…
  • Not sure what level of activity or interaction you are looking for. I love seeing dog & food pics 😀 I log in daily and usually complete my food diary (though sometimes I fall asleep before clicking the button, lol). I occasionally post on my wall, and try to comment on friends posts (but honestly it isn't every one). If…
  • Half way through the month already! My scale is driving me crazy lately - it is much bouncier than it was at the beginning; up and down and up and down and up and down, lol (today was a down day). Not much else to report this week.

  • Hi! I sent you a request. I have lost almost 60lbs since joining MFP about 6 months ago, and have another 60 to go. I log in daily and would love to have some more friends to cheer on.
  • Another week check-in. Welcome to all the new faces! Seeing everyone's progress, struggles, & accomplishments is very motivating, and I love cheering you all on when I read them (even if I am horrible about commenting on them). I have managed to get myself mostly back on track. I am still struggling to get in the…
