Just a quick note to say had much I love reading all the updates from all you awesome ladies, it really makes my day. I had planned to respond to a few but it’s 9:30pm here and I’m knackered and already in bed so I’ll save it for another time. But wanted to at least tell you guys you are fabulous! Have great days all.

Hi everyone! Looking forward to going on this month’s journey with you all 😊 Age: 38 Height: 5'8” Original SW: 254.1lb as of 8 Jan 2021 Month SW: 238.4lb GW for March: 233lb GW for 2021: 199lb or lower As with last month I find myself slightly up on my weigh in for the last day of Feb, ha! But I saw 236.6 last weekend so…

@RavenStCloud Thank you Raven for the March thread! Can’t wait to see all you amazing women over there 💪

Final weigh in for February... SW (Jan 2021): 254.1 February SW: 244.4 February GW: 238 Ultimate GW: 180 Feb 1 : 244.4 Feb 8: 242.8 Feb 15: 241.8 Feb 22: 240.6 Feb 28: 238.0 Made it, on the nose! Did see 236.6 yesterday so I’m confident things are still moving in the right direction. Thanks for another brilliant month…

I’m going back in time! Started over in January with a serious fire to get my backside in gear, as of today I’m back down lower than my weight last August (which was a half hearted attempt to get back on the wagon, I wasn’t ready then). Next stop, back to pre working from home weight in March 2020.

@goal06082021 @kali31337 - Such a good point about us all having different mindsets and behaviors, just the same way we all have different physiology. I'm 100% a moderator when I'm "on the wagon", as long as I'm actively - preferably pre-logging - all my food I can just take a reasonable portion of whatever treat that…

@mumof6sv so sorry for your loss. Sending support and strength your way. @pamiede I've not doubt you can hit that April goal, you're making a great recovery! I've just started a free trial of Openfit, has anyone used it? Just tried a live barre class and a recorded stretching class today. I like the live trainer…

Daily Post (Saturday) Track: Yes Calories: Yes, under Exercise: Yes, 45 min walk and 25 minute barre workout I've just started a free trial of Openfit, has anyone used it? I like the live trainer encouragement, and it's less than €100 for a whole year. Figure it's worth a go as lockdown here in Ireland isn't being lifted…

@wanderinglight that story about Patches has warmed my heart! Self confessed crazy cat lady here (and all round animal lover) so I love the efforts you went to. Hope kitty is ok, as well as all the local wildlife and livestock, and you of course! @_Joistick hello down there! You know I've still not made it to Wexford. I…

@uyister I've had a significant increase in those sorts of friend requests too, agree with @goal06082021 that they're likely bots. Those overtly "sexy" images are so rare on profile pics here, it shows that they don't fit the profile of a real MFP user. The ones I've got have been out of the blue too, never seen them on…

I'd highly recommend checking out Emma Gleeson's writing on decluttering - full disclosure, she is a friend of mine, but I only found out about her specialism in this area years after we met when it wasn't her main work. Her approach to tackling the consumer mindset so many of us are beholden to has been really valuable…

Welcome @jessicarawr and @WasteNotWench - you're in the right place for support and motivation! The ladies here are an amazing support to everyone and it's a pleasure to check in on new posts every day. @wanderinglight - me too, that is one thing that I can say I do prefer about strength over cardio, especially as my…

Daily Post (Tuesday) Track: Yes Calories: Yes, under Exercise: No Still not back in the groove today, nasty headache most of the day despite plenty of water and no caffeine, guess it's not a dehydration issue, and it's certainly not viral, I've not been anywhere with other people!

Well done everyone, and congrats @mfplm9608317 on your loss! Daily Post (Monday) Track: Yes Calories: Yes, under Exercise: No, TOM and am not feeling it!
