@theleadmare I'm basically doing my own thing too. I'm trying to watch carbs because I have a tendency to have high blood sugar but otherwise, I'm just trying to eat a good balance of foods and trying to eat smaller meals and snacks often enough not to get hungry! Hot chocolate every night is a perfect treat. I have been drinking chocolate soy milk before bed.0

I'm doing low carb/keto. It has worked for me in the past and I'm trusting it will again. For me I think it mostly works because once I start eating chips or cookies I can't stop. I'm way better off just passing them up entirely. I don't feel I've been denied much since I can fill up on other things I love--like hummus and avocados. I have a whole fridge full of "safe" foods that I can grab when I start dreaming of nachos!3 -
@VeggieMeg71: I've been buying men's athletic shoes for years. I wear a 10 in women's, which is an 8 in men's, and they have a wider last and toe box, which helps not pinch my arthritis. If you're on the upper end in shoes, you might give that a try. A plain black athletic shoe doesn't look like one gender or another. (And I can't stand the ones that looked like Lisa Frank threw up on them anyway.)
@stella7x7: GOOD JOB! Wow, you're really doing well!3 -

Woop woop! Great loss! Keep it up!
I'm still doing my thing. Not too much to report. I'm down three pounds in two and a half weeks, and I'm about 6 pounds away from where i stopped working out last summer. (My birthday rolled around and we went to disney world and i didnt step foot back in to the gym until this january LOL. But I feel like I look about 20 pounds heavier than that.
My diet isn't specific either. I make smarter choices where i can, and otherwise eat whatever I want within my limit. If I want fried chicken, I make sure to make the best choices through out the day or work out a little extra longer. lol. I'm all about making smarter and more frequent healthy choice. I don't aim to cut anything out totally. After all, I do want this to be a habit that sticks. And I couldn't live my life forever without sweets and carbs.3 -

😕I’m almost certain that this is because it’s my first day of that time of the month. I’m hoping that that’s it. But either way I’m not going to let the 1.5lb gain get to me I’ll try a lot harder for next weeks weigh in5 -

I'm doing Real Appeal, which isn't really a diet, but they have you focus on different healthy habits each week to try to make healthy lifestyle changes (hopefully on a permanent basis). The food diary on MFP can sync with the Real Appeal app, so that's how I ended up here.
I am counting calories. It has always worked for me... when I do it.0 -

Hey guys, checking in real quick during my lunch hour. I read about 6 pages and the group has exploded and grown so much! I love reading all about your victories, challenges, daily routines, ideas... ya'll are an amazing group! Keep going because we are so worth it.
@ladycopnh1 - I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I hope things settle down soon. Hugs!
@FatimaStartsAllOver - thanks for checking up on me. I really appreciate it! I hurt my back while cleaning last Friday, LOL, so I haven't worked out since. My step count is so low. I laid flat on my back on the floor all weekend and early this week, but every time I feel like it's better, I hurt my back again. I started feeling better yesterday. I thought hard about heading to the gym today, but I think I better wait until I am 100%.

Had some challenges with group meals at work this week but had better control and tried to balance it out with exercise as much as possible. Seeing some good improvement in my endurance on the elliptical trainer. Just need to get a little more consistent with exercise. Still talking myself out of it after long work days more than I should.
Wishing you all success this week!!4 -

Mmm...nachos. I have been thinking about putting nacho toppings on zucchini or something. I like to experiment with stuff like that!0 -

That's my feeling exactly. And I definitely have a slow and steady wins the race attitude.0 -

I weighed today, but never posted my starting stats. I went to the doctor on December 12 and weighed 247 and learned about some other not-great numbers. Then I avoided the scale for a few weeks, but decided I needed to get myself in gear! Started weighing on January 2.

I was pretty proud of the way things went today. I spent a lot of time on my feet doing the shopping, and logged it as exercise cause my body thinks it is, and considered my other meals, and was able to handle the hungries by going out for lunch in the middle of the shopping. That may be how we handle this from now on, because I was able to have what I wanted (though it wasn't as good as I remembered/mine are better) and I feel really good.
Upped some of my weights. I think soon I'll have my legs to where I can start doing a dedicated lower body day. Arms and back are lagging behind but they were more deconditioned than my legs.4 -

I think shopping can absolutely be exercise! It can certainly wear a body out! I'm glad you had a good day!1 -
Late weighing in because the batteries for my scale still haven't arrived. I may skip this week and weigh in next Wed. No big deal. I am absolutely shocked at how low my blood sugar readings have been, almost since day 1 of changing my eating habits. I have not formally done any exercise yet, I'm kind of testing my knee out, deciding what I can safely attempt. Tomorrow I plan on working my upper body, with weights. I just have to start!! It feels wonderful when I do it, I'm just lazy!4
