When you carefully measure out your evening snack that you've allowed yourself to indulge in and your dog tries to steal one of your tortilla chips. You are really mad, not primarily because he's being a bad dog and should know better, but because, hey, I've already logged that, no way am I going to let you have that!5

Haha, I can relate to that feeling, except with cats and a toddler....

I’d like to stop drinking alcohol so often in July!!! I feel like I use so many things as an excuse to indulge and I know it’s just empty calories.3 -
Welcome ladies!1

I was down to 196.4, but after a couple weeks of indulging, I’m back up to about 200. My goal is to get back to 196 by the end of July!1

The scale hasn’t budged for a while but I’m eating right and just started a new workout routine (Piyo, Beachbody) remaining consistent!2

I have to watch for my teenager! She’s eating me out of house and home this summer...and she weighs 95 lbs!

I’m where I want to be for mid-July. My goal is to lose 6-8 pounds this month, and I’ve lost about half that amount. It’s hard when the weather is so hot. I don’t even want to drive to the gym!

Still sitting at around 203-204, partly because I am returning from a family reunion where the food was good and the drinks were flowing. This week I plan to jump right back to my plan , hopefully all the water weight will go away. I have an event this weekend and a trip next weekend . So *cross fingers I do not allow those things to derail me from my goal. The great thing is that August I have no trips planned ( except my Bday) so I can go as hard as I was in May and June. I still hope to get into onderland by the end of the month (we will see)….4

Everyone is so inspiring! I’m on my way back to 196. I was 198.8 this morning. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, but I stuck to my calorie goals. I’m going to try to work out today. I’m still not feeling great, but a lot better than yesterday, so I’m at least walking the dog twice, which is about 1.2 miles.
Food today:
Breakfast protein shake with organic baby spring mix and strawberries
Lunch organic David’s seed bread with turkey, cheese, lettuce, cucumber, 6 pieces California roll, 1.3 cups cherries
Dinner one cup Bonza chick pea pasta with sauce and chicken, carrots, celery, cucumber3 -
HW 242 (June 2018)
CW 202-207 (June 2019) - unfortunately 207 as of this am.
GW for July 199
July Goals
10 day mini boot camp 01 July to 10 July
During these first 10 days time (exercise twice each day - swim/walk am/pm)
Add a couple of land aerobic classes (at least try them)
Stick very strictly to my calorie intake.
No eating after 7pm
Ok....so this is the update.
CW 200.0 lowest I’ve been in 11 years!!!
Stuck fairly well to food
Did a land aerobics once ouch...sore wasn’t great
Twice a day was hard, was able to do that a few times.
Had a couple of unexpected life hick ups.....went to gym anyway
Congratulations! It’s great that you got to the gym even with your life hiccups. That’s an accomplishment. I’m finally the lowest I’ve been in 4 years (under 200) and it feels like an accomplishment, especially because I can fit into my shorts and some nice dresses I haven’t been able to wear in a while. It seemed like such a long way to go, but I’m starting to get back into enjoying food without letting it rule my life.3 -
Finally! It wasn't a whoosh but I finally saw 239 on the scale. Officially into the 230's at last. Considering my heaviest was 276 at the beginning of the year, that's pretty crazy.
@tamz81 Today's meal plan:
Breakfast: Yogurt cup, honeycrisp apple, large coffee with milk and sugar.
Lunch: Chicken thigh and green beans w/salt and a little butter.
Dinner: impossible cheeseburger pie. It's one of the higher calorie things we make but it's sooo good. It's ground beef, pancake mix and cheese, basically.
What kind of yogurt do you eat? My favorite is Oikos Greek triple black vanilla. Lots of protein, fiber, and Stevia sweetened. I also add a couple T spoons of Bear Naked granola when I eat it with an apple.
Did you eat veggies with your cheeseburger pie? I try to eat celery and carrots and cucumbers before a meal that I know is high calorie so I stick to my serving plan.0 -
Hello!
New to this board and looking to make some connections in my weight. It’s been quite awhile since I have really given it my all to lose weight. I have 2 boys, ages 2 and 5, and I stay at home. I find motivation to keep going on weight loss difficult. But at 240 and NEVER thought it would be this bad.....EVER.
I hope to talk more with you all! 😊
I have two boys. When they were little it was so hard to lose weight. I got up to 228, maybe higher when they were little, and I’m only 5 3. I didn’t really start losing weight until they were in their teens. I hope you stay on this journey and put yourself first on this journey to health. It would be great to cheer on someone doing something for themselves that I couldn’t. It would inspire me!1 -

I just got this giant pack of Kirkland yogurt cups from Costco. I prefer the Oikos stuff but sometimes have to be budget conscious.
I don't eat veggies at home very often. I barely tolerate them and husband straight up won't eat them. Impossible cheeseburger pie is very filling anyway. We tend to lean to recipes that don't need side dishes since we both hate cooking.
Tonight I think we're just doing hot chicken sandwiches since we're both sick.0 -
My hubby isn’t big on veggies either. I try to sneak cauliflower rice in with the regular rice when I make fried rice. 😂1

I set up mini challenges for myself each month. I made May a no alcohol and no chip month, you could do the same for the rest of July and all of August?0 -
Starting again for at least the tenth time. Bad choices, Prednisone, torn tendon on the bottom of my foot- yada, yada, yada. We have all heard this before.

Hello everybody, I was scheduled to have bariatric surgery this coming Monday, but just the prep made me so sick, and unable to function or form a clear thought, I canceled surgery. Problem is, I’m still 236 pounds at 5’6”. I downloaded this app to hopefully help, inspire, and motivate me to be disciplined and lose this weight organically. I saw this group, and thought maybe I could find some support and cammraderie with people who understand what I’m going through. 😊7

I’m 225 first goal is to be 199 by end of August. Already lost 5 pounds.4

Hi ladies! Well, I weighed in today and am down to 226. Another pound down. Such a long road, it's like every day is a struggle. Baby steps, though! I'd like to be around 215 by the end of August.
SW: 254 (03/04/2019 - before baby was born)
CW: 226 = -28lbs
CGW: 215 = -39lbs
UGW: 155 (Maybe? I can't figure out how to find out your ideal weight! That's the last one I remember feeling good at) = -99lbs3 -
Hi there!
I’m newer to MFP and am looking for others that have some weight to lose to keep me motivated and going. I recently (since October) have gained 10 pounds, and need to start by losing that 10 pounds and more. But my first goal is to lose the 10 that got me here.
I’m newer to calorie counting, and am also trying to walk 40-50 minutes a day, and if not than walking and some other sort of cardio to get to about 50 minutes a day. Once I’ve fallen into this routine of working out and being within my calories I’ll add in more intense workouts. But I don’t want to overdo it to start.
Anyone with suggestions, tips, etc. please feel free to friend me! I could you all the support and motivation! I also love to be motivating to others!!4 -
Hi all! 🙋♀️
I am looking for some friends/motivators on here and I stumbled upon this group! And seems fitting for me! I was always luckily just slim growing up and when I had a full hysterectomy at 25 I rocketed from about 170 to 220lbs. I lost some and got down to 185 but I know I've gained a little back. So I'm probably flirting the line. And even with the weightloss my body measurements haven't changed much. That's where I'm struggling the most. Feel free to add me! I could really use the motivation and support ❤5 -
So I'm done being sick and I lost almost five pounds overnight lol.WendyH0610 wrote: »Hello everybody, I was scheduled to have bariatric surgery this coming Monday, but just the prep made me so sick, and unable to function or form a clear thought, I canceled surgery.

I'm also 236 at 5'6". I was 276 in February though. I'm aiming for 200 by Christmas. Aim with me. We can do it!

Well yesterday I finally hit onederland, today it stuck! I have met my original July goal (my birthday month).
HW in June 2018 242, SW in November on MFP 236, CW 198.8 - I also had measured in May (which was only about 7 lbs ago), and retook my measurements today - I dropped 1.5 inches in my hips and .5 inches around my neck - which shows the exercise is toning up also. My bust was also slightly smaller, and my waist stayed about the same. My next goal is to be 190 by the end of September.... I'll think about August goals for our next board.

I have 3-4 months to lower my A1C. No diet, just calorie counting, more walking, more water, less carbs and sugar. Well d@#%! That's pretty much everything. Anyways... I've been pushing myself to complete 4 miles a day, trying to bring it up to 5 miles. My diary is open and I'm active on the app. If any of you need more friends, count me in.5
