It’s Friday! It’s Friday!
Have a fantastic Friday my friends!!3 -
Yayy for Fridays - have a great weekend everyone
How do you ladies find eating at TOM in general? I have to say that's the only days I struggle during each month to stay at TDEE, in reality if I could I would want to eat way over maintenance cals and it takes every ounce of willpower and determination to not reach for whatever and just eat and eat! Thank goodness this feeling only lasts for a few days....
Please share how you manage during that time...
Thanks,
Ruth

Hi Ruth,
TOM is so hard, I usually feel I Need, not want chocolate. I almost obsess over it withholding my cravings until I can’t take anymore and over eat. What’s weird is I can take or leave chocolate at any other time of the month.
I’ve learnt latterly not to suppress these cravings as it only leads to disaster. So I buy chocolate (usually maltesers) and eat half the packet when I feel I need to, that usually fends on the chocolate cravings enough for me not to binge.
The problems really start when I forgot to buy the chocolate ( a little peri-menopausal perhaps).. then the cupboards get raided!1 -
@Fizbopper ooh Maltesers! At least with them you could savour each one slowly and make them last.
Its that feeling of no matter what I eat, I still don't feel full. Our hormones have a lot to answer for LOL
I think I'm a bit peri-menopausal as well as these cravings have worsened in recent months.1 -
Heyy, im trying to find someone that can keep me on track.2

TOM can be hard, I agree. I also make sure to include things I'm craving into my day so that I don't binge. It's when I try to resist that that happens. I had a solid 3-4 days that I had chips and guacamole this week for that very reason! On most days, I was able to stay within my calories. Speaking of...I was totally hesitant to weigh this morning as it is that time. I went back and forth over it for a few minutes before deciding that the weight is just a data point. Nothing to stress over. So I stepped on the scale. To my surprise, I had a loss!5

@MyEvolvingJourney woot on a loss at TOM!! That is something I've never seen at that time so I didn't think it possible but you've shown anything is possible go you!!

Happy Mother’s Day!
Our Mothers day in the UK was back in March, I forget others celebrate theirs a bit later. Hope all you mothers had a lovely day yesterday and got spoiled
Wishing everyone a good week. Commit to moving more if you don't already do that. And if you haven't been tracking your intake as much as you should or could be, make a renewed effort there too - it will pay off in the long run2 -

Thatta gal, more cardio won't sort your core, lifting weights will though we can't spot reduce but every pound we lose will see our belly diminish - its usually the last to go. Your determination will see you through2 -
and this is a great thread, its a long one but the first page has a lot of gems >>

I'm on a roll today with my posts LOL
I just wanted to tell you ladies my latest NSV. Despite being in maintenance for 5 years next month, since then I went on to lose a further 10lbs. In recent months I've been finding my UK size 10's are roomy and bit by bit have been exchanging them (I sell/buy a lot on ebay) for UK Size 8's. I am thrilled to be a size 8. Never in my life have I ever been that size, even as a slim teenager! High five to me4 -

Hello! Welcome to this group I come to a couple times a week for encouragement and motivation. Though I've been a member here for several years, this time it has stuck and I'm approaching my 1 year anniversary on June 11. During that time I seem to be on track for an average of 1 pound per week. I find keeping an honest diary, having a few friends for motivation and to motivate, using a Fitbit which I have synced with this site, and putting my favorite recipes on here so I know what size serving I can have and still lose weight all are working together to make this time a solution I can use for the rest of my life. I have around 67 more pounds to lose to be at the goal I set last June. So I'm still probably a couple years away from beginning maintenance. Join me in working toward a restored health.5 -
Slow and steady absolutely is the way to go!
Love your turtle pic!2 -

Aw the rest of it cut out!

Happy Monday friends! Did you have a good weekend?
Hubby and I celebrated our anniversary on Saturday. 11 years! Then Sunday was Mother's Day. It was a really nice weekend, I enjoyed it, but I'm ready to get back on track!3 -
