Okay, okay! I'll try to check in once in awhile. I really need to do the calories to maintain and polish off/finish off my weight goals. So I appreciate your persistence to get me back. I joined facebook which has been taking a lot of time for me to learn. (I'm not breaking up with MFP). :heart: Thanks, Dew, Lorna and Love…

Dew, I agree with Love. This is a great place to post your thoughts. It does help everyone else. Btw, I weight myself eveyday, in the am before getting dressed. It's the least you'll weigh for the day and it's the driest you'll be. Then I can tell the difference between hourly/daily fluctuations vs an actual problem before…

Lost track of time. Was at my daughters house. It's something like: Me 7 / JS 2 Dew, you're probably right about the salt, cause 2 lbs is overeating beyond maintenance by 7,000 cals. (Highly unlikely) :laugh: Have a great weekend everyone! :flowerforyou:

Good for you asj! :flowerforyou: i work late too, actually all night. So consequently I often don't have a "normal" cut off time. I try to limit Junk Snacks and quit eating 2 hrs before my I go to sleep, whatever time that is. I'm happy about having a day that is not wayover on calories! Nice to get back to it. Me 4 vs…

Where did the last 2 days go? Maybe the Snacks ate em? I've been working but being good, thankfully. Me 5 vs JS 1 Zaza - You go girl! Rayflana - Good job against the snacks :flowerforyou: Lula -them and Turkey Hill, we're gonna get em, they won't get the best of us! :drinker: Love - That's what I'm saying too :laugh:…

Dew -I don't think it counts against you. You are always mindful about your choices. You were obviously sleep walking. :wink: Love - You will be alright. It's nice to get out a bit and have some fun. It's not like you have that stuff at home all the time and indulge everyday. I think it was LulaB maybe or someone else who…

Last night was good. Me 2/ Snacks0

Funny! Love it! I was good last night just because I knew I'd have to "report in" to you all. Me 1/ snacks0 Lula (you're probably sleeping now as we speak/post). I think you should count it. I do when I work all night with no nap before work. I try to limit the Junk though. Best to ya!! :wink:

Hi Guys - I'm back. I know I said that before, but I got new WiFi so hopefully I can keep up with you all. We'll see how it goes. Last night I set it up then today the computer didn't see the connection. So I had to set up a different connection today (not easy for us tech challenged people -lol). :wink: Can I just say I'm…

I want to be IN again, I miss you all and I feel like I'm missing out with new people joining. I still don't have internet service (rebelling against paying money just to communicate with people). So I'll probably just checkin sporatically. I went down 2 more lbs but then have gained back 5 so I need to bump it up a bit;…

I am sorta in? Was all psyched to go with it in Nov, got side-tracked and here it is the 8th. I'm going back to a bit more strictness with my diet since I gained two pounds. Best to you all for November!!!!! We need to lose a bit before Thanksgiving gets here. I do anyway. I usually do worse in the winter with the holidays…

The thread is going strong and you all are fightong hard. It's good to see!! :drinker: I haven't the faintest idea where I am against the snacks. Just have"t kept track. Maintenance is ok but could do a bit better. Life is real busy now. Thinking of getting an iphone or some such device. Then I could get on the internet…

I haven't been keeping track lately with my calories due to the computer issues and I think I gained a pound. The snackin has been worse at work -I need to get back to my old rule of eating my good food I take to work before I eat anything else. But clothes shopping is more fun at a size 10 instead of 14 & 16. I'm always…

Hi all! It sounds like everyone is moving right along :drinker: I'm 4 vs snacks 2 Keep up the good work! :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

I think it counts for you Dew! Sometimes I stay up later just because I ate later/had a snack later. But ya know you can't do that real often if you have to be somewhere in the morning. Luckily I work nights so I don't usually have to be somewhere in the morning. :flowerforyou: Me 3 vs The Little Sneaky Snacks 0

For October ....Me 1 / Snacks O Got a new book...."Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half" by Steve & Annette Economides. And I also read somewhere else that control of the diet and control of finances go hand in hand. Interesting, huh! Best to all in October :drinker:

I am in for October. Is it possible that it really is October? :wink: September was fair for me. I may not post everyday since my computer access is sketchie. But here's to October!!! :flowerforyou: Best of success to all of you! :happy:

A couple of times a day. And contrary to it being discouraging, I'm therefore not upset by the fluctuations. I know if I've had too much salt or not enough fiber or if it is evening that I will weigh more. I weigh the least in the morning near the end of the week because I do worse on the weekends and better during the…

Bump! Thanks for the post - will get back to it later.

I need to get back to better/more consistant exercising. thanks for the post! :flowerforyou:

I like the peppemint or other herb tea with a bit of agave (low glycemic) syrup. Then there's 1 square of dark chocolate (43 cals). And I try to not snack 2 hrs before bed. If that's not possible then I get a bit of protein with it < like maybe 3 crackers with some hummus.

You always have they most interesting posts, even when you're asking a question. Also consider when you tell MFP that you want to lose weight it sets you up with a deficit reflected in lower goal calories. If you told MFP that you wanted to maintain then it would give you maybe 500 more/day. Since you have lost 4 kg since…

I'm with you Megs. I'm never trusted those artifical sweetners. Not since the first one came out (saccharin maybe). My Motto is ...."If it's not food, don't eat it!"

I think I'm 5 vs the sneaky snacks 1. :wink:

I''m not lost, my wifi is just sick. so far it's .......Me 3 / Snacks 0 :smile: Keep with it everybody, it's worth it in the end! :drinker:

Lots of new people!! How wonderful. You're right Zaza, the more the merrier. The little snacks will be shakin in their shoes!

If you are exercising and picking up a need for 400 more calories you should by all means eat them. MFP sets you short (for me to lose, it"s 390 cals). If you have set it to lose weight and your deficit is also 390 cals plus you exercise 400 calories then your deficit is almost 800 calories. Your body may be thinking it's…

Sorry guys, my computer has been wacky. So I'll not be able to post as much till i figure something better out. i thinks the snacks got 3 days this week at least. Maybe next will be better. :drinker:

Cool Lee, let me know what you think. Now if I could just fix the eating at work thing. Like today, it's 2am and I've eaten 2/3 of my calories for the day. Really could have gotten by with half the amount of food. I think I'll just drink coffee and water the rest of the night then just go home and sleep, and not eat until…

Hi Lee, You sound a lot like me with the CRAzy work schedule. I work 7pm-7:30am. I tried setting a cut off time of 4am but that didn't work very well because if I did the slightest thing after work I';d be real hungry and blow it. Now I try to stop eating by about 7am. That's 2 hrs before bed. And a bit of protein is…
