    Hi to Dawn B.’s challengers !
    Still here, still with this challenge til October 16th or 26th , whatever end date …
    Today’s RANDOM WEIGH-IN : 213.6
    My goal for end of this challenge : was it 195 ?!
    Am I dreaming in technicolor ?!
    As you can see I’m not too loquacious; keeping my posts here short, sweet, positive.
    I cannot agonize daily over my body weight, fluids , b.m.s and so on.
    I weigh in once a week if it’s positive, twice a week if the first wi was bad.
    Have a lovely weekend, everyone! 🙏 ☀️💦💧🌸🦩

    I snack quite a bit, and it helps me to know that I am not restricted from any foods. I know that as long as I am in a calorie deficit at the end of the day, then it's all good. I usually choose healthy snacks and try to get more protein in that way. I find that if I start eating sugary snacks, then I definitely crave them a lot more, and then I eat more sugary snacks, and then I crave them more...it's a vicious cycle. So if I choose not to eat sugary snacks for just a day and then another, my cravings for those usually subsides a lot.
    I don't tell myself I "can't" have something. I tell myself that I "choose" not to have something, or I "choose" to wait a little bit to see if the feeling subsides. This is really a tough road, and it's about making choices every day, all day. Sometimes we make a wrong choice, but that doesn't have to derail us. As long as we make the next choice a better one, then we'll be okay.

    With that being said, for me, thinking about each thing I put in my mouth as a choice is great and all. But, my husband has a sweet tooth and also snacks late at night a lot. He also likes to go out to eat. All of that is so very hard for me. Sometimes, "choices" are out of the window, and I just feel out of control, as if the food is calling to me. Not everyone understands that because I don't think this happens to everybody. I know that my husband never feels like that.

    My snacks include: mini bell peppers dipped in hummus, apples dipped in Greek vanilla yogurt (sometimes with peanut butter powder mixed in), banana with peanut butter powder (mixed with water), cottage cheese with pineapple, a nice treat of sugar-free lemon jello (dissolved in water) mixed with plain Greek yogurt which makes a flan-like texture, nuts, and Yasso bars (frozen, delicious Greek yogurt bars).

    Lately, we've had a lot of stress in our lives, so I have not been snacking on these things. I've been eating too much sugar! My daughter made banana bread; we've had birthday cake; we've had little bite-size desserts in the freezer that were leftover from a party, etc.

    Enough rambling from me!

    I'm a month late, so this will be a 70 day challenge for me, but I'd like to join. I need some inspiration to stay on track.
    Got up to weigh myself this morning and my scale batteries were dead. Will get batteries tomorrow. I got up this morning feeling really bad, so I made a big pot of chicken broth with tons of onions and garlic in it and drank that all day. I've been having trouble with water retention lately, so trying to correct that

    I'm on the Mediterranean WOE, 1300 calories a day and try to get in 30 minutes of some kind of exercise.

    Welcome @Deb_in_Florida ! Love Mediterranean food and I try often to use it as a guideline in planning. Had to google "WOE" to discover it was Way of Eating LOL
    Good luck and looking forward to seeing you around here.

    Round #20---


    Thoughts at the beginning of this challenge:

    Last round I had my normal goal of a 12 pound loss which is approximately 4 lbs per month. That comes to about 90 days leaving the other 10 open for special holidays and social occasions. In theory, it’s a good plan. In practice it is a Mountain to Crawl, uphill, both ways. However, each 100 day round I am extremely grateful for any progress I CAN make, no matter how big or small. Sadly, I gained a little over 6 pounds last round. I hope to turn all that back around this round. After all, here in Northern Michigan I wait a very long time each year to finally get to good weather and more outside activity. I really want to capitalize on the good weather in the summer months and increase activity and drop pounds. I’m failing miserably with this so far in 2024. Time to maximize the rest of summer and early fall with challenge #20 and make the magic happen! I am so very grateful for all the support from all of you that I get on a daily basis. Working on my health has become my #1 priority. My main goals are to maintain my remission by staying cancer free and to keep my diabetes in control. Losing weight is key to both goals.



    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Day 30-08/17- DNW -(Trend weight DNW ) I forgot my weekly Fosamax yesterday so I took it this morning, therefore, it’s a no-weigh Saturday. Yesterday was not good. I ended up skipping dinner because of too many snacks. Not healthy or right on any level. My stomach just seems to be a bottomless pit right now. I’m hoping for a better day today but already I am staving off hunger. Choices will be key today. Too bad they weren’t key yesterday. I had all my food choices pre-planned and pre-logged but only followed through until lunch. Thanks today for the kind comments and suggestions of late. Also to @Lilylady3k for reposting the Dr Beck list.

    Day 31-08/18- DNW -(Trend weight DNW ) I was awoken by my DGS this morning and didn’t get my weigh-in before my coffee. It’s a joy to have him here but so much more work than I remember. He starts first grade later this week. We practiced more coloring and reading yesterday.
