Hi everyone! It's nice to meet you! My goals are: - Cut back on sugar and alcohol - Eat more protein and seasonal fruits and vegetables - Move more: a walk, dancing around the house, hand washing the car, etc - Do yoga at least 2-3 times a week - Last but not least, lose some pounds :) I probably want to lose about 10 lbs,…

I'm friending you :) I'm coming back after a long absence from MFP, and want to stay positive and support my MFP pals!!

Hello! Just sent you a request :)
-
Hey Hannah, nice to meet ya!
-
I just want to say: good for you! I was very impressed when I saw you have been sober for so long. Really great job!!! As for me, I will cut out fast foods and sugary snacks from my diet (or enjoy in moderation), and eat more veggies and lean proteins! I will stop eating food just for the taste of it, or when I'm stressed.…

That sounds like something I'd love to see, Mr Mike! Personally, I'm considering Anna from Frozen, but I change my mind every day :) I like your latest idea. Costumes with good creepy factor is what makes Halloween so special!
-
Good luck to you too! Those are all worthwhile goals!! I know how hard it can be to even pick up a book - I've been meaning to do that for two weeks now, and I'm starting to believe that "I have no time" has become an excuse for me. Gotta fix that! My goals are: Exercise daily, recognize when I want to stress-eat, and be…

I drink a lot of ground chicory root - you just mix it with hot water and get something akin to coffee in both taste and look. Then I add organic milk - whatever fat I have on hand. Chicory has fiber (if you need that) and no caffeine at all. There are also powdered barley "coffees", which are similar in preparation - you…

Thanks, I will definitely check it out! Sounds useful :)

Hi Sara! I'm 23 and I'm also a newbie to the group. I'll be trying clean eating for the first time starting today, for the next week. My weight has been seriously yo-yoing ever since middle school, and I feel like it's hurting my body. So I'm trying something new :) I'm 5'4" and I weigh around 135, but this has been my…

I love the idea of keeping a pre-recorded snack on your nightstand/near the bed !! In fact, I keep a couple snacks (crackers, prunes, almonds, granola bars, and the like) in a plastic container in one of my drawers, for that same reason. Sometimes I'm full after dinner, but by the time bedtime rolls around, I'm starving!…

A very reasonable argument. You have my support.

Hello df1982! Hello group members! :) I've been MIA for a few weeks, but trying to follow my goals even away from MFP. But I do enjoy sharing them on here, and I've missed this group! First off, df1983: Congratulations on your journey thus far, you have made some amazing progress! You're right, it is SO hard to keep up a…

Taylorxxlynne - love your reward! I've always wanted to go to Yosemite :) I will also quickly summarize my progress this week so far. I'm going up to Maine for an entire week starting this weekend, and so I won't have the chance to give a Sunday update. So a Thursday update will have to suffice :) I've met my goals of 30…

^^^^^^ Agree.
-
I like those goals, Katie! Especially the wellness one - a lot of people overlook the importance of reflecting on their day, and their state of mind. We end up trapped in our daily routines because we don't allow ourselves a few moments to put the brakes on..
-
Fitness - Get at least 30 min exercise daily Nutrition - Stop eating when I feel full :) Wellness - When I feel stressed or overwhelmed, take a step back and reevaluate my feelings. Be mindful of how I feel and how I approach stressful situations. Week 2 Reward - Have a nice long soak in the hot tub *** P.S. My reward for…
-
I stopped for the same reason. I'll weigh in in 2 weeks or so, when I come back from my vacation to Maine. It'll keep me on my toes while in Maine :)
-
Wow, congratulations on your huge success!!! :drinker: I hope to lose my last 10-15 lbs soon, but after reaching my goal weight I would like to build more muscle. Would you recommend lifting to a female (I've always thought of it as a "guy thing")? Is it the best way to get stronger muscles and maintain them? I'm still…
-
BIG CONGRATS!!! :drinker: :heart: That's exactly what I need too -- consistency. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing great, but then a bad day or week comes along, and I really struggle putting the pieces back together :( But I AM working on this. Each one of us is a work in progress, and we have to do our best with what we're…
-
Hi there! It's Saturday midday here, and technically my week will be over tomorrow night, but I wanted to post an update since I'm already here :) My week 1 actually went pretty well. I've hit my daily fiber goal (>25g), exercise goal (30 min a day minimum), and my mental wellness goal -- to take a deep breath and don't be…
-
Chococatte, sounds like you're getting some great fitness results, and establishing some nice ground rules for a successful routine in the future! I haven't weighed myself for about 3 weeks now, over which time I know I've achieved lots of good things, both "scale" and "non-scale." :) I've been wondering recently whether I…
-
I am considering becoming an RD :) But as others pointed out, it's good to bring lots of relevant information with you, so that the RD can tailor their advice to your specific situation and goals. Don't be afraid to ask questions, or ask them to clarify anything or provide examples. I've always felt that…
-
Love it!! Such a great idea to read instead of browsing the Internet (on the laptop or the phone) before bed :) I want to do more yoga as well!!!
-
Hello, everyone! I posted about my weekly goals in the other thread, but I'm happy to report that I've been on track for the third day now! :) Getting my 25g fiber, exercise, and trying to better manage stress :) How's everyone else doing? Welcome, ruby70, summerlovin, and discobarbie!!! :heart:
-
Hi Eava! I got down to my last 15 or so pounds and like you I cannot budge the numbers!! :( What I'm trying now is just to ignore the scale (haven't weighed in in 2 weeks) and go with how my body feels. I have a hunch that part of why I can't lose the rest of the weight is because I get so psyched/anxious about finally…
-
That's great!! I don't know what my final reward will be yet :) But probably a trip of some kind!
-
Oh. My. God. Why did I not know such a thing existed? This is the stuff of dreams...
-
Thank you!!! I like your #2! Simple and effective!
-
Confidently - read your rant, and I feel so mad at the uncle on your behalf! :explode: :grumble: Some people just don't have a big heart to accept and love people for who they really are :( I'm sorry you have to put up with this behavior. This quote often helps me keep my head held high when I feel judged: "No one can make…
