Hi all! I used to do this challenge a while ago but stopped...but now I'm back! I'm Christie, an Aussie, 36yo with a 3.5yo son at home. I work full time as an accountant, so I'm chained to a desk for 9 hours a day! Last year, I lost 30 lbs with the help of this challenge and a few others here on MFP. But around 9-10 months…

Daily Update: Wednesday was hectic, but I did manage to take a few short walking breaks at work so that was a small win. My eating habits have been a little better so I'm feeling pretty good about this week! I tested my fasting glucose this morning, came up at 5.3 mmol/L which is in the normal range, though on the higher…

Daily Update: Tuesday went pretty well. I didn't overeat anything, and actually didn't touch any of the snacks I brought to work with me so I've left them in the fridge for another day! My parents came to visit, so we had a few beers and hubby cooked some scotch fillet steaks on the BBQ for dinner. It was a great night and…

Daily update: Monday was exhausting. As Mondays tend to be! I didn't get a good night's sleep so I was tired and cranky all day. Did manage both my habits which is good though. Tonight we will have my parents come to visit for the night, they live on a farm 100km from us and will be travelling through for some medical…

Daily update: I had a decent day yesterday (Sunday). We spent all morning doing a thorough clean up of the house - my 3.5yo has toys and books everywhere so we tidied everything up and "archived" some toys that he's outgrown and doesn't use anymore (i.e. put them in storage). It feels much nicer now! In the evening I went…

This July I have two main focus areas for habit-forming: 1. Take a dose of my inositol supplement in the afternoons. This is important in curbing the afternoon blood sugar drop which causes me to crave (and eat) snacks. It comes in a powder form so I will put some in a container to take to work since I’m there in the…

You are all so inspiring! I have been in this group for ages but haven't been active in some time. But I'm off track, entirely. Last year I lost 30+ lbs and then let myself get slack over Christmas and haven't gotten back on track since. I've gained back most of what I lost and I can't seem to find what it was that got me…

I had this problem for a few days, but it seems to be working again now. When mine wasn't syncing, I went into my Apple Health app, and turned the sync off and on again from there, then manually refreshed in MFP app and it worked. In Apple Health app, tap your initials in the top right corner, then tap Apps under the…

I don't mind the new dashboard layout, seems some people are having trouble finding the features but that's just a learning curve. I like that you can add foods with one tap right from the dashboard. I did have an issue for a few days where my workouts weren't syncing from Apple Health - I just went into my Health settings…

This is the BEST challenge on MFP!

@ssarahfulton I saw that you requested to join the Gryffindor Tower group - that group is part of this Hogwarts challenge. If you're interested in joining, please fill out the application in the link above! I have sent you a PM as well, but since we aren't MFP friends, I'm not sure that you will receive it. I hope that you…

I'm doing the Move program too! They release at 9pm my time (Australia) which is around the time that I usually exercise anyway (after I put my kiddo to bed) so it's kind of like having a class to go to! I have enjoyed the first 4 sessions, though I'm a little bit sore from all the core work. Definitely looking forward to…

The thing with PF is you can treat the symptoms with stretching etc. but if you never get to the CAUSE then it will continue to be a problem. While the pain presents in the foot, it can actually be caused by weak/unbalanced muscles all the way up in the glutes! I suffered immensely a while ago, and still do from time to…

Hi Aussies! I hope that you all had a merry Christmas and you're gearing up for a fantastic new year!! I'm thinking about starting a little mini challenge in the group in the new year, who would be interested in that? I'm going to start an accountability thread too, so we can help each other to stay on track. Let's do…

I agree about the number of comments, it would be useful to see these again. In terms of seeing your bookmarked posts, I notice at the bottom of my page in the iOS app, there is a Quick Links section which has My Bookmarks - clicking that shows a list of discussions I have bookmarked. The same section appears to the right…

@Betty Thank you for continuing to monitor this thread and responding! One thing that I did want to mention is frustrating: in the old forum layout, there was always a link at the bottom of the page that could take you back to the group/category (i.e. up a level). This was very handy, because you could read through the…

I haven't had it, but have a dozen or so friends who have, so I can share a little of their experiences. A little over half of them regret having the surgery, as it wasn't the simple process they thought it would be (I think they were hoping for that magic solution, but didn't realise how much hard work and will power they…

Hope everybody is staying safe and doing well! I was supposed to start working on site again from today, but managed to get them to see that goes against what the public health orders say at the moment. Not to mention that our entire finance department sits in one shared office so if one of us gets the virus, the entire…

Even if you DID have weight to lose, this is a dangerous approach. You're either not eating enough for your body to function, or you're overexercising which can result in injury, or both. Either way, it is not sustainable and it is not healthy. Your body needs proper fuelling to sustain itself, and if you're exercising a…

Hahahha yeah we're out between Dubbo and Broken Hill so quite rural! We do get mountain bread here, I'll have to try some - thanks! Would also love to try the recipe if you don't mind sharing!

That does sound exhausting, I didn't know you were in one of those "LGAs of concern". We aren't as restricted here (rural NSW) but since we are a small town, access to a lot of goods/services is restricted a lot at the moment. Even our Service NSW centre is closed, so hubby will need to drive to the next town (130km away)…

Started feeling a bit overwhelmed lately - hubby has just started up a yard maintenance business, he is the stay at home parent in our family so with him being more busy, it means I am doing a lot more housework now. Feeling the pressure! I had to drop out of some of the groups I was in here on MFP because it was just…

I am afraid that I need to disconnect from the group for a while. I am feeling quite overwhelmed with everything I have going on at the moment and just don't have the time to visit often enough. I'm sorry to let the team down, I just feel like I need to minimise my online time right now. I may rejoin later on when I feel…
-
Oh I so wish we had a Woolies or Coles here! The nearest ones are 300km away so it’s a choice of two IGAs for us - both owned by the same company! 🤦🏼♀️ There are a lot of products we just can’t get and the fresh produce is…less than average most of the time. I sometimes drink Cottees “no sugar added” cordial (I like fruit…

@Cornanda Sounds like that rest will be well-deserved!! Best of luck with the move. @TeresaW1020 It's so frustrating when you are ill and can't do the things you think you should be able to, isn't it?! Bailing on the church kids sounds like a good idea - not only avoiding the pizza but also making sure the kids don't catch…

@Katmary71 Audio Trip is a dancing game on my virtual reality headset. It's a lot of fun, and time passes quickly lol Sorry to hear about the cracked windscreen - mine has about 4 chips in it from rocks kicked up by passing vehicles, I need to get it replaced but haven't gotten around to it. Hope your stomach settles down…

August 17th: ✅ Tracked all my calories :frowning: Stayed under calorie goal ✅ Exercised more than 20 mins (20 mins on stationary bike) 8/17 days 9/3 pass days used You know, I totally forgot about all the great discussions yesterday on trigger foods etc. and ate wayyyy too many Pringles. Only like 15 calories over for the…
