Hi folks! I used to be a regular here and fell off the wagon. Life dealt me some blows and my weight has crept up again. Not as high as previously, but too high for my own good. Let me reintroduce myself: My name is Tracy. I am 48 years old and live in Mandan, ND. Since I was here last, I've had my mother pass, my brother…

@ladylaura777 ... Experiment some more. I use frozen fruit in mine. I've tried lots of different combinations. Peach is a pretty powerful flavor (although it's not a personal favorite, but it might mask the "green")

Didn't get on the scale this morning. My husband came home from his night shift and asked if I was going to work today...10 minutes AFTER I was supposed to leave the house! :blush: Needless to say, nothing that wasn't absolutely necessary got done this morning. But I did manage to pack a quick lunch as I headed out the…

I know it’s not Wednesday, but I wish that when you did well for a day you’d immediately see some type of movement on the scale. :wink: Thank you to everyone for your wishes/prayers for my son. He’s doing pretty good as far as the head goes…body is slowly mending as well thanks to a very good chiropractor. @Niki – happy…

@amberkins… I had Gastric Sleeve in August 2016. No judgement from me. It’s still important to log your food, etc so MFP is a great place to be. And I can say I’ve not had any judgement on this thread. @Katrena… hope your daughter gets better soon. @glassgirlw2018… I loved water aerobics. I’m only walking right now (trying…

@amberkins… I think that way of goal setting is really good. Celebrate the victories! @BarneyRubbleMD… Good job at looking at the big picture. I think we all get hard on ourselves and should look at how far we’ve come and not just how far we’ve got to go. @Holly… my hubby and I’ve talked extensively that after my mom is…

@Nikion901.. maybe your battery needs changing in your scale. That happened to me. Once I got a new battery it was pretty consistent. @kbeyer23.. date nights are always great! @mnwalkingqueen.. So sorry to hear about your son. Nice consistency with the gym. @bapcarrier…sounds like you have some fun months coming up. Enjoy.…

OH MY GOSH! Did any of you watch the Vikings/Saints game???!!! It was amazing! We landed on the right side of a fun ending. My husband hasn’t spoken to me yet (although to be fair, he stayed up and I went to bed since we work opposite shifts). WOW!!! On to Philadelphia and the Eagles. (I typed that and my stomach started…

Sorry, been absent from this thread…dang busy week at work and that’s where I sign in and update. Good old year end reviews that I had to have done by today. Well, they are done and here I am  Looks like people are having some success – great to see!! @Margie… Yah vacation gain gone! The water definitely helps and that is…

Tuesday Goals: • The gym 3 times this week • Make supper 5 out of 7 nights (that allows for supper at church one night and a “whatever” day to not make anything • Log everything everyday @Niki… Keeping the kitchen sink and counter clear…oy. My kids don’t allow for that! @Birgit… the holidays are done and we can just move…

Monday Check In: Apparently, weekends aren’t good for me! YUCK! I went on dates with my 2 kids…did good through the meals and then treated myself to popcorn and frozen cokes for the movies. Had a great time with the kids and I’m back at it today. I just can’t have this become a pattern for me. @Cyndy… It would be hard when…

Friday Fitness: My plan for the week is to be at the gym 3 times. @Niki… I always go in and try to plan my food for the day (adjust carbs etc as needed), but then I go back in and log after the meals too so I have an exact replication of my day. @Connie… water weight is still weight! (That’s what my loss was too) AFM: I…

Thursday Truth: Today was going to be day 2 of my C25K program, but my legs hurt too much to do it. One more day of rest and I’ll hit it tomorrow instead. @BarneyRubbleMD…wow! You’ve had a great year for weight loss! Keep it up! @Karen.. I can say that I’m glad I got my automatic car starter installed 3 weeks ago…just in…

@bapcarrier... thanks! I’ve updated it below. @raindogmaa… I think using crutches should count…that’s hard work! @happygirlxxx… don’t get down on yourself…look where you were at the beginning of 2017 and again at the end…overall a great success! @skinnyjeanzbound… Karen, yesterday was a heat wave here in ND. On January…

Monday check-in (oops...it's Tuesday!! :smiley: ): the holidays are over and I’m ready to get to this fight against my weight. I have slowly increased the amount of food I eat at one time and let carbs/soda get back into my life. DONE! We were in the car coming home from our last holiday yesterday so my “first” day is…

Just hopping on to say hi to everyone. My migraine is gone. I got into the chiropractor yesterday afternoon and I had a compacted neck -- he actually said "Wow Tracy! you only have about 75% function. I can't believe you're not in pain." As soon as he adjusted me, instance relief!! YAY! I go back on Tuesday to make sure it…

Thank you for the warm welcome. Yesterday was a bit tough…was home only for about 15 minutes and didn’t have supper prepared so it was a grab what was available. Plus I had a migraine start and then full blown by 9 pm. Today it’s building again…I can’t get to the chiropractor until 5 so I’m having a rough day…but on the…

Hi everyone! I need some motivation and this was where I found it quite some time ago, so if I can, I'd love to join back up. My name is Tracy and I live in ND with my husband, 2 kids and 2 dogs. I had gastric sleeve surgery over a year ago and lost 70 pounds but am now "stuck" between 65-70 pounds. I allowed carbs (which…

I love me some chips! What I've asked my family to do is to either have the kind I don't like (BBQ comes to mind) or to take them to the family room downstairs (where I almost never am) and not let me know they are here. I feel I should be able to suck it up, but history shows they are my enemy.

We just got back from a 2 week vacation...we walked a ton. It was hot and humid and I made it. I was even the last one standing many of the days. 2 towers and 1 lighthouse climbed on top of it all. Although I ended up breaking my Fitbit...new one should be delivered today!

Just had a family reunion and I was able to participate in the sack race...no worries that I wouldn't fit in it.

Try to be active during your vacation...I made sure to have lots of hiking, biking, swimming etc. I like the idea of doing youtube workout videos in your hotel room. Get the blood flowing in the morning before you start your day. Continue to log your meals.
