    Those fitting room mirrors are definitely unforgiving. Lol. M and I went to Goodwill and spent like an hour and a half browsing. I bought a bunch of things. Mostly open shirts that you would use for layering. It's going to be nicer soon so hopefully I'll get to wear nice spring/summer clothes again! I also bought a dress that I am loving, in fact, I'm wearing it right now! I'm going to the annual women's retreat in June and need to bring a nicer dress for Friday night dinner. I bought this dress for that reason. It's not formal but it is very pretty and very comfy. It's one I will wear many times! And I got it for $9...I love thrift shopping!

    Meant to post this morning but I think I just read all the updates and then forgot so I’ll post now.
    I also didn’t do well on WW. I tried it twice but the rules were not a good fit for me. I need more specific guidance and information as to why the rules are in place. I also tried SparkPeople with some luck but have had the best luck with the Mayo Clinic Diet. It just makes sense to me and I find the rules very practical and reasonable.

    @Bex-my stress releases are talking to a friend or journaling. If I need escape it’s a good movie/tv show, music, or a book.


    Yesterday:
    One house chore ✅
    Start dishes and tidying ✅
    5 minutes on to do list or project/goal ✅
    Journal done ✅
    Bed at 10-not sure what I want to do for weekends yet

    JFT 3/2
    One house chore
    Start dishes and tidying
    5 minutes on to do list or project/goal
    Journal
    Drink 80 oz. water
    Bed at 10?

    I’m new here and would love some support. I’ve been eating sweets when I know better (for a break, for a little happy moment, etc.) I need to eliminate this habit/urge. I tried today and did fair for day 1. I’m trying again tomorrow. (One day at a time.) if anyone has any helpful tips or words of encouragement, I could use some right now. Thanks friends.

    I have the same problem ... mine worse time is in the evenings. I bought some sugar free jello to eat, and the challenge for this month is to have just one snack. Then ... either brush your teeth, do something so that this is the only snack that you have. But ... welcome to this thread. There is so much support on here, and you are not alone

    Morning all. I worked really hard yesterday. Rushing around to get the kids sorted and then make it to my gym class. Then spent a good three hours or so on cleaning/laundry/organising the house. Came to bf’s house for the first time in ages and I’m here now. Ate a huge dinner with him but I think I earned it! Planned on a long run here this morning but it’s throwing it down with rain so now I’m not sure what to do. Could try and do a quiet workout in the living room but he’s asleep so it would need to be v quiet indeed!

    Very new to this. Today my goal is to stick to OMAD. Today is my second day and I am having trouble because I am little lightheaded and my meal time is at 8 which is more than 7 hours from now. I also want to do half an hour of jump rope, but I don't know if I can do it since I am already lightheaded.

    Good morning! Today we are going to the Renaissance Festival and I'm sooooo excited! My goal is to just stay within 1600 calories for the day (gotta fit in that bread bowl of goodness I get every year).

    @nlmackey98 it is ok, sometimes those days happen but it's a new day and I know you can do this!

    @shirazumdraws if you're feeling lightheaded, maybe try two meals instead? That's what I do, I skip breakfast, have a small lunch and maybe a snack, have a big dinner and then another snack (usually dessert, this is how I fit in sweets -my weakness- almost every day). Not saying my method is better than any other method, it's just what I've found has been working for me

    Yesterday 3/2:

    1. Stay within calorie goal 😁
    2. Get a minimum of 4,000 steps😁 got like 8k!
    3. Do workout😁
    4. Make budget - for real this time!!!!!😁
    5. Order gift😁

    JFT 3/3:

    1. Stay within 1600 calories
    2. Get a minimum of 4,000 steps
    3. Just have a fun, stress-free day

    OMAD sounds very strict. I am not an expert by any means, but I would personally hesitate to jump rope if you are lightheaded. You could easily hurt yourself. (Trust me....I'm forever hurting myself. I think they named a room in the Emergency Room after me. LOL :# ) Can you eat some low calorie vegetables with a bit of hummus or guacamole for dip? Those are all healthy. Or an apple? An ounce or 2 of cheese for protein?

    Welcome to the group! Let us know how you do. I'll be thinking of you!
