Go you! Even though you've been having a challenging time, you're getting things in motion. On the exercise in a fasted state, I'd say you would be able but you might want to work up to it. My first while of fasting was challenging enough for my body, but once I got used to it I was good for gentle movement. Good luck with…

🙌💃

Omg that's a thing of beauty 🤩

Oh folks I had two days of not great eating and the scales are taunting me. Trying a bit of a fast to go whoosh again but it's slow going. I did manage to get a cycle and paddle in last night but I think I'll need to be doing more strength training to move things along as far as getting fitter and stronger go. And sorry…

SW (Feb 3rd): 220 Feb: -6lbs March: +3lbs 4/2: 217 4/8: 212 4/16:211.4 4/23:210 4/30: April GW: 212 🌻 April Goals🌻 🌻 Keep moving 🌻 Bring in some strength training 🌻 Some light fasts Ok this is why weekly logging like this is such a good idea, I was totally feeling like I'd messed up and not made any progress because I…

OMG I was just looking at this during the week.....I might need to revisit it! Love LOTRs!

Hey! Welcome. I wanted to comment specifically bc I also had covid back in March 2020 and it was Dec 2020 before I felt fully ok again (ps I'm not saying this will be your journey, I just learned a lot in that year). Please take it really easy with exercise as folks have stalled their healing post covid from pushing…

@bonniemcc4 great news on your triglycerides! Ps I LOVE cauliflower "mash", I like it as an alt to spuds @NatashaA84 welcome! I was firstly coming to say I see so much of me in your post and I just spotted you mentioned the home edit (love it!). I'm also an emotional eater, but as I'm doing more of "the work" on myself I'm…

Oh I love it when the organising day works out. I was kinda putting it off but then I went to my spare room/laundry room and just started tidying (which is great because we have a guest coming this week). I've been watching "The Home Edit" on Netflix and want more of that in my life! Best to your OH on the new job.

OMG congrats on the house!

Ok, I love sprouts! Lol, most people think it's bonkers. You could shred them and stir fry them. I love some garlic and tarragon in mine, but there are so many options with flavour! Enjoy! I just picked up some steaks and prawns, so that looks like dinner tomorrow. And I'd say I'll do a simple green bean as a side. Only us…

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Short answer yes, but I was WFH. Saying that I think skin issues are also the discomfort, so even if we can mask them (like with make-up) the loss of comfort is a huge thing. You mentioned the stress in work, do you think they are linked? Mine were, I was being bullied and came out…

Ok, looks like a fast has helped me undo some of this week. Got a paddle and a peddle in today, both mostly gentle (until those last few hills at the end of the cycle!). I will sleep well tonight! :p SW (Feb 3rd): 220 Feb: -6lbs March: +3lbs 4/2: 217 4/8: 212 4/16:211.4 4/23: 4/30: April GW: 212 🌻 April Goals🌻 🌻 Keep…

Happy birthday 💃💖

Hey all, I wanted to pop in and say a proper hi today as I've been running around with work all week (ps the new job is going great!). I'm not due to weigh in until tomorrow, I'm currently up 2lbs and I'm going to fast today because I'm off work and have the flexibility to do it (I was supposed to go and try kayak surfing…

@CupcakeCrusoe I'm so lucky with the forest here, it was a big part of why we chose to move here. It's small and lovely. Those brownies sound good! @bonniemcc4 Oh if you're looking for a way to get more fiber in I'm finding psyllium husk great. I'm making waffles with it, they are totally half psyllium husk (lol) but I…

Hey all, just in to say a quick hi after the weekend. I'm def up a few lbs but I got to see family and friends, so I'm really not too bothered and I'd say I'll get that down in the next couple of weeks again. I did a slightly faster walk-jog on Sat, dropped my nephew off to his sports and then made use of their local…

Hey gang, I'm popping in a day early to log as I'll be traveling all weekend and I'm lucky enough to be visiting friends and family so I wanted to get this done and keep on track this month. I'm back down to what I had lost in Feb, so hopefully, there will be some more progress this month! Had a great night at archery last…

@hap2go Amazing going with the walking dealing with everything going on. Colour me inspired. @swimmom_1 Wow you have come so far, gives me a lot of hope, and OMG 26.2miles! WOW, someday I'll get there. @kikina how are you finding keto? @CupcakeCrusoe I also love spreadsheets! This is fab, I've been thinking of doing…

OMG I had the post all typed out and then hit one button.....retyping the whole thing now :D SW (Feb 3rd): 220 Feb: -6lbs March: +3lbs 4/2: 217 4/9: 4/16: 4/23: 4/30: April GW: 212 🌻 April Goals🌻 🌻 Keep moving 🌻 Bring in some strength training 🌻 Some light fasts So March undid some of my work in Feb BUT I did land a new…

Ladies I so dropped off here this month but that involved getting a job! So yeah to that. I thought it might take a couple of months but the universe conspired and I start tomorrow. The search did hit me stress-wise and I fell back on food. I'm also still wrapping my head around getting back into the workplace after a long…

Thanks again Raven and thank you all for creating such a fab and supportive corner here! <3 So I just rejoined MFP around the start of Feb, the ole emotional eating was getting the better of me. My main goal in Feb was to get back into good habits and stop the spiral and it's going pretty well. I have had days off (where I…

Hey folks, wow you have all been so busy! It's so inspiring to see you all turning up and working on yourselves. Thanks for being here and again for the thread. So I seem to be standing still for now but I'm ok with that as overall I'm down since the start of the month and just turning up for myself was my goal this month.…

So it's been an emotional week & between valentines (which was lovely but calorific) and "allowing" myself takeout on Friday, well it added up! But I'm not beating myself up, I'm still down 5lbs since coming back on here and I'm showing up for myself and making much better choices more regularly. And my sciatic pain is…

Hey folks, hope you are keeping well. I've been getting on pretty well with getting back to tracking, my main goal this month was to start to get a handle on my emotional eating & build good habits back up, so far so good. I'm still a bit limited with exercise due to a misbehaving piriformis (I drove loads over the weekend…

2/3: 220 (SW) (I posted the wrong SW initially, because maths :p ) 2/7: 213.6 (-6.4lbs) 2/12: 2/19: 2/26: I really wasn't expecting this loss in the last few days, still focusing on wrangling the emotional eating! Thanks again for the group.

Hey, just sent you a friend request! I'm just back on the wagon. I was a member in a really cool gym at the start of 2020 but haven't been back since for various reasons. I loved being around so many women of all ages, shapes and sizes getting strong! I'm big, so their encouragement and enthusiasm really helped me.

Hey! Firstly, please take everything that I'm about to write with a huge pinch of salt, because I haven't a clue but I have some ideas! :p I'm an emotional eater and I have this sense that where food was helping to regulate me (albeit in a not healthy way) I am now looking for others things to take over, so I don't…

I was coming here to say the same thing. These have worked well for me but they're not for everyone (my OH just can't stand the texture!). I've been making a smoothie with the following: - unsweetened almond milk, 500ml - 2 tbsp ground chia seeds - artificial sweetener - flavouring - ideas are cocoa powder, some fruit, or…
