Hey team
As I’m edging towards my GW, I know I’m starting to get a bit “too relaxed” now, if that makes sense. I’m eating little bits of things I don’t normally (chocolate for example). I suppose it’s a good thing that I’ve recognised what I’m doing because then I can focus on fixing it. As many of you know, I started at 184lbs and my original goal weight was 147lbs, and I’m about 2lbs away from that right now. I told my family that I think I’d like to get down to 142lbs instead and they were saying things like “I thought you were going to stop at 147?”, “ you’ve already lost a lot of weight” and “you really don’t want to lose much more”. I’ve never felt this healthy before and my confidence has soared but I’m made to feel like I’m doing something wrong 🤷♀️
Anyways, I just felt like I had to get that off my chest 😅
On a more positive note:

TOM sucks, I’m in the same boat too and sooo bloated it’s unreal! But you’re right...tomorrow is the start of a brand new month and we’ve got this 🌷 💕

CW: 461.2lbs
Goals/comments yay so happy despite my slip ups I'm still going down. 76.8lbs lost so far in 2.5 months still have 3 months to lose 100lbs so I won't have to do the surgery.
Do you know what I just found out yesterday?? My health insurance won't cover me seeing a nutritionist but they will cover the baraitric surgery UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE!
I asked can I appeal this they said only if my doctor write a letter of Medical necessity, which is going to be kinda difficult cause she wants me to have the surgery. So I guess I'm going to have to be a little creative when I have the discussion or look for a free nutritionist.
I am just concerned cause my calories are only averaging about 600-700 a day (even though I'm satisfied) but I want to lose weight the healthy way and not be malnourished.

Allergies were acting up from all of the dust being stirred up in my house with the renovations. Took a Benadryl and it knocked me out. I slept sooooo well last night! I hadn't been sleeping well for about a week and was exhausted, my anxiety was acting up, and I was just generally in a down mood. I feel so much better today!
So sorry for those allergies but at least you got that much needed rest sometimes it is all we need to get back on track.Tuesday Check in

I went over my calories on purpose. I've been under for several days and I'm trying not to stay at the same calorie level all the time.
It was hard getting my steps in today. It was one meeting after another....so I was pacing the halls between meetings and finally got over 10,000.
That's one way to get your steps. Sometimes we need to shake up our calorie intake and it makes an huge difference for the better most of the time.Daily Post (Wednesday)

I was on target with my calories. Then late last night my daughter sat by me with a box of Cheese Nips while we watched Paranormal Caught on Camera and I sort of just snacked with abandon on those crisp cheesy little squares of yummy goodness. Don't know how much I actually ate.

Baby girl's 3rd birthday! I had cake, and yummy dinner, and pre-planned all of it! I actually think I over estimated some of the calories, but that's ok. I was full by the end of the day and that's all I cared about. And the birthday girl loved her cake and presents! Still not sure how to blow out candles, but that's ok. hahaha2 -

Hey team
As I’m edging towards my GW, I know I’m starting to get a bit “too relaxed” now, if that makes sense. I’m eating little bits of things I don’t normally (chocolate for example).

As many of you know, I started at 184lbs and my original goal weight was 147lbs, and I’m about 2lbs away from that right now.

Years ago, when I was at my lowest weight, I weighed 165. I'm 5'9" and have a fairly broad frame. I felt great, but wanted to get down a few more pounds. Mainly because I was in between sizes and 5-10 lbs more would have put me comfortably in a lower size. My family was horrible to me. I was always the "big" one and for the first time was the smallest. My mom was the worst. She's overweight and is miserable, but does nothing to change it. My older sister was always the small one and over the last 5 years has become overweight. Once I started gaining after my injuries, both were completely different people to me. So much nicer.
I say that only you know how you feel and what your goals should be. Don't let anyone else's opinion matter more than your own.3 -

Thanks for this. I’m kinda in the same situation with my sis. She’s always been slimmer than than me and never commented on my weight before when I was heavier. She’s now about 15 pounds heavier than me and is one of the people telling me not to lose much more weight etc.
I totally agree and will try my best not to let others opinions matter more than mine 😊

Oh boy in the past 3 years I have heard it all, I think. Lotsa input from people once you have lost a noticeable amount of weight. One person told me that I looked "younger and prettier" when I was "fat" and that I should tart eating again. (Terrible huh?)
You have to ignore other people's comments, especially the jealousy.... it's really hard when it's your family though--- and I can very much relate to this. My sisters both started being very mean to me, then stopped talking to me after I lost weight---and nothing else changed about me except my size/looks....nothing, except that I am a lot more happy, positive and outgoing now. It makes me so sad when I think about it.
I hope you both do whatever makes you feel healthiest and continue on your path without second guessing your healthy commitment and dedication. You deserve happiness and good health!1 -

Have you considered a dietitian instead of a nutritionist? Most insurances will pay for them

@aadubb Great day and that's exciting news congrats on your loss!!
@tinak33 Hope you enjoy your weekend and your daughter's birthday!!
@CindyJNC1963 Another awesome day, great job!!
@batgirl140 Nice day!! And normally when you see a big drop on the scale the next week isn't as high, but a loss is still a loss!!
@o0kody0o It's really exciting when you start to wear things you would never have considered before!! Congrats!! NSV for sure!
And I feel the same about how close I am to my goal and what it's really going to take to finish it so today I decided to start a much stricter eating plan, I have to finish what I started! You can too!!
@SLIMn2016 Awesome day, you're crushing it!!
@digger61 You're doing great, keep it up!!!
@CourtneyLomonaco AWESOME LOSS!! Woot woot!!
@gjaholy33 That's great news about the workers comp! Glad you're sticking with the bowling too, that's huge! Also you're doing such an incredible job and you should be proud, you've made so much progress and so many great changes! And as for the insurance company, it's really a numbers thing honestly, they see you on paper and not as a human trying to make herself better, they see that you're a certain way and think your only option is the surgery instead of treating the underlying problem and thus treating the other issue, the weight, instead they want to pay for the surgery because they don't feel that the nutrition is the real issue, when it is, and that's just a business thing and while yes, it's unbelievable and part of what our issues are as a nation, it's a fact and you can't let it get to you, you're doing great, and you can keep making these lasting changes despite them. Hang in there, you're amazing and you have done so many great things for yourself, so stay positive!!
