sorry again… it’s been a bit hectic. username: wishfuljune PW: 179.8 lbs CW: 180.4 lbs

username: wishfuljune pw: 179.8 lbs cw: 180.6 lbs sorry I have been a little MIA… work has been absolutely crazy.

Username: wishfuljune PW: 183.2 lbs CW: 179.8 lbs I’m glad to see that last week’s excursion on a Friday night didn’t result in a permanent gain, and I even lost a little more compared to my weight two weeks ago. I will take every slow and steady amount I can. To be honest, I didn’t work out much this week. I don’t know…

Discussion Question: I was chatting with my dietician about this very question last week. I recognize that I need to move away from the idea of deserving little treats every weekend because it snowballs into a whole weekend of “treats.” For example, I might start out with purchasing an iced latte from a coffee shop, and…

PW: 180.2 lbs CW: 183.2 lbs I went out to dinner last night with my husband and another couple. We ended up hanging out at a brewery and grabbing food there. I also had an OK week for exercise, but I think I was slightly higher in calories daily than I wanted to be. My goal is around 1600-1700, and I think I was more like…

apologies for the late post! I thought I had also posted last week, but it looks like it never went through. My missed weight for March 1st was 182.4 lbs. I was then feeling quite under the weather and had a tough time feeling motivated to workout. PW: 182.4 lbs CW: 180.2 lbs

Hi @lauren_989 - If possible, I’d like to post my weigh-in for this week today (Thursday) because I am traveling with no access to a scale for the weekend. PW: 181.6 lbs CW: 179.6 lbs After last week with minimal workouts, I got right back on track with a spin class last Saturday, and then two days this week of strength…

Apologies for the late weigh-in! PW: 181.4 lbs CW: 181.6 lbs For a week where I did not work out as much, I’ll take it.

PW: 183.4 lbs CW: 181.4 lbs Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet this week. Similar to what @micki48 shared, I’ve been a little overwhelmed by the last couple of weeks of news here in the U.S. My dietician and I talked about starting to slowly wean myself off the metabolic pills my doctor prescribed back in July, so I am happy to…

PW: 182.6 lbs CW: 183.4 lbs My first time in a bit not being in the green, however, my TOM started for me on Wednesday, so I’m hoping this increase is due to that.

Username: wishfuljune PW: 184.8 lbs CW: 182.6 lbs This is quite a surprise! With the absolute bitter cold we’ve had this week, I did not work out 🫣 because my gym equipment is in our sunroom and I wanted to stay warm for as long as I could every day. I do have my spin class this morning, which will be a lot of fun. I stuck…

I overeat mostly in social settings for a variety of reasons: - One reason is because other people, my friends and family that I love, are eating and enjoying food around me and they offer me some. In the past, I would feel guilty by telling someone no if they offered me food or a drink. I have gotten better at this over…

@lauren_989 Hi! I provided my weigh-in; it’s on page 7 😊 PW: 185.2 CW: 184.8

PW: 185.2 lbs CW: 184.8 lbs I will take the slow and steady loss. 😊 My dietician and I met this week and she said I am down about 15 lbs from where I started meeting with her. It was a good reminder of my overall progress, and I’ve been able to fit into clothes that I haven’t comfortably worn since 2021. It felt good to…

Happy belated birthday @strong_fit_ells!! 🎉 @micki48 - I agree with Ashley; that on this very tiring days, it’s good to think about small things you can do to move. I also like to make sure I get my workouts done before work; if I don’t, I will be too exhausted. I had to adjust my sleeping schedule so I go to bed earlier…

PW: 186.2 lbs CW: 185.2 lbs This was a really good week for me for both exercise and food. I also attribute it to being better about not working super late. I only stayed at work past 6pm twice this week, which is pretty good for me. Now it’s about tackling the weekend. I am hosting friends for a tabletop game day this…

@cleaneater80 - For me, the biggest adjustment was adding back in commute time to my office day schedule. One thing I do is wake up at the same time each day, even the days I work from home and that helps with maintaining a routine. Then, when I work from home, I use that “commute time” to enjoy a cup of coffee or journal.…

@Alatariel75 - Congratulations on the new puppy! I can’t wait to see the photos. @cleaneater80 - What are some things you do to “close the kitchen”? Is it more of a mentality shift, or physical tasks (clean/put away dishes)? @MaddawgMadsen - Glad to hear you are feeling better! How many miles is your relay race? Do you…

I do eat breakfast most of the time, especially because I find I need the energy for my workouts in the morning. Right now, I have been enjoying a toasted bagel with cream cheese to get my day started, but I’ve also done overnight oats, eggs and avocado toast, oatmeal, and smoothie bowls. When we go out for breakfast, 90%…

He’s a beagle mix, so he loves to be a couch potato and snuggle when he’s inside. When we go outside, he’s in detective mode and wants to walk forever, which I don’t mind at all since it gets me moving too!

PW: 186.6 lbs. CW: 186.2 lbs. Every small step forward counts! 😊 I had planned on working out yesterday morning (gym clothes laid out and everything), however my dog, Cooper, wanted to snuggle all morning. Lately, he likes to lean against me on the couch together, and then he will proceed to flop over and across my lap.…

These are all great questions! Resolutions: I have in the past, however this year instead of setting a goal like “lose # pounds” I want to focus on what is going well in my present day instead of always looking to the future to be better. Traditions: They’ve changed for me over the years. When I was young and lived at home…

PW: 187.4 lbs CW: 186.6 lbs This was a week where I made a promise to myself to get back on track with my workouts after being inconsistent, and I did. It probably helped a lot that work was very quiet and almost all of my meetings were cancelled with so many people out on PTO. I didn’t mind “working” during this week…

Saturday please! I will weigh-in tomorrow. 😊

Hi @lauren_989! My weigh-in last week was: 188.4 Today (CW) is: 187.4 I’ve been fluctuating the same 2 lbs since November, but that is fine with me with all of my work travel, holidays, gatherings, and sheer number of hours worked. I know I need to get back into my groove of my workout regime, which has fallen off because…

Hi everyone. I am so sorry that I missed several weeks in a row. MFP’s notifications are not working for me, which have been a little frustrating, I’d love to know if someone has tips on how to get those working again. Also, I have been incredibly busy with work and I had some personal travel plans last week and then came…

PW: 187.8 lb CW: 185.8 lb I’m happy to see the scale move, but not so happy with my exercise regiment. This week was tough. Only one day of working out before I had 12+ hour days with challenging meetings. With all my meetings, I didn’t have much time to snack, and I was exhausted so I went to bed as soon as I got home…

@lauren_989 - Good luck to your husband and his follow up appointment tomorrow! For me, I guess suggestions on how to get movement in when my days are jammed with work would be helpful.

PW: 186 CW: 187.8 Honestly, I am pleased with this overall given the week I had. I drove about 4 1/2 hours on Monday to get to my first location for an in-person meeting with a team I support. We were in a meeting all day on Tuesday so very little time to move. I did workout on Tuesday morning though, ahead of my meeting.…

Hi everyone! Sorry I am late; @lauren_989 - can I change my weigh in day to Saturday? PW: 189 CW: 186 October was a month where I plateaued. And, it made sense. I pulled a muscle in my back, and I was unable to work out for about a week, I had a lot of travel during the month, and a lot of social events. It was hard not to…
