I've been using Optavia for a little over a year with success and I've used MFP the entire time too. I am honestly not very creative with the feelings. Lots of folks waffle them but, for me, simple is better so I mostly prepare the fuelings in the most basic way. If there are some that you don't like now - you might try…

2/17/2018 1. Hydrate! :) 2. Watch calories! :( ate some junky stuff too late. Tomorrow's another day! 2/18/2018 1. Laundry ... all the way done! 2. Prep breakfast for the week 3. Get nails done...I need something for me! 4. Grocery shop

2/15/2018 1. Another day with long meetings - 8:30 - 3:00 to be exact. Plan food accordingly. :) 2. Get to the gym :) 3. Clean out the fridge (need to do the garbage night purge of ickiness) :) Got my 2/16s done too but was super busy so never made it here to share. 2/17/2018 1. Hydrate! 2. Watch calories! Headed to the…

2/14/2018 1. Plan lunch and snacks. I have a meeting that runs from 12-4 so that’ll hit lunch and snack time. :) 2. Up my protein. I’ve kept calories down but have had too many carbs. I need to increase my protein. :) 3. Read. - I just didn't have the time. I did visit with my parents for a bit so that was a good swap.…

2/12/2018 1. Get to the gym! :) 2. Stretch - I'm so bad at stretching but feel so good when I do it! :# Some but need more 3. Spend some time reading posts! Somehow I missed a day. I really thought I posted earlier. I’ll post for tomorrow so I don’t forget. 2/14/2018 1. Plan lunch and snacks. I have a meeting that runs…

Honestly, for me it is all about planning. I knew I wanted a little bit of splurge at dinner so I made adjustments earlier in the day. If I don’t think ahead I will eat with wild abandon. In the past I’ve also filled up on “good” food before an event so I’m just not even hungry for the “bad” food that often comes with…

2/11/2018 1. Get the laundry fully completed! :) :) 2. Water :) 3. Move my body for a bit. :) (I'm so tired of shoveling!) 2/12/2018 1. Get to the gym! 2. Stretch - I'm so bad at stretching but feel so good when I do it! 3. Spend some time reading posts!

Love this! I used to keep something similar on my computer so I'd be reminded constantly!

2/10/2018 - the weekends are generally my downfall. I usually overeat to the point that I gain back any losses from the week. Not this weekend though! 1. Log everything and be accurate with portion sizes! :) 2. Spend one hour organizing\cleaning out some clutter. :) 3. Water!!! :) 2/11/2018 1. Get the laundry fully…

2/9/2018 1. Stay within calorie goal. (I'm working at home today so this will be a true test of my ability to make good choices consistently.) :) left the day with a couple hundred cals to spare 2. Find ways to move. (Another downfall of working from home - no commute and no meetings means less activity) :) shoveled three…

2/8/2018 1. Stay within MFP calorie goal :) 2. Eat some fruit! :) 3. Up water intake :) 2/9/2018 1. Stay within calorie goal.

2/7/2018 1. Bring lunch to work. :) 2. Read for 30 minutes - didn’t make it this far 3. Meditate - didn’t make it this far 4. Figure out how to navigate this thread. - I’m getting there :) 2/8/2018 1. Stay within MFP calorie goal 2. Eat some fruit! 3. Up water intake Enjoying this group so far. I haven’t had a lot of time…

So, what I learned today is that I’m not so good at navigating my way through this thread. I thought about my JFTs though! 2/5/2018 1. log everything I eat today :) 2. make it to the gym :) 2/6/2018 1. Log again! :) 2. Gym again :) 3. Come back here! :) And since I’m here... Tomorrow...2/7/2018 1. Bring lunch to work. 2.…

Took a quick gander at the posts here - this looks like a great way to keep it simple! My JFTs are to 1. log everything I eat today 2. make it to the gym

I too lost 100 but gained every pound plus some back. I never added friends on mfp before and - hoping that the community aspect can help on the long road ahead. Anyone can add me. Have a great day!

What a weight loss rock star you are! Congrats to you

I have to be aggressive and work toward 2 lbs a week at first. I'm carrying way too much weight and it's just physically exhausting - not to mention the mental/emotional impact. Given the switch from junk and pop I'm thinking two pounds a week will be easy at first if I stick to my plan but as time goes on it'll be more…

You are definitely not alone. I've got 125 to lose...again. I lost sight of myself somewhere along the way. My advice would be that you can do it - put yourself first and be ready to work on you because you're worth it! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools
