You have everyone on this team rooting for you. It is a hard journey. But worthwhile for sure! I like that you are regrouping and trying to be gentle as you recommit. You can definitely do this!
@lennoncpa I’m so glad your on this team. You are doing great! I eat a lot of raw nuts too but try to limit it to once a day a small amount. I try to bulk up on fruits and vegetables for the most part. I like that you keep analyzing and readjusting. I think Cyndie calls that tenacity.
@lenka1 so sorry u aren’t feeling well. Zinc tablets really help me. And sooooo sorry for your little birdie. Sweet pic.
@Mandi5512 I bought the Versa for my wife for Christmas. She knows she’s getting it. I’m so excited for you. Let us know what you think.
@sleepymom5 so glad u had a good day. You have changed so much. Look at you coasting successfully through the holidays! Very proud of you.

Day 6 on my string
Wow! A pound down! And I have been drinking and eating out. Usually my weight jumps up with alcohol and the sodium from eating out. I am very happy. I am going to go shopping today while we are here and my husband is working. Afterwards we are meeting friends for dinner and heading home. I am going to do a walking video before I head out to shop
because the weather is miserable. I did stick to my pledge yesterday except I didn't get out fast enough to bike or walk on the beach. Otherwise I did great. Last night at dinner I stuck to my plan and ordered chicken since I had a big dinner the night before. It was the most unappealing dinner Lol! But I ordered a side of brussel sprouts and they were really good. I was hoping no one would want to share and I am happy they didn't lol! I did get a small dessert, you could get a normal size or a little more than a bite sized so I was happy with that.
I hope everyone has a great day!
@lenka1 oh no! Poor little thing. She is beautiful. I wish there was something that could be done for her pain but I am sure all the TLC you are giving her is helping her. Which by the way sounds like you could use a little TLC yourself. Hope you feel better soon! Hugs!
@mandi5512 Another great day! I have had a Fitbit for years! I find it very motivating. I don’t know after all these years how to add friends but lmk and I will send you my info.
@amsandos I noticed that you hadn’t been checking in so I was going over to your page to send you a little note and I noticed we weren’t friends so that’s what prompted the friend request. First thing, don’t beat yourself up. Believe me, I have had many of those times in my past. The important thing is to just get yourself back on track. Whatever you gained,just don’t stress and recommit to what you need to do. Even if you want to just maintain and not lose during the holidays. Make a plan. It took me YEARS to get that through my thick skull! I maybe should say decades. It makes things easier because you are not making choices under pressure or when you’re hungry. Sometimes the plan is to indulge but at a set limit. This isn’t a short term thing, this is going to be for your life. I know you can do it. Give yourself credit for putting a stop to it now and not just saying you’ll be back in Jan. Hang in there! Hugs!
@Mrsbell8well I am pretty excited, I would never think I could enjoy the holidays AND still be on track. I really feel different this time. Good luck at your meeting!! Hugs!
@lennoncpa. I think maintaining is great! Especially this time of year.
@cyndiesstuff I am glad you have a long weekend. You need to get a break from that place! Lol! I hope you are having a little relief at least from your pain. We went out last night with friends and a new couple we didn’t know. We were supposed to have dinner and go on this little trolley ride to see the lights in this quaint little town (Cape May). The one lady had taken pain meds before she came and although she knew they make her sick, the pain was so bad she had to take them. I felt so bad for her. She ended up just going to the car to lie down. She was the one who made the plans too. I kept thinking of you. This poor lady is in a similar situation. She started with a new doctor so they are hoping maybe there is something that can be done. Btw, we ate quick so they could head home, we didn’t leave her in the car while we had fun!
@carlsoda I will be 53 in January and I feel like I am finally starting to figure it out. I can relate to your cookie story. I feel the same way. Let’s have a great holiday season AND keep it healthy this year! Xo
@eyesopennow It’s going in the right direction! This is a tough month. You’re doing great!
@mandi5512 You are doing good! Hang in there. I think it is a harder with little ones in the house. I don’t have it in the house yet so it is going to be harder once Christmas hits.2 -
Hi all, looks like I'm going to be on the cheering squad for a while. I just found out that I'm pregnant!! I hope you all enjoy your holidays and plan to see you at the end of next summer!9

@code4food Congratulations!! I am so excited for you!3

As we are getting closer to Christmas, it is getting harder. Just remember this....
Or continued, or didn't stop....I promise it will be worth the effort!7 -
@lenka1 awwww hugs to your birdie!! poor thing!!!
sleepymom5 wrote: »@DananaNanas Thank you for stepping up to the step challenge. (Lol! See what I did there?) You have had a tough year but look at all you have accomplished. Even though you feel like you aren’t where you would like to be, think of where you would be if you DIDN’T do those things. Hang in there and keep doing what you’re doing. I know with my daughter it can be a while to find the right medication and dosage and the right therapist. Don’t give up on yourself. You are worth the effort. This is totally a guess but I think that most people don’t your struggles. You seem like you are probably the funny, entertaining person of the group. That is also a lot to live up to. Like I said, totally a guess but just from some of the things you have written in the past, I get that vibe. And never feel bad about coming in here and venting. Weight has so many factors to it. All these stresses or celebrations are part of our issues. This is also a safe place that you don’t really have to worry about being judged. Hugs!
You are so right. In fact, you've gleaned that just from my few and far between posts here and pretty much hit the nail on the head. My therapist tells me all the time... I have years and years of practice pretending everything is completely fine. I'm completely fine. So it's really hard for me to even tell my closest friends and husband how I feel.
I ended up talking to my mother-in-law about my stomach issues in a roundabout sort of way I don't feel like getting into. But anyway, I ranted to her about the gastroenterologist diagnosing me with "stress." And she was shocked. Like a. get a second opinion and b. are you that stressed? You don't come off like that type of person. I was like yeah... I am lol. But I'm really good at hiding it. I know it's not funny but what can you say for yourself when you're stuck in your ways? At this point I feel like it's a part of my personality.
I had to go to the grocery store last night for a couple of things and I was feeling bad all day. I barely made it out to my car before I just started crying for some reason. I sat in my car doing this for like 5 minutes before I pulled it together enough to go home. When I looked up I saw a car had pulled in next to me and some lady was sitting there and I'm pretty sure she looked over at me. Probably like wth is wrong with this girl?! Ugh. I need a break -_-

Thanks everyone! The bird seems better today
still limping but more herself.
I didn’t sleep much last night. I had fever til about 2 am and then after 5 am I finally made myself get up and get ibuprofen. I was aching (hips and joints) for hours in bed trying to fall asleep before I took some pills. Dummy me. Of course my daughter woke up after 8 so I’m running on 3h of sleep:/
But I actually feel better, just tired and congested. My workouts abs steps will be weak this week
But I made it to 140s lol 😂 I weighted myself. I was 3 pounds down from Saturday, however I’d say at least half of it is due to being sick.
Weekend is almost here!
@Mrsbell8well good luck with your meeting!
@amsandos hugs! It’s so tough... just look at long term goals. You came so far and one bad day won’t ruin your efforts. You can do this. It’s okay to let go and have some stuff to satisfy your taste buds. But don’t let that throw you off.
The key is get back to good eating and habits on the next day.
@sleepymom5 your beach house decor is great! We go to jersey shore too - twice in summer. It’s fun my husband has been going to the same place with his whole family for past 30ish years so it’s like a tradition we can’t break 3 -

I've been just enjoying myself this week. Trying to get out the house and have fun. I be keeping track of everything. Therapy session i opened up about more then what i thought. But i found part of the reason why I've been irritated these days. So that's good. I officially hit 40 lbs gone this past Monday which I'm proud of. So from the end of August i staryed out at 272. Now I'm at 232. I'm very happy about that but that means i gotta work even harder ! I'm excited about that. Thats basically it for me. Hope everyone has a great weekend7 -
Wow I would love to comment on everyone. But I just want to say @Lyssysho26 that is fantastic! I am almost at that 40 pound marker too. Great job. I love hearing that you are doing well.
Well all...I had my meeting this morning. It was extremely promising. I am pretty excited about what may transpire in the New Year. I will keep you all posted but it went even better than I could have hoped.6 -
@lenka1 @sleepymom5 @Mandi5512 @cyndiesstuff @Mrsbell8well .Thank you so much really humbled and encouraged by everyone's comments. If anyone wants me to add as a friend I would be happy to connect. Only have 2 friends so far. We can keep an eye out for each other.

Daily check in for: Thursday
Logged: Nope
Water: not enough
Exercise & Steps: 6.5 mile hike; 18,901 steps
Yesterday started out pretty well. Had a great hike with my new neighbor and two of her dogs. I think we might be very compatible hikers. When I got back home hubby needed my help on a project outside. By the time we finished for the day I was cold, exhausted and hungry. Not a good combo... cooked a carb-loaded dinner and ended up doing a nose dive into the fudge my neighbor had brought over. Stopped myself after 3 pieces. Oh well... today's a new day. Tonight is a Winter Solstice party at another neighbor's house. They're a rather "eccentric" couple LOL. Last time we visited she brought out some homemade plum wine; I think I had a hangover for three days! Tonight I'm bringing wine and sparkling water to drink. Will do what I did for the last party also which is have a snack beforehand.
Way behind on posts... will try to catch up. Take care everyone.4 -

My pain has been bad and I feel like I am on a downward spiral. After the holidays I believe i will go back to counseling. It is really hard to deal with the bleak outlook of being in pain forever.
@carlsoda i have said that all along. work 2 days and have 5 off and get paid the same. ohhh wouldn't it be glorious....
@eyesopennow you are doing fine. if we maintain thru the holidays it is a win! lets just get thru this next week and then hit it hard. you got this buddy.
@Mandi5512 your doing fine. look at all you have learned so far about what your body needs. it's not just about the scale. its more about the change in your state of mind. keep it up!
@sleepymom5 yessss! you lost a pound the week before christmas. doing the happy dance! i love the new you, keep it up girl!!
@code4food. ohh what a christmas blessing. i am soo happy for you and your family. what a beautiful present.
@lenka1 I hated when my children were little and the sickness ran thru the house. you hang in there and get some rest. and feed you body some nutritious food it needs it right now.
@Lyssysho26 I am so glad you got the help you needed. Sometimes we can't do it on our own. be proud you recognized it and are putting in the work you need to be healthy both physically and mentally.
@Mrsbell8well wooo whoo. i am glad things are going well for you. you must have just wowed scot with your confidence and beautiful smile! you keep that up. the new you is amazing. and that looks like an amazing snack. I would truly dive right into that!
@nstephenson01 sometimes i think the eccentric friends are more fun. i am amazed at the way they think. you know nancy, we have been at this a long time. you have been working sooooo hard. lets just get thru the holidays and then regroup, reflect and recommit. at least we will have till easter to concentrate on our ultimate goal.
@DananaNanas we will take that as a maintain. hang in there chickie!

Day 7 on my string
Ended up staying in AC overnight. We met friends for dinner and my son and girlfriend surprised us and joined us for the evening. Probably for a free dinner but I am going to pretend otherwise Lol! Stayed within my calorie goal but need to work on getting a back bone. I agree to things too easily. I tried something new(that was not what I planned) and it was delicious but I am sure not the healthiest. I ate 1/2 and gave the rest to my brother in law. I am going to be proud that I ate only half because it was something I wanted to finish it was so good. I was full and knew I would be uncomfortably full in a little bit so I stopped. Big NSV for me! Lol! Btw-we aren't big gamblers, our town sorta shuts down for the winter and it is a good meeting place for his brother who lives near there. Today is funny, I actually want to have a light eating day...That is not the usual me! Lol! I have nothing ahead before Christmas eve so I should have a good weekend. Hope everyone has a nice weekend!
@dananaNanas It is terrible that insurance treats mental health is terribly. I wish you could see someone now. I hope you are hanging in there and at least confiding in your husband. I wish I could be more help. Hugs. Nice weigh in. Basically maintaining That is good especially this time of year!
@lenka1 Hope you are feeling better
@lyssysho26 sounds like you are doing great! Congrats on that big loss from August! That is amazing!
@mrsbell8well. Glad the meeting went well. Your snack looks yummy! Love how you plated it. Looks like you were at a restaurant
@amsandos. Looks like you had a great day!
@nstephenson- it is nice that your neighbors have those get together since you probably wouldn’t see them too often. otherwise. It’s pretty cool you may have a new hiking friend too! Good restraint on the fudge. 3 isn’t too bad. Sounds like you have a good plan for the party. Btw, I had a similar experience with home made wine lol!
@cyndiesstuff I wish there was something you could do to get some relief. Hugs.
@phoebe112476. Look at that progress!! Is that an app or a scale?

congrats Kirsten!!! @kirsten11872 great job getting back on track. Sure isn't easy when you start sliding.
@cyndiesstuff there is a time for everything. So sorry about your pain. Hoping your healing time is quickly approaching.
@sleepymom5 great job showing that scale who's boss! Love the pink fluffy scale. I want one.

@code4food Congrats on baby news! very exciting. And we would love to have the extra support on the cheerleading squad!1

@sleepymom5 great NSV. You are acting like a "normal thin" person. That's what they do. They end up getting full and stop eating....what a crazy concept when there is still delicious food on your plate. I went home last night wanting some raw macadamia nuts. I served myself about 1/4 cup. I ate 1/2 of them and put the rest in a snack baggie. In the past I too would have eaten what ever was in front of me. I too am trying hard to listen to my body what it needs, how much and when. It feels very comforting to be so self-nurturing.3
