Re: LESS Alcohol ~ August 2025 ~ One Day at A Time
@LittleSurferGirl7, boy, it's hard to resist those salty, fatty, and sweet snacks if they're in the house. Some how a carrot just doesn't have the same appeal.π
@Alatariel75, I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you find support and companionship on this thread. Sending you warm hugs and prayers.
@itladyee, I really like the planned/actual addition to the spreadsheet. It offers me more incentive to stick with good intentions.

Re: Soooo hard!
I met with an endocrinologist for 90 minutes to humor my wife to see if he would recommend his prescribing ZepBound for me. I was 30 pounds over my doctor preferred weight for my age and health when I met with him. After he asked about my lifestyle and learned that 3 years ago I was in the same positions weight wise when I set a 1/2 pound a week loss on MFP, and started the one day at a time journey. And I lost 30 pounds over two years. My reason for gaining it back was that when I am not on a routine, I don't eat healthy and won't work out here and there, it's who I am. I had 2 grandbabies born and a major surgery, basically life through me curveballs, and I made it though gaining bag 20 of the 30 I had lost. Endocrinologist told me he recommended his NOT prescribing ZepBound if I truly was set to be back on my MFP & Daily Workout Routine, but said he wanted to see 24 pounds lost in 24 weeks, coinciding with my next bloodwork and follow up with my cardiologist. I also weigh daily which many say can be depressing, I think it would be more depressing to weigh once a week and risk one weigh in being perfect with the stars aligned and a new low recorded, only to have the next weigh in be THAT day when I retained a pound or two of water from working out, or the normal ebbs and flows, and wonder WTF went wrong? So, personal choice. I was open to ZepBound and simply answered Endocrinologists questions then told him about my plan when I can stick to it. It's week 3 and I am way ahead of the 1# goal per week, and am so glad it is not ZepBound aided, and like an earlier responder said, MFP works if you accurately log your food (Calories In) accurately log your calories burned (Calories Out) and over time it is for most people just math. The key is honesty in logging. Good Luck on your journey whichever direction you take. Oh, Endocrinologist said most people coming to him DO need the prescription, and many have no primary care doctor, less have a cardiologist, few will track themselves on an app like MFP and fewer will weigh daily, and most who are prescribed ZepBound will still overeat, or if they lose the weight it was in most cases relying on the ZepBound alone, and they gain it all back, so THAT is where he makes his money, being a cheerleader and coach and therapist for most people who come to him like I did. I was not surprised to hear that. It's statistically accurate and applies to most peoples human nature especially in The U.S.A.
Re: Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 304
SW Rnd 303 297.6 EW 296.5 (-1.1)
SW Rnd 304 296.5
7/30 - 296.1 nice to start with a drop, it's just a nice pick-me-up! But, us daily weighers know we had best not set whether a day is good or not by if there's a drop, or we'll drive ourselves crazy!
7/31 - 295.6 had a bit of a tough day and came home to a nice home cooked meal by my husband. It did include cookies at the end so I over-indulged on that meal but I'd left a lot of calories for the evening. Today is another day to keep working on things.
8/1 - 298
8/2 - 297.5 Had to go searching for how to stop the double spacing but figured it out! Like many the past few days, my huge fluctuation yesterday cannot represent actual gain. Good to see it starting to come down today already. My TOM is just around the bend and I will hold onto extra weight during that time for sure, like clockwork.
8/3 - 296.8 Husband and I had a super fun day yesterday doing an online scavenger hunt around our city. Weather was hot hot hot. We got a ton of steps. Going out on the boat today.
