@AmyRobF it’s not too late for you to join the Pilates 10 day challenge. Just pick up on Day 6 and move forward. You can do the other ones when you have time to get in two. They are each about 15 minutes. You can break this plateau and start losing. You want to have your bathing beauty body ready for next May.1

@Terytha so glad to hear you have a diagnosis. I guess that’s better than a blockage or tumor. My daughter did FODMAP diet. Still sort of does although she is much better. She did not eat any fruit with a pit like peaches, mango etc. No tomatoes. She still steals clear of apples. Sometimes anxiety can cause a lot of this. Meditation or yoga may help if you are feeling anxious. I am not a doctor. Just a mom. Hope you get relief soon. Take it bit by bit. You can do this.2

This is a fantastic loss, and you have now joined fellow recent arrivals - @micki48 and @visiri and will soon be joined by @AmyRobF and @cory17 ! Keep a steady hand on the tiller - keep working on your plan to stay on plan, ok? This is beautiful, and so are you 2 -
@jugar Day 4 & 5 done! I did both today. I really liked the Pilates with weights followed by the Stretch and relaxation. How did you do?
I am loving this 10 day challenge. I had done some Pilates in the past, mixed in with all kinds of other exercises, but it is good to learn more. I wish the sessions were longer! I have been continuing with strength workouts too, and I like the combination. It feels great to be building muscles again
(did I just say it feels good to be sore?) 1 -

@ jugar I’m so happy to hear you like it. I joined after doing a 10 day like this. When you join, you have access to hundreds of workouts. You can search by length of time, Body part focus, etc. She also has recipes, monthly mission statements, calendars, and groups. It’s really great, but I will admit, I didn’t make time to use it like I should. I’m hoping this gets me back in the groove. I know it works.0 -

Saturday Weigh-In: 224.8
I was lower, but I've been so bloated and my stomach so irritated that I'm guessing it'll be a while before it settles down.

I found the perfect disaster: a food that is high calorie, not filling, and not tasty at all.
I regret eating it, but science demanded it.
Long story short: I found military rations and convinced all my coworkers to eat some.
Lolol I live in a military town. I probably couldn't pay most of these active duty and retired military folks to eat rations unless they were deployed to a desert and doing so was a matter of life or death. Lolol2 -
Wow! Some impressive losses rolling in -
@Connie7355 3.1

Week 3's Group Challenge is posted in a new thread, so I'm posting it here as well. Hope to see you all participate starting tomorrow!
Not sure everyone knows, but I'm currently undergoing serious house renovations due to a storm which took place on Aug. 4th while I was out of town attending my Sister-in-law's funeral. This storm was followed last weekend by Hurricane Dorian. Thanks to the wonderful company that is doing my repairs and their quick patchwork to protect me until my scheduled repairs began on the 10th, Dorian wasn't too nasty to me! HOWEVER, all this being said, I'm basically living in a third of my home and cannot get to my kitchen without serious work. SO, this leads to the Week 3 Group Challenge...Kitchen Creations and Restaurant Sensations.
I'd like each of you to Name your favorite quick dinner meal, list the recipe if possible, including sides and drinks. Then, if you can't cook for whatever reason, what's your restaurant go-to meal, which is both delicious, nutritious and keeps you on track for your weight loss goals!! If you want extra credit, please include dessert. Pictures are nice, but make sure you include the recipes.
This will help all of us to make a new list of recipes, keep us inspired and MAKE ME FREAKIN JEALOUS, since I can't get to my kitchen!
Enjoy!!
Jessica

So how is sober September going @Andreabroadley and anyone else who is giving this a try? I have had a few moments of ALMOST falling off, but so far I'm hanging tough! It feels great - I'm on an even keel, don't feel like I need to resort to alcohol to connect or squash feelings, and I can exercise in the evening while I watch an episode of something if I feel like it. And I hit the goal weight I set a few years ago, and decided to aim for 5 more pounds.1

Here are some questions I've been thinking about for us to consider: Have you set up milestones for yourself along your healthy journey? If so, when and how often? How will you reward yourself in some non-food way for reaching each milestone?
I started my most recent journey at 360 lbs. My first milestone will be when I hit 330. (I sure thought I'd be there and beyond by now, but at least I'm keeping off what I've lost so far.) Anyway, my non-food reward will be a bottle of Calvin Klein's parfum called Flame. It smells wonderful! And I'm completely out of parfums. I've been using some splash stuff for months to hold me over. (I'm a girlie girl and I love wearing parfum every day...not that toilet water stuff. LOL) Yeah, I know, I sound like a spoiled brat.
My goal is to hit 330 by or before my birthday in November. Can't wait! 3 -

Good Morning and Welcome to Week 3!
Congrats to our two members on the HM list - @matthewsfive and @Connie7355
I read a great article this morning, making it even clearer (if necessary!) how beneficial eating lots of vegetables and fruits can be for us, and debunking a lot of the information out there about free radicals and antioxidants - recent research is very interesting on this one. Here it is if you're interested:
