I hesitate to post because I have enough going on without the negative comments on my post. Hopefully I won't have that here though 😊 I recently posted looking for car snack ideas because I eat at 6:30 a.m. I leave my house at 7:15 a.m. I get to work by 8:30, after dropping the kids and everyone off at school and such, then make a 2-hour round trip drive from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to our warehouse. I get off between 1:30 and 2 and sometimes don't get to eat lunch until 2:30 or 3:30. During my trip to the warehouse I would usually grab a bag of chips or some other kind of junk food. I'm looking for healthier options. I don't eat out of boredom or habit, like some suggest rudely ("it's only a two-hour Drive why do you need to eat?"). I eat because I'm hungry and can't eat a full meal while driving my truck during my trip to the warehouse. I will usually grab a bag of chips or some other kind of junk food. I want easy and healthier options. I don't eat out of boredom or habit. I eat because I'm hungry and don't want to eat a full meal in my truck.

I have to leave my house at 11 for a noon shift, 11am is to early for lunch but I don't get home until almost 7pm and I do get hungry. I started making a sandwich on a "thin" or Stop and Shop brand low calorie rye bread. It's easy to weigh the meat before I leave. In a pinch I go to "Subway" and get a 6" with ham, veggies and mustard, no cheese. I do carry 100 calorie granola bars in my bag for an emergency snack attack

What is your Non Scale Victiory today?
Mine is walking 10k steps and logging my food yesterday. The scale was the same thus morning.... but I’m feeling fine!

Happy Friday!

When I started my weight loss journey again this year, I DREADED the idea of getting into my jeans... I had two pair that "fit" very tight, and both were shredded in the inner thigh area. The past couple of weeks I noticed that I can now COMFORTABLY wear my newer jeans that had been hiding in the drawer under my old shredded jeans... They are the same size, but not thin and stretched out. I am excited about my NSV!!

I am also a bit nervous. I weighed in this week at 201... SO CLOSE to Onederland. I've been here before, during past attempts to lose weight. Then I quit/crashed/lost motivation - whatever!! This time I still feel strong. It is OK go enter Onderland, I keep telling myself. It is a safe place. I can go there this week or next. The last time I was there was in 2013, and only for a few days. I can break this mental barrier and keep going. Please wish me luck, because for some irrational reason, I find it frightening.

Good luck to all in the 200’s Club! Thank you for sharing your inspiring stories, struggles, and support!

I was almost in the '300s club', but I promised myself to never get there. I've blown out several pairs of jeans and shirts...Giving in was not an option.

Taking stock of the next five months.
Steady as she goes.
Just give me five or ten pounds a month.
Heading in the right direction.
Let me hear from you all.
Best-

The best day all week. Giving up sugar for Lent, I want to see a LOSS this month.

Trying very hard to get out of the 200s. So far this year I've gone from 220 to 200, but these past few days I've gotten back up to 202. Feel free to add me as a friend!

Hello! I am a newbie as this is my second day. I was at my highest weight in 2017 at 253. It took me 1.5 years to get to 217, it took me three months to get to 239! I am not going to let that scale get any higher!!

I am a snacker, not because I'm hungry but because it's there. I have been letting some illness take over and keeping me in a shell. That shell just got cracked and I am on my way to getting back to a healthy weight and a lower BMI!

I am visually impaired and that's okay because I will run into you but because I'm squishy you won't bruise LOL. It may limit some of my activities but it's not going to stop me! I also deal with vertigo issues ( no, I really haven't been drinking today LOL) and yet again I'm not going to let it stop me!

I know this is going to be a long journey and with everyone's help we can all do it together!

Hi! I just discovered this group, but I've been tracking my food and exercise in MFP for about a month. I've been over 200 lbs. since 1993. My heaviest I was 274 in 2004. I got down to 245 right after I adopted my daughter and managed to get to 227 in 2013. I stayed there until last year. I'm a stress eater and my favorite food of choice is chocolate...lots of it!!! It's been a very difficult year in our family. So one month ago, the warning about type 2 diabetes became a reality. I realized I had to get my act together.

I have to set small goals in increments. Anything huge is overwhelming, so I'm using 10% as a guideline. Needless to say, I have to watch my carbs and stay as low in fat as possible. The diary has allowed me to set clear limits, and I don't have to remember how many carbs I had at breakfast because it's right here! I joined a gym for the first time. It's been a great experience so far.

Hello 🥰
Thank you for your post. I have had a problem with weight gain for the last five years. I suddenly jumped up to about 210 lbs and then stayed there for a while til I really quickly blew up to 275.
I lost a bit of weight last year, maybe 20 lbs, but over Christmas and new year ballooned out to 267lbs again.
I’ve decided I’ve had enough though and I really want to get my life together. I’ve managed to drop down to around 225 lbs now since January 8th.
So far, I’ve lost around 40 lbs since I made that decision in January.
I’m not stopping. I have depression and anxiety and I know being overweight has dramatically affected my life and also my happiness.
I’m really happy I’ve managed to lose weight but it’s a long road ahead. I’ll keep going though, I know it’s essential for my future happiness and quality of life to get my health together!
The next goal for me is to get under 100kg (220lbs) , then under 200 lbs (around 90kg).
I know what it’s like to be fit and healthy and trust me life is a lot easier. It’s obviously not the solution to everything, and existing emotional problems don’t just go away, but certain things do get more simple.
If anyone would like a weight loss buddy or someone to talk to I’m here.

Love,

Valentina

We’re all here for you Valentina! 🥰
I just finished my pajama walk with my dog, Roxie. Together we greeted the sunrise!

So I have already typed this out 2 times so I'm no longer going to go into as much detail.

So the summary of it is that when I was about 20 to 23 I got really bad allergies and asthma I started working in a call center and it made me as much and when I did exercise I felt like I couldn't breathe.

but leave me really startling to lose weight was just the past six months a friend asked me to be a bridesmaid.

It wasn't really until then when we went dress shopping and I realized how much we I had gained.

My self-esteem tanked for a few weeks. I couldn't go in front of 200 ppl. The dresses were pretty but it showed every imperfection due to how the dress fit.

I ended up dropping out, which I felt terrible for, but I couldn't do it.

After I was done with my pity party I decided that I would change that.

I used to hike/run 10 miles/ride my bike everywhere/ etc.

My so is starting to get ready for some nice hikes that I'm not going to be able to go on because at this point they would be too difficult. I also don't have enough PTO but I wouldn't be able to do it even if I had it.

He is very supportive of me but at the same time I won't hold him or myself back anymore.

He is doing a part of the PCT which he has been wanting to do for years.

I have been getting sick a lot more than I ever have prior to gaining weight.

Anyway, I want the more active side of my life back. I miss it and from here in out I want to do what I can to get back into shape. I also want to be able to stand in front of a large crowd without being self-conscious.
