Lol. I can jump in right away since the shopping list must have been created based on my fridge and pantry😁 I'm definitely not vegan, though. Just love to eat more plants than meat.

Feb 27 Calories: over a little Tracked: in my mind. this doesn't really work well Exercise: no but it was a busy day. I did 8k steps and a lot of house chores. Today we're flying again for my son's medical appts. The whole trip will be 36 hours. I'll be back home on friday evening. Easy!

Thank you so much... I'll check the books. I love to read! And I love different styles and topics. I know where and when I'm heading in the right or wrong direction. I just feel like I dont have any energy to change anything. Maybe I need more accountability. I am working out to old Gilad videos recently😊 He was my fitness…

Here is a history of my weight. This is more like a note to self so I remember these dates and events later: *Until 2005 (age 34) I didnt have a real weight issue. I was always in the 115-125 range and 20% fat. *I moved to the USA in 2005 and went up to 145 in the next 3 years. Bigger portion sizes and lack of physical…

Metubal, reporting late again February week 4 PW 180.7 CW 180.6 0.8 pounds weigh loss in 2 months.. Sigh. Never had this problem before. I could always lose 4-5 lbs per month. I'm seriously aging to perfection slowly:( I need to lose 30lbs for good. Then another 15 to stay in the safe zone.

Hi team. I'm away from home with my son for his doctor appointments. We'll fly back home tonight so I'll be able to weigh myself and post it tonight. I started to work out regularly, I really feel happy and healthy. When our home nurse comes, I go out for walks. On the days she is off, i do strength training or yoga or…

Metubal February week 3 PW 180.2 CW 180.7 Climbing up still🙁🙁🙁

180.1 this morning. Officially stuck here for 4-5 weeks. I have to start tracking on MFP again, because I think I'm not tracking as well when I do it on paper.

Metubal February week 2 PW 179 CW 180.2 So sorry team. Still haven't been able to pinpoint why I'm gaining..

I go up 1 pound, I go down 1 pound. But I'm basically stuck at 179-180 lbs. At 5'2", this is a huge weight. Don't know why I'm stuck. Exercise: i haven't exercised in 2.5 weeks. In broad terms, weight loss is achieved by calorie deficit, not work out, right? Apparently work out helps with creating a deficit, but doesnt…

Feb 7 Calories tracked? No. Probably over but not by too much. Didnt eat anything all day until 5pm (wasnt hungry), then went to a chocolate festival/contest! Nibbled a little bit at every contestant. Net carbs: I dont want to know:( Exercised? Walked leisurely for 3 hours at the festival:) Weather was good, about 38-39F.…

I've been MIA for the last few weeks. But I got my life -somewhat- under control again and I'm hoping to back here regularly. My weigh-in day was Monday🙁 Metubal February week 1 PW 179 CW 179 (as of monday 2/3) Cant figure out why I'm not losing weight. Maybe one day I'll wake up 3 pounds lighter? I always easily lose 4-6…

That would be going to bed before midnight. It prevents snacking It prevents going over my calories It gives me 7-8 hours of sleep. It helps me start my day earlier.

Sorry I haven't posted anything all week... and no weigh-in yesterday. Metubal January week4 PW 178.6 CW 179 So frustrated with myself for the last 2 weeks. Not paying attention to my caloric intake or macros, not exercising, not drinking enough water, and definitely snacking in between meals.

Just popping in to say hi. I haven't been able to track anything this week. Nonstop snow slowed down life for me. But I shovelled for at least 20mins every day, walked and snowshoed here and there, and did frequent coop cleanings since my chickens are refusing to go out in the snow, thus turning the coop into a stinky…

January 13 Calories: couldn't track but possibly a little bit over? I went out to lunch with my son and we ended up at a Chinese open buffet. Tried a few bites of most things. Never going back there again; everything was super salty -and sweet (as in baked seafood with sugar, stir fried veggies with sugar, yuck). For…

January 12 Calories: about 100 under:) Tracked: yes:) Net carbs:35:) Fiber 11. Need to find a way to increase fiber. I should probably just add a high fiber tortilla for an easy 10grams. Weight: 181.8:( Up 1lb again. No worries. It looks like I go 1 up, then 2 down:) Exercise: 30 min walk in the snow. It felt good. I…

January 10 Calories: way under, didnt feel like eating Tracked: yes:) Net carbs:32 Weight: 181, weird ups and downs Exercise: mall walking 20 min at 3.5 m/hr rate.

@craigo3154 I've been reading about the horrible fires. Are you close to them? Looks like everywhere is burning. It is all so sad. Big hugs.
