Chocolate cravings are slightly less thanks to magnesium lotion.
Please tell us about Mangesium lotion. I haven't heard of this. How does it stop the chocolate cravings? Where do you get it? How do you use it? How long have you been trying this and do you feel it's been consistently effective? Thanks for the info.

It’s messing with my head so much I even considered sitting out this round. I’m here though.
Stay with us. We all have our bumps and whooshes. Water retention is so common (even with certain diet meals!) You are keeping it honest with yourself and with us. Just keep logging, trying and realizing we are all human and our bodies run on delays. Together, we can do this!

@deepwoodslady, Dark chocolate is high in magnesium. It is said if you crave chocolate, you need magnesium. I avoid saying everyone, so 99% of people are deficient in magnesium. I use magnesium oil as part of my electrolytes and for sore muscles, achy joints and SLEEP!
Magnesium deficiency covers a variety of ailments.
@MadisonMolly2017, Shrinking is good! Congrats on the loose skinny jeans!5 -

I originally got it because I was having inexplainable leg cramps despite decent potassium levels. I found it at my local health food shop - but you can get it online too. This is the one I have been using, https://www.amazon.com/Life-Flo-Magnesium-Supplement-Zechstein-Relaxation/dp/B00K5QUAIG . I've been using it for about 2 months. It helps me sleep through the night - I was able to stop taking melatonin and actually sleep even better now. I rub my calves, and feet with a dime size amount before bed. I also have been using it as deodorant. Oddly enough it's working better than any antiperspirant or deodorant I've ever used and doesnt have funky stuff in it or any odor at all really. I also use it when I get migraines, massage a small amount on my temples. Period cramps, lower back pain, and general aches and pains it has helped with greatly. It's not as strong as say...lidocaine products but it gives a little tingly feeling that you know it's working and gives some relief. I just noticed that my chocolate cravings have greatly subsided too - I used to crave it in huge amount around TOM, but now it's more subtle. I originally got the lotion because I take so many other pills I didn't feel like adding another - but the lotion turns out to be much more versatile for me.4 -

@tiabirdie56 Thanks Tish!
And congratulations on your big wt loss this week!!!
Also, I eat 1/2 oz 82% dark choc at breakfast & by 4 pm each day with my latte. I originally began this to help my iron... good to know re: magnesium, too.
Feels like a treat, still, and my blood glucose remains very low!
PS I never liked dark choc before, but if you let it melt in your mouth, it’s great- also slows down the eating experience!6 -

@AJB1014, I bought magnesium oil originally to use as a deodorant! Over time (18months) I began using it for other areas of my body. I did not know that there was magnesium lotion. If I had, I would have bought and used it on my Grandson's eczema. I could have made some as a matter of fact. I use and buy all types of oils and butters, but because on initial use it will sting on your skin, I didn't want to cause him more discomfort. It's good to know from others who use it, how it works for them.
@MadisonMolly2017, Thank you! I was really surprised with my weight loss the entire month of July. I always liked dark chocolate, but only up to 70%. Now, I have learned to even enjoy 100% cacao. You only need a very small amount (shavings really) of that to be satisfied. It's very bitter and will surely break anyone of a sugary chocolate habit. I have a couple of bars of 85% chocolate around, but I have no desire for any of it.3 -
In for my third round. Thanks @GrandmaJackie for organizing and bringing everyone together here! The daily check in has been so helpful.
Round 47 - SW 158 EW 152.5 (-5.5 lbs)
Round 48 - SW 152.5 EW 150 (-2.5 lbs)
Round 49 goals: I'm going to stick with 10,000 steps per day and also focus on a small goal related to water consumption. Add 1 glass before I leave the house in the morning and 1 glass before I go to bed.
8/06 - 151. I was inactive and unfocused in my eating yesterday. There was lots of snacking. The first snack was delicious and satisfying. After that, it was just silly. On the bright side, I slept well last night and feel refreshed and on a good path today.

@tiabirdie56 Yes, I am Transitioning to 100% cocoa powder. I mix it in my latte or sprinkle it on some Kashi cereal ... I also use a lot of cinnamon & nutmeg!! As you say, I have no desire for sugary chocolate or desserts, ditto white bread...and never going too long between eating ... and thus, no cravings, which is my primary goal5 -
Round 4- still trying to break the curse of getting down from the 200's - so I'm changing the number - Aim for this round is 198.. fingers and toes are crossed

I loved seeing that number this morning I am pretty sure it will go up and down a little bit, over the course of this round. As long as it stabilizes within the next few days, I will be happy. I am moving towards working out every other day, as I do push myself really hard when I do workout. I am also thinking of starting to focus on toning up and strength training as well. Need to do some research to figure out which workout would be best for me. Need to do better with getting enough sound sleep and drinking enough water.
