Hi Ladies (are we all ladies or no?) Just popping in to say HI, and I have a new goal for myself this week - contribute more to House points! I have been losing just from eating which means if I add exercise it's just going to drop off =- I HAVE to do it. Going for a walk RIGHT NOW to get started!! See you 30 or more…

Hmm, have to go back through my week and find my veggie-servings. What day are the challenges posted? I need to get on top of them earlier in the week! Terrible week with in laws here through Monday, have not gotten down UNDER daily calories yet but am getting closer. Showed a loss by some miracle?? NEED to work excercise…

Terrible week this week, sorry ladies! My in laws came in for a last minute visit and I was tracking the first half of the week, btu when they come it's restaurants every night and I gave up after a while - I have no idea how to track outside food. UGH. Wasn't online much eithe rsince they took up most of our home-time.…

Oh, and for my February goal weight - I'll go with 259. I'm currently at my nine-months-pregnant-with-firstborn weight..going to aim for nine-months-pregnant-with-second-born weight now - (ugg!) LA

Good morning!! I've got a song in my head this morning - tune of "I know what boys like" -- I lost a decade! I'm in the 260's! I lost a decade! decade! Go, go me! lol! Yeah I'll never be songwriter of the year, but I had such a 'bad' weekend (three meals at a conference - not a veggie in sight there, ugh!) that I am VERY…

Hello, hello. 500 cal over one day...not great but if that's the worst of it, you're still doing all right. I had a bad eating day today - I'm not sure a vegetable other than potato crossed my lips - my husband is home for a few days, and unfortunately I do eat differently when he's home. sigh! However, I'm to the point…

I think I missed challenges for the week - need to find the link to the spreadsheet again. Had a sort of NSV that actually was a scale thing - I'm not a daily weigh-er and wasn't planning to weigh again till a week from now because TOM's on its way and I never know the scale will be doing that week surrounding - but I felt…

Hmm, didn't track much the last couple of days - no excuse either, I tried the mfp app on the phone and it IS easier than the computer version. I second the person who wished you could get into the groups on it, tho. I WILL give myself credit for being very good with my supplements and vitamins the last few days. Finally…

I finally looked up the coffee/glucose thing. Apparently, IF you have diabetes, it may raise your glucose levels. http://diabetes.webmd.com/news/20080128/caffeine-risks-may-rattle-diabetics

I did take that bag of pretzels I'd gotten for the kids' snacks and portion it out - put the zip lock baggies back into the pretzel package tho, so they wouldnt' slip all over the counter! lol. I have been fairly good with the eating (not ideal - need more veggies for instance, but around the lower calorie mark), SO hard…
-
Oh, meant to say - someone posted that she heard drinking coffee raised glucose levels - I've never heard that, only about how drinking coffee reduces risk of diabetes and other things. Please post your source. Was reminded to comment on this by seeing another piece related today:…

Wednesday. Called in for jury duty tomorrow, was told I don't have to report tomorrow or Friday - not sure whether I'm disappointed or relieved. Was looking forward to possibly a different plan for the day (where I get to be a grownup-without-kids all day?) - but it would have complicated other plans, so I guess it's ok…
-
Just checking in! Got stuck out for breakfast so had a ff, I'll still be under cal for the day I think, but I'm paying for it in hunger - that many calories worth of something else would have gone a much longer way!
-
Treated myself to a delish dinner out last night at a new sushi place here - I love eating out by myself, I don't feel pressured to eat too much (like, 'what do you mean that's all you're getting?') and I don't end up tempted to eat kid-leftovers. (I'm not tempted by half-eaten things, but my kids are pretty little - my…

Remind me when weigh in is here I thought Tuesday, but I saw someone's comment about 'weekend weigh-in'? Is there anyone else here tracking food on mpf who just KNOWS it doesnt' all get in there? I have it set to losing '2 pounds/week' because I KNOW if I aim for that amount of cal there are more cal getting in there…
-
Such a weird body-day. I spent half the morning feeling like I was starving- and thirsting- to death (after eating a normal breakfast and having had two cups of water plus a juice already), now that I had lunch I feel like I NEED to take a nap. Huh.
-
Thanks, Kelly. I think the point of that exercise break thing is probably just to get us thinking about being more active in regular activity, right? So I'm going to try to remember to actually do the breaks in addition to anything else..breaks are probably all I'll get in today, for instance, because it's gross outside!!…

ahh, yes..my first week in the house and I'm afraid I didn't do so well. I also forgot to weigh myself this morning before I started eating! I will get numbers together and post in a little while.

Hi! I'd like to join in and I've been poking around..I see this week's challenges (this would be starting week 2, yes?), but I'm not sure where I send what information to get started. Please advise! LA
