Today I am down pretty low. I have exercised ever day this week except Tuesday when I did a big grocery shopping trip. I am thinking of putting my YMCA membership back on active if I can figure out when I can go in with my schedule. I am signed up for workshops M-Th from 8:30-11:30 when I think is probably the best time to…

We did a test in my workshop today from Choosemyplate.com and I got a good score. It tests your diet relative to how healthy it is based on some questions. Hmm I haven’t had any issues on here today yet. I guess I will see what happens after I post. Well I got my exercise in today and went just a bit farther than usual. I…

Yesterday would seem to be a bad day for me healthwise but I am not so sure it was as bad as you'd think. Bad: I went to a drive in for lunch then bought and ate my 2 top junk foods (sour gummy bears and corn nuts). I didn't exercise. I also didn't have time for my bullet journal. Good:* I logged all the food I ate and it…

When I was working we had to go into the office 1 day a week. I like ice water and I didn’t like the way that ice was available at work. So I bought a huge thermos type water bottle. I would fill it with ice and water. It made it hard to lug in with my lunch and laptop. This weekend every time I picked up my glass of water…

Happy Thursday all, I am doing bullet journaling and yesterday didn’t have any to dos on the list after my Jobsearch workshop. I often go into my bedroom and lie down to regroup. I didn’t get anything come up to do besides a walk. Then we got the estimate for replacing our hot water tank that is slowly leaking. It is…

Progress: I have logged for a few days in a row. I have been updating my spreadsheet. I have starting to exercise more regularly. I have been meal planning. Doing more of the grocery shopping and a lot more of the cooking. Struggles: I realized we need to include more vegetables in our meals. This is so not like me. I am…

Well I took @CupcakeCrusoe 's advice and restarted/reset up my spreadsheet. My last one was for 2021. I made one for 2022 started at today. The thing I noticed is I was 5 pounds less and that is with a scale that weighs me heavier (about 6 pounds) than the one I had then. So I think I have lost about 10 pounds since then…

Good morning, Yesterday my youngest came in and asked if I wanted to go for a walk. It was like - duh Keri, that is what I wanted to do. How could I forget. Thanks let's go. I got meal planning done yesterday so now I need to go grocery shopping. Good for my NEAT goal but still need that exercise. I had a dream last night…

I am doing a short mid-week post to say that since I started to walk after surgery I have manage to walk every day for a week. I upped the length of the walk until I hit about 30 minutes or 3-4 long residential blocks. I am now working to feel strong at that length before adding another block in. I have done 4 blocks with…

Congratulations making it to Onderland!

I seem to be able to lose when I am out of work - Economic downturn in 2009 and Pandemic furlough. But I struggle when I work full-time. The point is not how well we lose but to learn to eat in a sustainable healthy way. Maintaining is quite similar to losing. This is forever. Not a temporary dieting. Need to keep some joy…

@justanotherloser007 Congratulations on hitting you goal and Onderland! Enjoyed looking at all of your posts since last week. Hope to see you all in the September thread.

I had surgery yesterday so didn't eat until afterwards. I had the homemade soup, cracked wheat sourdough bread and for an appetizer a slice of avocado my youngest brought to me. Earlier in the week we celebrated my youngest graduating from her coding boot camp, finishing their final project and getting her new job so my…

Oh I forgot to mention that MFP gave me an ancient member award. :D Not sure if that is good or bad.

@pamiede so nice to read of your progress. So glad you have a way to monitor it now. @holdthefries nice progress and glad you have a walking pal. Sometimes my husband or youngest like to walk with me and other times they flake out on me. @kadohi Nice reaching your monthly goal early! @girlinkaz I liked seeing your week’s…

@goal06082021 nice progress. @JuneyCleaves your 1st Goal spoke to me. I did this the 1st 3 days of the week but not the last 2. @stacey282012 Glad you found this group too. The point isn’t really how fast we lose weight it is finding a sustainable way to eat to get and stay healthy. Maintaining weight is not that much…

Keri 68 years old, Height: 5'6" SW: 266 lbs (Dec 2019) 2/1/2020: 263.6 Starting late this month. Thanks @RavenStCloud for this thread. I am going to start over with my check in format because so much has changed in July. History: I lost about 40 lbs. on MFP quite a few years ago during the economic downturn. Then I went…

Hello All, I seem to make it on here once or twice a week on the weekends. I did skim through all of your posts for the week. I will try to keep up with at least checking in each weekend but this week I got back the results from the week before medical tests and it was bad news which distracted me from logging etc. My…

This week I thought I would start by reading posts since my week has been unusual. I have had medical issues to take care of the end of the week that have meant slowing down my exercise goals and taking things easy. So I suspended some of my weekly goals. I have kept my weight down and trying to keep up with logging. This…

@tammyymat You can help others better if you take good care of yourself. I know it is hard but keep trying! @sanielewis2 good job sticking to your goals throughout the crazy times. I hope the weekend is the break you need. @coralRegime I think you need to check your BMR and your TDEE and adjust accordingly. You have upped…

@AlexandraFindsHerself glad your fingers are better and you are making progress with weight loss again as you wanted. @itisjessdarling nice vacation progress @girlinkaz I’m impressed how you are turning a setback (lock down) into a win by making healthy foods and getting more exercise. @wanderlight and…

I read through all of your posts. I also wanted to say that we had our 1st family get together yesterday with a lot of my family since the start of the pandemic. It was mostly outside and all are vaccinated except for 2 kids. My weight went back down for the week this morning.
