Hi There! Yes it is possible. I'm working on a similar goal and since my restart on 10/30 I'm down 16lbs. If I logged in right now I'd be 2.4lbs lower but I under-ate very badly the past 2 days so I know it's going to fluctuate again and I'd rather not have the yo-yo weight on my log! I'll log in Tues as planned. The…

Portion control and logging. Will be weighing out the ham because OMG the sodium there! 4oz is 1050mg!!! That's like 2/3 the sodium I usually eat for the DAY! Otherwise I'm enjoying myself on my "see food" diet. I see food... I eat it and I log it =) If I want a roll with Butter... I'm having one! The only food I "Can't"…

Love my coffee here too! I was on creamer then switched to the fat free version or light or whatever they call it... then to whole milk and now I'm back to skim or light vanilla soy milk. I used to not use any so I don't know if I will get to that again or if this works for me. I'm ok with the "drinking the calories"…

Heels can be evil and they can be your best friend. Just have to adjust to them. If you're wearing a certain shoe for an event break them in. If you picked a cute (too tall) heel get something similarly shaped that you can wear first as practice and Then move up in height. If it's not a specific event.... and just a cute…

glad for mini-goals. I need an accountability kick in the pants! Week 3 12/15-12/21 Weigh Everything I am eating (with the exception of pre-packed items or those with exact servings) Stay on new calorie target Find (and start) new "At My Desk" workout Lose SOMETHING off the scale. I don't like being stuck with as much…

~Feb (birthday) be down at least another 20lbs. ~April be through a c25k round and in prep for my 1st 5k back since my pulmonary embolism ~5k in June...not walking! (and then compound goal is dropping my time for the next season!) ~Would like to be at my goal weight by 5k or latest by July so I can train for a competition…

Good for you on having that cake =) I don't think we need to punish ourselves for a little treat either.

I have a small NSV and a bigger one. My small is that I Have NOT weighed in yet. I'd be weighing in all crazy days with different groups and challenges so I set it to my rest day on Tuesday.... I Haven't been tempted to just "check" like I used to. Found that would discourage. Bigger one... All of my sz 16 and 14 pants are…

Absolutely. If its anything like here where we were shoveling mostly ice then that's an even bigger impact.
-
Feel free to add me as a friend too! It's a hard road for anyone trying to lose weight so taking the steps you're already doing is a huge accomplishment. I saw you started with 10 mins of walking with the scooter at the ready with your daughter! That's a great way to start! If you can do that 3x a week and then maybe try…

Welcome back! I have an absolutely insane schedule so please feel free to add me! The more of us in this boat the better to keep each other going!!

I do a few of these challenges while at work.... http://30dayfitnesschallenges.com/ I work graveyard and we've not got a lot of stairs around the office so those + a pullup bar in my doorway do help. Can you park farther out so you get in a little walk to and from the vehicle also? Or maybe start doing a "steps per day"…

Here at MFP... I've gotten called out once or twice missing meals which made me realize on those days my stress + not eating had the whole hangry bit setting in... so snack in the tote it is and I'm set if I'm on the go. Outside in my life.... all the time. More negative than positive. I get a ton of "A <insert whatever I…

Well the friend joining the Marines is an idiot. To folks calling him a Marine, he isn't and until he earns it. As a Marine it's a pet peeve of mine.... Earning the Title is not something everyone can do. In bootcamp there are weekly weigh ins and ANYONE Over or Under will have their diet modified. I was on TRIPLE Rations…

I would just regift or put it out at the office or for company. That said we tote a tin of homemade peppermint bark to hosts at holiday parties and usually it's set right out with the spread so I think that's pretty acceptable in this case =)
-
Going to be logging later than everyone so hope that's not a problem =/ I shifted my days around and really am trying to focus on 1 day a week to pull out the scale, but that's Tues.
-
Wow you guys are inspiring! Great work!! I'm up a pound this week so I'm not that thrilled with myself. I have to keep hanging in there and working out the rest of the week with my restart tomorrow. Tuesdays are going to be a rest day, although I shoveled for 90 mins today, so I got a good workout. Hopefully I can just do…

Hi there! I don't round my weights so if it's the 238.4 that's what I'd log. I weigh in before I eat anything in the morning. Just shifted my day to Tuesday since that is going to be my rest day. But whatever day works best for you. My best friend likes Saturday since she cheats that afternoon/evening. So I think that's…

You're not Trying.... You are Doing! I really recommend weighing and measuring foods so you are exactly documenting foods. That one step is such a huge help
-
You can do it! Just start small with changes if getting back on the wagon is hard. Every day is a new day and each little step forward will add up.

I like that one! ~I'm running my 1st 5k back since my embolism this year. ~1 word for summer... say it with me.. BIKINI!!! ~otherwise, I'm going for that full year of logging too

I have literally destroyed my knee over the years. Tore everything in one injury (most recent), medial/lateral meniscus only in another (16 yrs ago), and dislocated it at another point between. If I was "older" they'd have said I was a candidate for replacement when I tore again. They tried 2 months of physical therapy…

I'm 5' 4" (technically I get rounded up from 5' 3 1/2') and right now am sitting really high for a small frame at 193. Depending on body fat and how I look I'm aiming to get back down in the 115-130 range. I've been 120 with 10% bf and 120 with 20+% so it's not only about what's on that scale... I KNOW hands down which 120…
-
I've had a slight gain lately so I'm hopeful that's at least off when I weigh in Tuesday. I'm trying to reach a goal I'd set to be down an additional 20lbs for Christmas. That would put me at the 25lbs lost mark in just under 2 months of my restart here. Not sure if it's possible but I'm not letting up! Needed the extra…

I've been drinking Sparkling Ice lately. It's pretty good and a switch up from water and seltzer
-
Usually 3 a day here too... yolk and all.
-
Bleh, not happy since there's 2 snack types in there but really, have to give myself credit since it was portions of each and not just sitting there with a large bag/box. Otherwise, yes, I can live with my 10 =) Fruit - Banane (Petite) Sun Chips - Harvest Cheddar - 3.25 Oz. Bag mexi chicken black beans (my recipe serves 6,…

Eggs Spinach, broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, onions, bell pepper, lettuce/salad mixes, celery ground chicken/turkey turkey sausage milk cheddar cheese, 2% string cheese, water (our tap water is nasty even with a filter) chicken breasts fish Always on the list! Usually end up with some fashion of spice rack item or…

I pre-pack a lot of things. This includes my prep for my breakfasts so no dicing and chopping, just heat up a pan, toss in my veg and then whip up my eggs and in they go. It's a lifesaver. Re; cooking ahead, I can't recommend anything else better. I have my chicken pre-cooked for my meals this week so all I have to do is…
