Kristy 43 years old 5' 9" CW: 230'ish (I'll do a proper starting weight tomorrow morning) I've been struggling with weight gain for the last three years. Had some medical issues this year and I'm at a point where I'm really unhappy with my weight, fitness level, and general health overall. This morning, I decided to reset…

I've been looking for a menopause group as well. I had a hysterectomy 9 years ago. Still have my ovaries. No way to know for sure if I'm in peri or straight menopause, but in the last year I've started with all the symptoms. I've had very mild symptoms over the last 5 years, but nothing like what's now happening. I will be…

MFP User ID: DeshotelK Weigh-In Day: Friday SW Starting Weight: 213

5' 9", age 41. I was at my goal a few years ago, 160 lbs and very active and fit. Then I started having lower disc issues in my back. That slowed me down a lot. Then knee surgery slowed me down even more. Started trying to get back on track and broke my foot two years ago. Add in meds that increase my appetite. And here I…

Weekly Weigh In Username: DeshotelK June Week 1 Current Weight: 198.6 Well dang it. It jumped up 4 lbs one day and it’s been this weight for three days. Grrr...

Hi Slimsons! I've had a break these last 4 days. On Saturday, we had an out of town wedding. It was great visiting with family that we only get to see once a year. Sunday we pulled the camper to a water park type place. It was a very relaxing and much needed break. Unfortunately, I did not track my calories for 4 days and…

Awesome!

Years ago, when I was at my lowest weight, I weighed 165. I'm 5'9" and have a fairly broad frame. I felt great, but wanted to get down a few more pounds. Mainly because I was in between sizes and 5-10 lbs more would have put me comfortably in a lower size. My family was horrible to me. I was always the "big" one and for…

Daily Post (Wednesday) Track: Yes Calories: Over Exercise: No I was on target with my calories. Then late last night my daughter sat by me with a box of Cheese Nips while we watched Paranormal Caught on Camera and I sort of just snacked with abandon on those crisp cheesy little squares of yummy goodness. Don't know how…

Daily Post Tuesday 5/28 Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: No Allergies were acting up from all of the dust being stirred up in my house with the renovations. Took a Benadryl and it knocked me out. I slept sooooo well last night! I hadn't been sleeping well for about a week and was exhausted, my anxiety was acting up,…

Hello Slimsons! My name is Kristy. I'm a 40 yr old mom of two teenagers, 15 yo son and 13 yo daughter. Married for 19 years. I'm from southeast Louisiana where the most incredible food is life. Everything revolves around food in these parts. This will be my third month with the Slimsons and it's just the best group of…

Thanks you all for your support. @AB0215 You're right. Being down about a rough patch isn't very productive and I'm grateful that others here have faced similar struggles and know what it's like right now. I won't let this derail me from my goals. It may be super slow going, but I'm still going!

Hi Team Slimsons! I've been MIA for a few days. It seems like this is a constant losing battle. I was so excited for the end of the school year because I would finally have time to focus on myself. I would have time to get in those workouts that I miss so much and time to get back to meal prep/planning. Someone has other…

Username: DeshotelK Weekly Weigh In PW: 193.6 CW: 194.6 The scale is steadily moving in the wrong direction. I know I did a lot of stress eating over the last month and it will take time to reverse it. Today is a new day!

Daily Post for Tuesday Track: No Calories: I'm sure way over Exercise: No It was a busy day with 7th and 8th grade happenings. Last night was 8th grade closing ceremony. Fried fish, shrimp fettuccine, Cesar salad, cake. Today I'm retaining fluid and the pants are a bit snug. On the positive side, the 7th grader's last day…

Great job! I also love taco salad. Now I know what I will fix for dinner tonight... LOL

And now I'm drooling on my keyboard... :D

Daily Check-In Monday Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: Yes. 22 mins elliptical and a 15 min after dinner walk.

Hello M'Agers! Well, the trip to NOLA was okay. I'm not particularly a fan of New Orleans and we generally avoid it, but the kids enjoyed it. Breakfast at Cafe du Monde, toured St. Louis Cathedral, walked through the Cabildo museum, lunch on the Natchez for a river boat cruise, the aquarium, IMax, then takeout for supper.…

Thank you for this. I needed to see it today!

Username: DeshotelK Week: May Week 2 PW: 192.6 CW: 193.6 Forgot to weigh this morning. After a day of great food yesterday and a luncheon today I’m up. No more food events and things should calm down drastically so I’m looking forward now!

Daily Post - Tuesday 5/14 Track: Yes Calories: Slightly Over Exercise: Yes. 30 min weights, then an after dinner 20 min walk. Hadn't planned on the walk, but the weather was so nice and cool I couldn't stay inside.

Another one with so much exercise time! LOL The jealousy... and inspiration! It's awesome that you do this. You are a great motivation!

Awesome job at not eating the ingredients! My favorite part is licking the bowl!

Great job! I see these posts of people doing hours of work outs and wonder "How??" I'm lucky if I get to squeeze in 30 minutes and extremely lucky to get 45. It makes me insanely jealous! <3

I haven't been active in here in a while. Still reading the posts though. Hoping some of you guys can offer ideas on how I can manage the rest of my week food wise and not completely overdo it. My schedule: Wednesday: ballpark supper (daughter plays softball) Thursday: son's 8th grade field trip to New Orleans. All day…
