PW: 161.3 CW: 162.4 I’m going to take a break in July - I am dealing with a few health issues including something with my foot (so hard to walk right now) - hope everyone has a very successful July!!!
-
No weight change: CW: 161.3 Had a pretty good week - continuing to eat healthy but still not getting in enough exercise. It’s been in the 90’s with high humidity and air quality warnings but I’m just using that as an excuse 😉 but is a new week and an opportunity to improve!! @wishfuljune Happy Birthday! Sounds like a fun…

Oh my goodness such a fun day! We watch Gardeners World over here in the US ☺️ My family is originally from the UK and it’s definitely in my genes! My husband gets so annoyed when I take control of the remote and he’s stuck watching murder mysteries most evening! But he does like Antiques Roadshow with Fiona ☺️
-
I would love all of you to come over and have a feast of freshly milled bread and muffins! I haven’t gone as far as making cookies as I feel they are too indulgent and would likely eat too many ☺️ I’m going to look for The End of Craving. I’ve been listening to Bread Beckers podcasts and watching their YouTube shows. She’s…

PW 162.5 CW 161.3 Happy to see a loss! So I’ve been doing an experiment and last week I had a full week of doing it. I’ve been reading about the health benefits of baking with freshly ground wheat berries. Since we live in the country I’m always on the look out for things I can do if we lose power for days (I’m a planner!)…

Happy Saturday!! PW: 162.5 CW: 162.5 No change but I’ve decided I need to be more dedicated with Mediterranean Diet. I was consistently losing and since I’ve been sloppy (partly due to surgery) I need to get back on track! Healthy whole grains, abundant fruits and vegetables, lean proteins. I’m ready start now!!! ☺️
-
PW: 161.7 CW: 162.5 Oops again - it wasn’t the best eating week. I am really struggling to get back on track - I’m eating fairly good just too much and not exercising at all. My gut says just pick one thing to do and not try to be perfect - so I’m thinking a quick walk with doggie in the AM (since it’s SO hot here now) or…
-
PW: 159.7 CW: 161.7 Oops - not enough activity and too much food. Time to stop it now! Otherwise feeling pretty good, had my post op visit yesterday and everything is healing well. Can start increasing my weight restriction next week - honestly 10 lbs really is nothing! This weekend will be filled with gardening and walks!…
-
PW: 160.4 CW: 159.7 Not to shabby after having surgery and I’ve been sitting around a lot! Surgery went well and getting some walking in but that’s about it until my 2 week follow up appt. Not allowed to lift anything over 10 lbs but that’s okay! I was able to stop taking the pain meds yesterday! I think it’s healing up…

PW: 162.1 CW: 160.4 Tuesday is goodbye to Ms. Gallbladder so I think I’m all prepared - shopped for BRAT type foods for after - lots of bananas and apples, rice cakes, soup and I always have lots of oatmeal at home. I will probably make some GF bread dough later today and freeze in case I need extra carbs oh and Ginger…

PW 159.3 CW 162.1 OOPS - I have been eating too much lately and yup it caught up on me. I’ve been nervous about a couple of health issues and upcoming surgery (simply surgery btw) and with stress I always crave sugar. Gallbladder comes out next week (16th) but dermatologist thinks I have psoriasis in my nails and usually…
-
PW: 159.9 CW: 159.3 Slowly making it down ☺️ I forgot to check in during the week - that was supposed to be part of my accountability and promptly forgot after I posted it 🙃 Hopefully next week I will do a better job! Wishing us all a successful May!! Welcome new members!! ☺️
-
CW: 159.9 Aww the ups and downs have started again. This is very normal for me and hopefully soon I will see a whoosh of weight loss! I do know I need to do something different with my work days - I log on at 7:30 and log off at 4:00 - no real breaks and the whole time I am stress out. After work I mindlessly scroll my…
-
PW: 160.4 CW: 158.3 So on Tuesday I stopped eating gluten - my stomach has been weird for a long time and I am finally just starting to feel some relief. I’ve always been a whole wheat kinda gal making my own bread and healthy pumpkin/banana bread. Thus the whoosh of weight loss. I’ve been relying on oatmeal, sweet…
-
Happy Saturday!! PW: 161.4 CW: 160.4 I just found out this week that my gallbladder needs to be removed - not too many issues thankfully but wasn’t feeling the greatest the last few days maybe it’s in my head but it helped with some weight loss this week! 🙃 I will take what I can get and I’m so close to being in the 150’s…

I’ve been doing a free trial of noom which ends soon (too expensive in my opinion) but it’s has some good lessons. I’m kinda hoping in a week or so I’ll see an offer for a…

SW: 163 3/04: 162.7 3/11: 162.5 3/18: 163.5 3/25: 162.7 And back down she goes. Non scale victory: my cute summer jeans which were too tight last year fit perfect! I have lost weight in my stomach but also fighting with some water retention from some medication I am taking! Never trust the scale - it doesn’t show the full…

SW: 163 3/04: 162.7 3/11: 162.5 3/18: 163.5 Ugh still a week of not feeling great - that’s like two weeks of feeling very weak and tired. My stomach was acting up too so I had to cut back on vegetables and eat more carbs and banana to feel better. Luckily I have a doctor appt on Tuesday and I may have her check my iron…

SW: 163 3/04: 162.7 3/11: 162.5 This week was a hard one - I felt extremely tired and hungry ALL week like I was coming down with something. Never did get sick but made sure to drink plenty of water and get as much sleep as I could. I did manage to get all my steps in this week although at times I felt like I was sleep…
-
Happy happy Saturday! Over all I had a pretty good week - super busy but I worked on getting my steps in (success) but also a huge awakening!! Tuesday after work we ran to town quickly to pu a couple of things … I was running out of greens for lunch. Stopped at Aldi and picked up some salad kits (I throw away the dressing…

Hi! I’m a new member Carla! I’ve been on MFP for years and years and years, had lost all my weight doing keto and kept it off pretty well until I had my first bought of cancer, gained some back but was okay with being an extra 10 lbs overweight. Had a reoccurrence in 2021 which included chemo and now medication which has a…

Go get a CPAP! It’s amazing how different you feel once starting and actually getting a good nights sleep. I went with a cushion instead of a mask and took a few days to get used to it but I’d never go back to sleeping without it! Also sleep apnea is so hard on your heart!! Get it ordered and get started!! Send me a…

Happy New Year! I would love to join this group! I’m Carla, 57 and life in the Midwest. I am a cancer survivor (twice) and because of treatments I now have liver and heart issues. I’ve been told by two doctors to start the Mediterranean Diet. I’ve been pretty good following it and it’s really tasty. Weird how I can eat…
-
I am also following the Mediterranean Diet for health reasons. I’d love some friends on MFP that also follow this WOE!!
-
I haven’t signed up either. - where does the time go??!! I’ve been on RHCS’s in the past but if full I’m fine with another team ☺️ Thank you all for everything you do!!

Hi I just found this challenge and I am desperate for motivation!! I’m Carla, 57 and live in Minnesota. Going through some health issues and was told I need to lose 10 lbs - it’s coming off very slow but I’m also on a medicine that causes weight gain! Ugh!! Makes it hard. I think I have the food portion pretty good…

I’m back! I took a break in the summer but I really need to start getting healthier. Too much happening and I’m too young for all this crap 🤣
