I am hopefully now emerging from the post-holiday plateau. Ok, lots to do today to get ready for travelling tomorrow. We have to be at the airport tomorrow around 4:30 am (yikes). But that early start means that we can be on the beach in the afternoon! I hope to at least maintain on vacation. We have rented a beach house with a full kitchen so we will eat breakfasts and lunches at home or packed for the beach. Suppers will be out mostly, but I have started planning with the menus that I know about. My big wild card is wine. I am not a big drinker, so any extra alcohol can cause weight gain if I am not careful. Wish me luck!
@brown6267 - Amazing steps once again!
@Mrsbell8well - Hope you get a rest from this busy period soon!
@jmilner89 - Great loss! Those bushwalking sound amazing! And, you are doing it with your toddler on your back, which is incredible!
@Fi45 - We had your last week’s weight at 205, so you actually lost 1.5 lbs! The sweets cravings may pass, just try some of the methods we posted!
@sleepymom5 - I loved the Obesity Code and glad that you enjoyed it. I am going to read it again on vacation. I love all of the science backed literature on IF, weight, exercise, certain diseases etc. I really think that the medical community is just starting to scratch the surface on research in this area. Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s podcasts & her website are also really great. She interviews pretty much every doctor publishing research on these topics. It can get quite technical but I can follow a lot of it.
@hope002 - Doing fantastic! Keep it going!
@JillyBT - Great day! Going over calories here and there is no big deal. Keep that momentum going!
@rosieposiesrl - Hey, a loss is a loss! Hope that you made something delicious with those berries that you picked!
@lennoncpa - Sometimes it takes feeling crappy to help us stop the unhealthy eating. It is great that you noticed that feeling and then changed your eating accordingly. Maybe the stress of tax season is causing some of that unhealthy eating?
@nstephenson01 - A 1 lbs gain is not terrible. You never need to apologize for any gain. It happens to all of us and the weight loss journey is not linear for most of us. Measurements are a great idea so that you have another metric. Clothing is a another measure too.
@amsandos - You are doing fantastic! Keep those trousers and dresses out and try them on regularly to give yourself that motivation. Work treats are the absolute worst for temptation. Just close your eyes and walk past it all! Also think about that bag of coal that you have to run with in the spring. It will be so much easier carrying it if you have a few less pounds and have built strength from training!
@jedaschultz - That’s not much of a gain, more like a maintain!
@ljdanny - Great loss!4 -

Disappointed because the other day I was below 160!2 -
PT was good yesterday. Several issues were addressed - I limp due to a short leg which probably affects the back, the mid back is where my pain is located - not normal low back pain, slight dizziness may be due to inner ear - or not.
She gave me four exercises to try and wants me to come in once a week. No appts available next week!1 -
Hello and Happy Friday team! I had a good weigh in day so I'm smiling! My hard work has paid off. I've been eating good and getting more than my normal exercise - so the formula works if you work it!! lol!
My foster dog got officially adopted last week and usually I don't know what happens with the dogs once they are adopted unless the people post info on the Facebook page for the Rescue so I had asked this family if they would post pictures on the Facebook page. Well she said we might as well exchange phone numbers and she has been texting me constant updates and photos and I love, love, love it! They lost their 14 year old dog in November so this little guy (Jimmy) filled their hearts and its awesome.6 -

Oh wow! I really need to stop doing things on my phone, or get a bigger phone. I thought that weigh in reminder just said weigh in day not weigh in Sunday
Today I forgot to weigh in this am. I was in a rush but I also think it was a little subconscious that I forgot. I know it is going to be a gain. Weighing in tomorrow won't make much of a difference in weight I am sure. I am doing well this week with water, exercise and my steps are higher than usual. I am not doing well with overeating and eating during the evening. I plan to keep the things I did well going and I am going to work on the other 2 next week. I am focusing mostly on the night time eating.
I was out for most of the day and now I need to get ready for a 60th BD party. If I don't check in later, I will check in tomorrow! Hope everyone has a good night!
@Fi45 Nice loss especially since you were struggling a bit.
@lmilner89 Wow! That is going to be some bushwalk! I agree, it is better to keep the kids active plus you are instilling good habits into them. Great job all around!
@brown6267 You really are doing amazing! I don't even remember you having a low weight day.
@Cafelelia Nice weigh in! You are out of the 150s! That must feel awesome! I can't believe you will be on the beach tomorrow afternoon! You are going to do well, you have a plan and I think that makes a huge difference. You got this! Enjoy!
@hope002 Holy moley! You are just dropping that weight! Awesome job my friend. I know you are working hard to achieve this!
@lennoncpa Awesome loss! You really turned things around and your hard work did pay off! Great job!
@GingerPwr Nice loss! I hope all is going well!
@pacsnc6 Still a great weigh in! You are going to be out of the 160s any day now! Glad to hear that PT went well. The home exercises I find are just as important as the ones you do there. Hopefully going there will help with the issues they found.5 -

Ha, Ha! 😉I just had an age related screening this week too.1 -

I do try to make use of all the resources I have available. I've lived alone my whole adult life and am not much of a cook. A long time ago I used to make things on my George Forman grill, in the crockpot, or oven and portioned them out. I guess I was meal prepping and didn't know it. I need to get back to doing that.
The mason jar salads are pretty big but It would depend on what you put in it. I usually ate something else too but you could make a meal out of just the salad. You could eat it right out of the jar if you want to. I emptied it into a bowl. Since the lettuce or spinach is on top, other things in the middle and dressing on the bottom once you empty it out it will be in the right order.
The larger jar is used for the salad and the smaller one for the overnight oats. They're empty now but my fridge is full and the plan is to do some meal prep tomorrow.
At the make and take workshop we used skim milk for the overnight oats and it worked fine. I didn't care for them cold so I warmed them up, about 45 seconds or so in the microwave. I put them in a bowl first.2 -
@sleepymom5
Here's the pic of the jars that were used. Larger for the salad, smaller one for the overnight oats1 -
Thursday 1/23 check in
Food: didn't track
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: 30 minute session with my trainer. It was hard but in a different way than Wednesday's session. It was more strength training and Wednesday was more cardio/conditioning
I was asked if I wanted to come in early or stay late for overtime. Since Thursday is my volunteer night, I opted to stay late. When we do that we get to take a quick 10 minute break first. After my break I went back in to find out where I was needed but was told they didn't have a spot for me. Apparently several machines were down so that didn't help. My OT ended up being 12 minutes, 10 minutes for break and 2 minutes to walk in and walk back out. I was tired so I was ok with going home. After my session with my trainer, I went to the church where I volunteer. The kids there are really adorable. There are several new families in the program. The little kids will play a while and then they'll come with their arms in the air telling us they want to be picked up. We only hold them for a couple minutes and then they want to go play again. After that I went to work.2 -
Friday 1/24 check in
Food: didn't track/not good
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: none
It was 3rd shift's weekend to work but they decided that we didn't need to work tonight but that it will be mandatory to go in at 8:30 on Sunday instead of our normal 10:30 starting time. I was asked if I wanted to stay late today but had to say no. I had a funeral to go to this morning. The sister of my family's friend passed away this week. She was 83. I was able to sleep about an hour and a half before getting ready for that. After the service and luncheon I went to the store and stocked up on groceries.
I made one crockpot meal so far and plan on making another tomorrow. I also plan on making some Mason jar salads and overnight oats.
I plan on going to bed early since I've only slept that an hour and a half since 2:30 yesterday. Definitely low on sleep.
The weather has been strange in West Michigan today. Temp around 40 with pouring rain.1 -

Sorry, everyone. I know we are trying to stay in the green this month. I was up and down like a roller coaster this week and netted out at 0.1 lb gain.
I'd also like to apologize for being mostly absent. I'm still having a lot of specialists' appointments and tests (for anyone new, I have a recent diagnosis of Meniere's disease which is moving quickly) and more next week. Plus still launching a start-up. My daughter's cancer came back and my mother is doing so poorly that she has to move from the retirement home to a nursing home. Usually, I have so many more happy things to report.
I did enjoy an outing yesterday to the Legoland Discovery Centre with my 2 1/2-year-old granddaughter, Pippa, and 8-month old grandson, Gilbert. I thought Pippa would like it the best, but Gil did. It must have been all the primary colours. To sum it up, we showed Pippa this pink and mauve Lego convertible car with a white Lego cat in the back seat, just the size for a couple of toddlers to hop in and pretend to drive. She got in and took the 'Lego' steering wheel. Immediately she noticed that it wouldn't turn, so jumped out of the car and looked 'under' it, saying, "This car doesn't drive," with a very perturbed look on her face. Really the look was, 'WTF.' When we left, she said in her little 2 1/2-year-old voice, "I don't like Legoland." Fair enough.
I've been so tardy getting back to you all. My apologies if I missed you this time or if my comments seem out of date. I think about you all the time and try to do better because you are all working so hard.
@KUMEcyclingteam Great loss! I hear you on getting old. I've been poked and prodded all month and will be back for more next week.
@lennoncpa Jimmy is so cute. I don't know how you can let the fosters go. Sharing my dog, Xavier (Xavy) here with his beer pong toys.
@GingerPwr Great loss!
@hope002 Same to you - what a loss! I love that you did a black diamond and your ski photos are awesome - before and after! But I see what you mean
@Cafelelia Congratulations on breaking your plateau and getting into the 140s. I hope to see that soon. I loved your post with the little dog in a bathrobe and sunglasses enjoying Saturday. Just show me a dog pic and I feel just the way that pup did in the pic. Ahhh.
@pacsnc6 Congratulations on your loss this week. I saw your question asking if our Smartwatch tracks biking. Mine does automatically. That automatic feature can be hilarious though. When I put my grandchildren to bed (they are babies), if I'm rubbing their back when they're in their cribs, which can go on for 30 minutes straight, my Fitbit records Elliptical. When I go for a good walk with the jogging stroller, it thinks I'm cycling. It has to do with arm movements with no distance traveled (Elliptical) and distance traveled plus heart rate up but no arm movements (Cycling). I hear you on the dizziness. I've got complex vertigo due to Meniere's Disease.
@rosieposiesrl Small loss, but what I'd give for your reading on the scale. I'm so close and yet so far. What scale do you have with such an accurate reading to two decimals?
@phoebe112476 Clementines are really sweet when you avoid sugar! Also peeling them is like opening a candy or other treat. Great congratulations on your loss and normal BMI. I loved looking at your charts. What an accomplishment!
@Fi45 and @Cafelelia Even though I would love to just rely on clementines, I do save calories so that every evening I can give into either a sweet or salty craving. Snacking means a lot to me. Some ways I do this are to divide all 4-serving recipes into 5 and then freeze the ones we don't eat immediately. Anything that's supposed to be a cup, I eat 3/4 or 2/3 cup. Lately, I've been making cauliflower rice and mixing one cup of it with two tablespoons of actual rice.
@nstephenson01 Even though I haven't been here, I have wondered how your barn building was going. I was wondering how you do it considering it's winter. Glad to hear your FIL is there to help. I love wine too and plan ahead to fit it in...dare I say, every day. Not too much, but still.
@amsandos I'm in Canada and we are pretty British in our lingo (heck, we now have one of the princes living here and I live just blocks from where Meagan lived when she was in Toronto), but I get the biggest kick out of the weight loss in stones. So lovely to be able to follow your journey!
@Mrsbell8well I hear you about the busy. I feel so bad when I'm not here and so soon after I joined. But don't you worry, you share so much of your awesome journey with us and I get so many ideas when you are here.
@jmilner89 Great loss and terrific activities this week. I thought I was on the wrong page when you mentioned summer school holidays but quickly tuned in.
@Freeglerock I'm so sorry to hear about your brother and then your step sister. Big, big hugs.
@twyla77 Great week 2 loss and step numbers.
@kirsten11872 I lost you at pudding shots. Just kidding. I hope you had a great birthday celebration!
@sleepymom5 I took my tree outside the same day as you. I felt a great sense of accomplishment, though I hate taking it down. I wish we had them up all year long. I'm sorry to hear about MK. I hope it reassures you to know that my wild child is the most responsible adult. Her medications probably don't help her handle her alcohol, but she needs them and she also needs to be young.
@JillyBT I try to sleep over 8 hours a night and according to my Fitbit this can take longer than 9 1/2 real hours. Drinking all this water/herbal tea can get me up in the night but I don't turn on the lights or look at the time. My doctor once told me not to worry if you can't get to sleep or wake up and can't fall back to sleep. As long as you lay there and relax (like meditating) your body is restoring itself. I love sleep and so does my daughter. Whenever we need a secret password, our question is 'favourite thing in the world?' and the answer is 'sleep.'
@tryingagain5 I'm glad you made it through the colonoscopy and sorry to hear you're dealing with an unknown. The good thing is that you're living a healthy lifestyle. It often takes two years to get to the bottom of medical issues. Stay positive!

Above is the difference in losing weight with IF vs Calorie restriction.
the activity level is the same, I would even say I was a little more active in 2017
