4 lbs away from my end of June goal!2 -
@Jamie2663 FANTASTIC!! 2 Weeks left in the month.
๐ฃYOU GOT THIS!๐ช๐ฅ๐ซ1 -
My doctor gave me a metaphor for my weight problem. She said at my weight I was carrying around 2 people of my ideal size and weight. That was it for me! She explained that my heart had to work as if I was 2 of me, a sure path to a heart attack. She recommended that I use MyFitnessPal to track my caloric intake and encourage me to do more cardio exercises, like walking and bike riding. I've lost 10 pounds in 3 months, a healthy plan of 0.3 pound per week.1

@jdlatshaw glad it's working for you.. but if I may ask, why .03 lbs a week??0

Hoping to be solidly in the 150s by the end of June, so I can reach my 1st real goal of 155 by the beginning of August. So far, so good. I'll hit 159 by my Monday weigh in and *should* be 158ish by July 1.2

I'm down 80 lbs so far. Thank god I don't have a specific diet. The ability to satisfy cravings is a big life saver for me. Yesterday and Today I had a doughnut for breakfast from 7-11. I used the doughnuts from Dunkin as stand-ins. I couldn't help myself, waiting in line to buy an energy drink and they were just right there. Thankfully, they're only 300 calories. So not a day ruiner for me.
Still though, if I crave fast food, pizza, gyro's, ect. I can have it, just so long as its under my daily limit. This has really saved my life with calorie counting.2 -
@mattig89ch - I am with you about meals. Having a strict diet- ie keto, paleo, vegan - never works for me. I end up getting frustrated and angry and give up. My diet can be summed up as: eat whatever I want in moderation( except for vegetables that I eat as much as I want of!) and stay within calorie limits.1

Unexpected travel took me off my running goal for the month but I'm glad to be back eating right and running again I'm not looking forward to seeing what the scale has to say though lol.1

Slowly, but surely! I'm encouraged. Tired...but encouraged! Stay strong all!1 -
Grumbling to myself today. Mondays I use as my official weigh in day, to compare weight loss week-to-week. Today's weigh in? No movement. Nada. Zilch. I'm going to say that it's muscle soreness (and therefore, water retention) because my legs are pretty stiff/sore today from all the hiking. But still disheartening.1

Pinch of sea salt and a cup of water. Tricks your body into thinking you ate but you don't really consume any calories. Has saved me many times3

Homemade electrolyte drink? Seems reasonable.1 -
HOPE EVERYONE (who celebrates it any) HAD A FABULOUS FORTH!!!
Soo...Yesterday was my birthday...and I thought I'd be really sad..again (I haven't taken bdays so well since I turned 40)...But it turned out pretty nice, beautifully actually. TURNS OUT ALL THESE YEARS, ALL I HAD TO DO WAS TAKE A LOOK AROUND AT ALL OF MY MANY BLESSINGS, BE GRATEFUL AND I COULD HAVE STARTED ENJOYING MY "MIDDLE AGE" BIRTHDAYS ALOT SOONER!โค๐
Anyone else suffer a midlife crisis yet?๐ Lol1 -

Glad you had a wonderful birthday! Getting older is a humbling experience. Some days I feel like it truly sucks, but 'all' days I'm thankful and feel blessed to be healthy and to see another day. I had some of my younger Zumba buddies laughing before class yesterday... to amuse them I started doing squats, with my knees creaking to the beat! Gotta find humor!1 -

I'm going to counter and suggest that "tricking your body" sounds like a quasi-disordered way to view food. If you're struggling with hunger I'd bet a meaningful amount of money you're trying to sustain an unsustainable loss rate for the amount of fat you have to lose OR you're not skilled at budgeting your calories over the course of the day and blowing through them too quickly.1 -
