Hi Gals! I haven't been on a scale in a couple of weeks - but I know I'm up a little. But I went to step this morning and will hopefully be able to ease back into my good exercise routine since I'm over my cold and my foot is not great but better. We hosted a Christmas party last Sunday from 1:30-8:30 for my husband's…

Gals - I'm taking a bit of a break from tracking my food and exercise. I'll still check in here from time to time, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed right now with the holidays, and not feeling 100%. I just need to take a little time off from focusing on weightloss and hopefully come back renewed in the new year. I'm not…

Hi gals ... just so you don't wonder about me ... I'm taking a bit of a break from tracking on MFP for the rest of the year. I'm super busy, have been sick, and still fighting with plantar fasciitis/heel spur ... I think I just need to take it easy for a bit. I plan to be back in January. I will probably check in from time…

I have been MIA since before Thanksgiving... I did ok on Thanksgiving but then slid right through the weekend, getting worse probably every day. Tomorrow I will face the music and the scale - I know I am up. I have a bad cold, and I still have a heel spur/plantar fasciitis ... and am feeling very sorry for myself - which…

Happy Thanksgiving ladies!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone! My plan is to eat only foods that I really, really want.... and I'm exercising for 90 minutes at the Y tomorrow morning.

I was really lax over the weekend with watching my food. We had a family get-together on Sunday and I ate waay too much, and I haven't exercised since Saturday because I'm trying to rest my heel spur. I was home with a sick boy yesterday -which means I was tempted to eat leftovers all day. Back to step tomorrow morning…

annasgyal: you are doing so well ... just keep on doing what you've been doing and that darn scale will cooperate eventually! I'm having similar 'scale' issues. I had been hanging around 220-221 for a couple of months, FINALLY got into the 21*'s - even down to 217something, but am now back up to 221something ... but I have…

My day yesterday didn't get much better. I thought I was eating fairly healthy but ended up over on calories. I thought I was going to have a little loss or at least stay the same at my weigh-in last night at my weightloss challenge class - but no - I was up another 1.4 pounds and had to pay $1. And the class was really,…

I like how even on a bad day ... if I hit that button it usually isn't as bad as I think and it isn't the end of the world, I can get right back on track the next day.

Hello everyone! I got into a shouting match with my boss this morning ... never a good way to start the week. :grumble:

Congrats annasgyal! and Happy Birthday Mudya! My weigh-in (as expected) was not very good ... I'm still up 4 pounds from 2 weeks ago. I have been doing just terrible for 2 weeks ... I need to get this eating slide stopped. Last night I finally gave in to my chip & dip urges and ate an entire large bag of chips and…

Awestfall: What a stressfull week for you! I'm glad to hear Amelia is doing better, I hope she continues to improve. Take care of yourself!

Thanks mstahl! Good for you for cutting yourself off when you were full at dinner ... that is always an effort for me. I am proud of myself for just setting aside the chicken fried rice that I bought for lunch that doesn't taste good to me ... normally I would just keep eating it anyhow but I'm going to take it home for my…

When my kids were younger I mainly walked on a treadmill at home, then when the oldest started taking swimming lessons at the local Y - I discovered a step class that I could do at the same time as her lessons twice a week. Then I added Saturday mornings. Then gradually as the kids got older and easier, and with my…

Hi gals! sorry I was MIA ... I was super busy with work stuff since last Friday and just didn't want to do much on the computer when I wasn't working. I also haven't liked the scale for the last week - so that kept me from checking into MFP too :frown: . But I am hopefully done pouting about my weight gain and I've got to…

HeatherMN: My cat doesn't do that with tisues/paper but with many other things that he considers his toys ... rubber bands, milk jug caps, those bracelets, balls, and his real kitty toys. He puts them all in his food dish, the other cat does the same thing that your dog does - looks at me like 'what the heck?'. That weird…
