This week has been busy which has made it a challenge to prep and prepare healthy meals at home for myself. I have been consistent with drinking more water though. I understand what stormywxs288 is saying about becoming obsessed with the scale. I weigh myself everyday. 1st thing in the morning and usually when I get home…

This week has been up and down. I have managed to lose though. Since the 1st of the year I have lost 3.5 lbs so I am on track! BUT my mood has gone up and down about it being such a slow process. BUT I am on track. Short term goal: Get under 170 by February 5, 2020. Starting weight: 176 Goal weight: 135 Current weight:…

I'm in! I joined MFP at the end of 2015. In a little over a year I lost almost 40 pounds. Then I started a new job, went back to school and most importantly stopped logging my food and stopped moving. I am determined to get some of this extra weight off of myself in a healthy way again. I am now almost 50 years lod and I…

Congratulations!! Great work sweeteebri!!!!!!! :) :) :smile:

I thought I was the only one who ate them like that! They're yummy aren't they?!

Jennjenn5555 Yes You've done a great job with this challenge. Thank you! I can't think of any way to improve it.

Weight has been fluctuating but was still at 156 yesterday.

Hi. Just checking in. I started the week(my weigh in is fri) out strong then got sick. Ugh. Cold & ear infection. My weigh in was the same as my starting weight but considering it had gone up 4lbs in a week (water weight etc) I'm ok with it for now. Was hoping for a good loss last week but life happens..... Baby steps.…

You're welcome memery7. I like seeing how many cals I burned just in case I'm feeling hungry on a day I worked out really hard. That way I know it's ok to eat a little more to help myself recover. I don't eat all the calories back though. Seems that would defeat the purpose.

On the mobile app go under "more" (on iPhone its in the bottom right of the screen next to progress) then go to "goals" then scroll to the bottom and under fitness goals go into "exercise calories". You can turn off the exercise calories there. Hope this helps. I haven't had my coffee yet so my brains a little fuzzy.…

Thanks GrandmaJackie! My cycle has always been crazy too and now I'm starting perimenopause so its even crazier! I just got back from a 45 min hike. Its snowing here in Michigan and the wind is fierce! Now I MUST go grocery shopping. Lol.

Thank you SweeteeBri & GrandmaJackie. I usually use the mobil app. I don't use the computer at home much but it is easier to navigate the message board on the desktop. Today i MUST go grocery shopping. Plan, prep & cook most of my meals for the week. I don't know if I'm the only one on the team who GAINED weight during the…

I don't understand how to put a "quote" into my post so that person knows I'm commenting on what they said. Great job everyone on your accomplishments last week!

Fitness Challenge: Lol. The first time I did a burpee, I did fall on my face...Lol. Haven't tried it since until today. Epic Fail!!! Nope. Didn't happen. At least I tried it though. I'm gonna have to find a modified version...Lol. [/quote I am terrible at burpees & mountain climbers. I am not tech savvy enough to post a…

Nutrition challenge week 2: 4-8, green: green beans 4-9, red: Small Apple 1/2 red pepper (one of my favs) Great challenge SweeteeBri ! Thanks!

This is a great idea for a nutrition challenge!! Glad I've already planned on having asparagus w/dinner. Lol!

I'm sorry to say I did not have a great week. I actually gained .5 lbs :( I know this has to do with my cycle starting but it is still FRUSTRATING!! I did well on the nutrition challenge of not eating past a certain time but I went over my daily calorie goal a few times. I did just ok on the fitness challenge. I went to…

Great job sweeteebri!!!!! Emilym8705: exercise always helps my mood but sometimes it's hard to just get up & do it. Mlays005: looks beautiful! Yesterday I went back to the gym for the 1st time in 8 days.... 37 minutes on the elliptical.

Just finished day one of the challenge. I cannot do a sit-up without my feet coming off the floor. I hope by May I am able to.

Good morning! I will do both challenges this week. Nutrition: I will not eat after 8pm Tues, Wed, Fri & Sun. I will not eat after 9pm Mon, Thur, Sat. Fitness: I will do at least 30 mins of exercise 5 days this week. Today is my day off. I have a doctors apt & also a test for some health issues I've been having. I will make…

Hi! ! I just saw I've been added to this team! I'm so excited! And honestly a little nervous. This is my 1st challenge. I started MFP in 11-2015 My weigh in day is usually Friday. I'm 5'2" . My starting weight was 169. My current weight is 156. My goal weight is 134. My "dream" weight is 115. I'm a bit frustrated right…

You're doing great faithester!! You should be very proud of your accomplishments! It has taken me 4 months to lose 13 lbs & I have a long way to go. My weight loss has seemed to have stalled so I'm looking for some new support systems. Id love to start posting my weigh ins here & hopefully the scale will start moving…
