I have to say that the foodplan, I got from my dietician (which is completely based on the things that I normally eat/like, just smaller portions) is really helping a lot. I'm now eating 6x a day instead of 3x and although the portions are smaller, I've not felt hungry at all.

I use MFP for reminders, so that I don't forget to eat. This can sometimes be a problem because I work from home and when I get working on something, I forget about everything else. The downside is that when I do eat, I eat way too much, so the reminders worked really well for me.

My calories were okay for this past week, my carbs though are higher than 100, and I was particularly sedentary.
But a pound down is a pound in the right direction!!

Have a good day all!

I should be absolutely elated that I weigh the same this week as I did last week. I am glad I didn't gain, but my plan right now is to LOSE weight, not maintain!

I have basically been maintaining within about 5 pounds for the past 6 weeks. I guess when I finally reach my goal weight, I can feel confident that I know how to maintain!

I have no one to blame but myself. I need to get with it! Give myself a swift kick in the @$$!

@birgitkwood - With the meal prep, I think half my problem is tried and true recipes. Like you, I do a lot of the same meals because, yeah, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" right? If it works, keep doing it! Well, now I find myself bored and in need of change.

Having said that, Anyone have any good meal prep recipes to share??

@stephckc - I know what you mean, I hit ONEderland about 10 years ago and swore I'd NEVER leave it! PFFT! One broken leg, 10 years, 90 pounds later and here I am now about 35 pounds down but struggling to stay below 250! Keep your head up and know that you are not alone! We all backslide, some of us farther than others. We just have to get up, brush ourselves off and get back on that wagon! We can't do anything about the past, what's done is done. But we sure as hell can do something about the future!

@lydiapassthedonuts - I am the same way! I do GREAT during the week when I am at work and just terrible on the weekends when at home. It is actually my maintenance plan! LOL Eat healthy and with a calorie deficit during the week and eat freely on the weekends.

Until next time; wishing everyone Peace , Love and Weight Loss !!

@RobinB0812 I attempt to meal prep. I try to have washed lettuce ready to eat, a week's worth of chicken, and frozen bags of veggies and grains. You can do so many different things with chicken you can have something different every night. Last week I used some of my chicken and made chicken noodle soup.

This week, I bought some butternut squash and will make soup with it. I'm going to make a pepper and corn casserole (using some of my prepped chicken) and eat a weighed portion of it for a few of my dinners.

Now I'm excited about tonight's dinner!

OMG i guess my body really wanted that chinese! Cause i had a whoosh in weight loss.

I am looking forward to my day off on sunday. If my parents dont need help finishing their house move....i plan to get caught up with life. Working 7 days a week has been a killer and a lot gets neglected. Some of my dishes havent been washed since july. Nor has the vacuuming or bathroom cleaning been done. Sigh!

Wish there was more time each day. But thankful i have been able to devote my evenings to my dogs and exercising with them. Got home last night finally by 10pm so decided to just go to bed without dinner. So sunday i need to work on meal prep too, so i have quick meals at the ready!

happygirlxxx · September 2017

Good Morning y'all!!

First of all, thank you so much for your warm words about my results; really appreciate it!!

Amazing week everyone, i have seen some nice losses this week; everyone is into gear getting ready for the holidays!!! Well done!!

I was quite happy when I weighted myself today; I don't think I have loss 2lbs in a week in since forever! Now need to continue focusing on what I eat and with my workout ... and of course drinking water that I suck at

@RobinB0812 Congrats on your 28th cancer free anniversary!! Gives me hope that everything will be OK with me.

I don't meal prep too often because my husband doesn't like reheated food - isn't that annoying?

(actually we don't even have a microwave here because we would never use it); but what I have been doing lately is to have some stuff in the fridge that is easy / fast to get ready for my lunches: (I think I shared a photo a couple weeks back)

a. zoodles (zucchini noodles) and then you pair it with whatever sauce you like (can be store bought) - to warm up the zoodles takes less than 5 minutes, just sauteed in olive oil and add sauce and it delish and healthy!

b. cabbage - cut it really thin and then also sauteed and mix with other veggies (carrots, mushrooms, onion, etc) and with some meat (to make it quick I just cut a wiener or deli turkey); you can add a sauce if you like or not. Or you can make it a tex-mex version with ground beef, spices, salsa, sour cream, etc

c. Squash - cook it and then put it in the blender with soft onions (which I cook with hardly any oil and water); then pepper, salt and if you like it spicy some tabasco ... and voila you got soup.

d. bags of shredded lettuce or whatever green you like , diced ham / turkey or tuna; shredded cheese; cherry tomatoes, carrots, etc + yogurt dressing (there was one that I used to buy there that is a bit pricey but was flavorful .. could it be bolton the brand bolthouse (cant remember)? you find it where the salads are because needs to be refrigerated - I loved the salsa one).

e. veggie lasagna; divide in 6 or 8 portions. Just cut the zucchini or eggplant in layers, put sauce and cheese in between and then bake. To make it easier, you can add layers of ham instead of meat so you don't have to worry about cooking the ground beef / turkey.

f. smoked salmon tartare - just diced the salmon and make a marinate of olive oil, mustard, salt, pepper - let stand for at least an hour before eating ... the longer the better, so the next day is really nice. goes really well with avocado.

And that is all I can think of

@tishbiv @Stephckc welcome to the group!! we are here is you need support!!

@karenleona hope you are feeling better! Having to pick up after everyone, work and on top of that not feeling 100% must be overwhelming a bit; take care!

@GOINSTD12 I am glad it was just a scare and nothing major; take it easy and rest!

@BarneyRubbleMD I had no idea until I saw your comment that when I started this process I was at the morbidly obese category!!! OMG!! I am so glad I decided to do something ... I always knew I was overweight, but not that I was there already

Thursday Truth!!

Not much to comment here in regards to my weight loss journey.

On my personal life though ... just really annoyed with the contractors who are supposed to finish my apartment ... until I placed a formal complaint they always had an excuse not to finish and suddenly with no notice they showed up to work yesterday so was stuck in here all day; they got here at 8am and left pass 6pm.

After they left I took an hour long walk to get some fresh air because I was pissed ... the night was beautiful, so it was relaxing. I took a picture of the Arco Della Pace, which I love for some unexplained reason

Only a smidgen lost this week. Quite disappointed as I'm spending 5-6 hours a day decorating, have been since Monday. I thought all the climbing step ladders and waving my painting arm around would count for something! Mind you, I am tending to treat myself I guess "to keep up my energy". Bad Birdygirl!

Plus point is that the weight I have lost since February has made using the ladders so much easier now I don't have knee and ankle pain. I used to only do the bare minimum of work on the ladders as it was so uncomfortable and I felt unsafe. But this time I am able to do a much neater job of the high work, so I'm trying to be thorough. It might be years before I tackle it again, and I might be too old by then anyway

Another week of this round of painting, and considering doing my small kitchen before Christmas too. (I must be unwell, this is very unlike me

)

I need to make time to catch up on all the posts, hope everyone is doing OK. I'm hardly online at the moment, MFP keeps nagging me to enter my food intake, and I usually just manage to do that each night. See you next week!

tdunnegan · September 2017

Hey all. I am going to weigh myself tomorrow. Scale is at gym, not at home so I don't always get there
My usual weigh ins are Saturday

Truth Thursday-- ice cream twice. General tsaos chicken -- with broccoli(as if that helps

bapcarrier · September 2017

@cedar2526 Thanks, no problem. Congrats BTW.

@tdunnegan if you want to start using your Saturday weigh in weight for the challenges that's fine. Usually we say you can weigh any day between Thursday and the following Wednesday for the weekly report. I've been accepting some later ones because it didn't matter to me. But, it's fine to have your weigh in day be any day as long as it's a consistant day each week. That way if you want to you can post this Saturdays weight, it will count for the weigh in on Oct. 4th. As for this week you can post tomorrow for this week but that will only leave you a day in between. I'm going to be a little late with the report this week (see below) so I can include your Friday weight this time.

If anyone else wants to post challenge results go for it. I won't be compiling the report this week until Saturday AM. I have a busy evening planned tonight and I have to leave my house tomorrow early and I won't be home until 11 - 11:30 pm. I promise to have it done earlier next week!

@Birdygirl15 Congrats on being able to climb easier. I wouldn't be surprised to see more of those pounds come off over the next few days!

@GOINSTD12 glad all is well. Take care of yourself!

@happygirlxxx love the picture!

@BarneyRubbleMD Your post made me realize I hadn't checked my BMI etc. in a long time, I was please to see I am also no longer in the morbidly obese category! YEA!!! Now to get out the obese category and down to just the overweight one! It will take a while but it will be so worth it.

@karenleona and @cellosmiles and anyone else working long shifts and/or 7 days a week. I give you a lot of credit, I don't know how you manage to do and continue on this journey we are all on. You are amazing!!

Nikion901 · September 2017

Thursday Truth … I should be out in the kitchen, cleaning up the mess I made cooking … I tend to be a messy cook; using too many pots and pans, utensils and dishes. The “stitch in time saves nine’ habit got up and went from me. I’m writing on MFP cause that’s one habit I’ve built up that leaves me feeling incomplete if i don’t do it.

Speaking of habits, I had an email from James Clear, a motivational writer, about habits today that applies to any habit we want to make. According to James there are strategies we can use to guide is in building a new habit. I’m just going to share the bullet points because i think we can all understand what the deeper meaning is … but if you are unclear you can find the article (and many, many more) at his website ... JamesClear.com

Here are the highlights:
1 … start with an incredibly small habit
2 … increase your habit in very small ways
3 … as you build up, break habits into chunks
4 … when you slip, get back on track quickly
5 … be patient - stick to a pace you can sustain

I especially can relate to the last sentences written … “New habits should feel easy, especially in the beginning. If you stay consistent and continue increasing your habit it will get hard enough, fast enough. It always does.”

This article prompted me to think about the habits I've made, and those I've abandoned, in my long, long, tortuous weight loss journey (I'm still in the morbidly obese category after several years of 'working on it') ...

Habits broken ... Eating anytime and every time I feel some hunger. Eating a lot of restaurant prepared food. Eating past the point of being full cause it's a holiday, a smorgasbord, I'm bored/upset/happy/sad/angry/lonely. Eating in the car. Overbuying groceries because it's on sale. Eating in bed. Buying candy/ice cream/cookies/snack chips-pretzels in anything but 1 single-serve at a time. Baking. Getting 'worked up' over things I have no control over (Truth here ... this one occasionally is retrograde but I am much better at it).

Habits made ... Log every meal, every day, every thing I eat/drink that has calories. Weigh/measure my food (so I can log it accurately) Sleep in bed, not on the couch. Prepare up to 100% of my meals from scratch the majority of the time (except bread, cause I don't bake) ... Truth here ... I did have restaurant food over a month ago almost every day for a week and gained big time that week. Eat a similar volume/density of food from meal to meal. Rarely eat more than 1 snack a day. Stop eating by 8PM. Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of pure, clear water a day.

Habits I need to develop ... Perform housework activities every day. Walk more/sit less. Get outside into the fresh air every day.
Niki

happygirlxxx · September 2017

Finally the weekend is arriving! Yay!!

Well, actually I don't know what I complaint about if I don't work ... however, when I used to work full time I wondered what do all my friends that stay home do all day ... well now time passes by quickly and somehow you are always busy with something ... its weird

. Also, I have been by myself because my husband has been at Vatican city for the last couple days and will be back this afternoon; will be nice to chat about all the amazing stuff he was able to see ... he was there for work, but he got an amazing exclusive tour ... he said he thought he was like in the Da Vinci Code

@Nikion901 I liked what you shared about habits. I agree that to succeed we need to start with something simple, small and built up from there .. changing all at once is recipe for disaster because we don't give ourselves time to adapt and learn. And also, I think its great that you are so aware of what you have been able to change, but as well of what is still work in progress; it is healthy to recognize our wins, to empower us to continue. Thank you for the reminder!

@bapcarrier I am glad you liked the pic. I

love taking photos; I used to carry my camera everywhere, but now I tend to just use my mobile. I am thinking I need to get myself a comfy camera bag and go around the city .. Milan is such a beautiful place to walk. I promise to share some more.

BTW - I am sharing my weight on Thursday morning because that is when I weighted the 1st time, so just to continue with the same day; I think it doesn't really affect you because is almost your Wednesday due to the time difference.

Friday Fitness!

This week I managed to workout several days so I am quite happy

I have been doing a mix of cardio and simple pilates exercises and that has worked quite well for me, so I guess I will continue with the same this coming week; below a summary of what I did:

Friday: Rowing (30min) + Cycling (30min) + Pilates (30min)
Saturday: Rest
Sunday: Rowing (30min) + Cycling (60min) + Pilates (30min)
Monday: Rest
Tuesday: Rowing (30min) + Cycling (30min) + Pilates (45min)
Wednesday: Brisk Walking (60min)
Thursday: Cycling (60min) + Pilates (30min)

Not that bad, right? I am amazed how much more fit I am and the fact that I can cycle for an hour no problem!! The only reason why I stop is because I start getting pain on my toes if not I would continue for a bit longer

And pilates exercises are great; I do them at home ... just need a mat and basically the weight of your body will help you out. There are several videos online if anyone is interested in trying ... I just do the basics, nothing crazy, but I think it is helping out.

OK, long enough post

oopsss!! Have a great Friday everyone!!

b_lisieux · September 2017

@Nikion901 Love the article on habits. Thanks for sharing. Only down 1 this week. I was a bit disappointed since I gained 2 last week and I have totally stuck to my calories. I guess I expected to lose the 2 I had gained. I understood about last week with all that I had going on socially. Oh well, better than a gain. I've been faithful with my journal and will continue to do that. Love reading everyone's posts and the motivation. I am envious of all the exercise I see. I need to find some kind that I can do sitting down. My knees are so painful from arthritis, I'm lucky I get around the house to do what I need to do. Have a great weekend everyone!

cellosmiles · September 2017

I am going to post thursday truth here now.

I worked from 8am to 1130pm yesterday so didnt get the chance...

I basically ate whatever i felt like the last 3 days. Its been real bad, cant get the thoughts of getting talked to at work off my head and been stress eating to cope. And then yesterday a few good mystery shops popped up all of a sudden so i was out all evening completing them for some easy money....

I need to get my slump turned around quick! I just had a 3lb loss. I dont want a 3 lb gain by next week!

I will need to develop better plans for when 'life' gets in the way. I will learn to cope better!

Thanks @happygirlxxx and @b_lisieux for commenting on my habits post. You, Ana, are an inspiration to me with your exercise routines! You've given me an idea with the camera ... maybe if I bring my camera with me outside onto the city sidewalks I'll find some inspiration to keep walking by finding interesting buildings or landmarks to photograph. I could start a photo album of them.

Friday Fitness ... An awareness Friday morning at my house as I poured over updating my stats worksheet. And now I really must push myself off this chair and get the active day rolling! Today's fitness goal is to work on my habits minutely. There is much, much to do so it's hard to keep it in the frame that to build on my habits I need to start with step 1.

Friday fitness - it's been brutally hot w high humidity here and I avoided exercising. Heat as excuse....

I did spend several days in Maine and did some walking but more for utility than exercise.

Finally got out this morning and am recommitted!

@Nikion901 you should! I love architecture photos ... that is basically what I tend to do most of the time . It would be fun + a good workout!

Niki, Bapcarrier, Lydiapass and anyone else who lost weight this week -- in addition to my awesome check, congratulations!!

Friday Fitness:
Went to gym to weigh myself. Not good. And not surprised. I have to work a 10 hour shift today. I recently found a new chiropractor and he's got me going 3x a week. This keeps me away from the gym because I go after work ... So I'm really struggling. I am very suspicious of chiros who do the 3x a week thing. But 5 years ago I had 1 herniated disc in my lower back and now I have three. I had seen another guy and apparently what was done didn't work. I feel like I'm really stuck between a rock and a hard spot. I've also got some pretty stressful issues I have to manage on the home front which is not helping with emotional eating. It's all about self discipline, I realize. So, next up, my Wednesday weigh in post... two days late.
