    @yooosteph - Hi!! I'm a newbie here, too! I'm currently living in Japan, but I'm from the US (the Northwest, specifically). With winter approaching, I'm guessing you're in the southern hemisphere! Nice to meet you! 😊

    @holdthefries I have definitely been in the clean out, organize, and downsize mode. It is very liberating! Always nice to make some extra money selling things that are no longer useful around here and donating feels good, too.

    @BeastlyMaple I'm glad the depo shot is working for you! It was my mom's BC of choice until she hit menopause and didn't need it anymore. I have a Nexplanon, that's the implant that goes in your arm, and my experience with it has been awesome. Feel free to reach out if you ever decide to look into other BC :) (offer is also open to anyone else who wants to know about the arm implant, of course - the loudest voices online are the ones with horror stories so I try to offset that where I can.) Also great job sticking to your budget and staying honest - both of those things can be really hard, especially when the Jerkbrain starts saying mean things to you. But hey! You did it! You can do hard things. This internet stranger is proud of you. :)

    @speyerj @Spotteddingo @misplacedmama and @donnas1995 Thank you all.

    @BeastlyMaple I am so glad the depo shot is working for you. I could only use it for 3 months and had to stop it (I gained about 30lbs without a change to my diet and exercise level at that time). I currently have the Skyler IUD in and I love it. I am very impressed with your willpower with the treats. I noticed lately that I have bought chocolates/sweet biscuits at the store, but, I still have them in my apartment and it has been weeks. I think it is almost as if my brain was like, I have this on hand if I want it (just to know it is there), but, then it is like, ok, I know you are there, but, I don't want you. Not sure if I just made any sense. My brain works in mysterious ways sometimes!!

    @goal06082021 I have heard a lot of good things about the arm implants. Glad you like it.

    @Laughter_Girl I absolutely love that it is growing as well and that we are comfortable venting and sharing!! Congrats on the NSV!!

    @mechelemc- glad that you joined the group, and yes, it is a journey for the long haul. Regarding fasting, maybe start with shorter fasting times. I find that if I feel 'deprived', it's easy to binge. Take it one day at a time. Set short term goals, too. When I meal plan, I do better. I'm in the 260's, so my 1st goal is to get in the 250's. Also, when I add more 'protein', it helps. Hang in there!!!
