What I think helped: STREAKING BEHAVIOR CONTINUES........no eating after dinner! Final dose of MCT before bed...I tried 1tsp of MCT as a supplement before bed last night and maybe it…

This may be THE time....! Cheers to (re)starting.

WEIGH IN 9/15 was a good one! I made my goal for this week. What I think helped: STREAKING BEHAVIOR........no eating after dinner! Just gum and tea and electrolyte mix in water....I am finding that if I draw a line in the sand, I find that I am able to be content with a whole day of "feeding" behind me. I haven't eaten…

NO EATING AFTER DINNER. GOING FOR STREAKS - NIGHT No. 1 WAS SEPT. 3rd. ME: 5 LNS: 0 STREAK= 5...and the crowd goes wild!

WEIGH IN 9/8 is a WINNER! I made my goal for this week. What I think helped: I have pledged to be on a streak for not eating after dinner and I have stuck to it. This has created an intermittent fast routine that I think is critical for me and also it cuts down on mindless eating when I am tired. I am not eating calories I…

Hey TracyeS4! Yes, very unusual...I hope she is okay.

Hey >:) Team: Here's a motivating quote from someone who's been a MFP friend for three years. She's been trying to reclaim her motivation from a few years ago and just "got there" again. I'm super excited for her to experience her game-on mindset again. Here's what she wrote about how she's feeling right now: "I must say…

THEY WERE OUT OF SALAD AND I HAD TO DEFAULT TO PLAN B. PLAN B WAS A 1/2 OF PB&J AND VEGGIES. Arghhhhh. There was surely sugar in the jelly and the peanut butter.…

How to post a photo (web version) @sunshyneyday: I am now seeing a new icon in the bar as I write this reply to you. The icon is a black piece of paper with a dropdown arrow to the right of it. It's situated next to the hyperlink tab. Once you click on that arrow, you can upload a photo. It's much easier than it's been in…
