Sorry I haven't been on, I am not doing well with time management with this new job. I will get my act together eventually. Tuesday was awful, I really don't feel like we got enough training. I was working from home and had a plan for food and to exercise but got so caught up in everything that my plan went out the window. I ended up snacking because I was starving. I snacked on healthy things but definitely overate. By the end of the work day, I felt better about things, I figured out what I needed to do and made a plan for today with work. I also had a plan for food and exercise today too. Needless to say, today went way better. Tomorrow is my first day going to a doctor's office for the chart auditing. I have someone going with me to show me the software and what to do. I am hoping after that I will feel more confident and can get into a better routine. I have my outfit picked out(you all know how I stress over that), I plan to have breakfast right before I leave and I am hoping I will be done for lunch so I can come home and eat. I am bringing a water bottle and protein bar with me. I am not sure I will be able to drink around the computers but at least I have it if I can take a break. I will check back in tomorrow morning hopefully. If not, I will be back in the evening. Sounds like everyone is doing great! Let's keep this going!
@ihp2015 It is so nice that you are at a point where you are able to listen to your body. Look how far you have come! Awesome loss this week! I am wondering if I should start out like you did and then take snacks away when I feel I don't need them. If I ever get to that point...
@twyla77 Taking the time to make a plan makes everything so much easier. I don't know why I put it off sometimes. I am currently on a putting off phase, I need to get back into the swing of things. We are still missing your steps from Sunday if you don't mind posting them.
@GingerPwr Maintains aren't bad. I am sure you will have a loss again next week.
@Mrsbell8well Nice loss! What is your goal? You must be almost there!! I am glad this new way of eating is working so well for you! Sorry to hear about Molly's mom. She will continue to be in my prayers.
@cyndiesstuff I never thought of that. You will be home recovering so it is not like you can go take a walk or go out. At least in the beginning. We need more books and podcasts for you! I know you will have a plan.
@eyesopennow I think we had the same weather you did but a few hours later. Your lunch sounded yummy. I haven't had a grapefruit in a while.
@amsandos That happens sometimes. I don't understand why. Do you think you had the snack attack because of your run? Maybe you need to be sure you have a healthy snack before or after your run? Sounds like you are back on track!
@Zumba_Luvah It doesn't matter if you log on here. It is good that you are logging and 540 days is impressive! Sounds like you are having a good week!
@pacsnc6 I have been trying to have a drink instead too. My night time snacking has to stop Lol!
@ljdanny Hope you aren't coming down with anything. I was wondering how you were doing on your new eating plan. I am glad to hear it is going well.3 -

@sleepymom5 my goal is 142.8 to hit 60 pounds lost. 142 by June 1st to be in normal weight range and 132 by October 1st before my birthday to begin maintenance. It’s a long journey. I try to stay focused on monthly and weekly goals. It’s mentally very absorbing. I was 155.4 last weigh in. Goal for February is 154.6 for a total of 4 pounds this month. I’m on track with .8 to go.
Hang in there w new job. Mine is new but at least it’s familiar so I’m doing good.
@cyndiesstuff great job super star. Now I’m swinging my hips and doing the happy dance for you.1 -

Pam, I know it isn't easy, especially if you have a new job and everything. But that is exactly why it helped me so much to not have to think so much about it. There were 6 meals a day, and I just had to eat at the given time. Of course, I did pre-plan so that I knew what to eat and when and exactly how many calories for each meal, but that structure was exactly what I needed at that moment.
Now about 1,5 years later, I can feel that I'm now ready to skip some snacks/meals and can focus more on when I'm hungry and listen to my body.
If you think it may help you, then why not give it a go! It certainly can't hurt, right? Of course, you will also get to that point, but it definitely takes time. We all have to start somewhere!2 -

wooo whoo. look at that drop on the scale this week. i am as suprised and amazed as you are. my hard work is paying off. i have been learning alot about my relationship with food. this has really been helping me eat more intuitively. i haven't changed the food i eat. it is already for the most part real healthy. the main thing i have changed is eating when i a slightly hungry and stopping when i am satisfied, not full. this whole time i was overeating. dahhhh, that is why i am overweight. i am working on how i think about this. this is the last thing that i have to change to get my overweight to stay gone forever. credit worthy acts for yesterday: got up early, exercised, replied to mfp, recorded in my journal, listened to podcasts, packed breakfast and lunch, drank my water, ate when hungry and quit when satisfied, made my 24 hour plan, and did not have an evening snack. I am still negotiating with ED but he is not as argumentative these days. I am in 100% control of what i put in my mouth. ED can't make me. Shut up ED!
@ihp2015 ughhh i responded to you yesterday and my post disappeared. i am still not good at no eating the whole package! the old boy brought home girl scout cookie. i told him he was welcome to eat as many as he would like. in his car or at work. i told him some day soon it will be okay to have them in the house but today was not that day. lol.
@eyesopennow I just love the way you tell a story. i love when you add it your side thoughts. retired guy with a bad back and a rust shovel. you write with charm and humor. have you ever thought of writing a book? i would buy it, i think your a crack up! and i guess i never really thought of it the way you described it, it now makes more sense and i had a good laught. thanks bud!!
@ljdanny ohhh no, i hope your not getting sick. that suck. how do you like that new program? did the headaches go away? take care!!
@sleepymom5 it is never to late to check in! don't you worry about the time management thing. with all new things there is a learning curve. you will figure it out. hey and i can't blame you on being concerned about what to wear. just remember, you hold your head up high. Your pam, and you rock!! Now put on your good luck panties and go out there and wow them. (maybe better wear more than panties, just saying!)
@bbcbw nicely done. another pound down. good job. you keep working hard cause this is going to be your year. How are you doing?
@Mrsbell8well ohhh yea girl. doing the happy dance! shake it like you mean it! you and i are going to be the skinny minnie twinsies!!4 -
Just checking in quick! I will check in later today! Hope everyone has a great day!
@bbcbw Nice loss! I love the new profile pic! Beautiful!
@cyndiesstuff Wow! You are doing great! I am doing a happy dance too! On a side note, I just don't get this hunger thing. I need to focus on this. I am afraid I will be hungry before it is time to eat again if I need to. I am going to go through the book where they talk about this and book mark. I am also going to look and see if there are other sources that address this.
@ihp2015 Thanks. I need to start somewhere. I just really am having trouble with this.1 -
@cyndiesstuff I will try to find out how I report it.
wednesday checking
food on target (despite being tempted with crisps)
water on target
exercise run 30mins, swim 60mins
I am really sleepy today. I was really hungry this morning but I am not so much now that it is lunch time. Have another lunch run planned and a gym session today.0 -

Four weeks ago, I was frustrated with my lack of progress and recommitted to a plan…since then I’ve kept under my calories every single day and stuck to my exercise plan. I’m happy with the weight loss during that time and feel healthier, stronger and more confident. It’s been very hard some days, but so worth it!
A lot of nice losses on here the past few days – way to go!

@sleepymom5 overeating is a bad habit. like any bad habit it is going to be uncomfortable at first when you don't do it. the only way to be successful at changing the bad habit, is to sit with the discomfort. when I quit smoking that was uncomfortable. but in order to quit I had to sit with that feeling. the discomfort is not going to kill you. you are not going to starve to death. think of that show survivor. all they ate were bugs and beatles they were ok. it gets easier pam, I promise. go thru the withdrawal and work on the lies you tell yourself about them. they will pass. here was my nite last night.
I ate dinner, mmmmm it was sooo good. but I was very mindful of how much I was eating and when I felt satisfied I pushed my plate away. this was my brains signal that I was done eating. got up from the table and went to change out of my work clothes. I could get a deli roll I thought. NO. I told Ed. I am not hungry, this feeling will pass, I am going to be alright. I go to the kitchen to clean up and Ed says, You could have one deli roll, you have ate on track all day. NO. I told Ed. I am not hungry, I am ok. I went and sat on the couch and 45 minutes passed and I thought to myself, wow 45 minutes and I didn't think of snacking. then I though, I could have a deli roll. SHUT UP ED.
Now you may think that this is a lot. But you should have been with me last week. I had no 45 minute break, it was constant. Ed would not shut up until I went to bed. It has gotten so much better. I am breaking this bad habit. but the only way to do it is to go thru the withdrawl. you can learn another way, it just takes practice and determination. When I quit smoking, it wasn't the first time I had tried. it was the 5th time. but all the times I tried before was not failure. it was learning what worked and what didn't.6 -
@cyndiesstuff - what an amazing loss this week! You are definitely changing your mindset and relationship with food. Great job!!!
@sleepymom5 - good luck today! Should be fun and interesting!! Glad your outfit is already picked out so you don't need extra stress in the morning!
@Shirin_K - another pound gone forever! Awesome!!
@amsandos - Sorry you are sleepy today. I know I am extra hungry on days I am sleepy so just watch yourself. Drink lots of water to keep your tummy full
Everyone is doing such a great job!! I love seeing all the losses!!
Yesterday was a pretty good day - worked from home due to a snow storm. We got about 10" yesterday. We beat the record and officially have the snowiest February on records - 30". More to come this weekend. Not quite sure where to put all the snow. All the banks are taller than our cars and it's hard to see when driving. Being extra careful when pulling out into a road
Hope everyone has a great Thursday!!!4 -
@ihp2015 you are right at Irene. you have to start where you are at. you cannot diet the way I do, I have spent two years learning new habits. meet yourself where you are at and keep learning. that's a huge key to this journey.
@amsandos wooo whoo look at you go. you are doing really well. ignoring those crisp gets easier every day!
@Shirin_K omgosh. that is wonderful. good job girl. and even more of an accomplishment is the sticking to your plan. livin life and losing weight! we need shirts that say that!
@nstephenson01 yayay you. good job at getting the scale to go down. how is the barn project?2 -
@carlsoda thanks. I was always good at losing weight. its the keeping it off that is hard for me. but not this time. I am learning how to love my relationship with food. this way it will be forever. and absolutely be careful. my mom totaled her car because she could see around one of those snow drifts and the other guy that plowed her over was going WAY to fast and couldn't stop. at least she was fine.1
-
I am going to make my weekend plan. Come on Team. its time to prepare for the weekend. I will come back and share when I am done. don't put anything on your plan that you won't do. make this weekend a success.1

Work has been crazy after a week off, but getting caught up. Household stuff like laundry and groceries and appointments also a bit more this week because of the week off, but that is settling back to our normal routine. My second week of attempting to eat at maintenance has been a bit challenging. Probably in part due to the added chaos of my usual life after the week off. Probably in part because I have established ease in my old way of eating in a deficit and this is a change. It was definitely easier when we were on vacation since I wasn't in my routine and higher calorie food choices were all around. Overall I am glad I only have 4 more days of planned deficit/diet break before getting back to my prior routine. Hoping it did my body some good to have the break and it will be easy to get back to the deficit next week.
My next big weight goal is to get less than 183 as this will put me out of the "obese" BMI range. I am trying to maintain and thus not a surprise but my weight the last few mornings is right at 183. So close to "less than 183" but not quite. Lol. Off to catch up on my budgeting for the month. Hope everyone is having a great day!4 -

well i must finally be doing something right because the scale is going in the right direction. let's just hope it keeps going that way. i find i am eating smaller portions, i am making thicker shakes in the morning so sometimes i am skipping breakfast or snack. i haven't been having seconds. only about 50 more pounds to go, slowly but surely.6
