I did it! I got up this morning and was 206.6! A new low for me! That means ive lost 9.8lbs since I started losing weight and 6.2lbs since joining in on this post! I did not do my nightly treadmill walk last night, but I did do my morning one this morning (45 min) and yesterday morning. I will walk again tonight.
I think my lunches and dinner are a big help too and I'm eating low carb because of what I am eating this week. Plus what I'm eating keeps me real full and almost makes me want to skip dibner....but I dont.
Lunch has been an avocado chicken salad (Rotisserie chicken, 1 mashed avocado, plain green yogurt, garlic powder, salt and pepper) wrapped in a spinach and herb tortilla.
I have also been making and smoothie thats 1 cup of coffee, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 2 scoops chocolate protein powder, 1 frozen banana and 1.5 cups ice.
Then as a snack I have been having 1 serving of cottage cheese with Mrs. Dash mixed in. Dinner has typically been a meat and vegetable or rice.
I'm just excited to finally get back on track and to a new low.7 -
@cbenno97 omg your weight loss is so inspiring! We have the same goals and started from a similar place too; keep it up!
I’ve been making consistent progress and am very happy about it! Lost a pound this week and am almost at 120 lbs! I’m finishing finals this week and starting a summer internship, so I’m hoping I can still stick to my exercise/meal schedule. Right now I intermittent fast and work out in the morning (but I wake up late so it’s like 11 am workouts), but with work starting early I’m going to see if I can motivate myself to wake up to go on early morning runs...we’ll see!

@my4570 you are honestly crushing this! amazing progress. Good luck with your finals

@Making_Impossible_Possible congratulations! I am so proud of you! you are doing so well. Also your lunch sounds delicious and I may try that next week!
Inching closer and closer back to 166. Was at 167.8 this morning but I truly believe that's all the "bloat" I had to drop. Hoping to see 166 this week, but realizing I may not. Expecting TOM next week so would be nice to see it prior to that bloat.
Did my HIIT workout this morning- arms/abs, v situps are no joke! wow. Tomorrow will be cardio and HIIT on Saturday to be caught back up with my program again. Hope everyone has a wonderful day:)2 -
Hi everyone,
I had a lot of salt over the weekend so I drank a lot of water and today I had a loss of 2 lbs! I am now at 149.6 lbs. Finally reached the 140’s which I had not seen in years. I have to lose 4.4 lbs to my goal of 15 lbs by the end of the month. We can do it!! 😊5 -
Saw a much better number on the scale this morning! Might be because I started something new yesterday. I'm switching up my evening eating habits to be more "weightloss" friendly.
1) Simple carbs are basically cut out or will be in small amounts in the evening.
2) Smaller dinner"s"- My old routine of eating a large dinner right befor bed is not working for me anymore. & I know it is not a good habit to have in general. So I am now eating 2 small "dinners" in the evening instead of 1 large one. 250 calorie dinner at 5PM and 200 calorie dinner at my normal dinnertime, 8PM.
Eventually, I'd love to cut out the second dinner all togther and just swap it for a cup of decaf coffee. But I would need to get my husband on board with that first! I told him about my 2 dinner plan and he liked the idea, even expressed an interest of possibly trying it as well. We'll see what happens. Baby steps! Hope everyone is having a great week. Keep up the great work!!

That's awesome! I can completely relate! I stepped on the scale this morning and was 195 down from the 198 Monday when I weighed in due to salt also. I was so relieved lol0 -
@brittgreenlikethecolor88 and @cbenno97, thank you for your encouragement! 4.6 lbs does not sound like a lot but it is a lot for me. I’ve been in the high 150’s and mid 160’s for years so being in the 140’s feels great! 😊
@Ayesha0624, congrats to you! What a great feeling losing three pounds!👏👏👏 yes! salt can make you gain at least a couple of pounds. I also had wine a cake over the weekend so that does not help as well. I am happy with my loss! I will be more careful this weekend and track everything! 😊0 -

Having two small dinners sounds like a great idea!😊0 -
@Making_Impossible_Possible - You are doing awesome! I like your lunch ideas! I eat a lot of avocado and have a whole one almost everyday!
@megand1704 you are doing great! you motivate me to push myself to exercise! Thank you!
@cbenno97 we have the same weight loss! we can do it!
@my4570 You are doing awesome! You are very close to your goal!
@PatriciaNeves2015 nice loss!
This group is so inspiring! love it!2 -
@jewelelainecasey - what are you doing for IF. I have been loosely trying 16:8
@MeganD1704 - sounds like you did your best and have a good plan to make up for it.
@pins1982 - welcome 😊
@PatriciaNeves2015 - don’t beat yourself up, a few tweaks and you’ll be losing again. Weight loss is not linear just keep following the plan and you will lose.
@azkunk I do the 16:8. I'm pretty strict with it and usually only eat roughly 12001 -

@PatriciaNeves2015 awesome loss!
Unfortnatley today has not gone as planned- our home security system started to have a massive glitch at 2:30 am, I was on the phone with them until 4:00 am trying to reset the smoke detector sensors digitally so it would stop going off (there was no smoke or fire, it was just trying to re add itself to the system). I didn't fall back asleep till about 5 thanks to my racing heart/anxiety.
As a result no 5:00 am workout. I think I will sub my tomorrow workout for tonight as I am not a fan of taking pre workout in the evening, but could easily do some cardio without it. I think that means two days of HIIT back to back though as per the program I am following...yikes. I am going to take a look after work and make a decision.
In pleasant news my bloat from the Chinese food is gone, even with such poor sleep. Ready to keep trending down!. Really trying to hit 164 lbs this month.
You're doing great keep at it!!0 -
Good morning,
Has anyone had issues with the MFP app? My profile and friends lists is not longer available and I can’t see my any comments from friends. This is the first time it happens.

@Paz922 for days. I cant see anything. The app and my desktop arent working together either (ie if I log a food on the app it doesnt show in the desktop and vice versa). I can see groups/community still but home page and diary? forget it

Nope nothing. Three days down.0

Thank you! I guess there is something wrong with the app!0 -
Another drop on the scale this morning I'm going to continue my smaller dinner routine! It seems to be working well. Yay!
