Good luck. It will take a lot if determination and possibly keto. That is the only way I have really dropped fat that fast. ....and put it all back on 6 months later :'(

Hi Pat I just thought I’d search on MFP for the diet. I’m on it on round 2 day 5. I don’t buy the Prolon, mine is a DIY. I know it’s a while since you posted but did you keep it up? Regards Jacqui2494

@Snowflake1968 I enjoyed reading your post about the wedding. Lovely time with family and friends. Jumping castle is a great idea to keep kids entertained. The weight will fall off when your routine returns. Don’t worry ;)

@clicketykeys I like your post about logging snacks BEFORE eating them. I cursed myself last week for eating something that took me way over. I should have checked it first. Sound advice. :)

Good Morning JFT’ers. Again another week goes by before I post. We moved offices and I have a several days of 12,13,17,000 steps and dozens of flights of stairs on my Fitbit. The new office has the coffee and kitchen downstairs. Before I could quietly sneak into the kitchen and no one would ever know. Now I find I just…

@ABJ1014 Congratulations. Your goals will change now. Healthy, happy baby ;) @TerriRichardson112 I know how you feel. I'm supposed to be losing but just seem to sit on the same weight. Well, better than gaining so we have to count small blessings.

I find it hard to get the time to even think about posting. Work and life just get in the way. Husband always nags me about being obsessed with my phone so I try to post stuff when I'm alone. As far as I'm concerned it's my time to myself. 1. Log everything. :) 2. Stay in green :s 3. No snacking but for 2 pieces of fruit…

I'd say, only do what is sustainable. If you can't eat that way for the rest of your life, then don't do it. All your effort will be for nothing and the weight will come back. I listen to "Half Size Me" on Podcast and I find it full of very sound advice.

Doesn’t matter. @Luciicul We are here now. Aussies seem to be rather slack on this site. I seem to have more USA friends. I lost 9kgs and put back 4. Trying very hard to get 20kgs off. I think MFP is the best weight loss app.

Mindful moderation. I like that. How many times do we eating something and it’s gone in a second and you’re like “Where it is? Surely I haven’t finished” I have become mindful around snacking and it’s working. I feel my waistline coming down. 1. Log everything 2. Stay in green 3. No snacking but for 2 pieces of fruit 4. Go…

JFT Saturday 1. Log everything ✅ 2. 3 meals 2 fruit a day. No other snacking✅ 3. Be sensible when out to dinner tonight.✅ 4. Get in some exercise ✅ JFT Sunday 1. Log everything 2. 3 meals 2 fruit. No snacking 3. Remind myself every time I want to reach for snacks why I am doing this. I’ve let 6 months pass with no result.…

Good morning JFT’s. I’m sitting in Maccas. You may well say “Not a good start to the weekend “ but a bacon and egg McMuffin and a long black are a good choice. I went on to Reddit today, which I rarely do. A woman posted what I thought was powerful advice. At least for me. She said to hold yourself accountable often during…

Hi Everyone Thank you for your comments about my friend. He has been transferred into the Coronary Care Unit. We visited him and his memory is all over the place. He knew us but was very confused and really couldn't remember anything. I'm sure that will improve in the coming weeks. I'm in Australia and it's winter here.…

I went cycling with my friends on Sunday. We went up a long steep hill. At the end of it we are just waiting for the others to catch up. Our friend just collapsed and stopped breathing. It was so scary. A stranger applied CPR whilst I got the ambulance. We were just 500 mtrs from hospital and the ambulance came within…

I just wrote a big story and didn’t save it :'( a real big story. Now I have to go to work. I’ll try to tell it later

I’m away from home again helping with newborn. I haven’t been posting or keeping on track. I’m going home today and the cycle starts again. How come it’s so hard to have self control when out of your environment? 1. Log everything 2. Stay in green 3. Get some exercise 4. Healthy lunch Here’s to a good week. B)

@nlmackey98 I found your post really interesting. I haven’t had to deal with your issues and we don’t always know what people go through. Don’t you think it’s interesting that it is easy to tell your innermost thoughts on sites like this but we don’t tell our nearest and dearest. I certainly don’t share my weight issues…

Good morning all Confession time: went to the gym as planned last night-great. When I came home I had a healthy dinner and then decided that I had enough calories left to have 12 Peanut M&M’s. Well we all know that is just impossible. I ploughed through half a packet before I made myself sick. I wish I could have vomited…

@ZizzyBumble @Snowflake1968 My daughter had a girl. Both doing well. They are a two hour flight away and I am going back for a few days on Thursday. It is my first "birth" grandchild having 3 grandkids from my step kids. I never call them my step kids as I have been Mum for 35 years. I went for a two hour bike ride. What…

I have been sticking to 500 calories under, staying in green, not walking as much. 1. Log everything 2. Get in a decent amount of exercise like 30 minutes. 3. Eat more veggies 4. Weigh myself every day to keep accountable 5. Stay in green On that score, I rejoined the gym yesterday. I got bored with it and I’m really only…

@nlmackey98 I really like reading your posts. I think it admirable to get up so early to go to the gym. I find late afternoon works best for me. Then I can go home and relax instead of trying to stay awake at work. All the best :)

My daughter just gave birth. I’ve been up at the hospital every day since Saturday. Hard to stay focused and get the correct food. 1. Log everything ✅ 2. Walk, walk, walk ✅ 17,000, 18,000, 12,000 steps every day whilst waiting for the delivery 3. Stay in green ❌ Wednesday 1. Get back into normal routine 2. Log everything…

How hard is it to stay on track when you aren’t in your own home? Usually a day at home with a walk I would do well over 10,000 steps with housework and exercise. I hardly get in 7,000 here. 1. Get in over 10,000 steps 2. Only eat when genuinely hungry 3. Do some housework to keep busy

Yesterday’s goals 1. Log everything ✅ 2. Stay in green❌ not enough exercise 3. Walk, walk, walk❌sitting in a plane instead 4. Shop for healthy foods✅ Wednesday 1. Log foods 2. Stay in green 3. Walk, walk I’m staying with my daughter. Already went for a twenty minute walk. My problem will be boredom until this baby comes.

Back on the horse: Goals for Sunday 1. Log everything ✅ 2. Stay in green zone ✅ 3. Play safe with lunch at a family gathering ❌ 4. Walk for 45 minutes in the afternoon ❌ 5. Plan Monday’s meals ✅ So my rellies decided to make my favourite caramel choc slice. Wow it’s like a drug. I think I ate about 12 pieces. I pulled back…

Why, why, why do we engage in self sabotage? I have spent this week on this group and even managed to lose 1/2 kg. I then proceeded to eat everything in site. I am shocked that once starting I don’t stop. Back on the horse: Goals for Sunday 1. Log everything 2. Stay in green zone 3. Play safe with lunch at a family…

@Snowflake1968 I’m in Brisbane. Australia’s best kept secret. :) We have delightful weather particularly in the winter. Warm sunny days and cold nights. We have over 2000 kms of dedicated cycle ways and walking paths particularly along the river. No excuses here for not exercising. I find the hardest part of exercise of…

Being in Australia, I will be the first poster of the day. ✅stayed in green ✅planned meals ✅did exercise Today 1. Pick up garden leaves (great workout) 2. Planned meals 3. No food after dinner 4. Stay in green 5. Be positive Have a great day 😊

@PackerFanInGB Thanks for the welcome. I think the daily accountability is a great idea. I lost 9kgs (20lbs) 3 years ago using MFP. Usual story, put most back on :s Support and encouragement is essential to be successful. So, here we go again. :#

Logged accurately yesterday but did eat after dinner. I was so hungry I couldn’t sleep. It happens sometimes and I have a sugar free hot chocolate, Didn’t plan meals until now. Today. Log everything Walk dogs for 45 min + Plan meals Be in the green zone on MFP and Fitbit o:)
