@gemwolf110 - we all have those days. I slipped up yesterday with bread and butter pudding - it destroyed my numbers for the day but it was so good! Not long to go now until your break - sounds like you've got a nice week planned. @dulsysaylor, @sherilynca and @kristinak48 - welcome! @tazzy2911 - that Pitta Pizza looks…

@kaavery120188 - pre-logging certainly seems to help me keep on track. I think by logging all my planned meals and standard everyday stuff, it lets me see what I've got left to be flexible with. I'm having a battle at the moment though with evening snacking - I don't think I'm hungry particularly - just very susceptible to…

@kaavery120188 - well done on the loss. Hmmm....pizza, not had for too long, you may have just given me inspiration for this weekend!! Rachel - glad date night went so well and hope you enjoyed the day with Chance yesterday. Apparently yesterday was 'blue Monday' when everyone is miserable and books their summer holidays -…

@brown_eyes74 - welcome! @gemwolf110 - great new fridge and yay for wedding bands - how exciting! Dress shopping is so much fun - definitely I would start sooner rather than later. @melaniedscott - sounds like you are being looked after really well by your husband. Good for you on getting back into the office - I love my…

Cari - we have the snow too, not much just enough to cover the grass a bit and make it all slippery after a very cold night! We've got a cross trainer in the house - excellent for getting an inside workout in given that I hate gyms with a passion! Shy - sounds like you are still doing a good job with all the activity and…
-
@Renee4496 - welcome! I sympathise with your time challenge and don't think it is an excuse, though heaven knows it can feel like one. I too work full time with a long commute and have a 2 yr old son. I've spent the last two years putting him first in everything and it is still hard to find the time to exercise. My…

@KatyFlatlander - welcome and hang in there. Today is a new day to get back on track! @mmcjtink - welcome! 7 kids - wow, I have a lot of admiration for you. I have a 2 year old and he alone keeps me busy enough!! @gemwolf110 - good to see you back. It is sad how fast we get out of shape - I've noticed how much harder my…
-
Joy - sorry you got sick, that's a lousy way to start the new year! But good for you for setting the goals that you have - hope D day went well :) @tazzy2911 - well done, that's a great loss! @0505jen - welcome back! Rachel - glad games night went so well. How did Derby photos go? I hate having my photo taken - I get so…
-
@brown_eyes74 - welcome! Cari - sounds like you've got the right idea to ease back into it gently. I remember you saying you were made redundant - really pleased that you got something else quickly. Good luck with the running again - nothing like being signed up for something for getting you going again! Shy - well done…
-
there is a thread on the forums dedicated to gaining weight - think that would be your best place to start. Good luck!
-
June - well done on the loss. I'm with you on the measurements - I'm planning to take mine in the morning and make Saturday both my weigh in and measurements day, that way I'm not reliant simply on the number on the scale. @gemwolf110 - also, well done on the loss, almost back to pre-holiday weight is great. Hope the Zumba…
-
Jen - glad we were able to help with the motivation for you! Well done with not stress eating and as for the snacking at home, I sympathise as I really struggle with this particularly in the evenings. @bizgirl26 and @kaavery120188 - welcome to the thread! Joy - I too have a good feeling about this year and I'm charged to…

Me! 40 years old married with a 2 year old boy. Not got a huge amount to lose but those last pounds are just too stubborn. Back this year with renewed enthusiasm and determination to do this for me. I'll send you friend requests :)
-
I'm Jane from the UK - married with a two year old son. I've been on MFP for years and successfully lost the 20lbs that I wanted to originally. Then pregnancy! I'm back down to being about 12lbs off my target but my discipline has slipped - with limited time due to a full time job and other life getting in the way. This…

Spreadsheet says view only but gives the option to request access - so I've sent a request to the owner - let me know if you get it!
-
@melaniedscott - So sorry to hear about you breaking your foot, that is such a downer for the holiday season and the New Year. Hopefully you can find some appropriate workouts and be back on both feet as soon as possible. I love your calendar idea - we have a small group of cuddly toys (bears and the like) that travelled…
-
Excel spreadsheet with the meals for the week and formatted to spit out a shopping list for us as well - makes the whole experience so much easier and leaves us less open to impulse buys from shopping when hungry!
-
Rachel - well done on the volunteering. Did you conclude that it was your exercise for the day - I think I might have done in your position! Hope your first day back at work goes ok. @tazzy2911 - welcome back! Let's do this for 2017 :) @Dalceridae - well done for losing the christmas weight so quickly. I think lunchtime…
-
Joy - what are fuzzy peaches? They sound good!! @Dalceridae - glad your border collie is back to herself. They cause us such worry when they get ill but playing with her toyds again is a great sign! @gemwolf110 - gorgeous dog :) Shy - so sorry to hear about your father in law, sending positive thoughts your way. So, we…
-
@Evamutt - glad your dog is doing better. Sounds like some great work that you do at the rescue centre - such a great cause. Jen - you are not alone, I have no willpower to say no to any food at the moment - too many christmas snacks lying around and it's not even close to Christmas Day yet. I'm doomed!! Hope your…
-
Hey guys - I'm still here, I promise! Trying to decide on my approach for the rest of the year - try to continue (or restart!) logging and be disciplined through two birthdays and Christmas - or just take a break from thinking about it until the New Year and enjoy myself knowing that I won't go completely overboard.…
-
hi all - well not sure where this week is going. I'm losing control of my time in the run-up to Christmas! And it's our work party tonight so calorie counting is not on the agenda! Just checking in - working from home tomorrow and will catch up with you all properly then.
-
Shy - what a great sounding thanksgiving period - made me laugh reading how your weekend went! Great job on maintaining though girl - what a result. When it comes to christmas, I'm a big fan now although I never used to be - having Alistair has added a whole new dimension to it for us! @melaniedscott - glad you are feeling…
-
Thank heavens it's friday is all I can say right now - it's been a long week and I'm so ready for my christmas break. Hope you all had/are having good thanksgiving weekends :)
-
Shy - sounds like you are really making it work :). have fun at Thanksgiving and enjoy the pie!! Nicole - yay for happy hump day, sadly I still have two more to go after today - boohiss! Hope you are doing ok at this tough time - first holidays after the loss of someone special are so hard. Make sure you look after…
-
Rachel - hope your round of Thanksgiving celebrations go well - good luck with the chocolate chip cookies :) Pizza and board games sounds like fun - hope you have a great time! Jen - welcome back! such a shame - chilli cheese fries sound like they should be so good - like Rachel says it's so disapointing when your spluge…
-
Nicole - welcome back! Sorry to hear you've had such a rough time - hope that is it for you now and well done for not letting the gym kill you!! Shy - sounds like a lovely weekend and I'm sure all the hiking will have helped offset the soda and beer a bit :) @wishfuljune - good to see you back - life does get in the way…
-
Joy - way to go on the effort at the gym this morning. I always talk cheerfully about exercising early like that but I'm awful at following through with it! Hope you enjoy Remembrance Day - and get out there with that dog of yours! Good luck with the healthy eating and logging. Rachel - well done, that's a great NSV. Hope…
-
Doing ok - just busy, busy! Guessing same for everyone given how quiet it is on here. @soli0002003 - welcome to the thread! Rachael - congratulation, knew you could do it. Now to push for the team slot! Had a great night out with girlfriends on Friday - spaghetti Bolognese, panna cotta with fresh fruit and 2 glasses of red…
-
Blimey, I disappear for a few days and completely lose track of everything that is happening on here! I feel like we've been hit by a bus this week - literally no time to stop and think. Trying to keep a hold on work and the house and such like whilst Alistair fights off a cold and has his temperature go up and down like a…
