My mini goal is to get to 7 days streak of logging on MFP. Fell off for a few months due to mental health flare-ups and am trying to ease back into good choices. I don't eat enough calories unless I'm tracking and need to!

I shocked people when telling them my age. They thought I was at least 7 years younger! My whole life everyone has always assumed I was 10-15+ years older, so it felt so so good. Also, this morning I noticed that even though I still have a little bit of a pouch on my belly, I can see my belly button without sucking in my…

Like @SueBarry1 I'm also in the process of going down from 200 to ~140. This is my third try because I keep bouncing back into the low 190s and losing my confidence I can actually do it. This time feels different because I'm not focusing on the weight - I'm focusing on my mental health and physical strength, and how what I…

@Bluetail6 Look at you go! Incredible work, friend, keep it up!
-
Welcome back @Walela617 ! Excited to see how your progress comes along! And happy happy birthday! Hope you had a good one.
-
@itladyee That would be the dream for sure! Definitely a big motivator. What new goals are you going to meet before end of year? What will you do to help yourself meet them? No shame in changing up the goals a bit to be achievable! Other main motivator for me is I want to be able to keep up with the middle and high…

I had some mental health stuff and some physical health stuff come up and both those took my time, energy, and motivation. Bad decisions were made. But also some good ones. Either way, I'm back! And back up to 189 again :grimace: But I know what works best for my mental and physical health this time around, and I have some…

@MadisonMolly2017 A little bit of an artist. A poet and an amateur photographer. Not by trade though; I work in financials for nonprofits :blush: Today I'm back down to 187.2 after hitting 188.8 over the holiday week. Sigh. But I'm resuming my diet and exercise plan that I know works for me tomorrow and that I know makes…

The year is getting away from me! July 8th already!? Rode 4.2 miles on Saturday but couldn't access the site to put it here until today! Current stats: 58.0/2024

186.8 today. 36.8 lbs to go, 26 weeks left in the year. I'm the opposite from you @MadisonMolly2017 Food is easier for me to lock in, it's the exercise and especially the sleep routine that I can't quite seem to get down. But baby steps! I'll get there.

Was gone at camp all week for summer staff training and didn't track well - Back up to 188.6 this morning. I will be done again in the next three weeks though!

Not a great ride, but my energy was way low after work yesterday: https://www.strava.com/activities/11573644426 Hoping to do better tonight! Current stats: 53.8/2024

I'm back! 8.9 miles last night and 1.1 this morning before work. Going to try to get in another 10-15 tonight after dinner! 52.3/2024

Goal Weight 2024 - 150 5.31.2024 - 181.3 We can do this!

Life has been crazy! Getting back to this though, I need it!! Did 7.9 miles between last night and this morning. Hoping to get in a longer ride tonight, but we'll see how the day goes. Current stats: 50.2/2024

Ran my very first 10k and needed a good cool down. Rode an easy pace, 6.8 miles after some stretching. Back home after a week of house sitting and eager to get back on the bike every day! Current stats: 42.3/2024

After Taekwondo last night decided to hop on the bike. Was trying to push myself a little, but I think I was already pretty tired. Averaged 11 MPH which *is* faster than usual. Working to raise that number though! https://strava.com/activities/11109317387 Current stats: 35.5/2024
-
My hope was to get two rides in yesterday but that didn't end up happening. No morning ride today either. The work week is getting ahead of me already! I'm so impressed when I see everyone else's ride lengths! My plan is to build up to 15-20 miles as my regular, but first I need to get used of doing this often again…

Watching TV while on the bike is actually nicer than sinking into the couch and getting all stiff. https://strava.app.link/rprvL9hnsIb Current stats: 26.8/2024 Slowly but surely!

Morning ride on the stationary bike. Kinda slow because I did it while playing a video game on the TV 😅 Great workout though! https://strava.app.link/HcSu5Nd7mIb Current stats: 19.3/2024

I would love to join in on this! The only bike ride I have logged is 4 miles from this morning. I will start logging these in Strava now though! Joining from a stationary bike Current stats: 4/2024

@penelopehatay Thank you for sharing! Your conclusions and insight are very helpful Day 38 Thoughts I've not been doing great at tracking the last few days, owing to a very busy time at both jobs. I've been monitoring carbs but not tracking calories. On a positive note, I have been tracking my water with my Fitbit, and I'm…

It was a stressful week last week with work and home stuff and I didn't have time to post. Sorry about that! Everything's just about the same though. I will be stopping the keto diet on Easter, so technically this will be a 47 day thing not 40. Doesn't really cause any problems via reporting though. The one thing I can't…
-
Thanks everyone for your insight and ideas! @SafariGalNYC that list of fruits is super helpful. Veggies have been pretty easy to get in but not fruits. I haven't entered yesterday's food into MFP yet so I can't tell you calories or anything like that, but so far no real difference from how I was feeling. We'll see if that…

@AnnPT77 I had lost quite a bit over last summer/fall, crept all the way back up in Nov/Dec, then after Jan was stuck about 5 lbs down at ~195. Not entirely where that puts me on the weight loss phase :sweat_smile: But totally makes sense with losing all over and not seeing the inches, thanks for that insight! Weekend…

Over Sunday/Monday there was a slight weight spike (gained 2 lbs over those two days) but then went back down to 182ish. Pretty typical of…
