    Still eating Keto and really loving it. Joined a Keto group where the leader of the group has lost 100 lbs doing Keto and really helps you understand how to eat and track you macros. It is so easy once you know what you're doing. It is my new way of eating (WOE). I have lost 11 pounds so far jut since Feb 7th.

    Awesome keep it up 💪🏽👌🏾👍🏾

    Hi all - sorry I missed my weigh in yesterday! Got back from vacation yesterday an wasn't able to weigh in til this morning.

    Username: 303lissy
    Week: April Week 3
    Weigh-in Day: Monday
    Last week: 217.0
    CW = 222.8

    Oomph, sorry guys. I think a lot of it is not getting a lot of water/eating a lot of salty foods over the last few days, but I didn't concentrate on eating right. Back to the grind - this will be lower next week!

    🤼‍♀️🏋️‍♀️ HAPPY TUESDAY TEAM SLIMSONS🤼‍♂️🏋️‍♂️

    MOTIVATIONAL TIP: POWER OF GREEN TEA

    "Green tea contains bioactive substances like caffeine and EGCG, which can have powerful effects on metabolism.

    Compounds in green tea increase levels of hormones that tell fat cells to break down fat. This releases fat into the bloodstream and makes it available as energy" Retrieved from articles https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/green-tea-and-weight-loss#how-it-

    As you know I've been drinking my tea after 5pm and it has helped tremendously with my cravings. I no longer have powerful thoughts of cookies, cakes or ordering fast food late at night.

    Remember this is just a suggestion we all have to walk our own pathways on this journey.

    Have a blessed and productive day! 🌞😃

    I might try drinking green tea in the evening. I'm pretty sure I have a box of it. I usually don't like tea unless it's really sweet but I have some of that Swerve sweetener. It's worth a try.

    My doctor also prescribed a low dose of Topamax for me to help with cravings. I'm not sure if it does anything or not. I still have cravings but I refuse to give in to them.

    YES!! When I started my weight loss---I only drank Green Tea and water. Now I have coffee and sugarless soda too.... but I'm trying to incorporate more tea into my day for this reason--- Gloria, you are so right, tea helps with cravings. Peppermint tea especially, is known to curb the appetite. I've been getting Trader Joe's Moroccan Mint Green Tea--hoping that's a double whammy👌🏻😆🍵☕️

    ✅ Track: Yes
    ✅ Calories: Yes, under/fasting day
    ✅ Exercise: Yes, 1 hr. Strength Training Class, 35 min Elliptical, 15 min. Stair Mill & 50 min. Treadmill & 60 min. 3 mile Walk with Aidan & Goldie
    ✅ Water: 205.8+ oz.
    ✅ Steps: 22,181/ 11.38 miles

    🗣Comments/Goals: Running on very little sleep and so today's workouts were extremely hard to get through--- and my fasting day was difficult to accomplish (more than usual). Sleep is so important---let's hope my bladder (no more water after 9pm!), my snoring hubz and the wicked wind of the northeast doesn't keep me up all night (was up and going at 4am today😫😖).

    🤗HAPPY TUESDAY ALL--- keep up the 💪🏻greatness-- so proud of this team❤️!

    Oh I hear this--- I have a 14 and a 16--- and I to stress/emotional eat. It is so hard to watch our child(ren) struggle with anything🥺--- and not having control over it makes you want to eat, I know that feeling all to well.

    I hope he/she feels better and can find a solution to calm that anxiety. Teen years are so tough on all of us!😣😔
