Monday check in
So was doing really great on my goals and then Friday hit. I talked my husband into fastfood on Friday because I had a headache and didn't want to cook. Strike 1. Woke up Saturday to drizzle and cold. Spent the day under a blanket binge watching criminal minds. Then it started to snow. Strike 2. I live in a desert we don't do snow. Woke Sunday to a blanket of white stuff and said forget it. Curled up on the couch and continued the binge watching and eating. Strike 3 and I was out.. gained a lb back which sucks but it is what is. Can you northern folks come get your weather please?

Yesterday was another good day. Husband and I had a relaxing morning drinking coffee and talking. After lunch I went and got the kids from my parents and we had some family time. I also made a batch of Creamy Roasted Broccoli Soup, divided it into servings and put them in the fridge for lunches. I had a piece of the birthday cake I made as planned. Honestly, I'm not sure it was really worth it. It tasted good I guess, but I just don't crave things like that anymore and it kind of made me sick to my stomach for the rest of the day, and even this morning.
That soup sounds delicious. Can you share the recipe?@lindamtuck2018 I'm so glad you have made the move but I know from experience how horrible cleaning out the old place can be - good luck! I hope you are sleeping better, knowing the hard part is over and you can begin to make your new house your home. On our educational tv we have a show that is chair exercise, and it comes on daily. I hope you are able to find something like that where you live. I did it when my leg was broken and it was a good workout!
We got it done but unfortunately my husband had to do most of the work because my back and hip hurt so much from the fall. I am going to look later today for exercises I can do once I don’t hurt anymore.Megan_smartiepants1970 wrote: »Good Morning Awesome Downsizers....

I need to make an appt. with a new urologist (kidney stones) ..It is never ending and getting older suckssssssss LOL
I feel you on getting old. I was supposed to start physical therapy for my hips but had to cancel the appointment when I got covid. One of the things on my to do list is to rebook all my appointments I missed when sick. Have you checked with the doctor yet for your foot. That is how my right foot goes because of the neuropathy which is a result of my diabetes. You have to take care of yourself. Do you think you could be walking too much and it is aggravating your hips, and feet? Listen to your body if it is telling you to slow down. I would hate to see you sidelined like you were a few months ago.Username : azkunk

This week was rough. My almost 50 year old body cannot handle 10 hr shifts on my feet like it once was able to. I literally was on my feet every minute of the shift except for the one and only break that we got which was 30 minutes. My calories were under most days but I did not eat as planned as they provided lunch and I was too beat at the end of the day to make dinner. The scale jumped around this week and hit a new low ... 177.5 but that did not stick around for weigh-in and I ended with a slight gain. I am still pretty sore and I know there is inflammation and water retention at play. Next week I am in the pharmacy tent drawing up the vaccine. Still 10 hour shifts but I will be sitting. Hopefully, I can get some stretch breaks. I will do a better job prepping my meals and staying on track.
Your week sound hard. I agree that you are experiencing water retention and inflammation. You are probably using muscles that you haven’t in awhile. You are doing such an important job. Thank you!Beautyofdreams wrote: »Username: Beautyofdreams

Awesome loss!Hi.
Sw 94.8
Pw 94.7
Cw 94.6
It has been a week of trying to get in routine. It will.be better this week with being back at work.
Completed all my training runs. 3,4,4,5kms - feel like I am making progress, but only week 2 of this plan.
Plan this week is 4,4,4,6kms
I discovered McDonalds hot choc has far too many cals, and also banana thickshake. They will now be on the special treats list
Goals for this week, continue with ensuring I drink enough water. Correct and true logging of foods.
Nice loss! It is so sad to discover our favourites have so many calories but it is good to have them as a treat every now and then. Just curious about your running. What program are you doing? Awesome job on completing 2 weeks of the program.Steps 11,936
Did my upper body workout. Got to run out by myself for a few errands and even remembered to throw dinner in the crockpot early in the am. So I will call it a success!
Got to love that slow cooker. I am going to be looking for tips from you guys on strength training once we are out of lockdown. Do you train at home.0 -

Thank you @363days and @lindamtuck2018 😊
In case it helps anyone, and because you asked, but not as to say it's the right thing for all*; last week I did my usual workout routine (trying to burn about 1000 active calories each day while also focusing on strength work) and I dedicated more effort on my diet. I did carb cycling and intermittent fasting (20 hour fasts, eating in a 4 hour window). Kept my carbs under 100g mostly, and ate high protein (about 1g per my pound of body weight). Trying not to eat anything processed. Under 1400 calories per day. Planning to continue this week with the same. I made it through the weekend without cheats!
On Sundays I prep food for the week. Today: 12 boneless chicken breasts in the pressure cooker (takes 10 minutes!), steamed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, parsnips, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, asparagus) and one dozen boiled eggs (my spouse eats from this prep also).
*It is important to do what works for your own lifestyle, goals and nutritional needs.
It is interesting to read your routine. I love hearing about different ways to lose weight. I have picked up so much from my teammates. Just curious if you did your eggs in the instant pot. I got one for Christmas and I thought I read somewhere that it is so easy to do them in there and the shell comes off super easy.0 -

Good morning Linda. No, I didn't do my egg in the pressure cooker and haven't tried that yet. I use this: Dash Deluxe Rapid Egg Cooker
So I can boil the eggs while I'm cooking the chicken, etc. I already had the egg boiler and find it so easy to use.

@iHUSTLE4MUSCLE
this is very helpful, thank you. I noticed that on my suggested carbs on my food page, it seems pretty high. I'm going to work to cut those down.
@littleflutterby Dang! I hope you are feeling better. Your cooking made me hungry for spaghetti! I'm seeing that successful people prep meals ahead.
@lelbarou I am always impressed that you do not let the scale reflect your mood. Gluten is an issue for me and I think maybe also corn. Of course, I LOVE the products that include each.
@mszoueb Wow, great weight loss and efforts.
@jimboden3 I struggle with emotional/boredom eating. I work from home and I'm not busy - I'm bored at night, lonely, it's cloudy, the Cleveland Brown's won (!) so many reasons to eat. This week I'm focused on one of the lessons in Beck's notebook to determine if I'm hungry or if I'm craving. I started this focus yesterday and I was amazed to see how many of my reactions were cravings. I have a coloring book, a game I can play by myself and other things from the list of things to do in the evening, in order to not boredom eat. I'm always one bite away from a binge and I'm one pound over where I started in October. A positive, however, is that I did not have a large weight gain over the holidays. Now I'm getting serious.
@shortyjmorgan1 Wow, your documentation of your eating and binge watching is very similar to my behavior!! Beautiful picture!3 -

Today was my last day at work for a little while. After about half an hour the pain got really bad so most of my shift was just sitting in the back and trying not to cry from the pain! Dramatic much? (lol not really) I got someone to cover the last few hours of my shift and I left early.
I did a fair bit of studying tonight, I really want to get caught up on things and get ahead of the game. I'm going to make the most of my time off by focussing on my studies and doing some batch cooking!
Yesterday I made a nice bolognese in the slow cooker, and I had enough for dinner for the wife and I for 2 days as well as NINE portions that I added spaghetti and cheese to and put in the freezer, now I have healthy ready-meals! We have some plans for a beef roast and some chicken breasts (I'm going to make a fajita casserole with rice) I need more tupperware containers!!!!
Anyhoo, my exercise has been non-existent because of the pain but my food and water intake has been on point. I am being kind to myself and doing as much self-care as possible.
I am going to read through all of the posts now, I won't have time to reply to them all, because it's nearly bedtime. But I know that if I don't at least check in with y'all, that is a slippery slope for me!

Everyone has been mentioning food in their checks ins and I love the ideas. I didn’t know you can freeze spaghetti. Fajita casserole sound yummy. You need to take care of yourself. Have you heard from the surgeon yet?JimBoden3
Weigh-in Day: Monday (Jan 11, 2020)
CW: 218.3
PW: 219.8
Starting Weight: 240
After a zero loss the prior week, it’ nice to see some movement in the right direction. I think a series of small changes in my diet plan helped out which I tried to keep pretty simple:
Track food intake and stay under my daily 2,000 net calories (after deducting for exercise) at least 5 days / week and don’t exceed 2,500 calories / day (unless it’s a ‘special occasion’).
I already eat a relatively balanced diet, so I didn’t feel it necessary to require eating a certain number of fruits and vegetables or macro nutrients each day and just continue to make common sense healthy choices for most of my intake. To lose weight in a sustainable way, I will have to make some sacrifices … remember, it’s called a DIET because all of the other 4-letter words were already taken 😊!
I came up with 3 ‘flexible’ restrictions or guidelines but if I stay within the 2,000 net calories, I’m comfortable with the idea of indulging as long as I offset it in some other way (ie. a slice of cheesecake for dessert = extra time exercising or having a leaner lunch and dinner that day).
My Diet Guidelines- Avoid eating before 6 am or after 8 pm
- Limit junk food items (chips, popcorn, etc.) to 1 serving / day and only after some fruits or vegetables
- Avoid having more than 5 alcoholic drinks (beer, cocktail, or glass of wine) / week
This doesn’t mean you'll find potato chips and beer on my daily Food Diary but that I can have both (in moderation) on say, Super Bowl Sunday (qualifies as Special occasion) for example. It’s all about choices but still staying within the limits of my plan. Of course this is just my personal approach and I may take a harder line if I struggle to see results however, keeping it simple and flexible is appealing to me for now.
I’d be interested in hearing what other Downsizers are doing if anyone else is willing to share what works for them.
I am full of questions today. With your calories, do you save calories from the 5 days to allow the extra calories the other 2 days? I work on a calorie average for the week so I guess it would be similar but lately I have been having too many treats on the weekends which put me over the average for the week. I really like your diet guidelines. I have struggled for a while now but I set some simple goals for this month. I am working on my sleep, healthy snacks, a step goal and to track everything that I eat. These are what I did 2 years ago when I started so I guess I am going back to the basics.Weekly weight check in
PW - 314.4
CW - 314. 4
LTD - 50.6 pounds
So, this is the first time my weight the same in a weekly check in . However, I was 312 on Saturday, so I am assuming this 2.4 pound difference over two days relates to a water weight gain? I have recently altered my diet to eating more grains. I felt I might be allergic to many grains, and potentially I am correct. I think I will limit my serving of grains to once a day as opposed to twice and wait one more week to see the results. If things continue, I am assuming I have a potential issue with grains.
I refuse to get excited about this lack of change in weight. If things don't progress in a week, then I will simply change or modify what I eat again.
Anyway, I hope everyone is well!
I am really glad that you are not upset about maintaining. With our weight loss journey we will experience losses, gains and maintaining. I think you are right and it is water gain from Saturday. You are approaching this very logically.Weigh in:

Hi all,
Here for Monday check in. I've had a good week as was under my calories all week and got at least 1.6 litres of water (6 cups) of water in each day. I did two 25 min yoga sessions and 30 min dog walk and I'm still filling out the calorie counting food diet diary that I posted about last week, still in two minds whether to get another or do my own thing. From my first week on the meal plan, I have noticed how I had been boredom or emotional eating, those aspects still come into my mind, but, I have kept strong and stuck to the plan with a few additions i.e. added 2 rashers of bacon to the cream cheese bagel. I think going forward I may have to add some bits and bobs into the food like, fresh fruit or side salad, but, I am conscious of not going too far with it or what's the point of even buying meal prep. The company asked customers for feedback for this past week's meals and I've offered suggestions to them, hoping they take them on board.
Got another 3 weeks or so, then will assess. A few days ago I was leaning towards not continuing for various reasons, but, a voice in my head is saying keep the structure of getting meal prep for a few more months at least if there is a continuous weight loss then, I can maybe do my own thing after. I've set an additional goal in not getting any takeaways (takeout) until on my birthday towards the end of April.
Have a great week everyone
Awesome loss. I think making little changes to the meals you have delivered is a good way to keep eating eating out of boredom at bay. One thing my dietitian has told me is to always look at what is working and to repeat it. I know my food diary is very helpful as I go back and look at what was working when I was doing well with my weight loss. I think your goal of no takeout for a few months is great. I know for myself the sodium in takeout really affects my weight loss.Check in for Jan. 10

Today is my day of rest to see if I can stop hurting from the fall. I really did something to my left hip which I think is causing the back pain. I am going to give it a few more days and if it is not better I will contact my doctor. Everything is in the new place and I just have to put it away. Hubby is still home as he is still testing positive for covid. Public health gave him a letter explaining he is not contagious and he can return to work but his employer is not allowing him to return. He could actually continue to test positive for a while.
I am going to do my pre tracking for the week today. I want to get back to regular tracking. I won’t meet my step goal but I have to take it easy for a few days. I am also back to weighing my food even though I don’t like my new food scale. I am going to keep my eye out for one that is a little bigger. I am trying intermittent fasting for the week. My window to eat is from 12pm to 8 pm. I weighed myself and I am down from last weeks weigh in even though we didn’t eat so good the weekend.
Have a great start to the week.5 -

Yesterday was another good day. Husband and I had a relaxing morning drinking coffee and talking. After lunch I went and got the kids from my parents and we had some family time. I also made a batch of Creamy Roasted Broccoli Soup, divided it into servings and put them in the fridge for lunches. I had a piece of the birthday cake I made as planned.

It tasted good I guess, but I just don't crave things like that anymore and it kind of made me sick to my stomach for the rest of the day, and even this morning.
That soup sounds delicious. Can you share the recipe?
Absolutely!
2 heads broccoli cut into florets
1 zucchini halved and sliced
1Tb butter
1 onion diced
1 carrot sliced
1 shallot diced
2 cloves garlic minced/microplaned
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
Chicken stock
Salt
Pepper
Toss broccoli and zucchini in salt and pepper and roast in the oven on 400F for 20mins. At the same time melt butter in large pot on medium and saute onion and carrot until dark golden brown-usually about 15 mins. Add garlic and shallot to pot and saute for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add broccoli and zucchini to pot. Add almond milk and enough chicken stock to almost cover the veggies but not quite. Usually 2-3 cups I think. Bring to a boil and then turn to low and simmer for 30mins. Puree the soup, salt and pepper to taste. I split it into 4 servings. I've made a double batch with success before too.

I usually just Google a recipe for whatever meat I want to use haha. "Chicken thigh instant pot recipe" and so on. Or, we really like asian style food so I have a lot of those types bookmarked on my phone. Honey sesame chicken is our current favorite. The instant pot also makes a fantastic roast and really quick soups.3 -

Hi Linda - My plan to keeping under 2,000 calories / day for at least 5 days of the week and not to exceed 2,500 calories on any days isn't really geared towards 'letting loose' on the weekends - my goal is really to stay under 2,000 calories every day but the reality is that there will be times where it's just not feasible. for example tonight is The Ohio State University - Alabama championship game and my oldest daughter graduated last year from Ohio and was part of the Marching Band so I'm sure I'll have a beer or two watching the game (we're having Jambalaya tonight which isn't exactly low-cal - even with turkey sausage and brown rice) and I just don't have time everyday to work out for extended periods Mon-Fri so I know I'm going to go above 2,000 from time to time and that's OK as long as I keep it to 2 days max and make sure I don't exceed 2,500 net calories - that way I'm not going completely off the rails even though I stretched a bit. Bottom line, my plan gives me a little extra leeway to not get down on myself too much - as long as I rein it in a bit. Does that help explain my thinking?
Thanks - Jim
PS - Don't worry too much about having to get back to basics. Your best chance at achieving your goals are when your actions are based or built on a sound foundation. You can always add and refine your approach once you're comfortable that you're getting the 'main things' right. At least that's how I'm moving forward. Best of luck!3 -
Crazy day today! My day started at 5 in the morning. I went to my new course and I met in person the people I'm going to be studying with.
I went to the hospital to the Obesitascentrum and I spoke with the doctor and they are going to be checking me up in all the ways possible. I'm going to have an entire team of doctors working to help me. To see what makes me take more and more weight.
I'm scared and excited at the same time.
Tomorrow I will have another busy day starting at 5 in the morning. But hey! I did 5 meals 💚 I walked almost 20.000 steps💚 And I craved much less of everything 💚
