Glad to finally be out of the 340s! Somehow my weight was a little lower during the week, but that's ok. I'll take a 3.8 lb loss any day!
@jugar Please increase my green challenge goal to 10 lbs. It was originally 7 lbs, but I believe I can make it to 10 lbs by the end of the month. Today's weigh-in puts me at 6.4 lbs lost so far this month; my starting weight for the month was 343.6. I'm so pumped!8 -

Thanks for the numbers! More to come - keeping me all kinds of happy all evening, I'm hoping.
It has been a HOT day in the garden, the market, and the kitchen. I feel so domesticated. Time for some wilder projects! Conference call tomorrow with a possible festival next summer to re-mount one of my group's coolest projects. I hope it works
I have an idea. I hear your frustration, @micki48 - you are always there, always working hard, and making not quite the progress you want. You know all the things to do (portions, weighing food, more calories burned, etc. etc. etc.). How about a partner or two? There are some others in the team that might fit the bill. @visiri is also REALLY close to 200. You might team up, read each other's daily diaries, text and pester each other, share ideas, and all the fun stuff. There are also @cory17 who may be in need of some inspiration, and @matthewsfive just getting ready to up her game. There are many ways to have a breakthrough. You CAN MAKE IT to ONEDERLAND.
@evangsimmons170 - great job on your loss this week for sure!!! Green challenges updated.
@Terytha - you too
so good. 2 -
Saturday weigh in:
Username: SueSueDio
Last week: 161lbs
This week: 162.5lbs...
I know why this is. I know what I need to do. Why is it so hard to just get on and DO it?! Argh. Sorry for bringing the average down.
(I'm also about three days behind on the chat, so hugs, cheers or commiserations as appropriate to those who need them!

If anyone is interested in knowing more, let me know and I can give you more detail of how it works.
Good luck to everyone. I have decided to try to lose 16 more pounds this year to get to 145.
I would love to know more about what your nutritionist is saying. So glad hubby is doing well. You both have had great losses.
Thanks so much! Ok, here is what she is encouraging me to eat. It works out to about 1300-1400 calories a day. My TDEE on my apple watch is about 2200 right now. Can't really get much more given events at home. So I am getting say a 500-700 deficit per day.
They have tilted me toward more protein for now. About 90 grams of high quality protein. I am not much of a meat eater. Anyway they really want fish and tofu (which I am allergic to, so no go) and boneless skinless chicken about 3 oz. 2 eggs is one serving 1 cup of milk (a bit low but close enough, I usually add a bit of protein powder). 1/2 cup legumes.
I get to eat 4 servings of added fats per day. This could be 4 tbsp of olive oil. No butter. If it is margarine a serving is 1 tsp. Low fat salad dressing is 2 tbsp. This is to keep this unsaturated. Who knows about this because there is newer research in the area of fats. 8 almonds or 40 pistachios. 1 tbsp flaxseed. Everything unsalted.
Vegetables are free. Except no white potatoes, corn. Sweet potatoes ok twice a week. I am shooting for at least 7 servings a day. Eating cucumbers, carrots, green leafy veg, tomatoes, asparagus. I also like kale but the rest of my family doesn't!
Fruit - 2 servings. Medium apples. A banana is considered 2 servings. For fruits like grapes a serving is 1/2 cup.
Grains - 1 serving. That would be 2 slices whole wheat bread. 1/2 cup cooked rice, barley. Pasta not really workable right now. No chips, snack food.
Low fat cheese - it works out to about 1 oz a day.
Then 2 treats per week. Two small ie 4 oz glasses white or red wine that is not sweet. Or 2 more grain servings. Or two more fruit servings.
Pretty rigorous. Won't be the long term solution. But it is getting me 1 pound a week.
I take vitamin D supplement, 1 calcium pill and 2 omega 3's a day as well.
Here is what I ate yesterday.

Congrats on your weight loss. That's fantastic! Glad you had a good time with your friends. Sounds like your hubby is on the mend. Slow and steady wins the race.
Thanks so much. Congrats on your great loss this week.
Re slow and steady - Yes you are right. I rarely show a big movement on the scale week to week. So I just keep trying to edge it forward in the right direction these days.3 -

@Andreabroadley thank you so much for that information. I am going to try to play with macros like that and try some of those guidelines. I really appreciate all the detail. Doing some reading on exercise as well. Thanks again. ❤️1 -

Good morning everyone. It’s Sunday Funday which means I get to go out for a long 10k walk with one of good friends.
Yesterday was “La fête National” in France (kinda like our 4th of July), and so I took an off day and just enjoyed our friends and all the food and drink that comes with it. But, I am paying the price on the scale this morning. Up 3.7 lbs!! I know this is mostly water retention from the high sodium foods and alcohol 🍺 but man it hurts to see that number on the scale after 2 weeks of hard work. All in one day!
It’s ok. Today marks the beginning of a new week and new opportunities to get it right. Lots of water, like always, and keeping as active as possible. Have a great Sunday everyone! ❤️💪🏻

It’s been about 8 years since I was in 150s. Thanks for your support!9 -

Good to see you anyhow! Since your weigh-in was too late, you went in as a NWI (no weigh-in) so your weight was left unchanged from the previous. This gives you until Friday to chip away at what you gained! You know what to do - and hop in here from time to time for some inspiration and/or kicks in the rear! I bounced around in the upper 120s for AGES. Not sure if you're a shorty like me, but you must be getting close to your goal in any case - it gets hard, but you can do this! Record everything (in advance if you can!), share your journal with a buddy, whatever it takes.2 -
The week 2 tallies are DONE! We did not make the top 3 this week, but we lost more than last week. Everyone did! The F2F challenge as a whole went from losing 13 pounds in week 1 to 105 pounds in week 2! That is some serious hard work from ALL the teams. @Navydaddjtc will be posting the results later today. WELL DONE, everyone 4

Yesterday we went to a new restaurant that people have been raving about. Their shakes are crazy. I will post pictures. To say the least I went way over calories!
2 -
All I can say is WOW, @AmyRobF!!!! Those look soooooooooooooooo good! 2
-
I went over yesterday too and had a chocolate shake but it looked nothing like @AmyRobF’s!! Oh my goodness those look soooo good!!2
-
I think I'm in a sugar coma just LOOKING at those shakes!3
-
Omg those shakes are crazy!
I was out all day with family today, lots of food, including a birthday party, and eating out. I was super conscious and mindful all day but crashed on biscuits when I came home
Displays of food play mindgames with me

GREEN JULY!
Well, folks - we still have to pick up the pace on the green July pledges! We have pledges to lose 93.5 pounds, and there are still 67.6 left to go. There are 3 more weigh ins counting this week, so let's find ways to get things going a bit stronger, or revise the pledges if needed. Some are really close and will be able to get there easily - some others have had a slow start and need to watch those calories in and out. Come on into the chat here to talk strategies!
And @Perla4686 - don't worry! You have only 1 pound left to lose in these 3 weeks to meet your pledge. You might want to increase it a bit! You have been doing great, and those biscuits are NOT going to be allowed to pull you off your track.2 -
Back home, will step on scale tomorrow. Back to food tracking too. I was pretty good while o was away, so fingers crossed.2

Good morning everyone. Wow i just can’t believe my weigh in this morning. I’m up again. BUT, I think I know what’s happening. I’m right in the middle of my ovulation cycle and I am feeling quite bloated because of this so I am hoping this spike is really mostly hormonal. My food intake could be better but it’s mainly been protein and vegetable with the occasional few beers and wine. Anyways it is what it is. I’m still pushing to do better each day and won’t give up on my goals.
I had a nice very long walk yesterday with my friend but not the full 10k we’d hoped for. More like 8. My friend hasn’t been feeling well (heart patient) so we cut the walk a bit short.
This morning I completed my C25K week 5 day 1. Looking forward to completing this week. This will be the farthest I’ve gotten on this program!
I won’t weigh in tomorrow as I will be travelling bright and early and I’m not sure how accurate my mother in laws scale is so let’s see how Wednesday’s weigh in comes in. Fingers crossed it’s back down! ❤️💪🏻
