When I was 220lbs, (not that long ago) awesome shoes were a bit of a pipe dream. Not anymore, (though 6" killer heels are still out,
)
WOW! i've been around this thread for a while, and i had NO idea you had successfully lost that much weight. KUDOS to you! You and Bri are the "biggest losers!"
(in case you don't know: "the biggest loser" is a reality tv show here in the US.)
Even after losing 90+ pounds, I still only weigh slightly less than that. I have, wear and DANCE in awesome shoes all the time. 0 -

My husband out of town and I raided the candy jar. The candy wasn't on my plan when I logged first thing in the a.m. but I did end up tracking it. Drank all my water and used the stairs.

Just for Today Jan 14/16
1. 75 oz water
2. Track everything
3. Wear my Fitbit
4. Do not let the success on the scale dictate choices today. There is no room for self-sabatoge. Keep my eye on the goal. 10% = 250.2 lbs. Put in the work now so I can enjoy my first achievement reward.
5. Decide on 1st reward today.
6. Weigh in on Friday.
Just for Today Jan 15/16
1. 75 oz water
2. Track everything
4. Do not let my first 10% goal reached AND the fact that it's Friday AND I'm sick... Dictate my choices today. Think before eating. Remember my goals. This is only 10% achieved - still 90% to go!!
5. If I am going to indulge, plan for it and balance it throughout the day with awesome choices!
6. Remember: Being sick is not an excuse to binge. It means I need to take BETTER care of myself than usual.

Hey Joan...Just a suggestion...
Is there a protein rich snack that would work for you in the evening instead of popcorn?
Popcorn does the same thing to me that you are dealing with, it makes me HUNGRY, so I try not to have it at night.
How about a protein bar, a smoothie with a scoop of protein powder, an apple and nut butter, nuts or yogurt?
Popcorn is so hard to resist 'cause it smells so damn good, but if you had a ready supply of protein snacks to fight with, maybe you can beat it!
Love ya!
Thanks @bri170lb . I try to eat protein at meals - just never thought of eating protein in the evening. Thanks for the suggestion!

thursday, 1/14
1. no sugar, low carbs
2. drink water throughout the day.
3. after dinner, keep my glass of water with me, and drink it
4. Beautiful day out today - go for a long walk
5. try and get my daughter to go to the store with me. She is isolating herself more, and need to really concentrate on trying to get her out more.
6. Write in gratitude journal
I SO went over my calories yesterday, but I still did OK. It was a beautiful day out, so I spent the entire day cleaning the garage, taking things to Goodwill, etc. Then I went out for my walk. Got home, and hubby suggested we go out to eat since I will be gone all next week. We ended up going to a mexican restaurant -- it was so good! But, I had a margarita (have not had one of those in ages!), and a chicken buritto, refried beans, rice. I should have put 1/2 of my meal in a to-go box right away, as I ended up eating the entire meal. And, was totally stuffed when we got home. But I logged in my calories as over 2000 just for that meal, so I was way over calories. But -- it was worth it. We had a good time. I have to learn that this is life. It is OK to go over, but today, I plan to get right back on track. I will not weigh myself, because I know my weight will be way up.
JFT, Friday 1/15
1. eat lightly today, but make sure to get protein in for each meal
2. drink water
3. make out grocery list for hubby and daughter while I am out of town
4. go out for a long walk
5. gratitude journal

You are doing so great - and one day of slip up will not hurt you. And - you logged it. So great job.0 -

Have a great time! That sounds wonderful. You will burn tons of calories snow burning so hopefully extra food and alcohol will balance out0 -

This must be pretty common because I am my own worst enemy when it comes to self-talk!!! Good reminder to be kinder to myself today. I think it's good we know we do this...it's a start anyway!0 -
