What do you use to replace comfort eating?
Sipping on a mug of a hot drink like coffee, tea, water and lemon. Wrapping my hands around the warm mug while covering up with a cozy blanket next to my snuggly dog. So comforting.6 -
Monday weigh in! We were in the process of moving last week, so while I got in plenty of steps, I didn’t have time (or resources) to eat well or exercise. Sadly, this has put me back at my starting weight:
SW: 140lbs.
LW: 138.5 lbs
Today: 140 lbs.
Even small things make the difference! My husband and I already got up and worked out in our new home this morning and I’m putting together a shopping list for healthy food. Making a plan to make this week better with no excuses since we’re in our new home 😁
It’s nice to look through and see everyone’s success. It makes me want to be on that train!8 -
Monday weigh in:
Start Weight 160.2
Goal Weight 135
12/28 160.2
1/4 155.8
1/11 155.4
-0.4 after a big loss last week. Sounds about right. Still heading in the right direction!

My husband has lost 9 lb since Jan 1 just by giving up beer! Meanwhile I am busting my rump and I've only lost 4 since then, (but 9 from my highest).
It has been hard not to turn to food and alcohol for comfort after the horrors of last week. I just have to push through.8 -

I've made progress...December 20, 2019 I weighed in at 176.2lbs so I'm thrilled about that!
Goals this week:
Walk the dog every day despite the weather!
Get on the treadmill each day as well! I've been watching Virgin River to keep me motivated and highly recommend!
Trying to increase my exercise to give my metabolism a boost...slow at 52 and the weight doesn't seem to come off quickly like when I was in my 30's! I'll get there though!!!!
Happy Monday everyone and enjoy your week!!!7 -

Second week check-in for me!
1/4 - 207.5 lbs
1/11 - 202.4 lbs
Total: -5.1 lbs
I know the first week is mostly water weight, so I'm excited to see how the next two weeks go for results. I'm working a method of still eating things I enjoy, but planning a head. If I want ice cream at night, I'm going to eat a lighter lunch. I'm going to keep the same routine through the next week and reassess on Sunday if I need to add more calories back into my diet.
Overall I'm feeling much better mentally and emotionally than the start of last week. I was having an issue of getting really tired through the day and nauseated at night for about a month that's basically gone away this past week.
Looking forward to seeing week 3's results!11 -

Thought For The Day
While researching videos for Qi Gong practice, I came across this saying:
There are two mistakes along the way to Mastery:
Not starting it and not going all the way.
I thought the same applies to my pursuit of fitness - fitness being a type of mastery.
I've started, now I must go all the way.
I hope we can all achieve mastery of our fitness.9 -

This is a well rounded thought. I tend to do good then somehow backslide. Need to stop that part of it.5 -
Foo, of course it is fine to have McDonalds or whatever, every once in a while. I myself have a cheat meal on Saturday's after my weigh in here. I usually have whatever I want for lunch that day, followed by a low calorie dinner, like soup. Even if you did exceed your caloric intake for the day, it is better than vaping!6

Calorie in vs calorie out. It's not the type of food I plan to eat a lot of. But I'm 1 day 5 hours into my quit vaping attempt, and I'm just treating myself today.
Good for you for taking the plunge to quit vaping!
As for the McDonald’s, do what you need to do to live and while staying true to your goals. This is what people mean by it’s a lifestyle. What fits with your lifestyle? Some people need to completely remove fast food habits and that works for them while others can manage moderation. As long as you plan for it and it fits into your overall lifestyle plan, you do you! Does your lifestyle plan include occasional McD’s? If so, how to you plan to make that work for you?2 -
A word of caution though @FeelinFooFoo. If you’re anything like me, the McD’s may make you feel good in the moment and will likely fall into your plan to still stay under your calorie limit BUT you may still be hungry and still need to eat more calories later to satisfy that hunger. Would choosing something smaller be an option to try so you still get to treat yourself but it doesn’t consume as many of your daily calories?
Anybody else have tips on how to treat yourself without sabotaging your efforts?2
