NON WW & WW NEWBIES, OUR NEW LIFE, THE START OF SOMETHING WONDERFUL

cbabie All the little things you are doing like PBfit and Raisin Bran will make a difference. Keep doing them. We don't break bad habits we replace them.

trooworld That phone call is a big weight lifted off your shoulders. Don't you wish it would show up on the scales


OK colonoscopy from hell is done but they want me to repeat it which I'm not. They couldn't get a clean enough right side. Since it's just a baseline and I'm not having any current problems in that area, I'm not redoing it at this time. I do need to eat more fiber so I don't ever have to repeat it.

I'll be glad to get back to exercising normally again. It's been 3 weeks of stitches and treatments.

Trooworld. What a great NSV you had yesterday. For next time how can you make your cod lunch a little more exciting

Cbabie. I hope you found some time to eat and it wasn’t come home at night and eat ice cream type of things. On those days when you are rushed are the days you need to keep protein bars bag of nuts cheese sticks single serving applesauce cups on hand so you can grab and go.

Daily check in. Food. exercise 30 min walk and LS video water 6 glasses.

trooworld Woohoo on your loss Your plan is working.

cbabie Yaaaay for achieving your goals. Let the two hungry teens eat cereal or wait for you to finish your exercise. Plan B is buying them frozen waffles they can pop in the toaster oven. French toast sticks. instant oatmeal packets

WW is going to change their plan again. Its already been rolled out in UK

goodhousekeeping.co.uk/health/weight-loss-and-exercise/weight-watchers-flex-programme

Trooworld. Best way is just to plan ahead and figure out how many cals/carbs you want to eat for the day. I have a higher cal limit anyway for Thursday so it works out well for me. The trick is no seconds.

Daily check in. Over on cals and carbs. Exercise. Day off. 5 glasses water

Trooworld. I suppose hot is better than cold. Have you been exercising?

Cbabie. That’s the hard part. Staying on target. I need to get back to preplanning my meals

Daily check in. Food. Over cals and carbs Exercise. 40 min walk. Water. 3 glasses of water

I stayed the same

Hi all! Sorry it’s been a while. I’ve been traveling all over the place (just got back from the Far East) and not only did I not get rid of the lbs I had gained from my last trip, I packed on a few more. I was really bad on this trip... ate without thinking or tracking, didn’t (have time for) exercise, didn’t ensure I drank 8 glasses of water, didn’t check in with the MFP community and just generally went rogue — even starting back on diet soda that I had sworn off of. And I’m paying for it now. Yesterday my weight was 131.2. My original goal was 125, and I had gotten down to 123.2 prior to all the traveling. So I’ve got my work cut out for me. I’m on solid ground now, without any major trips planned so hoping I can get back on track. Yesterday was my first day of tracking. I was under my calorie goal , got 5 glasses of water in , walked to work , but was too tired/lazy so I skipped the gym . Hoping I can ease my way back into good habits again and shake at least 6 lbs off by the end of the year. It’s so dang hard to stay on track when traveling! At least for me... although I know if I really put my mind to it and tried, I could’ve done better... oh well... weight loss/maintenance is a journey, not a destination. I just had a detour and am getting back on track now!

Hope everyone else is doing great! Have a blessed thanksgiving for those who celebrate!
A

Quick check in. I have company from out of town still. I’ll catch up on personals later. I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.....healthy eating and exercise

Food. Over. Exercise none. Water. 2

Trooworld are you back on track with food and exercise now. I can’t seem to sit through a movie anymore unless I’m at a theater.

Cbabie glad to see you are proceed cautiously with exercise. You dont want to regress

@TrishasTime welcome to the group Wow what a great weight loss. Daily support is so important. How are you faring with the holiday season that is upon us. I’m doing a modified carbohydrate program as I’m prediabetic now and didn’t want to count points and carbs. So now I have a calorie goal and a carb goal. I eat a lot better now than I used to but still a long way to go.

I finally got my bandages off my nose. Now tomorrow we’ll see if I can become a great makeup artist There is a slight indentation I don’t like but it beats cancer right

Daily check in. Food over cals and carb. Exercise. 15 min walk. Water 4 glasses

Trooworld. I laughed at your comment to Trisha. When she asked to join the group I thought oh good Troo will have someone to talk to Yeah on eating good. That’s more than half the battle I think. I’m glad you got back to the garage safely.

Cbabie. Hope you are feeling better soon and get your strength back.

I made some kobacha squash last night in my air fryer. Yummy. It turned out like potato wedges. Still not crispy like I thought but it was my first time using the fryer and I have no idea what I was doing. Lol. 40 cals per c and 9 carbs. A cup of cubed potatoes has 95 cals and 28 carbs I could substitute that in my potato recipes. Then I had fajitas without the tortilla. I cut up some cantaloupe but forgot to put it on the table. Oh well.

Daily check in. Food exercise 20 min treadmill. Water. 3 glasses

Trooworld. That’s so true about me coming on here for you. I sometimes think I don’t want you to be lonely. Your chicken breast and beans sound good. I think I’ll do that for dinner tomorrow Tonight I had cauliflower fried rice and chicken wings

Cbabie. You sound like you are getting better. Slow and steady wins the race. Troo is right. The air fryer takes up so much space. I still need to figure out how to use it more. I think I’ll go look at Instagram. I heard you can cut up corn tortillas into small triangles and put them in there and make tortilla chips I have a can of nacho cheese in there too. I’ll have to portion in out or I could eat the whole thing. Ooh I’m imagining refried beans on it too. I’ll have to figure out all the calories first so I know how much I can have.
