    I hope everyone is having a great summer!

    One of my goals for my weight loss was to get under 200 pounds (almost there I swear these last 4 pounds will not go away!) and complete an endurance race on my horse. Well my friend said we are doing it! So this weekend I will complete (hopefully!) my first 25 mile race:) My horse got his new tennis shoes this morning and we leave Friday morning! :)

    I still have a long ways to go to reach my goal, but just having over 40 pounds gone has made me feel so much better! I am excited to start crossing some of things goals off my list:)

    Sorry I haven't been posting I was traveling for the past few days and not thinking much about what went in my mouth. I went west coast to east coast and the 3 hour time difference kills me. I eat dinner at 9:00 pm Eastern time (I usually eat at 6:00 when I'm home). I get up and skip breakfast (it's too darn early to eat according to my inner clock). When I am hungry, I grab whatever's handy. I'm pretty down on myself right now. No one can turn this around but me. I did weigh this morning - 173! Almost back where I started this whole journey. It's so disappointing. I'm gonna keep trying but I'm not helping my team very much.

    @JulieAL1969 I totally understand the interest of the fast/quick weight loss that Keto offers. I tried it and did loose some weight. I don't want to seem like a bad advocate of the diet but here are my takeaways of it. Ps I know it was working well for @stacybaker707.

    Even though all the science behind it made total sense to me too, I didn't see how I could sustain that as a lifestyle. Yes the first weeks of high fat aka bacon n eggs and more avocados that I can have was amazing. I couldn't honestly say that I would NEVER have carbs again( bread, potatoes, fruits) yes there's some bread replacement and all that but most of them are egg n cream cheese based so didn't even come close to the taste I was looking for. And let's be honest when you count macros it is super crazy tracking. All veggies have carbs to so when you try to stay under25 g carbs, there's no room for any "treats". Plus once on the Keto diet you're in it. It takes your body 3-4 days to get into full ketosis (I tested it with pee strips) and unlike other diets where you can "fall off the wagon " without too much damage, it only takes a little off track to kick you out of ketosis and then back to square one. I tried it and gave it an honest shot but after 3.5/4 weeks I had to stop. I had zero energy, all I wanted to do was sleep, I felt overall unhealthy. Up to you if you would like to try. Good resources on YouTube are Dr EricBerg and Thomas DeLauer ( I think that's how it's spelled)



    @aganey you will automatically but rolled into july with the 22 nd weight. I will notify our moderators of the 29th no weigh in. You go and enjoy your vacation. Tips for not overdoing it at meal time : 1- chug 16 oz of water right before sitting down to eat
    2- fill your plate with as much veggies as you can

    Have fun and remember to enjoy the company :)

    @NationalCapital hi there don't feel the need to apologize to the team, instead let us know how to better help you :) keep your head up and smile 😊

    @lar25473 I can see if I can get your weigh in day switched to Tuesday right away hon no prob. Also what works well for me with eating out/treats I ask myself "Do I really need to eat this now?" Just second guessing it makes me say you know what I will have it on Sunday and when that day comes around I ask myself if I still want it. If I do, I eat it guilt free and move on but most of the times I don't even feel like it anymore. Drink plenty of water :)
    You got this!!

    @WA_teacher oh no not the "summer flu" that's the worst. Hope you feel better soon and you can enjoy your summer 😊.

    @wyhorzegal First Thanks for all your help !! Second 40 lbs isn't nothing!! I m sure you feel better ... stay focused and you'll hit your below 200lbs soon. And Third-Omg good luck for the race, enjoy, it must be something else, keep us updated please 😁

    @bisonpitcherc maintain is better than gain my friend. Don't give up 👍🏼

    @Ecowles675 good job :)

    @nebslp you are totally capable of turning it around . Don't give up!! 👍🏼

    @leni1us that must be so hard to have your mesl time changed like that all the time. Try keeping veggies in ziplock bags with you at all times, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, sugar snap peas, mini cucumber, snack on those when you know you will be having a very late dinner that way you don't feel like eating the whole kitchen sink when you sit down to eat.

    Morning, into the 150's - finally. I havent been here in over 10 years! It is a huge relief. 8 more weeks till my nieces wedding which precipitated the start of mfp! I bought a size 8-10 dress when I was a size 16 lol! I decided I was sick of never being able to buy a clothing item that I actually liked! I try it on every couple weeks. I am less like a sausage in it now but still not quite a good fit. Hopefully by August 15 it will be!

    @Djou11 thanks, unfortunately part of it is just the bloat I gained last week but I'm glad to see the numbers
    Finally under 164 again. I've been yo-yoing between 164 and 166.8 this past 6 months.
    But I think I've worked it out now as I've been taking my calcium and iron which I noticed seems to have controlled the cravings I was having during hormone changes.
