Hi guys! Previous posters are right, this is an awesome group and I'm so happy I joined! My name is Kristy and I'm back for a second month. I didn't do as well as I'd hoped in April. I've been on MFP since 2012. Lost around 45 lbs and was very active and fit. Had a couple of injuries that sidelined me and I fell back into…

Username: DeshotelK Week: April Week 4 PW: 189.4 CW: 191.8 Knew I’d have a gain, but I’m not giving up. On to next month!

Hi. I’m in Thibodaux about 3 hours south of you.

I started off strong and then stuff happened. I stopped tracking, got discouraged, and then decided to take a break while on vacation. We all have bumps in the road. Everyone in this group is so encouraging. Today is a new day. (((hugs)))

Hi guys! Back from vacation and ready to get back to it. For the last week, I have not tracked. I know I over did it on calories and no exercise. The day we left, my daughter started with the flu. I spent 5 days confined to a camper with a sick child and nothing to do other than play board games, read, and eat out of…

Daily Post: April 17/18 Track: no Calories under goal: No Exercise: no Been a rough week at work and home. Stress ate. Will weigh in tomorrow and know it will be a gain. We leave tomorrow morning for 5 days camping on a lake. No cell service so I won’t be able to check in until Wednesday.

Daily Post Tuesday Track: yes Calories: over by 130 Exercise: no Grabbed a couple of fun size Milky Way Caramel candies and didn’t check the calories. 100 calories for a fun size. Threw me over. And I was doing so well today. 😐

Daily Post (Monday) Track: somewhat Calories: over Exercise: none My almost 15 yr old is having anxiety issues. I'm a worried mom who stress eats. Trying to be more mindful today.

I feel like I could have written this myself. We are going camping on a lake with friends for 5 days. I'm stressing over how I'm going to limit myself. Hoping I'll get in some hiking and bike riding around the lake.

Oh wow! I had an extremely busy weekend and didn't log in and come back to 64 new messages! I'll catch up in a minute. Daily check in for Sat/Sun Logged: No Calories: Probably over Exercise: No Volleyball is over and Saturday was the drama play so that's now over too! Yay!! Yesterday was a day of catching up on things I've…

Daily Post: April 12th Track: No Calories: I’m sure it’s over Exercise: None Crazy busy day at work and didn’t have my normal packed foods. I snacked on chocolate. It was there and I was hungry. Dinner was a hamburger and fries at the ballpark.

Username: DeshotelK Week: April Week 2 PW: 190.2 CW: 189.4 So excited to be under 190 again! Exceeded my goal for April. Guess I need a new goal. :)

Daily Post: April 11th Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: No

Awesome!!

No one tells you that when you've regained and are starting over, it's a painfully slow process.

That is so sweet! It warmed my heart. <3

Daily Post: Wed, 4/10 Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: None This is our last week of being gone every night with my daughter's activities. Tonight is another out of town volleyball game. Last game of the season. We have softball opening tournament game tomorrow night and then drama play Saturday evening. Volleyball and…

Daily Post: Tuesday 9 April Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: No Comments: Overall was a good day. Volleyball out of town tonight so no exercise. One of these days...

Mon April 8 Daily check in Tracked: yes Calories: under Exercise: no Knew I wouldn’t have time to exercise after work so I took a walk around campus. Not much, but a 20 min walk felt good in the cool breeze and cleared my head.

I'm also 5'9". When I am at a higher weight, it takes at least 20 lbs for me to notice in my clothes. It took 35 for me to drop a size. Once I got close to goal (the first time around... I'm back up 30 lbs), it didn't take as much. If I dropped 5 -10 lbs I noticed.

You made me go check it out. Now that's the motivation I needed today! Great job everyone!!

I'm feeling the same way. I feel like I just can't get a handle on it. I'm glad for this group though. It's comforting to know there are others with struggles similar to my own and we can all be here to help each other out along the way.

Daily Post: April 6 & 7 Track: No Calories: Over Exercise: No Fellow Slimsons I need help. How do you manage busy weekends and family celebrations that revolve around food? I did not log in this weekend. Saturday we were at the ballpark most of the day and then celebrated my parents 45th anniversary. Yesterday, we were at…

Daily Post: April 5 Track: Yes Calories: Over Exercise: No Family movie night complete with ice cream and cookies. I’m so weak. ☹️

I've never had muscular legs no matter what workouts I do. I don't lift heavy though. Tried it for a while and simply hate lifting. I'm 40 and have always had cellulite and have always been envious of those who have beautiful firm legs! I'm embracing my imperfections these days, cellulite be damned!

Hi M'agers! I've been away from this group for a while. I let a busy life with kids involved in many sports/social activities get in the way of taking care of myself. I decided to join a challenge group on MFP and am trying to be more active with the social side, not just tracking. This week has been great. I'm finding…

Username: DeshotelK Week: April Week 1 PW: 195.8 CW: 190.2 This has been a good week. My weakness is with over doing it on the weekends. We have a busy one so hopefully it’ll stop me from grazing. Happy Friday!

Daily Post: Thu, 4/4 Track:Yes Calories:Under Exercise:Elliptical 20 min. Not much, but better than nothing. Comments:Another good calorie tracking day. I think joining this group is exactly what I needed to get me back to being mindful. And hopefully back into my old smaller clothes!

Daily Post: Wednesday, 4/3 Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: No. Goals/Comments: Daughter got called to play softball. Not enough girls. Volleyball hasn’t finished yet so I’m pretty much on the road every night with her sports. I’m not allowing anything during the summer. I need a break. I really need to figure out a…
