What a lovely note! Thank you and back at you!

Watching American Psycho and pondering making dinner

Waiting for my daughter to get out of her comic creating class. :)

Hi Rashmi and everyone!! This looks like a great group, and would love to join in. I am a chronic relapser. I am getting older and think it's catching up with me! I NEED to feel better. Here I am again!

Hi All! Checking in, it's been about a week since I've been on. My husband works over the road and when he is home, I am so lazy in every aspect. LOL I have been making good choices but not weighing and watching like I should. I stayed the same weight this week, so at least no gain. He needs to get back out on that road so…

Checking in, hi all! Yesterday and today's eating have been a little too relaxed eating for my liking. My husband is an OTR driver and has been home since Friday. I get so lazy and SO LAX when he's home. That is the last piece that I need to get under control for this to work! Otherwise, it's been a decent today, nothing…

@Snowflake1968 I am the student :) . I found a channel where the guy starts at the super super basics, right down to how to hold the pencil to make clean lines. I used to draw pretty well and constantly when I was young, but put the pencil down about 25 years ago. Drawing feels so foreign to me now, and I'm nowhere near as…

Good Sunday morning! Woke up to some more fluffy snow on top of the large amount of fluffy snow that fell yesterday LOL finally had our first snow plow go down our street this morning so it looks like the digging out will begin. My husband generally works on the road as he is an over-the-road driver, but luckily he is home…

Hi All! @Sparkle1098 I am in northeast Ohio, about 45 minutes SE of Cleveland. Last I saw before it got dark, it looked like maybe 5 or 6 inches have fallen so far. Supposed to snow through the night, have a breather then lake effect snow is supposed to start tomorrow night! Out advisory doesn't expire until 4am Monday!…

Hi All! Today has been spent on my couch riding out Winter Storm Harper. Still coming down pretty good out there, very thankful for a warm home and that my family is home safe with me, and that I know all of my friends are also home safe. Been enjoying some TV and cooking today. Attached is my dinner of cheeseburger with…

@Tilliesmommy1 That looks delicious!

Hi @Sparkle1098 ! Welcome! I'm pretty new myself :) WTG on not eaing that donut! 2 HOURS! That is some iron-clad willpower! I am also interested in knowing what people think of the premium MFP. @theslightedgeforever I measured the yogurt and peanut butter the first time, but now just eye it! I believe the measurements were…

Thank you for the warm welcome! Today was a good day. Last week's (which was week 1 for me) focus was getting my butt up in the mornings to exercise, no matter what it was. Once I got that down, this week's focus is logging and paying close attention to my portion sizes as well as my hunger cues. For example, I take a…

And since there are fellow puppy parents here, I'd like to introduce my kids, Bach and Tinkerbell :) . They were helping me decorate the Christmas tree this year lol

Thank you for posting this! I was so excited to try it, it was actually my dinner tonight lol . So good! I did without the honey or extra vanilla.

Hi!! Starting weight/current weight: 228 lb Goal weight: 148 lb, ultimate 125 Height: 5'1" Age: 40 Sex: female I need as much encouragement and involvement as I can get (and give!)

I am very excited to find this thread! I used to run a daily thread on WW years ago called Recommittment Challenge! I would love to join in if that's ok?? I am a nearly 41 year old mom (to one 8 year old human and two boxers) and a wife to my amazing husband of nearly 10 years. I'm excited to be here, and hope it's ok to…

I made a big ol'post, and I lost it! Lol I am very excited to find this thread! I am the poster child of serial starters! Lol I even used to run a daily thread on WW years ago called Recommittment Challenge! (Is WW deleting the forums??) I am a nearly 41 year old mom (to one 8 year old human and two boxers) and a wife to…

Good morning! Piece by piece, I'm putting the puzzle together to do this right!! Happy to be here!

Hello again! Today is week 2 of pulling myself out of bed at 5am for morning workout, and today is also day 1 of logging! The hardest part of this this for me is exercising, so I needed to get that under control FIRST!! Here I go! On top of re-committing myself to this process, I have begun working on getting myself back.…

Hi All! I am 40, nearing 41, and from Ohio. I lost nearly 100lbs 13 years ago, gosh I felt wonderful! Then when I got pregnant 10 years ago, I gained 85lbs and haven't been able to lose it since! I feel like I am constantly starting and failing. And the older I get, the harder it gets. When I lost the weight before, I did…

Maybe it's because I am tired but net and total are confusing me. What is the difference between net and total?

Everything!!

I hate yard work with passion! Hire!!

I 100% agree with the zigzagging of calories. I do it all the time to get me out of a rut.

Fat free dairy of any kind. GROSS.

I agree, the "advice" on how to parent your kids were ALL uncalled for, for sure. If you wanted parenting advice, you'd probably be on How Do I Parent.com or something. LOL While I used to be the judgmental A-hole, once I became a parent, I realized no one knows their kids better than their mom. You know your kids better…

I'LL use all those suggestions, though! Thanks Everyone!

You must not be reading most of these responses. Day care has been suggested several times, yes, but there have been many viable suggestions beyond that as well. I saw baby gate, high chairs, TV time, dancing WITH your kids, long walks in strollers and strapping your kid to you, up earlier, bed later, 10 minutes of…
