Was a good day. Usually the day after a long run I just sit on the couch trying to recover from the day before but today I made the effort to do a short, slow paced recovery run and stay active throughout the day.0 -

Timing is everything and my time yesterday was all off. Began well but then grandchild after church asked to come to the house and it was wonderful but threw off the day. All meals were off schedule and my weight was up today.0 -

For the past 6 weeks I’ve barely lost anything. I’ve been going between 139.3 and 141 since 4th August 😢 I’m really not sure what else I can do to get down to my GW of 128 so if anyone has any tips or advice, it would be greatly appreciated 😊

💬Comments: Today I bought a big tub of whey protein powder (Belgian chocolate flavour). I haven’t been getting enough protein in my diet and I’ve been feeling hungry and snacking on unhealthy stuff. I’ve only had one shake so far but I’m not feeling hungry and I don’t feel like snacking. I’m hoping that drinking a couple of shakes each day will help me feel fuller.
Avril, I started doing the same thing so I also won't be hungry and it is helping a lot.1 -

I'm at the same place now in my journey. I've been at a sort of plateau since the 1st week of August. I'm staying between 185 and 187. I'm just trying to work through it.

It's difficult to give any advice without fully knowing, what do you already do or how tall you are, etc. But I believe that deep inside we have the answers for ourselves (e.g. for me it's u underestimating the actual amount eaten if I don't write every single bite down), but for you it might be something else (drinking water, not eating seafood, etc).
So, instead of advice I send you virtual hugs as I know how frustrating it is 🤗1 -

Sending you lots of hugs as this can be frustrating. hang in there. Maybe just re-evaluate what your eating. Maybe your eating more (or your portions have gotten a little bigger) without Realizing?1 -

They are on this big health consciousness kick at work, which is great. However, they are making us take a biometric screening and an online health assessment and tying it into what we pay for our health insurance. That's fine I guess. I took the screening a few months ago and finally took the online assessment on Saturday (I thought I had already done it). Anyway I scored an "F" on my weight. I just find these black and white assessments so offensive. I got this bad grade because my BMI (as of when I took the biometric test) was over 35. It's under now. They give no consideration to the fact that when I took the biometric test last year that I weighed over 270 lbs. I got a "C" on exercise because I walk 4 miles a day, but I don't stretch or lift weights each week. You also get a knock if you don't agree that half of your plate is full of fruits and veggies. I guess I could just lie on all of that kind of stuff....it just bugs me. That's my rant for the day....haha.1 -

Thanks for the replies everyone. I know one thing I need to do is get my snacking under control so that’s probably it. I had been doing great for about 5/6 months and then I went back to my old ways of eating chocoate and leftovers. That’s the only thing that has changed so it’s got to be the reason I’m not losing, I think. This morning i put a scoop of protein powder in my oatmeal and then I had a shake at lunch time which has definitely helped the cravings. I’ll continue to add the protein powder to my breakfast and have a shake through the day so hopefully it continues to suppress my appetite.1 -

Sounds like a lot of BS to me. Although weight can be part, it's not the end all. I work with a lady who is rail thin, but I can walk circles around her, because her life is centered around her phone and TV. She Never exercises.1 -

@CindyJNC1963 They don't like my answers, I don't eat vegetables or fruits and they apparently find that unhealthy even though I'm really healthy now, mostly, still a bit high on bodyfat. I'd probably lie lol. I'm just saying.
It is really frustrating that you've made so much progress since you started yet still managed to get an F. That's really frustrating. You have done amazing for yourself and great things are still to come!! You keep doing what you're doing!2 -

Comments: Took it somewhat easy today after weight training, got a massage because my muscles have been unhappy with me lately, so after that did only 1 small walk as you're not supposed to go nuts, you're supposed to hydrate and take it easy while your muscles relax....so I did, mostly...now tomorrow I'll be back to beating them up...1 -

Question for you all:
Do you make your daily posts the evening before you go to bed, or first thing when you wake up the next day? I usually do it first thing when I wake up the next day because I'm worried that I'll end up getting out of bed to snack on something. Logging my post in the morning helps keep me accountable to myself. Just curious what works for you guys.

Monday was good, but Had the absolute worst night's sleep last night. Total insomnia. When I FINALLY fell asleep around 3am, my husband decided to steal the blanket from me so I kept waking up to steal it back. I woke up in a foul mood because I knew I would have to cancel my morning run. I've come to realize that if I run or do a strenuous workout after a poor night's sleep, I can feel added stress on my heart. So I broke my fast early this morning (Tuesday) I ate a low carb cookie because I needed something to take the edge off of my bitter mood. Yes, it's stress or emotional eating but I felt like if I just limit it to this one (250 calorie!) cookie, it might save me from a worse fate. I do feel calmer. I won't eat again until lunch at 12:20.1 -
My old job did that too (You got a gift card if you took all the assessments.) You’ve come a long way, don’t let those assessments get to you. Like you said, results are black and white definitely not taking into consideration where you were.CindyJNC1963 wrote: »CindyJNC

Question for you all:

I usually do it first thing when I wake up the next day because I'm worried that I'll end up getting out of bed to snack on something. Logging my post in the morning helps keep me accountable to myself. Just curious what works for you guys.
Usually I do it in the evening, while on bed already. As my problem is late night snacking, it has been helpful, as I don't want to be a liar and if wrote daily post already it helps me not to snack.
Problem is that lately my posts reflect that I've exceeded my calory limit, so I don't have this tool against LNS on those nights 🤦♀️1
