Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well.
I needed some inspiration this morning and I am kind of nerdy so I find my inspiration in research that links weightloss to improvements in health. This article is particularly inspirational.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5497590/#R11
To summarize, a lot of benefits start happening at 5% loss. That is 10lbs for a 200lb person. And that works at all BMI so a 400lb person will have solid, measurable health improvements at 20lbs lost. And you will see more and more benefits as you lose more weight. Inflammation improves at 15%
How do you get inspired and motivated when this gets hard?

@trooworld when I'm doing meat only I do have chest days. Usually it's on potblessed meals after church. I can commit to just meat. Do I post the meat I eat?2

This is my first round. Do I need to do anything to stay on the team for september?1

@micaroo4 WOW how exciting for Rich and you! Good luck tomorrow meeting them, I can’t wait to hear about it! Hahaha yes Christmas with a lot of family is a challenge for sure but I bet he’s really excited. Well done on no junk!
@19shmoo69 Sounds like a good reason to go back to carnivore then, good plan! I’ve watched a lot of videos on diets for pain and seems like it’s helped a lot of people.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Beautiful first day!
@maggybd Great article, thanks for sharing! I love seeing before and afters but for me remembering how sick I was prior to losing weight helps me a lot. You don’t need to do anything to stay on the team just continue to post on your weigh-in days.
@trooworld Great first day and I love the half burrito!
Hi friends! Super sleepy but am trying to wait to sleep at bedtime. Usual Saturday here, I lifted weights then went to the farm and separated garlic and bunched some basil then went to the farmer’s market. I went to my neighbor’s for an hour or so and brought her some extra veggies. Yesterday was my 4 year “gotcha” day for my cats, I borrowed a slow feeder from a different neighbor and Jasper loves it so I think that will be his gotcha gift though Asher doesn’t like treats so I need something for him (obviously they have no clue it was a special day!).
Great Day 2 of no junk/gluten

Time to catch up 🥰
We’ve arrived (have I posted this?) back home (well winter home). It was a rough time for my husband. He was miserable the last couple hours. Now we’re just trying to find a comfortable sleeping position here. He’s up and around but just so broken. Now we need to start making appts for check ups here. My heart breaks for him everyday.
For me, I’m feeling happy to be back on track. Now to get workouts started again. Getting steps in, eating properly. Need to work on water. But I’m happy to be going the right direction.
The kids are back in school. My youngest has her first day back at the new branch of her school. Praying she finds good friends this year or we’ll move her back. Thankful for her to be able to attend private school.
I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers and encouraging words this past month. Thanks for the support even though I have been a ghost. I’m hoping to stay caught up now.
@micaroo4 wow the new family members must be so exciting for Rich. I’m excited to read the updates. Also, you’re amazing with your daily steps. I don’t know how you do it. I feel like I’ve walked my legs right off at 15k. 😂
@Katmary71 Happy Gotcha Day for the kitty cats. I truly admire you veg crops. I need to go out and check our plants and see if anything has survived.
@19shmoo69 you’re doing carnivore. What does your main meal look like daily? Snacks?
@trooworld thanks for all the chips recipes. Those will help many of us.
I’ll be back for more catching up later. I need some sleep.2 -

@AmbersWay I don't snack on it. I eat eggs in the morning and ground beef or pork loin for my meals. 4-8 ounces each. To up my fat I eat non melted butter.3

Happy Friday
So August 8th weigh in at 485.7lbs
Today August 25th weigh in a 460.9lbs
Slowly but surely moving in the right direction
Sorry but weighing weekly was stressful so I took control of the situation and found out what works for me and use other measurements to help sty on track such as my breathing and clothes being lose or tight during the weeks I do not get on the scale (also my blood sugar is a key indicator as well)
Great job - but I do not see you on the team lists in Fat2Fit. @broncobuddee or @trooworld please let me know if this is a returning member and if the support or regular team is the best spot depending on frequency of weigh-ins. Thanks!0 -

Hi all-
Just a quick pop in to say that I'm two days junk food free. I'm getting ready to visit my parents- leaving Wed. DD is going with me. It won't be a super fun trip, but it will be nice to see my parents and get caught up. DD and I have figured out how to sneak in some sushi and shopping so those will be the fun parts.
Wishing everyone a good week!

@AmbersWay You’re doing great getting back on track despite the circumstances, way to go! Thank you! Let us know how the garden is going when you get the chance, I hope it hung in there.
@trooworld Thank you! I wanted to go to the movies today too but wasn’t up for a 3 hour movie (want to see Oppenheimer) then didn’t know what else I’d like so I didn’t. I hope you liked the movie.
@Cornanda I hope your trip goes well and you and your daughter manage to fit in some fun. Great job on no junk!
@DebJB30 Yikes I’m glad you’re feeling better now, bet you can’t wait to get moving again! I always find if I can’t do something for awhile I want to do it more, I hope it’s the same for you.
@micaroo4 Awesome job on no pancakes and another no junk day!
@19shmoo69 @DrewsAnna @vegan4lyfe2012 Great job team winners!
Hi friends. Been really worn out today but got in my workout and a trip to Green Acres with a neighbor, we had fun looking at everything and I replaced the spicy oregano plant I killed. I don’t have many gardening friends aside of the farm so it’s fun to have one now. Another no junk or gluten day went well. I’m going to try lowering my sleeping pill dose so I’m not so drowsy, it’s hard to stay awake lately. Have a great Monday team!

@vegan4lyfe2012 @19shmoo69 @DrewsAnna CONGRATULATIONS 🎊
@Katmary71 good for you that you got that workout in. I’m trying to get back into my workouts but time and tiredness isn’t letting me. I haven’t had time to walk the property to check things but hopeful something lives on.
@micaroo4 congrats on a good few days 😊
@Cornanda have fun on your trip. Sushi and shopping sounds great.
Nothing new here. Living minute to minute. I’m ok with that. Doing my best to avoid unnecessary carbs. I had a tortilla and a cereal bar. But held strong otherwise. Got my 10k in yesterday.
Have a great day.2
