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

RND 225 Welcome to another round everyone! Love the accountability of this community. I participated in the last round and while I didn’t see a lot of movement on the scale, my emotional/mental health has been way better the last 10 days. I’ve been finding that my Depression is very sensitive to blood sugar levels - part…

Traffic was bad today. Ending up having to pull into a parking lot to wait because there was no way I could get to work in that. Went into Starbucks for the free wifi so I could work (bad move Bekkah lol) and got a drink and cookie. Really the cookie is my downfall. If I'm very very careful today I can make it work, but…

@sarah7591 Thanks for checking in! My PT thinks I strained one of my hip flexor muscles while trying to do home exercises at the gym. Pushing myself way past my limits and getting hurt is kinda my MO...oops. I'm struggling to find the balance between resting and still doing some activity, and the hike we went on was…

@Xiao_Ya_ I've been gardening for about 8 years now! My MO is flower gardens with herbs interspersed so that I have a lot of colour but an equal form+function set up. Hoping this year to plant some cherry tomatoes and/or peas, because the patio at my new condo gets a lot of sunshine, but it's a much smaller space than I…

Went on a hike yesterday but now my hip pain is flaring up. Can't wait for my PT appointment next week to see if my therapist can help. Might go to the chiropractor tonight too and ask him about it. I'm stuck between 194-196 right now, have been for two weeks. Hoping I can find time in my schedule to go on more walks, and…

@quiltingjaine I'm very much a "if I forget to do it once, what is the point of keeping up with it" and also someone who easily forgets to do things. So recording the evening weight is a form of accountability for myself, more than useful data. I do agree that it is interesting to see the overnight shift though!

This thread looks very inspiring! I'd love to join in as well if that is okay. I struggle with losing weight because I'll do really well and then something happens in life and I eat my feelings... I also have trouble with hitting the calorie goal when I'm tracking well and then my mood drops, so I eat my feelings - You can…
