I fit into my late husband’s size L sweatpants today and, even though they are more slim lined than women’s, they were a little too baggy in the legs. I can’t remember the last time I was a size L anything! It’s been XL or larger forever, it seems. Great victory! 😁

Daily Post Tuesday
Track: Yes
Calories: Over
Exercise: a bit of walking to look at Christmas lights with my daughter
Day: today I binged on some Atkins chocolate bars that I swear taste just like Mr. Bigs... I ate the whole box 😬 but! Then I went out for coffee with a friend and made really good choices (there were so many of my favourite treats available it was ridiculous) which is HUGE for me cuz usually a few bad choices turn into a full blown binge and spiral. I guess I still haven’t gotten totally back under control from my weekend but I’m still really happy that I didn’t get the ice cream, cookies, donuts and marshmallow squares like I wanted even when my friend did.
Water challenge: didn’t completely hit my goal but I did make the conscious choice to drink more water so I’ll take it as a win.3 -

Daily Post: Tuesday
Track: Yes
Calories: Over by 400 or so
Exercise: No
Day: I was busy and anxious at work all day. I had soup for lunch which was apparently to filling enough because I was starving all afternoon. I went home and had a pretty healthy dinner but by then I was basically out of calories. Today (Wednesday) I had a biiiig salad for lunch. Not more calories just way more greens than usual so my tummy is full and I should be able to save my 400 or so for *dinner* instead of garbage at 3pm.2 -

Morning team!
I need some advice and I'm hoping someone here can shed some insight.
I am suffering with terrible constipation (sorry TMI in the morning). I've had this problem in my previous MFP round (when losing weight successfully) but it cleared up then by adding chia seeds to my diet. This time, no luck. I'm getting cramps and bloating and quite uncomfortable.
I'm avoiding the doctor as I know they'll suggest laxatives which I prefer to avoid if I can.
Looking at my macros, I'm genererally slightly over carbs and slightly under fats. My fibre is consistently under goal.
Any suggestions?
Thanks team!0 -

How is your salt intake? I seem to have this problem when i get higher in carbs and higher in salt intake.
I am having meds for it, 1 satchet a day, resolved in water, just before breakfast.
It helps me poop, and if that does the trick, why search for different way's
Meds i take are a combination of fermentable and non-fermentable fibers, which helps for the good bacteria in the intestines and makes my poo not rock hard, which makes it easier for me to poop

Definitely try to up your fibre and you may need to increase your fats a bit too (healthy ones like coconut oil). Are you drinking lots of water?
Try eating P foods (peaches, pears, peas etc) as they’re all supposed to help with constipation.
Another natural solution to try could be sugar alcohols, they move right through you. Have you ever used xylitol? I use it instead of sugar cuz I’m a low carber but for people who aren’t used to it it can really get you going lol. (Even people who are used to it, if you have too much). I’d try a teaspoon in coffee or tea as a start.

@pearl4686 Shirataki noodles will clean you out. They’re nicknamed “the broom” for a reason. Miracle noodles ate the brand I use.1

Thank you everyone for your suggestions! Been to the pharmacy this morning to get some laxatives but I will hold out till tomorrow and try some of the food suggestions first. Fingers crossed...0

@AmyG1982 I just sent you a message, so keep an eye out!! Thank you
Also, I am still here team! It is just the craziest week at work. We still have a full week before the holidays but it seems like everyone is trying to fit everything into this week! Its also our holiday party today so wish me luck!
Yesterday we had a team lunch AND dinner, so I stuck with a salad for lunch knowing that dinner was at a hip new restaurant in town and we were doing the Chef's Tasting Menu. It was AMAZING, but also 5 courses and there was lots of wine. So feeling a bit bloated today....
This morning there was free breakfast and we have the holiday party so my current plan is to skip lunch to compensate. We will see how today goes!2 -
How is this always me? My car was rear-ended on Sunday and I'm needing to figure out how to get repairs done. It's no THAT bad...just stressful enough to make me run for the cookies apparently.
I'm going to eat a big salad and reset before an after-work gathering this evening.

Good day today. Headache gone when I got up this morning but creeping back now. Took a preventative so hopefully it doesn’t get as bad as yesterday.

Victory today! I went shopping during my lunch break and drove past a Chinese restaurant, Whataburger and Wendy’s, which are all big temptations for me. I’m so glad I didn’t give in.3 -
