Week 2
Pw- 194.4
Cw- 194.8
Not sure how my weight went up. I was at or under 1200 calories all week. I was over 10,000 steps each day. Went to zumba. Went for a few walks. Got over 16,000 steps yesterday. Didnt eat at night. And TOM is due next Wednesday so next weigh in will be up regardless of what I do.5 -
Looooooooong day yesterday. Up at 2:45 am to catch my flight. There was an accident on one of our little roads and emergency personnel had entire road closed so I had to backtrack and made it to the airport with minutes to spare. Grabbed a bagel, ate half and threw away the other half. Landed in Minneapolis... grabbed a banana and a bag of chips. I did finish the chips but in two sessions. Listened to PNP podcasts and another one @cyndiesstuff recommended some time back... can’t think of the name at the moment. Oh I also downloaded the Beck book on my kindle but haven’t begun it yet. Landed in Detroit... grabbed a salad & a glass of wine. Ate 3/4 of the salad. Had an hour before next flight so walked around the airport for 45 minutes. There were 2 other people walking like me. Most people were just sitting staring at their phones like zombies LOL. Airports are interesting! Landed in Harrisburg at 5:30. Hello Pennsylvania!! I don’t think there are two states more different from each other than Montana and Pennsylvania LOL. Hubby cooked dinner... did not eat mindfully was too damn tired to think LOL but it wasn't real bad, just steak and brussels sprouts on the barbie.
Food: Partly logged, ate ok for a full day of travel
Water: terrible, I hate using the bathroom on a plane
Steps: 12,346
Today will be all about hydration. Hubby is working today and then we’re going to our fave sushi restaurant for dinner. About to head out for a walk after I finish my coffee and need to run some errands. Should be able to catch up on posts later.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.3 -
@Julie8468 great job with your loss this week! Yes try the hand that’s great.
@nstephen01 glad you made it to PA. Your doing great. Loved your 45 minute walk.
@cyndiestuff we are addicts all the way. I too have addictions that I deal with. Food is one of mine among others. Someone in my past was kind enough to call me on one of my addictions. I attended 12 step programs for 3 years in 2 different states. It was hell but to this day I practice all the techniques I learned years ago. You bring me back to those days those meetings. Your words of dedication to your health are in conflict with your actions. It’s really difficult to hear a fellow addict in the midst of their acting out. Integrity and owning it are important. But you are still full blown acting out. Maybe the degree of acting out is better than other days but it’s still acting out. We don’t just smoke a little, drink a little, flirt a little, snort a little...it’s all acting out. We can rationalize and say food is different but not really. We know what we are doing when we buy those gummy worms and we eat those gummy worms. I know you are seeking counseling. I wonder if your in denial but I’m not sure. You and I are friends so I’m putting this out there from one addict to another. When we come clean and take our “sobriety “ seriously, then that’s what we do. One day at a time.0 -
Daily check in Saturday
Food logged over 50
Water 64 oz
Exercise 15 yoga
Steps 5382
Abs challenge
Yesterday was a whirl wind at work. Got home tired about 6:30. Did yoga and abs. Really struggled to eat everything. Wanted to skip dinner but at 7:30 made a black bean “taco” salad. Lots of veggies and mom’s salsa for dressing. Desert fresh raspberries. I felt the tug of the scale last night. I really wanted to weigh before I ate dinner. Especially since I wanted to skip dinner. Part of me feels “fat” from eating so much food. But for now I’m eating on faith that these nutrients will benefit me so for today I eat. And I avoid the scale game. I think I may have stepped on a small sliver of glass 2 nights ago. I feel a raised bump but can’t see anything. And I have a 5 mile training run this weekend.
We have the next 4 days off. So much to do. We decided to stay home. I’m still in bed but need to get up and start our long 4 day to do list. Molly’s birthday tomorrow so we will fit in some fun too.
Our focus next week is romance. Different than the last 4 weeks but still challenging. How do you find time for sweetness? Starting Monday that will be our weekly focus. I see lunch, backgammon, frisbee golf, some smooching and massages in the mix.
Have a good weekend everyone.4 -
@lenka1 - 💯 true!
@cyndiesstuff - you did really good yesterday considering all the stress. You are such a good daughter, how is your dad holding up?
@nstephen01 - oh my gosh what a trip - Montana to Minnesota to Detroit to Pennsylvania. Exhausting! You were so close to me too, even if I live about an hour from MSP! Have a wonderful visit with the hubs!
Yesterday check in
Food - pretty good although I was still hungry after supper so I had some paleo bites from Costco. Low carb but higher in calories
Water - great
Exercise - 12,000+ steps but no yoga ran out of time
Today is the shower so I will have a protein rich breakfast just before we go and stay away from anything bad there. So not worth it, escape plan: if I feel tempted or feel weird not eating while everyone else is I will get a drink and talk to people to stay distracted. Let you know how to goes.
Today’s plan:
Carbs low
Plenty of water
Yoga and steps even though it is raining cats and dogs!
Have a wonderful Saturday!5 -

Hello & happy Saturday!😊
As you can see from my weigh-in, it was a horrible week! I haven’t worked out in over a week and my eating was completely off! Almost every night I had stuff going on.
Ready to start fresh again! I had a great last few weeks and I feel like I’m back 10 steps! So far from where I wanted to be by now. Memorial Day is so close! This journey is a roller coaster! I was going to lie about my weight, but that’s nit what this challenge & group ate all about! I have to forgive myself and get back on track!
Have a great day & weekend!😊4 -

Daily check in for Friday
Food didn't log and under
Water 64 oz
Exercise and Steps none and 8941 steps
Yesterday was so great! I got so much accomplished and off the "to do" list, got to the shore, went shopping, got unpacked...Then got an angry text from someone who was working on the bar with my husband. I don't know why I am involved but sounds like the relationship is over and he is furious. My husband said he is not quite sure why he is angry, they were trying to finish up the last few things and he just got irate with him asking him to finish a few things. The reason I am so upset is he is our next door neighbor at the shore. I am still sick when I think about it. I tried to be nice and apologetic but it is going to be weird. I am guessing that is why people aren't supposed to hire family and friends. So, after having a great day, I went and had some mini donuts. I did stop and go to bed instead of having more. Had some more when I got up but stopped myself and had breakfast instead. Planned on a lazy day today and so far I am living up to it. I am going to go for a short walk later and may ride my bike. I just need to stop thinking about the neighbor thing...
My difficult thing to resist this weekend is those mini donuts. How I am going to resist is there are enough still there for everyone to have tomorrow if I don't touch them. Normally I would go to the store and buy more but I don't need to if I don't eat them. I bought them for others to enjoy, not me.
@lenka1 Wow! Love that!! Thanks for posting.
@GingerPwr Sounds like a good day and a fun night!! That's a great way to burn some calories!
@cyndiesstuff You did a great job with your Mom yesterday. It is hard for someone who is afraid they are having some kind of cardiac event to be talked down. You did an awesome job explaining it all to her. As for you, you are going to have good days and bad days. Yesterday wasn't your best but it also wasn't close to your worst. Looks like you have a good plan for today and the weekend. Hugs!
@Julie8468 Sounds like you are right back on track after your "cheat" night. I am more of a sweets person but there is something about chips that makes them so easy to over eat. Sorry about the dishwasher. What a pain! Hopefully it gets repaired soon!
@Zumba_Luvah That is basically a maintain. So much can go into the number on the scale. Don't let that in combination with your TOM next week derail you. Keep doing what you are doing and you will have a nice drop the following week! The scale does eventually catch up!
@nstephenson01 WELCOME TO PENNSYLVANIA!! I am glad you arrived safely! It is funny, now when I am at the airport I walk around too. The only time I sit is if I have to repack my carry on bag Lol! Enjoy this time with the hubs! I am so happy for you!
@Mrsbell8well Is there a way to eat everything you are supposed to but have smaller portions of it? Or is important to have a full serving. I wasn't sure if the plan was focused on the variety of foods and not necessarily the portions. Week 4 sounds like the funnest one yet!! What a nice thing to focus on! Enjoy your romance week!
@carlsoda I like your plan for the day and the shower! Good luck and have fun!
@kirsten1121991 I love how you take accountability for your gain and are ready to get right back on track! I know you already know what to do. You can and will do this! Hugs! Love the pic! Looks like a fun night in NYC!!

Exercise - 13912 steps including 24 minute run
It is a long weekend & we are out of town, so lots of temptations around, particularly sweets & alcohol. We have a great Airbnb house so am having breakfast & lunch at home. The rest of the plan is to load up on veggies at supper, limit the wine, no desserts & get in exercise. Already went on a hike this morning and am planning a walk this afternoon. Am taking a break from my running recovery plan until Monday. Overall, the running is going very well and have completed the first of eight weeks in the recovery plan.
Hope that everyone is having a great weekend!3 -
660 calories a plate. As you can see I didn't eat it all. And I put way less sausage and a little less spaghetti noodles on my plate so maybe 550 calories. Yummmmm.

wow, i felt great yesterday. i followed my food plan to a t!! yes. i am so proud of what i accomplished yesterday. after i had finished my 30 minute walk, i went to pick up my son josh. we got back to the house and jim said, bill (jim's cousin who is dying of cancer) just had a tree dropped. wanna come with me to help clean it up? me and josh both said sure. bill lives down around the corner from us. he is a sweet old man who is frail and thin from cancer. this is his second round of fighting this disease. it had been in remission for 8 years. i let josh drive the tractor and trailer and jim took the mower and off we went. we started our good deed around 12:30. it was a huge tree that had been dead for years and the man that dropped it, just took the wood he could use for his furnace. rake and load and drive to the back 40 to dump. we finished about 4:30 and then jim mowed his grass. billy came out and said you don't have to do this, and jim's words made me smile. he said, "we have to take care of our old folks, don't you worry about it!" what a sweet kind loving compassionate man i am going to marry. i feel really good about making it just one day. today is going to be a repeat!!

@Julie8468 lol. too bad you couldn't fix your dishwasher. i would really miss mine. never use to have one till i moved in with jim. and the writing in on my had keep it on the top of my mind. it really did help!!
@Zumba_Luvah ohh thats nothing. your weight can fluctuate for many known and unknown reasons. and as i started getting older, i would start to retain water the week before TOM too. hormone fluctuation!! you got this. keep working your program. the scale will catch up.
@nstephenson01 wow girl. look at all the amazing things you did to further you to your goal while you were at the airport. great use of time. and when you were in Detroit you should have stopped by! i am about an hour north east from there!! you have fun and kiss that man of yours again, just because!
@Mrsbell8well first of all, thank you. i love it when a good friend tells it like it is, even if it stings a little. i agree, i talk about taking care of myself but then i hurt myself by compulsive eating. there is a constant argument going on inside my head. my more evolved brain says i need to take care and my primal brain says no eat. i am working on retraining that primitive brain. ohhh girl, and you speak the truth. i just can eat a little. once i start i just keep going. and i agree, food is no different. if anything it is harder because we have to eat, but we don't have to smoke, drink, do drugs, or have sex. and yes, i knew exactly what i was doing when i bought those gummies. i was going to do it and i didn't care. my why was not powerful enough. and i don't believe that i am in denial. i know its a problem, its a big problem, it is disrupting my life in negative ways, i am a work in progress. quiting cold turkey is hard, but i quit smoking and that was really hard. i can do hard things. and today, i will channel my inner angelina and it will be just one more day.
@carlsoda ahh, my dad is showing the stress. i keep telling him he needs to take care of himself but he is stuck to my mom like glue. i love your escape plan!!
@kirsten11872 ohh no. i am going to tell you the same things that some wise friends on our team told me. it is unrealistic to think that you gained 5.2 pounds in a week. between the sodium, homones, water weight. but i am sure that you have gained. it really seems like this plan is hard for you to be consistent with. maybe start focusing more of your time on your behaviors and that thoughts that drive them. this is not just physical. the mental game has to change too. and you are such a cutie! what a great pic of you and your friend. and i am proud of you for coming here and telling the truth. it truly is a NSV!!
@sleepymom5 ohhh no, working with friends and family is hard. especially when there has been a lot of stress. be sincere with your friend. let him know you value his friendship and ask what you can do to make things right. and did you really analyze your over eat on those doughnuts? don't just glaze over it with cream filling. it seems like you had a crazy situation that you told yourself it was ok to just go ahead and eat. and then it snowballed. the sugar provided you with the surge of feel good hormones and then you wanted more. the second over eat was all about satisfying that urge. so it really sounds like sugar and flour are triggers for you. be very mindful when you allow yourself to have them. have them when your feeling strong and not tired. then you will be able to stop at one. but if you wait till your stressed and tired, then your resistance muscle is week. build that resistance muscle girl.
@Cafelelia sounds like you have a great plan. i am so glad your recovery is going well. you seem to really love the adrenaline you get from running!!
@DananaNanas ohhh man, wrong way. today is a new day. what will you do today to help further you to your goal?

Didn’t start my day until about 11:30. We had a great time at the library and stocked up. Came home and read outside on the lounge chairs in the shade with a cool breeze.
We had planned an evening of thrift store shopping and decided to invite old folks. Went out to dinner. I had a large salad before we went for Mexican food. I felt like I ate too many chips. Molly said I had about 8. Ordered beans and rice and corn tortillas. Turned into a social night about family and only had 30 minutes at thrift store vs the 3 hours I had envisioned. Oh well. I’m frustrated that I didn’t get to shop, ate lunch and dinner out yesterday, skipped my exercise and mad that I don’t get to weigh. It seems stupid that I can’t get on the scale. It’s a silly thing. I’m sitting here still pondering the pros and cons of weighing this morning. Sigh.
Gearing up to do my longest run yet shortly while it’s still cool out.
Today’s a new day and I have lots of good food stocked and good books. Today we’re cleaning the house. And it’s Molly’s birthday!2 -
@cyndiesstuff pasta is my favorite food. I also love using 1/2 zoodles and 1/2 noodles so I can eat a big portion. We also love chickpea pasta. Yours looks yummy0

Just finished an hour run. Phew it was hot and my run ends with a hill. But I did it. And I stayed off the scale. It’s getting a new home under my bed.

Yesterday was a great day and my escape plan worked, I had one sausage and 2 spoonfuls of fruit and left the rest. The cinnamon French toast sticks smelled lovely and there was a huge cake. I am also glad I brought some water, they had punch and coffee, but I had my can of water 😁 thank you Dr. Beck!!
Today is church with daughter and baby then we will head into the cities for some consignment shop shopping, Lowe’s for a mover blade and Fresh Thyme for a bag full of fruit and veggies.
Have a wonderful productive Sunday everyone!2 -
Hello team, I am back. I'm sure I missed my last weeks weigh in and I'm kind of lost as to what week we're on, but my weigh in is today so I shall add that right after this.
I was heavily over taking my meds and self harming a lot. I had an explosion of emotions and anger and couldn't quite control my mood so I went into Rehab from Thurs. To Thurs. The 16th, about a week. I only got out because my Psychiatrist and I made plans for me to join a DBT group. I had my first group when I got out and the next will be the 30th. It's a hard group, but I have to continue to try. I'm still depressed and still battling and struggling, but I have a great team of people helping me and you all here. I haven't gotten back to counting my calories or wearing my FitBit yet so I am hoping in June, can be a fresh start and get back into doing better with my intake and exercises. Thank you all for continuing to let me be here, I need to really check in more.9 -

Good Morning!
Sorry I've been MIA the last week - it was a crazy week at work, and to make things even tougher, my work computer died. Just went black in the middle of an email, taking all my files that I hadn't yet backed up with it (which I'm notoriously bad at, lesson learned) right before I left on for a long-weekend road trip to Montana, which is where I am now. So while I'm trying to have a good time, my computer is in the back of my mind as I'll have to deal with it on Tuesday when I'm back at work. Oh, and my crown fell off my back molar to top things off.
I don't have access to a scale for my weigh-in today, but I'll be back home tomorrow - will that be too late? (I even checked with the hotel front desk this morning, no scale available, though she kindly offered I could walk up a few blocks to her brother's house and he probably has one - my friend was like "NO THANKS!" before I could accept this generous offer lol.)
I'm feeling stressed out about the computer and the crown on my molar, but also thankful that it's a work computer (so I don't have to cover the cost - i have a brand new Macbook in a box in my office that my boss gave me a few months ago and told me to transfer everything over to as mine was clearly on its last legs, but I kept putting it off - that came back to bite me in the butt, I guess.) and I have pretty good insurance coverage for the dentist, so the cost on that shouldn't be too bad. When I'm stressed out I find my appetite decreases, so I haven't been snacking too much (also i'm trying to be careful of the tooth situation) so that's good, I guess!
I will check in with my weigh-in tomorrow, and now I'm going to scroll through the last few days of comments to get caught up!

@Julie8468 impressive loss and in the 30’s!!! Oh Cyndie is really going to be dancing now!
