Good morning all! checking in for yesterday: calories: not great. my overall total was ok with counting my exercise calories - but I ate the majority of my calories in the middle of the day because I waited too long to eat and then I stuffed myself ... and had waaaay too many carbs exercise: great - back to the Y for step…

Don't give up purpleprose! I've really had success lately with going lower with carbs and upping my protein and healthy fats - maybe you want to mix up what you are eating?

Hi everyone, no baby yet? We got back from 'vacation' on Saturday night. Wow was that exhausting, but I think it was a good trip as my daughter saw 6 very different colleges. She really liked Missouri S & T, and Purdue (although financially Purdue likely isn't an option). Every college tour was at least 2 hours and a lot…

Hi girls, I just had to check in but I'm not tracking any of my food and exercise on MFP while on vacation this week. I'm doing well with exercise, but not very good at all with food ... it is more challenging than I thought to pass up those high calorie foods when going out to dinner every meal. I did pack yogurt, protein…

It sounds like you will have a baby soon! How exciting! I just realized that I may miss the event as I'm on vacation all of next week and may have limited access to the internet, I hate to miss the event! I'll be thinking of you!

Had a successful shopping trip for clothes - first time in a very long time that I was actually somewhat happy looking in the fitting room mirror. I've been wearing size 24 for a long time but bought all size 20 today! (we won't mention the size 22 pants that wouldn't zip up ... that brand must be wrong!!).

Thanks for the tip on skinnytaste, it looks good - I'm going to share with friends. checking in for yesterday: calories: over - I find it hard to stay under when I have no exercise calories to use exercise: none - was a much deserved day off water: short proud: made pretty good choices
