Hi everyone. I was at the food bank farm for volunteer day this morning (Tues and Sat then I water 3 days a week). I'm meeting a lot of really cool people, I enjoy everyone there plus the whole thing is good for my soul. In response to the questions the micro current does help, it's just normally I get steroids once a month and now it's been a few months plus I'm doing a lot. I went in for the treatment and it helped quite a bit then I crashed again right after, she told me some things to do at home so I'm doing that. My body has a lot of inflammation so it's a challenge. I've been to a few Take a Plant stands this week so I had to go get more potting soil yesterday, I picked up a few melon plants then the daughter of one of the stand owners ] insisted I take another plant when I gave her mom rosemary cuttings so I couldn't refuse that cute face. I was going to take a cactus but I got a thorn as soon as picked it up- I think that's it's way of saying it wanted to stay behind so I put it back. As you can guess I'm getting a lot of time in at the farm then at home plus I'm still doing arm cardio and strength training. I'm still having trouble with my elbow so I'm laying off weights until it doesn't hurt to close my hand around them.
Food is going good, I'm cutting back more and hoping my weight will budge but if not at least I'm eating "clean". I'm still tapering off Cymbalta which should help things but I won't be off it for some time, I'm continuing to log and should be losing a lb a week. The nurse doing my treatments doesn't believe in calories in calories out but I figure it at least gives me some basis to keep track of how I'm eating if I need it plus after 2.5 years it feels weird to NOT log. I take a powdered supplement through them which is the only supplement I've ever felt a difference with and just increased it so it's causing me to detox a little, I feel yucky so I'm about to go lay down, I feel asleep twice reading earlier and the book is finally starting to get better.3 -

Same again. I saw a slightly smaller number this week, but not this morning.
Today my youngest is 15 yo and we’ll celebrate at her favorite steakhouse. They have the best grilled shrimp and I just can’t make myself order something else , so I should be fine. I think. Next weight will tell 😁.
Happy Wednesday everyone!3 -
@TwistedSassette Thank you! A full day of leadership development does sound draining. That was nice for your hubby to make dinner, and it sounds delicious! Well done with the walking in place, I don't know how you did it after a full day! Congrats on 30 lbs down!
@laurelfit57 Congrats on the loss! Good for you for enjoying life again, woo hoo! I am so glad things are returning to normal!
@GabiV125 Happy birthday to your daughter! Grilled shrimp sounds like a great choice.
Hi all. I did well again yesterday. We had a fabulous shredded brussels sprouts salad with air-fried boneless skinless chicken breast (not part of the recipe). I used my food processor to shred the brussels sprouts: https://www.loveandlemons.com/shaved-brussels-sprout-salad/

I'm afraid to acknowledge it's moving down! Here's to hoping I am finally moving in the right direction. The Healthywage challenge at work starts on Friday. My goal is to lose 15 pounds for this challenge. Wish me luck!
Have a great Wednesday all!4 -
@askewcr Love the attitude that you got!! Life truly is a blessing. I have a senior lady in church and whenever I ask her how she is doing she will say, “I could be better.” And I will say, “Could you be worse?” And that always gets a smile and an acknowledgment that indeed she could be worse.
@AustinRuadhain Glad you could check in with us! I hope you have a blast with the scouts. Yikes to no AC! Is it very hot where you are now?
@krea4 Yayyy on your loss this week!! And a big yayyy on not buying the chocolate. I often walk down the aisle with the chocolate and just look at it and then I tell myself that maybe next week I will buy a bar. So, far I haven’t bought one but knowing that it’s not forbidden helps me to walk away.
@Cornanda Today is much better, thank you! I’m glad that you are having a good week. Keep it up!
@TwistedSassette Thanks for your kind words. I have had an attitude adjustment with DDF and I meant to write about that yesterday but something happened to my post. See below. Those types of meetings are always long and grueling. How sweet of your hubby to make dinner. And HUGE congrats on losing 30 lbs.!! That is an amazing accomplishment and you should be so proud of yourself!
@laurelfit57 Nice loss this week! You will get into those pants as long as you keep them in the forefront of your mind when at the different BBQs and picnics. Remember that it’s about YOU spending time with your friends and family. It’s NOT about the food! There will always be food. But right now, those white pants are calling your name. You can do it!
@Katmary71 Does the food bank farm run year-round or does it shut down in the winter? How long have you volunteered there? They are blessed to have you! I hope you can get the pain you are constantly struggling with under control. Curious, if your nurse doesn’t believe in CICO what does she think is the best way to lose weight? As you know, I have my own disbelief in CICO.
@GabiV125 Enjoy your dinner with your 15-year-old and that shrimp. Shrimp is one of my favorite foods!!
@trooworld That salad looks sooo good! I’ve never tried Brussel Sprouts raw. I’ve added the recipe to my Brussel Sprout collection and will definitely give it a try! You are doing great this week. Keep it up!!
@leonadixon It is moving down and you need to celebrate!! What is your time frame for the challenge? Are you on a specific diet? I would suggest for the quickest weight loss you focus on lean protein and watch those carbs and fats. And I am wishing you all the luck!!
Hey Team! I am not sure what happened yesterday. I had a whole post and somehow I didn’t manage to hit reply. Fortunately, I keep my post to you all in a Word.doc so I had most of my personals already.
Today has been good. I did a workout, a little housework, cleaned out the home office, and did some laundry. I have church tonight along with a meeting for the VBS crew leaders. Yesterday, I wrote a journal entry in my DDF app that didn’t’ get posted so I will do that today and if you are interested in what’s going with that you can read it.
Goal Weight Challenge: EYE ON THE PRIZE!
Data Driven Fasting challenge (from yesterday) Day 11 and after the rush of excitement turning into frustration over not hitting my trigger when I’m hungry, I've thankfully had the mental shift that will take me to the end. I had begun this challenge with the understanding that it wasn't like IF, and it's not. But for me, it might end up being even harder than IF has been. With IF, I had gotten lazy because when I “thought” I was truly hungry, I ate. But with DDF there is no room for my thoughts on hunger. The BG will tell me when to eat. And if there is a time when I am extremely hungry, I will simply eat something high protein and move on. Accepting this is going to be much less stressful and hopefully allow me to enjoy this process.

@laurelfit57 Sounds like you've been doing really well even with all the temptations around! That's so great!
@Katmary71 You are so busy all the time! And you must meet some wonderful people through the plant stands and farm, it's wonderful. It's strange that the nurse doesn't believe in CICO, I wonder what she does believe causes weight loss
I mean, there are many different ways to achieve weight loss (keto, IF, paleo, low GI etc.) but at the end of the day, those are tools that help you get into a calorie deficit - you simply can't lose weight if you're consuming more energy than you expend!
@GabiV125 Aww enjoy the birthday celebrations!
@trooworld Thanks! That is a whole lotta cheese lol. It's also a whole coyote, apparently! I'm just glad to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight, and looking forward to hitting more goals on my goal ladder!
I'm not sure I could enjoy a brussels sprouts salad, but the chicken sounds nice!
@leonadixon Yay! Good to see the scale moving down for you! Best of luck with the challenge - what a great motivator!
@TeresaW1020 Thank you! I'm glad that you had an "aha" moment regarding DDF, I hope this helps you keep your eye on the prize!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I did not do well yesterday. I let myself get too hungry before dinner and then binged on chocolate biscuits. I think it's that I'm not feeling full enough from lunch, which I'm not sure is protein-related or volume-related as I'm eating pumpkin soup this week for lunch. Even though I added chick peas and I'm eating snacks like yoghurt and baked beans, my protein is still low at the end of the day so I'm thinking that may be a factor. I was so hungry after work, but I talked myself into not having a snack (yay me, right? maybe not) but by dinner time I was shaky as my blood sugar had dropped too low. I ate my leftovers and didn't give it a chance to settle and see how I felt, instead I reached straight for the Tim Tams and didn't stop. It was bad, but I tracked it all and I'm owning it and reflecting to see what I can do differently. As it turns out, even with the binge I had a calorie deficit of...wait for it...2 calories So it's really just a maintenance day, and that takes some of the guilt out for me.
I refuse to waste food if I can help it, so I'm still having the soup today, but instead of eating it with toast, I'm going to have some rice cakes with tomato & cheese afterwards. I'm hoping that the extra volume (and a little protein in the cheese) will help. This is really an experiment.
Today I am having my second covid shot (Astrazeneca) so I'm hoping that I'm not too affected by that in the coming days.
I'm also wearing my engagement ring all day for the first time in about 3 years, so I'm feeling happy about that! I hope that I can add the wedding bands soon, it's still a little tight for 3 rings to fit so I'm working towards that.

I had a great talk with my health coach today and we had a talk about the fact that you have to do the work to get the results. This applies to so many areas of life. I receive it and claim it for my life. Let's go get it! 1

This is such a great group, always so much activity! Haven’t had time to go through every day, but I am catching up on today’s posts :-) :-).
@trooworld I have to say, that shredded brussels sprouts salad sounded delicious, I went over to Pinterest and saved it :-). Thanks for that! Glad you had a good day.
@TwistedSassette huge congrats on the huge loss!! 30 lbs that is truly inspiring!! I’m sorry you had a tough day yesterday, I am right there with you when not having enough to eat before supper, I do not make wise choices🥴. I have started incorporating a Costco protein shake every day, it gives me 30 g of protein, I was the same, falling short on my protein. It has been helpful for me. I actually pour it over ice and add a shot of espresso :-) :-)
@Katmary71 it is so hard to stay on track when you’re having physical challenges, good for you. Eating clean has got to be so good for your body!
@TeresaW1020 you are so right, it is definitely about the people, not the food! How is the DDF going? What is the BG? How do you tell when you get to eat? It sounds like you are keeping your eye on the prize :-) :-)
I had a great day today, went to Physio and he really kicked my butt LOL. I went to see my little grandson at his soccer practice today, cutest thing ever all the three-year-olds running around cute as a buttons❤️

@trooworld Congratulations on 30lbs, that's awesome!
@leonadixon Good luck with the work challenge!
@TeresaW1020 I have no clue, it's the first year of the food bank farm so I'm not sure what happens in winter yet. I just started a couple months ago but I really enjoy the people and the work. Sounds like you had a great day! I'm not sure exactly what the nurse believes, we were talking about weight holding on with medications and inflammation. Data driven fasting could be frustrating, I haven't seen many posts about it but I find it interesting. The whole time I lost I lost super slow, I don't know the answers yet but have a feeling until I get inflammation lower nothing will happen.
@TwistedSassette Congratulations on sporting your ring again, way to go!
@laurelfit57 Your day sounds great! It's impossible not to smile watching little ones play soccer, especially when they're running the wrong way.
@GabiV125 Enjoy your birthday celebration!
Hi gang, I watered at the food today and went to Walmart for groceries and Epsom salts. I went in because I didn't plan to buy enough for pickup but of course I went over that in person so it backfired. I ordered a "best cat dad" card for my boyfriend then have pictures of the four cats developed and waiting for pickup, I'm still kind of mad at him but he's great with the cats so I wanted to do something nice. He's not the type to celebrate things so he's not expecting anything at all especially not being a human dad.2 -
@leonadixon Congrats on the loss! Good luck with the Healthywage contest. My friend does a lot of those and wins a lot of money. I don't have luck with them, it kind of stymies my efforts to have a number goal lol.
@TeresaW1020 Yeah just make sure they are either shredded or sliced thinly. Too thick and they are hard to chew lol. Thanks, I hope I am doing well but have had some blips. It sounds like you are getting adjusted to DDF.
@TwistedSassette Wow, a whole coyote is a better visual! The chicken was good! Those are good insights regarding your hunger and binging. It may be just 2 calories you were under but you WERE under so that's good! What a great NSV to be able to wear your engagement ring, WTG!
@askewcr So true!
@laurelfit57 You are welcome. My only tip is to either shred the brussels sprouts in the food processor or slice them very thinly. Little 3 yr olds playing soccer sounds adorable!
@Katmary71 Oh it wasn't me (although I did hit 30 lbs down about a month ago), it was @TwistedSassette that hit the 30 lbs down this week! That happens to me too when I go into Walmart (or any store!). That card sounds cute.
Hi all. I am going through something emotionally right now, someone from the past contacted me that I did not want contact from, and I think that caused what happened yesterday: I ate my way through 4 different snacks. When I opened the first snack, I was genuinely hungry. But after that, it was just emotional eating. My goal today is to only snack on fruit.

I'm not planning a specific diet. My "goal" is very attainable at the weight I am at but not a hard goal like I will feel badly if I don't meet it. I am at the point where I am exercising daily and just increasing a tiny bit each day. I am also making real effort to stay in my daily calorie goal. I know I can do it, I just have not been trying hard enough. My overall "goal" for real life is to lose 60 pounds and maintain from there. I would love to see that in a year if I really keep up and keep motivated.3 -
@TwistedSassette Yayyyy on getting your engagement ring on! I also hope that the second shot goes ok for you. I completely agree that you binged because of a lack of protein. I have been doing a lot of reading and listening to podcasts surrounding protein and our need to eat enough for our bodies. Our bodies don’t store protein like it does fat and carbs so we have to eat enough every day, or we will continue to eat so our bodies can get what it requires. Dr. Ted Naiman is awesome and makes so much sense that I have completely turned around from trying to be Keto with all the high fat to a diet high in protein with moderate fat and carbs. Check out his website and you can also search him on YouTube for some really good videos. https://burnfatnotsugar.com/index.html
@laruelfit57 The DDF is going OK. I’m learning a lot and I feel great, so that makes me happy. BG is a blood glucose (or sugar), which is what I test to know when I can eat. Right now, my BG trigger is set to 84 mg/dL so I test my blood before I want to eat and if it's at my trigger or hopefully lower, I eat. I have an app through the challenge, and it will lower as my BG lowers so that I’m chasing a lower number and in theory lose weight. The purpose is to deplete my glycogen so that my body uses my fat for fuel. I hope that helped. I do agree that little kids playing soccer is one of the cutest things ever! We used to live across from a park where I could watch the littles play and it was so much fun!
@Katmary71 Well it certainly seems like you have found your place with this food bank farm and its other volunteers. That is awesome! I agree that lots of inflammation in your body will make weight loss so much harder. So, are things on the mend with your boyfriend? I’m sure he will like getting the best cat dad card. I often will buy my hubby a best dog dad card from our Maggie Mae.
@trooworld Oh, I am so sorry that you got upset by the contact. Sounds like a real violation and I hope that you won’t be further affected by any more unwanted contact. Forgive yourself the snacks and move on to doing the healthy things that you need.
Hi Team! Today was a good day. I got the church looking good for Sunday and even did some extra cleaning before vacation Bible school starts. Not sure why I did because all those kids are going to trash the place after running around for 5 days. After I came home, hubby and I went to TJ Maxx to buy some baby items for my hairdresser who is having a little boy next month. I’m really hoping that she is feeling well enough to do my hair next week! Eating has been good and I listened to a great podcasts today about the importance of protein for weight loss and muscle growth. I’m doing pretty good with the protein, but I need to work on cutting the fats and carbs down for most meals. I’ll get there!
Goal Weight Challenge: EYE ON THE PRIZE!
Data Driven Fasting challenge I had a good day! I bought a new glucose reader because the first one I bought was on the cheaper side and I’ve been thinking that it wasn't as accurate as the meter that most people in the group are using. Hubby lectured me on being cheap with my health. Gotta love him!

Thank you for the birthday wishes :
@trooword - 30lb of cheese per year per average person? At 100 cals for 30gr? No wonder MFP is popular…
@TeresaW1020 - I love how organized and determined you are with DDF. So inspiring!
@twistedsasette - fingers crossed for the second shot to go uneventful. What I discovered that works fantastic as a 140 Cals high protein snack , is edamame in shells from the frozen section (to take longer to finish 😁). Most/some nights they take the edge of bored hunger.
@Katmary71 - awesome card for your boyfriend! So creative and sweet.
Went to dinner and stayed in green, but the scale was mad at me this morning. Oh well. There’s always tomorrow. I’m heading for a long walk to start my long weekend with the right foot forward.2 -
I went to one of the local elementary schools and did storytelling for them. It was fun and I think they enjoyed it. Two of my great nieces go there and I called the up to help me sing a song. I'm so blessed to be able to hang with them.
Pretty low key the rest of the day. I did very well on my eating today. I have blood work in the morning so we'll see how that goes. I'm tired so I will turn in early tonight.
Blessings to you all!2 -

@trooworld – last week I was laser-focused. I stayed within my points every day and one day used almost all my weeklies. I felt fantastic! And now this week happened…total opposite. I’m scared to weigh in on Sunday because I’ve probably gained all 5 pounds back. Vicious cycle. I’m sorry you’re dealing with the emotional backlash. I hope you’re having a better day today.
Hey, peeps! This week has been terrible for me. As a reminder, my 21 year old that lives with me is bipolar and she has been downright nasty this week. She’s usually a sweet girl. It’s been an emotional roller coaster. And I have consumed so much that I almost didn’t want to track it in my WW app. But I did. You’d think I’d have done a little better because this past Sunday I finally broke down and got the FitBit Inspire HR. It’s been amusing tracking my sleep (terrible numbers) and also my steps (averaging 6,000 per day). I’ve walked a couple times this week and did yardwork, so I earned extra points for those. I’m at a -57 for the week. Just have today and tomorrow left on the week, so even if I save the maximum allowed each day (4), I’ll still be -49. I’m trying so hard to be nice to myself, but it’s a losing battle. I keep trying to remind myself that I can start fresh TODAY and not keep making poor choices with the attitude of starting fresh on Sunday. I’m sorry…I’m rambling now. I just have to keep my mantra WITH PURPOSE at the front of my mind.
I hope everyone is having a fabulous Friday!

@vegan4lyfe2012 So sorry that you have had a stressful week and that your daughter is having a hard time right now. Prayers for you both! You can turn this coming week around and remember that no matter how stressful things get that you deserve to treat yourself and your body well. Hang in there!
Hey Team! I’m doing a quick check in before I go make dinner. Not much going on today. I was bummed to have a gain on the scale when I’ve been doing so well with my eating and workouts. But my eating has been different this week with the focus on so much protein and I think I might not be eating enough. Also, I started this new workout program and my muscles have hurt a lot this week. So, I’m giving myself some grace and will keep on doing my thing. The weight will come.

@trooworld I'm sorry to hear about your being upset, huge hug! Congratulations on the weight loss!
@TeresaW1020 Your husband sounds like a winner! I didn't go to TJ Maxx for a long time, I slipped at work there right out of high school and ruined my back so I had a grudge because they were such jerks but it IS a fun store, I held the grudge until a few years ago (I was injured at 17). Things are calmer at home for the most part. I haven't seen many posts on DDF but I'm definitely interested in seeing how it goes for you.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I'm sorry things are rough at home right now, I hope things look up soon. Definitely don't wait until Sunday to start again! I think that's the biggest thing I learned with weight loss is getting back to it as soon as possible is the most important, there's no "real" beginning or end but it's ongoing. Huge hug, I hope your daughter starts to feel better soon.
@TheGlwUp I'm so glad you feel like you found your tribe! It's amazing how much exercise helps with stress, I wish I'd been more consistent with it before. I hope things are starting to look up with your emotional situation.
@askewcr Hope you have a great day celebrating!
Hi everyone! Had a mellow day, my boyfriend was gone with a friend so I've had the house to myself, I've been blasting music, cleaning, reading, then making his album with the cats. It's so cute I want to keep it. They didn't have pictures ready yesterday and printed them then today called me because they found the originals and I got them for free. Tomorrow is the food bank farm in the morning then I'm going to a local casino with an old friend, she's picking me up so I have my handicapped sticker and walker ready to go. I'm a little self-conscious about the walker but I know it's not a big deal. I'd much rather be able to do things with a walker than stay home mad because I can't.1 -
@vegan4lyfe2012
Living with family who have mental illnesses can be draining. I lived with my ex who had (untreated) severe depression for 10 years. It requires such a wealth of compassion, tolerance and effort. Hang in there and give yourself some love...
I've had my period this week and all I've wanted to do is eat. Yesterday I caved in and ate loads and loads of biscuits and leftovers. Today is a new day and I'm playing badminton this afternoon so fingers crossed the damage on the scale won't be too bad.
