@mrsbell8well Thanks for always being so supportive!
@twyla77 Whoo hoo!! Nice loss!
@Zumba_Luvah I like the idea of having little rewards when you meet a goal. Now that I see everyone shoveling, maybe I should be thankful we only got rain. Lol! All last evening we kept saying "if this only was snow we would have so much!" Well at least it is a win/win-you get your snow shoveled AND you burn a lot of calories! Good luck!3 -
Took a little break after I cleaned the whole first floor to see what you were all up to. Now down to the basement for some exercise AND hopefully finish cleaning! Hope everyone is having a fun, restful and/or productive day!

@sleepymom5 I'm so glad you had a great time with your family! Sometimes life is meant to be enjoyed without worrying about calories or exercise or anything but the people we're enjoying life with. You'll get back on track today.
@Mrsbell8well I love your profile pic! You look so beautiful and happy! Those are some rocking pants you bought!
This is my 1 month progress pic. Took the first one (grey Tshirt) December 16th. Took the second one today. I've only lost 5 pounds, but I can already see a big difference in the belly area. I'm grateful for this group - y'all have all been so supportive and it's great to have accountability and understanding all in one place!

WEEK 4 MODERATORS CHALLENGE IS UP AND RTG
HAVE FUN WITH IT

I don't know why I miss so many posts! I refresh my page before I post too! Ugh...Oh well...
@Cafelelia Sounds like a perfect snowed in night! Hope you are making progress with your tidying. I am actually just cleaning now. I love the tidying but don't have the time to put into it. I have thrown a lot away but there is so much more. I am going to finish her books and watch the shows and then start. My basement looks great but I seriously know 75% of the stuff could be gone. I am so glad you introduced me to this! I will post a pic from Florida too!
@Mrsbell8well Size 10!! That is awesome!! You always do so well at the thrift shops! What did you get to wear with those pants. I bought plumb colored pants and was having a hard time matching a top to them. I am having trouble with this business casual...Lol! I am showering and going to start trying stuff on. Wish me luck. Also, I keep scrolling by that meatloaf pic..it looks so delicious...
@nstephenson01 . One night isn't going to ruin you! Your right, just get right back on track. You got this down!
@Cassiegetsfit2013 Cyndie had posted a link to an article a few days back about all the reasons you could be up in weight, it was really informative. If you have been doing what you are supposed to, don't worry about it and keep pushing through. You will make it back to the 170s and get through the too! You can do this!
@kirsten11872 I am going just from Tuesday to Sunday to help her move. The move should be easy, it is all the stuff that goes with it that is stressing me out Lol! I will be happier this time next week. Hang in there, I know when you set your mind to it you do really well. I saw that you already were kicking butt on the treadmill so it seems like you are ready to get back on track!!
@ljdanny sounds like you had a great weekend! I guess the shoveling snow wasn't the greatest but at least you burned some calories!
@czvanut I can see a difference too! I am not surprised, you have been consistent with eating right and exercising. How do you feel about the first month? Have you learned anything?

@carlsoda it’s definitely not for everyone but I skip breakfast completely. I just drink coffee and tea.
If you want to give it a try maybe start with couple of days - 13-14h window and then. Push off an hour next day and another hour then etc
I didn’t jump to fasting right away. I pushed off breakfast til 10, later on til 11 and now Its usually 12-1230 before I eat. But yes first maybe 7-10 days weren’t too easy.
I used to be a snacking queen. Constantly shoving food down my throat. Every hour something. I just always felt the need to eat bc I was “hungry”
IF helped me amazingly with this issue. I don’t get to snack at all anymore bc my body simply knows it’s gonna get it’s calories now at certain time so I don’t really feel the need to eat outside of my window. But when I eat I eat a big meal 600-800 cal to fill me up.
If you gonna try, good luck! I don’t think it’s that hard to get used to it but it may take at least a week or two of tough mornings or nights if you’d skip dinner instead of breakfast.
Thank you,! One I get over this cold I will try it. I usually eat breakfast at 7:30, but I will start pushing it off by an hour and go from there. One step at a time! And yes I need my dang snacks, I don’t want snacks anymore!2 -

That pound feels really hard earnt. Working out a lot and always feel hungry but I can't eat anymore or I won't lose anything. Maybe I need to think about what I am eating and when. I do also graze which makes logging accurately tricky. Despite being on a processed sugar ban I am going over my sugar quota (ok only slightly) but I shouldn't be going over at all I am obvs eating too much fruit. I ahve upped my macros to include more protein which is important when weight lifting.

Really tired today. It took ages to get the LO off to bed then I did an indoor turbo session and couldn't get to sleep. I had to work yesterday to make up for having wednesday off. Please my TOM has been threatening to arrive and now it is here and I have to do it without chocolate because of the sugar ban.

@czvanut I love your picture. 5 pounds really does make a difference.
@sleepymom5 well how did the fashion show go?
I think white or black would go well with my raspberry jeans.
@kirsten11872 nice to have you back. We missed you.
@CassieGetsFit2013 did you get your yoga mat? I ended up buying a new purple one when we were out shopping. Sorry your having a rough time. Hang in there.
@twyla77 what is the 28 day challenge?
@carlsoda there is a life app that tracks your fasting. Not sure if someone mentioned that. It’s ez to use.
@amsandos I use to be a big snacker and a big eater. I was a follower of the 6 mini meals a day but they weren’t so many. It is freeing not to eat so often. I only eat a snack if I’m hungry. And then it’s usually fruit. But as @lenka1 mentioned I tend to eat more at a meal. I made the cauliflower farro recipe that @nstephenson01 mentioned. It was 300 calories a serving. Recipe serves 4 but we split it and ate the whole thing. Plus your working out a lot and need the extra fuel. Are you eating plenty of vegetables? That can make a difference in your appetite especially salads. And a 1 pound loss is awesome!!!
@cafelelia I love your date night. I am almost finished with my tidying chores for January. So worth it and rewarding but oh I am ready to be done. I have laundry room, bookshelves and coat closet to finish today.
@ljdanny what a great weekend. Sounds like you made some great choices. What do you use in your protein balls?
@Zumba_Luvah I love reward system. What’s your first goal and reward?
@cyndiesstuff hope you can get some rest today. Are you feeling any better?3 -

Well i got the grocery shopping done and moms pills done. that was about it for me. no prep work. really feel run down. But i am not working today, so i am up early and hope to get lots done. Still no feeling all that great but better than I was. figures, i had a 3 day weekend and was sick. ughhhh.
@czvanut good job an managing your outing! look at the new you go! and love the progress picture. you can totally see the difference. awesome stuff girl!!!
@sleepymom5 the challenges did actually start on sunday. but people jumped right in and got moving. that is a good thing. i wish for you that this trip to your mom's goes quickly. it is going to be difficult not matter what, but when it's over, it will be done and you can relax. Practice your mediation, i find it really helps relieve stress.
@Mrsbell8well i love the new profile pic. you look ravishing! yay on the size 10's!! sounds like your shopping trip was a blast. i could never do colored pants. they make me to self conscious. Black and brown for work and then blue jeans for home. good job at keeping in you budget with the new clothes. you are a rock star!!
@twyla77 yay! great job. the scale was nice to you this week. keep up the hard work.
@Zumba_Luvah ahhh yess.... you sure do burn alot of calories shoveling snow. great job at rewarding yourself. many times on this journey our only reward is the number on the scale and the scale isn't alway nice. so incorporating nonscale reward is wonderful.
@Cafelelia sounds like you made your snow day fun! good job sticking to your goals at the same time!!
@nstephenson01 ughhhh the best laid plans sometimes fail. but you know how to get back on track. you can do this.
@amsandos lol, i seen that this morning. ooopppsss. your cute tho so don't worry. and remember that no matter what the scale says you are doing great! ohhh myyy good job! awesome loss. and remember that muscle is heavier that fat, and it also burns more calories. but when you work you muscles hard they retain water temporarily to help repair them.
@CassieGetsFit2013 ohhhhhh bummer. I feel for you so much cassie. i know exactly how your feeling. i truly do. but don't give up. this is a fight worth fighting. you can come back from this but it won't be easy, you have to work on it for some time. only your body know how long. hang in there hun... xo
@kirsten11872 i am glad you are finding your way back. this is one of the toughest things to do. our habits are so deeply engrained in us. great job on your day 1. you can do this.
@ljdanny i would say your outing was a success! and that storm was crazy. we got about 5 inches but the wind created some crazy drifts. and now it's like 10 below 0. burrr! and thanks for the reminder about the protein balls, i am going to make them too.

It was slow going yesterday. I started the day cleaning and organizing my closet. Another stack for goodwill. A stack for mom. I packed away 1 bin for summer. On the right side of my closet is my “working” wardrobe. I was able to get my clothes count down to 33. On the left side are clothes that are size 8 or short sleeve, or didn’t make the cut. Not a whole lot of clothes but when I switch I use this side to “shop” from. The project 333 is 33 clothes for 3 months then switch. I prefer to do it monthly for now since I’m losing weight. It really simplifies dressing when my closet has my favorite 33 items.
After that I made lunch then took a late nap. At 5pm I had to force myself out of bed to go do yoga. Then I was dismayed to find I only had 4500 steps at 7pm. I put on my sneakers and walked 50 minutes around the house. 10k steps accomplished. It’s so cold all I wanted to do was snuggle. I didn’t accomplish much but having down time helped me to feel more balanced.
Dad, Molly and I are all getting pedicures while mom is at dialysis today!
Happy Monday everyone.8 -
Cauliflower farro lunch and I made these fabulous treats from Sally’s baking addiction. I rolled mine into balls then rolled 1/2 in raw cacao powder and the other 1/2 in raw coconut. No processed sugar and vegan choc chips. Really delicious. I put all ingredients in food processor instead of heating like recipe called for. I don’t like to heat honey.5 -
This week's team challenge is HARD. OK, I drink too much soda but it's 0 calories, I eat a little chocolate most days but only 5 Hershey kisses, I eat white bread rarely, most of the rest of the list is not on my daily radar anyway. I did not have the kisses yesterday so that s a step on the right direction. Does coffeecake count as cake? It's made with white flour and sugar so I guess that would be a yes.
I will try to do the yoga challenge adding one pose a day, so far I did the warrior pose on Saturday and added the cat stretch Sunday.
Have a good week everyone, let's stick to our plans every day.6 -
I want to suggest to everyone who is frustrated with scale an app called “Happy scale”
It does take in account weight fluctuations and does all sorts of predictions when you reach your next milestone or goal.
I’m attaching screenshots.
You need to play with settings. I weight almost everyday but it’s not necessary.

I am starting to snack at night. I didn't do too bad last week but need that to stop. I am worried about stress eating on my trip. I think I will be ok because I am lazy. I won't go out and get something to stress eat but if it is there, I will eat it. I plan to grocery shop so I won't have junk in the condo so that should help. Busy day today and have to get this girl back to college so I have to run. I will check back in tonight!
Congrats to @Ashleigh1178, @eminater and @cassiegetsfit2013 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place on our team!
Congrats to our steppers too! FIRST PLACE!!
@twyla77 Another great day! Keep it going!
@amsandos Nice loss! You are doing great! The sugar/chocolate habit is hard to kick. I need to do the same
@mrsbell8well Your posts always make me hungry! Lol! You are getting so much done! The fashion show actually went well. Usually I end up hating everything. I think I have enough outfits to get started. I was thinking black with my plumb pants too. I kinda regretted getting them at first but I am sure I can match them up. I love the raspberry ones you got.
@cyndiesstuff Hope you start feeling better. Maybe you will have a slow day at work and can rest there a little. What a good idea! I have never been able to meditate, my mind doesn't settle down but I think I will do better when I am down there and back at the condo. I always wanted to meditate, this may be the perfect time to start.
@pacsnc6 I think that is great restraint sticking to 6 kisses a day! I forgot and had a cookie yesterday back at it today. We can do it! Great job on the yoga poses too!
@lenka1 I use happy scale too! You are making such great progress! It is nice to see on the charts.
@gottagetthisdown Awesome loss! You had a fantastic week!

Making up for last weeks gain! My ultimate goal is to hit 145 by my birthday and I think I can do it. It’s still a couple of weeks away.
Yesterday food wise was very low. I have a cold and I just didn’t feel like eating, but I did have a nice roast beef in the slow cooker and I added chunks of carrots and green beans. Yummy supper. I am home today and hopefully I can flush this guy out of my system. No surprise I got it because about 90% of people at work have it. I was being very careful and washing hands, disinfecting but didn’t work.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!7 -

Yesterday was a semi-rest day. My goals for the day were just to drink plenty of water and avoid sodium which I did. Went over on calories but I was mindful of what I ate and listened to my body. Today's a new day. Dinners are planned out for the week. Today is strength training and I need to get out to shovel snow.
@lenka1 Thank you for your post about Happy Scale. I started using it the end of last year and it does help ease scale frustration.
@Mrsbell8well I hope you and Molly enjoyed the cauliflower farro dish. I'm going to make it again later in the week. Have you ever tried using dried mint? I grow mint in the summer but this time of year fresh mint is hard to find around here. I feel like dried wouldn't have the same brightness.
Have a great day everyone!5 -

I stepped on the scale today to get a quick peek and it was down. Hopefully it stays that way for weigh in day. No workout today, getting my hair done instead. I couldn't pull myself out of bed early today seeing it was negative out this morning. I did manage to break my windshield wiper and could not get the door unlocked at work. Having to have parents walk around to the back of the building in the freezing cold with the wind blowing with their small children was not a good start to the day.
As for my protein balls I use oatmeal, vanilla, honey, peanut butter, flaxseed and chocolate chips. Taste like Reese's peanut butter cups. My favorite. I had some for snack today. I have to make some more.6 -
