@clink0313, first off I agree with the others that you shouldn't set your expectations too high for quick weight loss. The older you get the harder it is to lose (in my experience anyway). Focusing in on what you eat instead of focusing on what the scale says makes a huge difference. Experiment with your macro settings and…

Can't say enough about this group. Love it! Come and join us for the October Challenge, you won't regret it! This was my first month doing this challenge, before this month I was not doing any exercise, but with the challenge's requirement of minimum 20 minutes I started and did at least that every day. The information…

Ready and set to go!

I already check-in to the MFP app daily to record my meals and check-in to the challenges. I am a bit of a data nerd, so I also have tracking spreadsheets and charts where I track many things related to my journey such as my weight, calories, steps, sugars, etc. as well as challenge log-in information. They are all updated…

Goal for improving mindful eating: Truly understand what being hungry is, I don't think I really know. Check my hunger level- too often it is based on what time it is, not on if I am hungry or not. Control emotional eating, work on the very bad habit of being a closet eater... when I am alone, I want to "sneak" snack food.…

My exercise plan: This is actually harder for me than meal planning. I have never gotten into a regular routine of exercise and have never consistently stuck with anything my entire life. This is where I will need the most encouragement and push! I am currently working on doing 20 minutes of any exercise daily. 1) Work on…

I chuckled to myself when you talked about the Plan-Do-Check-Act process for meal planning. When I was still working I emphasized that process regularly to all our employees. Most people do this for most activities, but don't consciously realize they are doing it! It applies perfectly for this. My meal plan: Track macros,…

Pre-Challenge Activity #1: INFORMATION and YOUR INPUT This is my first 5% challenge. I joined this challenge because it sounds like "fun" and a good motivator. I am looking for a push to keep me going, a way to get out of my own head and work with a team on shared goals. Just a warning, I am kind of competitive and don't…

Any team is great!

I started taking Ozempic in December 2022 for T2. Unfortunately, my symptoms (nausea, vomiting and diarrhea) got worse over time, and I ultimately ended up having my gallbladder removed in February and stopped taking it. While I was on Ozempic I lost 17 pounds, unknown if it was because I was always sick, or the drug was…
