Yay! My new rower arrived. The seat/bar folds up when not in use.

@melichalupa - glad to see you again! regrouping for the new year sounds good! @ClearNotCloudyMind - I live in a suburb of Denver, lots of single family homes and boring chain stores in our area. The nice thing about this city is that there are a fair amount of parks and trails that we can get to from almost any part of…

I got 19k steps in yesterday - between my morning walk and then an early evening movie-treadmill session, it was good! Today I just finished up a really lovely 3 mile walk outside. It's in the low 60s today, so I didn't even need the light jacket I'd brought with me - the long sleeve shirt I had was sufficient. I've got…

Hope those who celebrate are having a good Christmas. I started my day with a short walk (about 1.4 miles). I was able to minimize food damage by only bringing a reasonable amount home with me to eat - 1 cannollini, 3 street tacos (probably could've done with 2), 2 tortilla/meat/cheese roll-up things (which I'll eat…

@ClearNotCloudyMind - love the cake!! The cat figure on top is great. :smile: And big congrats on hitting both your weight and waist targets! That's really exciting. I hope you're able to enjoy yourself tomorrow without too much stress over food. The sun was out here today as well - I went for a short 1.25 mile walk in the…

I realized today that I've spend less than $250 on food this month, which is a huge improvement from prior months. It's amazing how quickly my food bill drops when I cut out fast food/delivery! I don't expect to have to buy much more (if anything) this month, so I'm quite pleased that I've come in below budget for the…

Ahh... went off track a bit yesterday with some late night snacking (I have this big bag of sour candy from pre-trying-to-lose-weight) and I made a good dent in it last night. But - I did log everything. I think last night I was just tired and stressed because of my pup who had 11 teeth pulled, but he's doing better today…

Also, random revelation that occurred to me this morning: yesterday was not the best food day - I ended up drinking my Starbucks for breakfast and then I had a Whopper Jr. as my main dinner because I was unexpectedly out & about. However, I didn't let that derail me! Because of my activity I got in during the day, I…

Hi all! I'm in a great mood today because I passed the 15# lost threshold this morning. :smile: I've walked 5 miles per day over the last 3 days (Sat/Sun/Mon) - I won't be hitting that today as I'm working all day (took yesterday afternoon off) and have a blister on my heel from a loose shoe. My stepcount those days was…

I've tracked my food using MFP and my calories burned using FitBit for 30 days now!! I'm so proud of myself!

@Gefiun - we all need our days where we stay in bed till 10:30! :smile: @ClearNotCloudyMind - Congrats on seeing 73kg on the scale! I know it's important to look at non-scale stuff too, but it sure is satisfying when our work pays off on the scale. I hope you had a great solstice yourself! There's a tradition here in…

I was so thrilled to see a big drop on the scale this morning - I've been bouncing around the last week up and down, and today it was down another 3.2 pounds. I'm super close to 15 pounds lost! My stretch goal for the end of December is to hit 230, with a more realistic goal being 232 - but I'm going to keep trying! It…

@ClearNotCloudyMind - I love Bones, too! I had the joy of introducing my wife to it and we watched the full series several times. I put it on sometimes to fall asleep to. @Nikalris - yeah, the downside of working from home is that I've ended up regularly sleeping in way later than I would otherwise, so that I just roll out…

@roxinronni - how's the caffeine withdrawal going? Great job on hitting 10k steps for a few days - how's that goal going for you? @ClearNotCloudyMind - would you find any satisfaction in finding some healthy-ish (or healthier) recipes that you could make & enjoy that would fit in with how you're trying to eat? I know it's…

Ahh.... yesterday kind of went off the rails for no good reason, but I'm back on track today. I did make myself track everything I ate so that I could see the damage. :lol: I don't have time at the moment to go back and catch-up with everyone, but I really will do that after work today. Yay for it being Friday!! I'm…

Hi all! I had a good day yesterday - I did a little under 2 miles on the treadmill (ended up with about 11k steps) and I ate pretty light due to the day prior. MFP didn't like my calorie intake, but I figured for one day given the circumstances, it was fine. The scale was down this morning losing all of yesterday's gain…

Well, yesterday did not end up being a great day. On the upside, I got almost 12k steps in. On the downside, I slipped back into old patterns and stress-ate way more than I should have (peanut butter/chocolate chips and some candy was involved). The scale's up this morning, but I know it has to be temporary because I still…

Oh man, I've got a headache and am feeling tired and cranky. This is typically when I would go and binge eat... so I've gotta stay strong this afternoon/evening! :s
