✋ I'm Mary and live in North Carolina, 54 yrs. young, and separated after 19yrs. of marriage and he left me sort of...we're friends still... But absolutely no sexual relationship. We remained friends. Story too long... LMBO.
My daughters, I have 3 and they are grown.. I'm doing this program for me.
That too is long so I'm gonna stop before I scare you away... Lol
Haha you would scare us away! How old are your daughters? I'm curious (as I also have 3 girls) what are the teenage years like?
My oldest daughter will be 32 in September, 29, and 28.
Man! How time goes by.. Teen years went well until they turned 17.. Let's just say,"Fasten Your Seatbelt". I'll start praying for you now. I will say this, try not to hold on too tightly. They will be faced with a lot of things. And you'll find that your unconditional love will intensify, and you have to have every confidence in yourself that you've given them what they need through the years to survive on their on. It can have it's moments, and don't beat yourself up if you make any mistakes. Keep in mind, they are an extension of you and their father, therefore you'll instinctively know how to deal with them in any situation. It's a beautiful responsibility, raising children. They're funny, sneaky, trusting, and more often believe in you more than you would believe in yourself. Mine, are the best gift I've ever received. You'll be just fine.
Ok, now I'm feeling all emotional... Lol…. Being A Mom... Priceless💖1 -

JFT, Sat
1. log all food
2. go to the gym
3. concentrate on water
4. plan food ... eat lightly since going out to eat in the evening
NOTE: This was Saturday -- which I did great on. But. ... got in late saturday nite, and didn't post sunday goals. Had more incidents with my daughter, and gave in again. It got too late to post last nite, and I didn't post Monday goals. As a result ..... TWO really bad, emotional eating days again
But.... I will be back on track tomorrow .... yes I will!
SO JFT, TUesday
1. log ALL food
2. concentrate on water
3. go to the gym
4. no emotional eating .... eat only what I have planned
5. August challenge ... ONE snack, and then close the kitchen!!!
Starting weight Aug 1: 197.2.
Goal weight for Sept 1: 190 (I know this is agressive, but I gained 3 lbs the past 2 days, so I am really hoping those pounds will come off quickly, and the rest ... well... I'm going work my butt of to keep the challenges I set.
August Challenge: Plan just ONE evening snack, then close the kitchen
1: Evening snack was a hard boiled egg, kitchen closed at 9pm
2: Planned on a HB egg, but had 1/4c. raisin bran and some milk. It is now 9:15 pm - so a little later, but only because I wanted to color my hair first!
3: Was out late, and had a glass of wine at 10:00 -- hubby wanted popcorn, so I had a very small amount, but still ,that was at 10:30!!!
But ....... I still did not eat too much, just that the klondike bar was way more calories than I thought. Lesson ... look up calories FIRST!
4 .. no evening snack, and did great all day
5... Worrying about my daughter; emotional eating:)
6 ... emotional eating 3 -

You can join whenever you want .... just start posting goals, and then come back the next day!1 -
Hi all. Back from holidays and actually weirdly happy to be back to routine! Weighed in this morning and have actually dropped a couple of pounds while away. I guess all that lovely Mediterranean fruit and veg and seafood along with a lot of activity counteracted the ice-cream, frozen yoghurt and lying in the sun!
I’m pleased that I was able to do this without any food scales and just loose guesstimate tracking. But I kind of wish I’d let myself have more ice-cream/desserts in retrospect!
Anyway, back to the programme...
Tuesday goals
- morning workout (today was going to be a rest day but I’m up early so will give it a go..)
- Pick up kitten from cat-sitter
- Walk with kids to grab lunch and pick up some groceries
- Laundry
- April to August challenges - water, go for walk outside, avoid emotional or post holiday tiredness binging, last snack (protein shake) by 9:30
- Early night
Have a great day all! X4 -
I thought I posted this late at night, but I kept a copy of it. 8/6
Out of bed by 7:30 am - Nope, I was an hour late
Complete task list--I did not complete everything but did some difficult work I didn't want to do.
Only play phone /computer games if finish tasks--not quite, but I didn't go as overboard as I have in the past.
No more than four 15 min checks on social media--a little over, but I did it in between work.
At least 15 min workout or walk--YES!
Only eat it hungry - YES!
I had my toddler home with me because he was sick. He'll be home with me again tomorrow.
Jft 8/7
1. Out of bed by 8:30 (trying to be more realistic this time)
2.Continue task list. Get to items I couldn't do and continue the longterm work.
3. Don't over do time on social media
4. Don't over do it with addictive games
5. Only eat if hungry

So last night I set my alarm for 6 am. It went off as planned. I got up and changed it to 7. I then realized that if I didnt feed Panda he would spend the next hour bugging me for food. I fed him, and the coffee pot is right in the same location as his food bowl so I made the decision to make a cup of coffee and not go back to bed! This is a huge win for me! Today could have easily turned into a multiple snooze kind of day. I just sat on the couch and snoozed for a few minutes. I think I am going to need to set an alarm just in case! Lol.
Okay, so onto goals!

I actually did pretty badly last night, I had a late night snack, well, more like a late night meal!
Over the day I ate nearly 2000 calories in total but burned off around 600 I think?
I'm 181 over anyway.
I'm doing well today so far though! Got 1000 calories left and only dinner to have.
Also quick question,
So you ever know when you've burnt the calories off?
For example this morning I was hungry so I had breakfast, let's say this was 100cals. I then painted for an hour and this burned 200 cals. So basically burnt off what I ate and more and afterwards I felt starving! Earlier than I would if I had sat and done nothing
Just wondered if anyone else had the same x1 -
Last night was my third night in a row of work and I work tonight! To say the least, I'm pretty tired. Each shift has been busy and exhausting, too. But I'm surviving! I really love my job (Pediatric Oncology Nurse)! All of this is to say that I forgot to post yesterday!! Overall I have accomplished my goals for the last two days (which were that same as the ones for today).
I hope everyone is doing well!
Goals for today:
Sleep!!
Drink two 24 oz bottles of water at work
No extra snacking at work
Eat breakfast at home after work
Stay within my 1409 calorie goal2 -

Recap M 8/6 ~ still v humid & 70 at 5:30 a.m. so decided to sleep in & take rest day
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 10,769 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 61 floors
2) Usual breakfast, lunch & snacks prelogged / supper will be with friends at local zoo's Feast with the Beasts ~ area restaurants provide food & beverage samples throughout the zoo + absolutely no idea how/if I will be able to log ~ enjoy event (including one friend's bday) + not stress over calories = Way over-indulged in evening... unexpected thundershower started 5 min. into event, which kept lines short and easy to get many samples. Deluge at one point & shared umbrellas = wet clothes. My sandals got so soaked that my feet squished when I walked, and I had to peel off my shorts and shirt once home (completely wet down the back, front semi-dry). We totally had a blast! Many samples of food, including duck bruschetta and a delectable chocolate & whipped cream thing, and lots of tastes of various adult beverages. No way was I going to attempt to log all that!
Moving on....
3) At least 12c water = Nope ~ only 8c
4) Stay on track at work / do not dwell on crap at my job or hubby's = Not great, not bad
5) Unplug 9:30 (home?) / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 (walk dog before work T ~ weather s/b improved)
JFT T 8/7
1) Walked dog before work / 3.18 mi 55:48 / stretched = happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
3) Prelog meals & snacks / net calories green
4) Evening: feed Kitty & dog then leave IMMEDIATELY for spa appt.
5) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 (walk dog before work W)
Evening Snack Challenge ~ I will not snack past 9 p.m.
1. Peanut M&Ms (wanted something sweet) when got home at 9 p.m. + logged
2. 1 chocolate power muffin before 8:30
3. 1/4c chicken salad after 9:00 (emotional eating)
4. Peanut M&Ms 9:00

Sneaking back in-this was the most helpful posting area from my 'before.' I am now 'actively uncontrolled diabetic.' Sigh. I will not be eating out for Thanksgiving this year-that's when everything went south last year. TODAY-I will stick the plan and add more vegs when I can. I will go to water aerobics. I did weed eat for about 20 minutes but too hot and smuggy now that the day hasn't rained. Seems like it rained daily for three weeks and I am sure I saw a thunderstorm in the forecast! And I saw a sister above had chicken salad-I have tuna and now am inspired to make tuna salad tomorrow--Thanks! Looking up doctor's strict diabetic diet. Right now I have dueling doctors so I will just do what I can this day.
Wednesday-while I am here.
A. Drink 8+ cups mostly water based stuff-the more ice cubes the more I can drink. Will tell son to make ice cubes as my icemaker won't.
B. Stick the calories and avoid all salt and sugar and carbs except eat any vegetable I see. Write down a plan. I love plans.
C. Make tuna salad. I need lite miracle whip or may have seen an oil and vinegar recipe. AND one rib of celery. Celery just isn't a high use item here.
D. Spend 1 hour in yard-argh, maybe it will rain.
E. Volunteer 2 hours at church...so i need to
F. Go to 8 am Y water class and then have son do 9 swim lesson and stay for 10 Y class.
G. 1 load dishes, 1 load laundry1 -

Welcome back .... we missed you! As you can see, many of us are still here. I though have been struggling, but at least I have not gained back what I lost last year. But like you, for me things went south around Halloween time .... and thats when I stopped losing, and having the hardest time to get that motivation back. I still have 10-15 pounds to lose to be in the "healthy" range, but I am thankful for this thread, in that I have not regained much of what I lost last year!
But we are happy to see you back!0 -
Reminding myself of my goals today, and to NOT let 2 emotional eating days turn into 3.
And boy, do I feel crappy! WHY doesn't our brain remind us of how awful we are going to feel 2-3 days after eating way too much junk stuff. Our bodies feel so much better when we eat healthy.... so all my emotional eating did absolutely NO good at all ... just made me feel sluggish. And gee.... still didn't solve any problems
SO JFT, TUesday
1. log ALL food
2. concentrate on water
3. go to the gym
4. no emotional eating .... eat only what I have planned
5. August challenge ... ONE snack, and then close the kitchen!!!2 -

Come on Joan you CAN do this! You can!! Tell your emotions to *kitten* off, even if you have to shout it out loud and your husband looks bewildered just do it!
Just do it for tonight! Do it because you want to prove yourself wrong, do it to have control, do it to prove you are not weaker than your emotions even though they kick you when you're down, do it to prove to yourself you're not giving up! Do it because you want to be 1lb down not 1lb up!
Do it... Because you CAN.3 -
Today has been a weird day. Busy then slow then busy again! Now I'm twiddling my thumbs again waiting desperately for 5pm! 😴 I've had four cups of coffee and I think I'm about to make a fifth.
We have a IT guy here in my branch who is about to take it system down for a few minutes so I will be even more bored. I'm just hoping that no customers come in... That would be really annoying. Lol.
I've got 2 more doses of my antibiotics left and then I'll be done with that. That will make me happy. I'm having a hard time remembering to take them because I have to take them at a different time then my other ones. 😫
The DH is off from work today and I think he fell asleep on the couch. 😑 I wish he was awake to talk to.
I'm having fun with smiley faces as you can see! Lol2
