I found these at Sprouts and gave them a try. I’m always looking for low calorie little snacks. These are 150. They’re pretty good.

Yippee, the milestone that eluded me for a year!
I'm now 30.1 lbs down from my starting weight and 4.2 lbs from my goal, which is 85% of the way.
My waist was 37" and is now 31.5", my hips were 43" and are now 38", and my neck went from 14.8" to 13.8".
Dresses with waists now fit again and my shorts are too big. I've kept all my jeans, pants, and straight skirts, but it's a bit hot for those. Plus the toning hasn't really shown a big improvement below the waist yet, so not sure it's time to try them on.
This is a happy time. My trainer and I had a call yesterday and he said not to be surprised to hit a plateau again soon and if I do, he wants me to have three maintenance-calorie/higher-carb days a week when that happens. I'm not afraid to do that because the two eat-up days a week right now seem to be working in that mysterious way that they do.7 -
Happy Thursday peeps!
Yesterday was a pretty active day. Went out to practice on the driving range and ended up playing a full round with the Hubs. Then we got home and played ping pong with our youngest for a couple of hours.
Food wise, I was okay until the evening (my typical pattern). We got home late from the golf course so we picked up a pizza. Not feeling very good about myself for that choice, but I have to own it as a choice.
Got to my 80 oz of water, so that's good.
Wednesday steps: 15,114
@hope002 I'd love to pick your brain some about IF. I'll message you once we're back from our vacation!
@nstephenson01 Nice loss! Keep that momentum going!
@Cafelelia I think my original goal weight was 130, but I feel good where I am right now. I just want to keep eating healthy and stay active at this point. I think my maintenance range should be 133 - 137.
Keep up the great work, everyone! Stay bright and shiny today!

Tuesday Check in
Food - logged and on target
Water - 64 oz
Exercise - 20 min walk, 45 min walk and PT
I am just going to say PT as I don't do the strength and stretching without the PT. It is just easier to write. I had another good day yesterday. Nicole and I are trying to make it a habit to take a walk on the beach after dinner. It has still been so hot and humid even in the evening. It is nice on the beach with the ocean breeze, it is just the walk to and from it. It is nice to take a shower after, have a cold drink and read my book. That is my motivation to go when it is hot lol! Whatever works right?
Today I just have to go grocery shopping quick, we don't need much as we aren't having any visitors this weekend except Nicole's husband Brian. It will be nice to relax and to get stuff done around here that I usually do in the spring before people start coming down. Enjoy the day everyone!
@Cafelelia I hope your son had a Happy Birthday! I guess it has been hot in the evenings by you too since your run was in the evening. That's the worst when it isn't even cooler in the evening.
@1theresamcvean Whoo hoo! Congrats on over 30 lbs lost!! Plus the inches lost and all those NSVs! You certainly have been working hard to get there! I am glad your daughter is getting in to have her surgery soon. I don't understand why they send people home before they are ready. It is crazy and setting people up to fail who do not have strong brothers to carry them up the stairs I am sure you would be a great nurse, it is different when the patient is your child. I worked in the ICU with a nurse whose child was choking and she just ran on her front lawn with her child and cried and a neighbor ran over and did the Heimlich. She was such a competent nurse so I was surprised but she said there was just something about doing it to your own child. Sending prayers and hugs.
@hope002 It is so nice of you to share your amazing progress and be a source of information for all of our IF questions! I am still plugging along at 14:10 but I am still working on consistency. It still amazes me I can do it at all. I always thought I had to eat first thing in the morning
@tryingagain5 I do much better with tracking too. Hopefully with that and adding in the harder workouts you will get back into your groove. I actually think you seem to be doing much better than you were. I felt like we were losing you and now I feel like you are working on getting back into your healthy routine. You are doing great! I am glad to hear that your church is opening back up. I know you missed it although your pastor seemed to do a lot to keep you all engaged. It is nice for you to pitch and help get them set up. I am sure you will be burning some extra calories with that too!
@kirsten11872 That is an awesome loss for June! I don't know if I ever lost that much in a month. I am glad that you are back in your groove and doing so well!
@KristieJC Those look good! I have to go into Philadelphia to go to a Sprouts, hopefully we get one in the suburbs at some point. Good idea to have something healthy to grab when you want a snack.
@ljdanny Nice loss! The scale is moving in the right direction! Hopefully I can say the same tomorrow!
@nstephenson01 Back into the 160s! Nice loss!
@GingerPwr I know you are always doing kick butt workouts but I really love your ping pong games. I feel like your family may be a little competitive? I love that you have such a fun, family activity that you all seem to enjoy and do often.4 -

Don't understand that, my weight yesterday was 157 I know I didn't gain 5 pounds in one day!
I certainly didn't eat enough and didn't have much salt either.

Oh dear, that's frustrating. But as you noted, it can't be five pounds in one day. I've noticed that the heat and humidity is causing me wider daily fluctuations. How is your weather?0 -

Wednesday check in
Food - slightly over thanks to slice of birthday cake
Water - 1.8l
Exercise - rest day
I am finally starting to get productive around the house and focusing on myself too. I am really loving the fact that school is not in session. The government is still deciding what to do in September, but it looks like students will be physically in school for part of the week on a rotation schedule. Although this is progress, it is not ideal and I continue to stress about what September will look like. I am driving son #1 to my mom’s house today to join his brother. This will be our first kid free weekend in a year!
@pacsnc6 - Sorry about that gain. The numbers are so tricky and there can be many reasons for a gain. Maybe weigh yourself in a few days and it is very likely the number will be down again.
@sleepymom5 - You are doing great and I am so happy that you get to relax this weekend. The walks on the beach sound so nice, even if it is hot.
@GingerPwr - You had a super active day, so don’t guilt about the pizza too much. I will submit you weight range for the goal zone. So happy that you have landed on your goal!
@1theresamcvean - Way to go! That is an amazing loss and amazing NSVs too! You are doing fantastic and you are not far from goal!
@nstephenson01 - Nice loss! Hope that you are doing well.
@KristieJC - Thanks for sharing that tip about the muffins. I have never seen them in Canada, but will look around.
@ljdanny - Theresa is correct about your CW, so you had a loss, hurray!
@kirsten11872 - So happy that you are back in the zone! You are doing great!
@mrsbell8well - I am sorry about that gain. Your goal zone range was 140 to 155, and when you go over, you are meant to switch back to the weight loss team. But you have a few options here: 1. You can move back to the weight loss team; 2. You can change your goal weight range (say 140 to 158), or; 3. You can move to cheer squad, where you don’t need to track your weight at all, but need to state your interest to remain in F2F at the end of each month. Just let us know what you would like to do.
@tryingagain5 - I am sorry about that gain. But it looks like you have a good plan for tackling things going forward. That will be really nice to have an indoor church service again after so much time away.
@hope002 - So the goal really is abs! I love it!
@1theresamcvean - That is great that you daughter was able to get surgery scheduled so quickly. Those small, private clinics are likely much less riskier than the big hospitals, same with the less invasive surgery. Stay strong for those nursing duties!

@Cafelelia I looked for the Bobo's Coconut Oat Bites and they seem to have them at MEC and Well.ca. They must be healthy. I'm going to look at Herbs & Nutrition nearby first to support a local store. I seem to recall that the owner's mother has or had the store Qi on Roncesvalles.

@1theresamcvean @pacsnc6
Heat often leads to greater water retention as the body anticipates needing to sweat (I think through the aldosterone hormone which tells the kidney to hold onto more water, but I'm not a doctor, so I could be remembering my biology class incorrectly). Heat acclimatization reduces the impacts of heat stress, so those few extra pounds are surely worth it!3 -
@1theresamcvean and @minstrelofsarcasm
yes it is hot and humid here in NC so you are probably right about the gain. I walked down the street a couple times yesterday so it added some water weight I guess.2
