Good Morning/Afternoon All.........Happy Sunday .....I over did it yesterday with a bunch of errands with lots of standing/walking (in my walking boot) .... today I am doing absolutely nothing ... I usually meal prep today but I am in toooo much pain for that ...Tomorrow morning I go see my GP doctor ...will get my lab results tomorrow
I am sure my A1c is either the same as it was a few months ago (6.1) or lower 0 -
quote="pandygirl1;c-45237487"]This week I'm not going to participate in the daily challenges, just do my weekly weight-in.
I'll still be working on my weight-loss, with healthier food choices and exercise, as I'm able.
Thanks,

WELL IM PLEASED WITH THAT SMALL LOSS. Was a big birthday for hubby so meal out and a huge chocolate, malteasers and Toblerone birthday cake. I loved it lol. We went away for a few days walked loads but also drank loads of alcohol. Ate out for 2 nights too.
Hubby bought me a notebook Be Your Healthiest Yet. I started it today. So I'm determined now as no eating excuses now 🤣🤣.
Congratulations to all who lost, gained, stayed the same as you still came on here and posted.

Just coming in again to share I'm celebrating a NSV today. I have a pair of pants that I bought a couple of months ago in a size too small for me. I tried them on every weigh in and a couple weeks ago I was able to put them on. It felt great to pull them up all the way but they were way too tight to actually wear out anywhere. Yesterday (my weigh in day) I pulled them up and they felt really good! We had plans to spend the day at my parents house today and I've been wearing them all day with no problem!!6

I didn't sleep well last night. Think the phentermine is keeping me up so today I did a simple home workout that combined strength and cardio. Have a meeting tomorrow morning with the personal trainer. I am going to take a sleep aid to help me get some sleep tonight.
Feeling good again today. WAYYY more energy and already seeing improvements in my stamina.
Have a good night guys!2 -

Morning everyone, here for a Monday check in.
This morning on the scale I weighed in at 250.8. I'm happy to see those digits and hoping they'll stay and continue to go down! I still did multiple days of walking and one day of level 1 30 day shred Jillian Michaels so I feel I'm retaining some activity despite my food not being that great this past week. Let's see what fluctuations get me next week 3 -

Nice loss this week. I never have tried the Jillian Michaels shred but it must be intense. When I used to watch the biggest loser I always said if I ever had a trainer I wanted someone like her.Aug 10 week 2 weigh in

Have you thought about shifting your calorie distribution to allow you an after dinner snack? I understand not wanting to be mindlessly eating snacks at night but if you enjoy having a snack at night you could try to fit one in maybe. I enjoy having a snack after my kids go to bed so I save for one. I do IF and eat two meals during the afternoon/evening sometimes a small snack between meals if my first meal was light. At night I usually have anywhere from 100 to 300 calories left for the day and I pick what I want to snack on while I watch something downstairs with my husband.
I know late night snacking is toted as evil in the diet world but if it's planned and not mindless I think there is a difference.0 -

Got thru last night with only 1 small snack ... a couple of lifesavers. Today has been good thus far. Going Up North for an overnight stay at a hotel with small group of friends. Have checked the menu and have preplanned my supper. Also, taking an orange to have as a snack in my room. Plan to drink only bottled water while I'm there which is provided free ... plan to stay away from the free pop and mixed drinks. Breakfast should be ok ... omelette with dry toast. Keeping fingers crossed!! So far this week ... keeping on track!!

Total loss to date 711 -
Hey everyone! My name is Stephanie. I apologize for being so late in joining and missing the first weigh. I was sick last week but I am doing better now. Still recovering a little.
The only upside to being sick is losing some weight, now if I can just keep that weight off once I get fully better that will be good!
A little about me.. I am 32 years old and single, no kids. I work as a bank teller, so a very sedentary job. I enjoy relaxing with my close friends, watching tv shows, playing music/singing and photography. I have been obese for the majority of my life. I feel like a professional yo-yo dieter, lose some weight just to go back to where I started if not heavier.
I'm 5ft7in and my highest weight I recall is around 380 pounds. My starting weight for this challenge is 367.8 and I chose my weigh in days to be Friday. My goal for August is to get under 360 pounds. I want to take it slower this time and hoping to be able to stick with it more.
One of my biggest struggles with weight loss is emotional eating. As an introvert I tend to bottle up my emotions often. Therefore food is a comfort for me. I really do need to fix my relationship with food and I need to learn to let my emotions out more.
I'm excited about this group because I need that accountability! Weight loss is something that is so difficult to do on your own! Now that I'm starting to feel better I am going to try to be more active on here and give support to others! I look forward to this challenge and getting to know everyone!
Feel free to add me as a friend on here!4 -

I do have a snack around 7:30 every night. I don’t think it is even so much the fact I am hungry but it is like my body is on autopilot when this happens. Maybe I will try to push my snack to a little later in the evening maybe 8:30 or 9 pm. It is definitely mindless snacking I am doing bordering on a full out binge. Thank you for the suggestion.2
