    Daily Report Sun 7 Oct

    Tracking: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: Yes. Walk with fat dog, 30 mins, Weight and Strength Training 60 mins

    Went ahead and got my strength work done today since I have a Doctor's appt tomorrow morning and will miss my workout.

    Have gotten to the point where I love my protein shakes better than eating food. I usually have a breakfast/postworkout shake at 11am with 50g protein and 500 calories. Then a 3pm lunch shake with 50g protein and 400 cals. Low in carbs and sugar.

    Oooh ... you are not alone! I get most of my greens in through my shakes aNd I really like them too!

    I made banana bread today and used swerve instead of sugar. It was very good.

    Seem to be stuck around 191-2ish! This happens when I get near the next decade, but I hope I can break through to the 180’s this week even 189.8!

    Congrats to everyone for a great first week! Here’s to another!

    You can do it Chris, you are so close!

    Congratulations everyone! Here is to all of us!

    Today is Sunday week 2
    Ok I did nothing to be healthy! But mentally I am awesome. I live in Casper Wyoming. My birthday was Friday. And I worked late. Got home and there was a strange car parked the wrong way in front of my home. I was a bit suspicious since my husband after like it was no big deal when he came out to greet me. My brother had drove down from Spokane WA to surprise me. So today before he left we had cake, a 3D movie and chocolate.

    I promise to be better tomorrow.

    Shelley

    Happy belated birthday! 🎉🎈🎁

    Tracked: yes
    Calories: under
    Exercise: Yes

    Did a Leslie Sansone 3 mile exercise from YouTube after our hiking plans went bust. Still got my steps in, burned about 380 calories in just over 40 mins.

    Great exercise/hiking alternative!

    Weekly Weigh-in October week 2
    Username: momma3times
    Previous Weight: 245.6
    Current Weight: 245.4

    Stayed within calories this week. But struggled with type of foods and broke my IF schedule. Goes to show that with PCOS and insulin resistance, a calorie is not just a calorie. Hopefully I can get a better drop next week.

    @momma3times One of the things I've learned throughout my weight loss journey is a calorie is not just a calorie. While calories do matter overall, some calories matter more, they're just empty calories and they do nothing for you.

    Here's to a new week!
    I slacked this past week on tracking, so my goal this week is to track everything.
    Apparently I have gotten comfortable at this size. I have done pretty well at maintaining over the past 4.5 months, so I know I can do that. I just would like to break the maintenance cycle, and get into a different weight decade..... And I would like to do this before the end of the year. Naturally, I pick the last 3 months of the year, to buckle down. When all the sweets and feasting happens. UGH....

    Had family birthdays this weekend to celebrate... and my sister came up to visit, with her husband. She found out recently that she is pregnant, so celebrations were happening all weekend. Also have a sick little one, so we spent lots of time resting with snuggles and movies.

    Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

    Happy Monday guys!

    Daily post: Sunday
    Track: Yes.
    Calories: Under.
    Exercise: Some strength training.
    Water: ~2 liters

    Comments: Got to 184.9 this morning. Sunday was pretty successful because I was under calories. Not the healthiest because I had pizza lol but weekends used to be a huge binge fest for me. So I'd always go two steps back in my tracks. But I'm pretty happy because dinner was healthy and I was under my calories. Really loving my motivation lately. So I surpassed 185.0 and my new mini-goal is 180. Hoping to get to there in a healthy, steady way!

    Daily Report Mon 8 Oct

    Tracking: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: No. Did my Mon workout yesterday

    Good and bad news from my doctor's appt this morning. Normally, I see him twice a year, but since starting my weight loss in June, it's been every other month. Good news is he has taken me off the high blood pressure meds and januvia, which lowers sugar in the blood. Lab reports look great, so that's the good news. Bad news is he is retiring next year. He's been my doctor for over 20 years, and I'm going to miss him terribly. I did weigh myself on my home scale before I headed out the door so I can compare to the doctor's scale. Seems mine is about 1.5 more. I'm sure I didn't lose any weight on the ten min ride to his office.


    Looks like another hurricane is heading our way. The fun never stops.

    @jcgator2016 Most of that is fantastic news, congrats.
    I had a dr that I saw for like 15+ years and I loved her, but one day, she just quit, and I still to this day have no idea why.
    I, too, visited my dr today for my annual visit with her. She looks at me and goes, you know you don't look at all like you're in your 30s, my reply...that's probably because I've lost 65 lbs in 15 months...and she looked at me like that idea was totally a shock..it's days like this I really miss my old dr, she KNEW me so well...I grew up with her.

    And that really sucks about the hurricane...

    And to top is off, I called my dermatoligist for my annual checkup this afternoon, and the receptionist told me he had retired a couple months ago. WTH. So, I'm going to see a new dermatologist next week.

    It is really ha d changing doctors. I feel both of your pains! After 30 years ours stopped taking our insurance. We changed the next year so. Y husband just didn’t go to the doctor u til we had new insurance. I in the meantime needed one so got a new one and chose to stay, but it hasn’t been as nice since he hasn’t known me thirty years!

    Congrats on most of your news though,@jcgator2016! Getting off meds is very big! Wowza!
