Awesome loss! Almost 120 pounds lost. Following you on your weight loss journey is so inspiring. What is your key or keys to success? I know I have asked this before but it would be nice to share it with the new challengers.

It's a hard question to answer haha. I wish I had some magical solution to share with everyone that would help. I think I finally found a formula that works for me after all the failed attempts at getting the weight off. I actually read something on a blog this morning that resonated with me. "A big part of weight loss is getting out of your own way". Find a plan you like and stick to it- self-sabotage is a killer.

Specifically I do intermittent fasting which I've had a lot of success with because it helps me not to overeat. I don't start eating until 1pm so I only eat 2 meals a day which means they are bigger and I feel more satisfied. I also usually have enough calories for some kind of night time snack which I discovered I really enjoy.

I found the paleo diet quite a few years ago and really like it. Bread and sweets are huge triggers for me to binge so it's better for me if I just stay away.

I drink a gallon of water a day. Coffee in the morning helps stave off hunger until my eating period starts. I use spearmint gum to hold off cravings. I make a lot of my own snacks that fit in my diet so they are readily available in the pantry. I like to make bigger batches of dinner meals to have leftovers for easy lunches as I don't always have time to cook for lunch. Their might be more but I can't think of any more right now haha

Hi. Today we went for a walk to the mountains and we realized how much is taking our weight from us. We did only 9 kilometers and we are quite tired.
Sometimes I get really frustrated from this kind of things. But we are doing our best.

I keep telling myself- some is better than none! I can't wait til I can walk 9km in one go! I was telling a friend of mine today, because she was asking why I needed to take a break after 2 miles- I have to accept my limitations. There is a fine line between that and giving up. But I know my body. And I also know that I weigh literally 2 of me (well, not now since I've lost some but ya catch my drift lol)

9KM is bloody awesome, missy, and I am proud of you!

I'm also two times me!!! I have the issue that I usually don't feel tired until is too late. But my girlfriend and I were all the time trying to check our bodies like... Are we tired? We wanna increase and increase every time

Hi big family!

I hit my 5 points Saturday.

-1 point for sitting while eating (it's a really difficult one for me) I usually eat while cleaning or doing something. ✅
-1 point for making a list. I made a list for the Camino de Santiago with the different "Etapas" that we need to walk. It's quite crazy when you see that some days you will walk around 28 km. I also continued with my November list and I'm really proud on how it is going. ✅
- 1 point for my song workout. I did zumba and bellydancing😁✅
-1 point for my 2 L water. ✅
- 1 point for tracking everything. ✅

Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!!

I can imagine it is such a balancing act to hit those macros. Do you preplan your day to stay within your macros? I am curious!

I pretty much eat the same thing every day. Snacks differ and I often plug things in to fill in the missing macros and play around until I get close.
