Weigh in Wednesday
Last week- 231.8
This week- 226.4
⬇5.4lbs this week
⬇33.6lbs total
Only 11.4lbs away from my first big goal I gave myself in the beginning to lose by Christmas. I guess painting a shed gave me more exercise than I realized lol. So glad to finally be out of 230's 🖤5 -
Mini challenge 9/17/19
yes/yes/yes
only got that exercise in because I dilly-dallied around then decided to go to the gym and do my run on the treadmill (it was 92 degrees outside by that time) I HATE treadmills, but I got it done.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK - What do you eat right before bed that keep you from waking up hungry in the middle of the night?
I don't really do bedtime snacking, because I tend to eat a pretty good sized dinner compared to my other meals. However, between 3-5pm most days I get the 'snackies', and lately I've been enjoying Trader Joe's airpopped pocorn - low cal and the texture is nice, plus it fills me up. I'm a salty-crunchy girl, could leave ice cream and cake alone for weeks, but chips/crisps had better run and hide!

Its coming off painfully slow, but at least in the right direction. I know this would have been better if I had made better choices over the weekend. So I'm going to try harder this weekend to make those better choices.3 -

@brandi_84, your assessment of this week's loss seems spot on. Can't wait to see what you do next week with a more controlled weekend!!0 -

It might be slow but that consistency without a gain and without throwing in the towel despite slower numbers is definitely to be admired!0 -

@HASWLRS Thank you 😊 I'm trying to be more involved and thank you for all the support you give to everyone here.
Question of the week- I have a problem with wanting to snack close to bedtime and I try not to give in by drinking a glass of water. I save my biggest meal of the day for dinner to keep me full thru the night hopefully. I rarely eat breakfast..i just don't like it. I think it's probably from IF a few years ago, I usually don't eat until after 2pm.1 -
So very sorry @HASWLRS I swore I posted, must have forgotten to push submit on Monday. I weighted in at 294.4, I believe previous week was 297.8. I finally climbed over my plateau and it feels so good!1 -

That is amazing!1 -
Question of the week:
I am guilty of choosing unhealthy snacks in the evening. Chips, cookies, chocolates. Several years ago, when I had my first go at losing weight successfully, I would have a bowl of popcorn between dinner and bedtime. I would shake on some ranch popcorn seasoning that you can find in the popcorn aisle. It was actually more satisfying than a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.
I am seeing other very tasty, healthier ideas from you guys.1 -
I would like to jump in and say wonderful losses so far this week everyone! It's very motivating to see everyone working so hard!
@cossmoss15 and @HASWLRS I have your steps/water for Tuesday!

I made an amazing dish for dinner tonight, Garlic Tomato Basil Chicken. I only managed to eat half because I started to choke on rice(reason why I can't listen to anything funny while I eat) and it turned into a few minutes of me thinking I was going to pass out or worse, because I couldn't catch my breath/kept choking. It was horrifying, it scared my boyfriend as he tried to help me. But I'm OK now, but my throat hurts and now I have a massive headache, so I skipped the dog walk tonight. I did get plenty of playtime in with them though, so they're asleep now.
I have decided that my goal for a month from now is to just simply be at 196.0lb(I'll take 199), and see Onederland. This is my goal for my birthday(October 18th). I would love to see 196 because it means I will hit the 50lbs mark, and I will drop a BMI class. I think I can get there, I just have to remain focused!
Off to bed in a few minutes after I make my lunch for tomorrow!3 -
