Taking time for me right now getting a pedi. Forgot my glasses so having a hard time seeing my phone so just in case this comes out not making much sense. I'm not surprised with the gain. I didn't workout much. I have not been motivated and have been busy. I'm hoping to be able to get back into a routine. I really need it. The baby shower is Sunday and then maybe all will be good. I will probably eat cake I'm not going to lie. I love cake. If we have a lot of leftovers I will take it to work to hopefully get rid of it quicker.2

Checking in
Food was good yesterday about 1000 calories at the end. I forgot to take my new pill yesterday and got out of bed to take it. I was really hungry and thought it would be ok to broil some shredded cheese on half an English muffin. I ended up eating a hard boiled egg and felt much better about the decision.
I am meeting my grand daughter and her parents at dairy queen at 5:30. I have kept my sugar really low today and think I will get a small dish of vanilla it has been 2 years since I had one, so that is the plan. I am not sure if they are planning on eating dinner at the mall, I think I will eat a tomato and hard boiled egg at home to hold me over and not eat a meal there.3 -
Took my van in for service at 9am. They had advised about 2 hours. They ran into issues and ended up finishing about 2:30. I had taken my snack for the morning and was starving by 12:30. They had a Popeyes across the street I could walk to and so I googled healthy choices at Popeyes. Found several 300-400 calorie options. Plus they had Diet Coke - score. I headed over and found out they were out of ALL five of the lower calorie options. Sigh. I ordered two piece fried chicken and side of green beans. It also came with a biscuit. Then I went to get my drink - they were out of Diet Coke!! I headed back across the 5 lane highway trying to decide what to do. I ended up picking the outside off and putting some of the chicken breast in the green beans. Ate that. Felt better (I get lightheaded and almost confused when over hungry). I was going to save the biscuit for my daughter but was afraid to risk eating it. I threw the rest way. Photo attached is the part I threw away. Seems like a win?? Trying to “think like a thin person.” What would a thin person do? Lol.2 -
Hello and happy Thursday everyone. I had an 8 am doctors appointment to get a biopsy for suspected skin cancer but when I got there they said it had gotten smaller and they were going to keep an eye on it instead!! I was so happy I celebrated by going to the gym and doing a double workout! I’m so happy but my body is sure sore! It’s the good kind of sore😀5

@cafelelia I'm doing IF 16/8 since August 5. Only on August 26 I started using an app. Here is my progress

@phoebe112476 isn’t that crazy how you’re trying to be good and keep getting obstacles in your way. And I can’t believe they were out of Diet Coke!!! It’s awesome you were able to compromise. I’d be the same with the biscuit - I would not trust myself!! I guess we have to keep a good sense of humor and be happy that we are aware of our weaknesses 😀2

@phoebe112476 wow! WTG0

I am back in PA. Tomorrow should be a little less crazy. I am exhausted and heading to bed. I will check in tomorrow.
@carlsoda I am sure that your extra time is all going into buying/selling the houses. How exciting and exhausting I am sure! Be sure to keep taking care of yourself. Make sure you still continue to eat healthy. I am sure all the cleaning and getting rid of things are good exercise. You should try to schedule in some yoga to keep yourself limber. Like I said, I am very excited for you!
@amytriesww Stay safe! Your prepped meals sound good. Especially that Mexican cauliflower rice. Was it easy to make? I am impressed how well you have been doing over the past month and continuing to this month. You got this!
@Mrsbell8well I was thinking about your celebrations this weekend. Can't you make some of the yummy healthy dishes that you love along with the regular picnic fare? This way you can still eat things you love and hopefully not feel like you are missing out. Some of those salads you make are amazing looking! I love not only your goals but that you wrote how you plan to reach those goals. You are going to have an awesome month! Thank you too for always being such a supportive member of our team!
@nstephenson01 I swear that airplane air can make you sick. Hopefully your husband doesn't catch it. I think between you eating differently(more salt, carbs etc) while away plus the flight your weight is up from that. It sounds like you are already getting yourself back on track. Hope you are feeling better soon. I definitely feel an improvement with PT but I still can't walk as long as I used to. I am getting a little faster but not where I was.
@phoebe112476 Awesome job with lunch! How crazy they were out of all the healthy options and the diet coke too! I agree with you. I tried many restrictive diets and lost but couldn't follow those plans forever and ended up gaining the weight back. I am all for the small sustainable changes. You have come so far and have been so inspiring this past year, you will get to your goal and stay there by doing it the way you are. I did plan this summer but things didn't go as I had expected. I guess it wasn't a realistic plan. I can't have certain food in the house. I realized the first summer I was down here that I can't be on vacation with everyone. Good thing this summer is I didn't drink nearly as much as I normally would. I also was better ordering when we went out. So those parts of the plan worked. My problem was the junk in the house. I did buy a lot of snack sized stuff so I wouldn't eat them. I am good if the containers are sealed. The cakes, cookies, donuts etc were my biggest problem. I can stay away from them when everyone is eating but by the end of the night, I just can't resist anymore. I have been working on overeating and saying no to myself but I have not been very successful. I feel like there are so many things I have struggled with in the past that I have been able to figure out. This is my biggest challenge so far and it hasn't been easy. I am going to continue to work on this and hopefully by the summer I will not give in so easily. Or have a locked box for all the junk.
@hope002 You really kick butt with the exercise! Do you think you just may have been hungry from working out or were you just over eating? Sometimes your body just needs more fuel. Give yourself credit for stopping and sticking with your IF plan. You pulled yourself out of it and started your fast early so you would stop. Great job! What app is that for the IF?
@Cafelelia Lol! I can relate to the bathroom trips Lol! I had a dietician tell me that your body gets adjusted and you don't go as much but that hasn't happened to me. She also told me the same thing about beans but I didn't test that theory out. How do you feel with walking. That is the problem that is hanging on with me. I can't walk as fast or as far as I use to be able to. Every time I try and test it, I end up paying for it the next day.
@ljdanny You had a lot going on between getting back from vacation, school starting back up and the shower. You were in such a great routine with your exercise before you left for vacation, you need to get back to that. Enjoy the shower! When is the baby due in Oct? Toward the beginning, middle or end?
@Barbb1557 Good decision to go for the egg over the english muffin with cheese. Hope you enjoyed the ice cream. There is no reason not to enjoy some treats once in a while, as long as it is in moderation. I also liked your plan to eat before you left and not eat at the mall. Planning does help so you don't have as many decisions to make when you are in the moment.
@lennoncpa I am glad that suspected cancer is smaller. Hopefully it ends up being nothing. I love that you celebrated by working out! Wtg!

Hi everyone, I'm Lilly and I should be maintaining my weight, but I seem to fail at it. I was sick last month and completely fell of the wagon. I'm slowly recovering, and getting back on track. At last I'm feeling like myself again, but I'm still far away from my previous exercise level.
I have a new smart scale and it seems to like me. It says everything in my body is normal except my protein levels. Does anyone know what that means?
Had 2 days without sugar, but the big struggle will be this weekend. We're visiting the in laws again, and they have lots of unhealthy food and sweets. Wish me luck

Another good day yesterday AND I went to happy hour with my sister in law! We get together on Thursdays. I stopped by on my way home to try on dresses for my future daughter in laws Bridal Shower next weekend. I bought 3 and all fit. I actually was shopping for the shower but one was way dressier than it looked in the picture so I am going to wear that for the rehearsal dinner. Now I have to shop for the wedding. I have been putting it off for obvious reasons...
Anyway, back to happy hour, I couldn't really drink as I was driving back to Philly so I had 1 prosecco and a ton of water. We split a flat bread, I ordered a salad and I had 3 chicken wings. I felt satisfied and not full, I didn't take any more after I felt I was done. I was happy how things went. Time to get moving! Hope everyone has a great day!
@hope002 Thank you! I just downloaded it Lol! I like they have the Circadian Rhythm fast as I am just starting out. Hmm..starting out? I just am trying it Lol! What is that called a freudian slip
@Moarrein Not that I would know
but I hear that maintenance is tough. You are not failing, you are learning. You are also getting over a long illness, you were sick a long time. I don't know how much you can learn from being sick but if you can figure out why you gained during that time, that would be a plus. I know when I am sick I eat a lot of carbs and sometimes I feel sorry for myself and eat sweets too. If you are feeling better, get back to those habits that got you to your goal weight. You won't be able to abandon them all when you are maintaining so you will need to find balance. You got this my friend! Good luck at the in laws! You know by now sweets are my downfall.
@carlsoda Nothing wrong with maintaining, especially with so much going on. It is better than gaining. Remember to keep making healthy choices and if you have to get something quick, eat till satisfied. You can do it all and stay true to your health commitments I am so excited for you! Good luck with everything! We will be here for you when you are back.
@pacsnc6 Nice job! The scale is moving in the right direction!

My older son has a hockey tournament so I have to rush off to get him there (having just returned from driving my younger one to school). Will post more this afternoon when I have the time!4 -
The weekend is upon us Ladies. Let's not let a couple of days ruin the progress we have made this week.
One thing I like to do is PLAN. If I don't plan, I am more likely to go off the rails.
What are everyone's weekend plans? Do you have a plan? What can you add to the photo above that would help make this a weekend you will be proud of Monday?
For me-I would add make a plan to the photo. My plan this weekend is easy-I am going to prelog all my food, I am going to workout on the stationary bike or elliptical in my basement for exercise(I am getting my hair done today so no pool Lol! ), I plan to get my mini daily goals in-64 oz water, 6K steps, PT exercises, and 1/2 hour exercise. Saturday -I don't have too much going on. I plan to clean and start getting organized for my arrival back at the end of the month. I am getting nails done and we have a 60th BD party in the evening. I am not worried about that, I preordered so I know what to expect. I am not going to go hungry and I plan to only have a few appetizers if any. It is also not a crowd that I would be drinking with. Sunday-hoping to head right back to the shore! I would like to go early enough to be able to go for a bike ride and maybe kayak. The water was too rough when I left so we will see when I get back.
Let's have an awesome weekend and have no regrets on Monday!

Daily Check In: Thursday
Food: Logged, over
Water: Great
Exercise & Steps: none; 6,398 steps
Continuing to fight this silly cold. Extra hungry yesterday but ate what I planned and at least made healthy decisions re extracurricular snacking. Steps pretty good again considering how I feel and I got at least 250 steps all 8 hours. Tinkering a bit with IF as I don't have much appetite in the mornings at the moment. Been curious about it from other's experiences. I don't know if its for me long term but I'm down 2.8 pounds since getting back home.
The Beck Diet Solution book and Cyndie talk about credit worthy acts. Its so easy to beat ourselves up for our little failures and not take time to celebrate our small successes. Here's my credit worthy act from last night... I was craving something sweet and my throat was scratchy. Rather than diving into a pint of ice cream, I made "nice" cream for the first time. Somebody here, maybe Cyndie, mentioned nice cream some time back so I looked into it and had all the ingredients for mint chip nice cream. I didn't take to the time to put it back in the freezer to firm up but nevertheless it satisfied my craving and was virtually guilt free!
@phoebe112476 WTG with navigating all those obstacles! It shouldn't be that challenging to eat healthy LOL. I wouldn't have trusted myself with the biscuit either. I get lightheaded and shaky when I get overly hungry also so I try to remember to carry some healthy snacks with me if I'm not going to be able to eat for a long period of time but sometimes best laid plans fail.
@Mrsbell8well I signed up for Natalie Bacon's weekly e-mails and just read yesterday's. Interesting food for thought. I had never heard of her before... thanks for mentioning her.
@sleepymom5 Nice job last night navigating happy hour!
@Cafelelia Whoo hoo terrific loss!!
Hope everyone in the path of Dorian is safe.

@nstephenson01 Cyndie was great with pulling us out of the negative self talk. It is so important how we talk to each other. I remember that nice cream but forgot what it actually is. Can you post a link to it or tell us where to look for the recipe?2

Finally getting around to posting my September goals:
Lose 6 pounds
Plan, Plan, Plan and stick to plan
2 -3 vegetarian dinners/week. I like to cook and enjoy trying new recipes, ingredients and/or techniques so this journey has been fun.
Here's the biggie... mindfulness. It is imperative that I learn to differentiate actual hunger vs. urge to eat; eat from -2 to +2 and determine the difference between satisfied and full. I'll never truly get to and remain a thin person until I conquer my overeating.
And lastly, my old favorite... improve sleep quality2 -

I found some recipes on Pinterest and modified them to my taste. Its basically frozen bananas and some type of milk. I don't have a fancy Vitamix blender but my old Nutribullet worked fine. The first attempt was too banana-y so I just added a few more of the other ingredients and was pleasantly surprised. I'm not vegan so I used regular milk but its very flexible.
Here's a good intro... https://fitfoodiefinds.com/banana-soft-serve-recipes/3 -

Nights are proving to be a challenge for me. I’m staying under on calories but making poor food choices out of convenience. I just finished 6/30 radiation treatments this morning. I’m starting to feel a little burn and my ports still infected, I seen my oncologist about it this am and he was sending me to the Er because he wasn’t satisfied with progress of the antibiotic, I luckily ran into my nurse navigator and she called and and got me in with my surgeon. He recommended I stay on the antibiotic and have my nurse navigator check it again on Monday. So thankfully I didn’t have to sit in the Er all day. I hope all is going well for everyone.6 -

Happy Friday everyone. I managed to maintain my weight through the holiday and this week but I’ve gotten into a bad habit of not spreading my food throughout the day. I know that’s not healthy but I also know how I am and that I like to eat more later in the day. It’s a daily battle!1
