@neanderthin Thanks for asking! For me, the whole reason is intentionally cutting something out that I normally enjoy and/or take for granted. As stated in the beginning of the post, I'm using this as an alternative for Lenten fasting, in which the idea is to take something out in order to simplify life/give more focus to…

Well I decided to go for it, because why not, and we'll see how things go. @lemurcat12 I'll certainly be paying attention to if there's bad reactions and looking for other ways to commit to God if needed. He certainly will understand. Thanks for looking out for me on that <3 @AnnPT77 Following your advice to check in and…

@tomcustombuilder Thank you for your insight! I definitely saw a lot of online articles that believed Keto diets were the magic cure to weight problems. While I'm not looking at it for this reason, it was a bit of a red flag, so thanks for helping note that and put it into perspective! Eliminating something drastic for the…

Send a request! Always looking for more people to encourage and be encouraged by!

I will be going Keto in mid Feb and would love to have y'all as friends/inspiration!

Good afternoon everyone! My accountability check in is probably going to continue to be more on the once-per-week side. All my Bible study and evening classes started back up this week and my life is *packed*. I've been working towards meal planning for higher protein eating, but it's a constant trial and error. I've been…

@BeverlyW1108 I think a lot of my problem is that I do always feel a little hungry. It's just something as part of my sensory issues that I've never been able to shake. So then I end up ignoring it and not realizing when I actually need food :sweat_smile: But I'm on track to meet my calories today! And going to meal plan…

I'm getting very good at dropping off the face of the Earth... yikes. Work is busy with end of year coming on fast, personal life is busy trying to market a book with no financial resources, trying to keep myself healthy and alive is busy lol. Too many things. I had a good weekend tracking wise though! I'm finding that my…

@BeverlyW1108 I was tired, but it was well worth it! And I could tell my energy is way better than past years. By next year, I'm sure I'll have no problems with keeping up all week! Might even volunteer at some of the other local churches next year too - it's a great way to force myself to stay on a daily workout plan lol…

It was a long week of 2+ hour exercise every night (leading games at the church VBS lol) but other than a little tiredness today, I'm feeling good! I made a week long meal plan for the first time *ever* and I am going grocery shopping tonight and doing the meal prep to have all the things ready for this week. Looking…

@sarah7591 I love the idea of reading a book together! Reading is one of my top favorite hobbies

My routine has been off, which has also led to eating troubles. I've still been at deficit, but not with very filling or great for you foods. I've committed to sticking to a routine starting tonight though, so hopefully I can get things back in a good rhythm to get myself out of this funk. Went grocery shopping today and…

Haven't had time to check in for a while! Been super busy with church activities. Our evening summer camp is coming up and I'm song director! How is everyone doing? Are you making progress towards your goals? - Bekkah <3

RND 226 Welcome everyone! <3 This round I’m focusing on hitting my protein goal and keeping sodium low. I’ve set an incentive for myself on my long-term weight loss goal: I’ve wanted to get a tablet for a long time but couldn’t afford it. Going to set aside some money and if I can stay below 150 for more than 2 weeks, I’ll…

I'm in the same boat! Restarted 26 days ago and would love more MFP friends <3 - Bekkah

Would love more friends for motivation and accountability! Please add me <3 - Bekkah

Hi Welsh! Welcome aboard! We're happy to have you <3 I also grapple with Depression and recently came back to MFP after being gone for a few years. I've found, personally, that just tracking foods and being mindful of the "fuel I put in my tank" is a huge help. Keeping my sodium levels below 1500 and drinking tons of water…

Mini goal: Get under 170 by the end of the summer! I've already told my little brothers that if I can do it I'll buy the new Zelda game for us to play together - it's a powerful motivator to get them to go hiking with me :joy:

@BringIt2023 - I'll try taking a look after work; meal prepping would probably be a good thing if I can find the time to manage it. Thanks for the advice!

Good luck @BeverlyW1108 ! You've got this <3 @sarah7591 That was about 1.5 weeks worth of effort. Hoping I can keep up a similar pace - or at least see some change in the mirror for an NSV Went swimming with my sister for 20 minutes last night. She wanted to stay longer but my asthma had already been tapping out for the…

Stepped on the scale this morning and I'm down 3lbs! Glad to see that movement - now I just need to focus on keeping that off while working toward a lower number. How was everyone's weekends? Were you able to keep with your goals?

Went to a grad party for my cousin yesterday and had too many sweets, then went to my parents and had loaded nachos for dinner.... Not a great day for me! Today I'm committing to eating more protein and keeping up with the water goals I've set for myself. We can all do this! Welcome to our newcomers <3
