Happy weekend all! My goals for the weekend is to eat better than usual and to get in some exercise. Should be easy, yes?! Next week I am able to lift light weights with my knees. So, that's my goal for next week! This group has been a huge impact on my weight lose journey. Thank you all so much. I don't want this group to…

feeling good lately. most clothing is fitting differently. I am wondering about purchasing new jeans. I have had the same 2 pair for 2+ years. They don't feel any different, but wonder if it's because they are so old and wash so much that they slowly shrunk over time. dreaming of how I would love some chocolate very badly,…

@mistydm76 checking in on you today. how are you feeling? are you feeling better about your situation
-
Today is a day where I can't seem to feel full! I am now drinking my 3 water jug (32oz), so hydration isn't an issue. Must stay focused! :#

@mistydm76, I just calculated on MFP if your goal weight is 130 and you try to loose 1# a week, you should be consuming 1300 calories a day. You mentioned you over do your fat macro and are lower on protein. Try to play with food where you eat more on target for both. The protein will fill you up longer and not store as…

@mistydm76 , just sent you a friend request.

Take a deep breath. How do your clothes fit you? Your calorie intake amount might be off. When was the last time you input all your data in to check on how many calories a day you should be eating? Have you looked at the macros goals (nutrition info to see how much protein/sugar etc) you are meeting?

OK. I need some serious intervention. I have the world's worst sweet tooth. I am constantly craving something sweet. mostly as long as it is chocolate. all the time. I log it all. but, seriously, eating daily isn't good. I have to break the habit. I tried to for Lent. No go. broke it day one! What is wrong?!

@huango ! that's awesome about your night time snacking! Keep up the great work. @daneiel amazing job on the current weight loss! How long did it take you to go from 163-141.5 and what did you find to be the most successful thing to help that happen? Thanks for sharing. Welcome everyone and GAME ON! about 6 weeks left!

I just laughed really hard! thanks!

Y'all! I am super pumped! Knocking on wood so I don't jinx myself...Since Feb 9th, I have stayed below 160! I haven't been able to do that in at least a year! Now, to get off that 158 number and keep it moving down. I am slowly back into lifting weights/lunges today. But only once a week. Doing HIIT on bike and walking on…

@kalawhon my left knee is my worst. Right knee has issues, but getting worse due to overcompensation. Eventually, and I will postpone for as long as possible, I will need knee replacements. when I was 12 I cracked my knee growth plate, at 19 I tore my meniscus and destroyed my plica band (orthoscopic surgery), and at 36…

Question for you guys who are experts in MFP: after x amount of weight loss, do I go in and readjust any settings to alter my caloric intake or does MFP take care of that? thanks!

@jlkermode great idea! My gym offers yoga classes, but often in the middle of the day or around dinner time. Husband is full time grad student, so I am full time work and mommy. If I don't hit the gym by 6am, it's a no go for the rest of the day. I could do the videos at home while the boys are home. THANK YOU!
-
@jlkermode your meal looks so yummy! I am checking out those two sites for meal ideas. @jgrabowski33 your meal looks so yummy, also. do you have any sites you visit for recipes? @huango , Amanda, how do you make your zucchini noodles? Yesterday I took my son to a restaurant and order fried zucchini fries. He chowed down…

@Steph_135 thanks! Today the knee is killing me, but must not be lazy about the therapy if I want to be full force again! Amanda, @huango I drink over 1/2 my body weight daily. I drink 100+ daily. Should be doing 80oz. Not a nurse. I walk my kids to school (only a block away) than 4 more to subway and 2 from Grand…

I am sooo hungry today! This is becoming more and more of a pattern for me this week. I have been walking about 12-13K steps a day, but that shouldn't make me hungrier, should it?!

Amanda @huango I live in Chelsea and work in Manhattan on 2nd Ave. We just moved her in August from Alabama and will be here for 3 years. Thankfully, I am able to steer from doughnuts! Whew. My low for the past few weeks is this knee therapy. I can't do lunges, squats, run, etc. My inner thigh muscles are so weak that my…

@jlkermode and @huango : I don't understand this too well. sorry, I really just don't know the lingo and what it means. Would you all be willing to help explain! Anyway- I thought this would be helpful to some: body fat % calculator http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/ PROS from last week: I learned what…

Thanks you guys! Reading these articles now!

Please help! Good and bad problem! The past few days I have been logging, I eat all but like 100 calories suggested in a day. Then I enter my exercise and sync my FitBit only to gain somewhere between 400-600 more calories to consume. Today I have 605 more calories to consume (already input my dinner to check count). I…
-
Amanda, @huango how do you collect calories for one specific night? I didn't realize you could "roll over" calories. I thought it was a daily count. Will you please explain this to me?? Thank you! Wait, that would be dangerous for me. Never mind. I need to keep logging each meal and keep my daily count and not roll over…

For me it is tracking every ounce of food and drink I put in my mouth. I have never been big on that but on day 9 of doing it! It helped me loose 2# last week!
-
Amanda @huango you must be here in NYC area, as I am. My first winter here. WE moved from Alabama for my husband to attend graduate school. I am a bit nervous about this storm. But, I plan on playing lots in the snow with my kiddos (will that work as calories burned? LOL). I lost 2 pounds last week! This logging thing is…

If you choose wisely with your food, planning/prepping the day before, and input into MFP, you'll find you can still eat many times during your long work days. You can totally do this!
