I'm down 0.8 this morning. I decided that I'm going to weigh in every day. I put a calendar on my fridge and am writing my weight right on there daily. I also put stickers on the days that I work out so it's visually motivating. I've been doing hellofresh so I've been finding the lowest calorie meals. I just have to get better at late night snacking. I've been exercising a lot so I always have extra calories, and at the end of the day I end up eating them. It's such a bad habit, because I want to avoid eating those calories and just stick within my goal.

LETS GOOOOOOO

commenting real quick to make it easier for another user to find.

@kenziestabes Yay! I found the group and have it bookmarked. Thank you so much. That's one thing I love about this group is the unending support, and I would have been sad if I couldn't find you back!!!

tahitig · March 2022

Thank you all for being patient enough to hear my motivation again and again - it means so much !

Basically, I lied on a form required to reserve a small float plane for a trip to a remote spot in Alaska in July so that my mother can see the grizzly bears up close on her 90th birthday. 🐻🐻🐻

I reported my weight at 195 pounds when in fact it was 215.
If I don't make my flight weight, and that includes jacket and boots, we could be denied the chance to
board, and my mother could miss her bucket-list wish.

I won't disappoint her, so I have to make it down to 185 by our trip!

Last month, I complained about a 3-week plateau, but it finally budged --yay!

This month, it's definitely Onederland time.
That'll be a big boost, as I'll finally be on the downhill side of this weight loss goal.

Good morning everyone!

Tag party time!
Hi @chubbybaker3! I know the feels of restarting, so I know you can do it!- I lost 60 pounds a few years ago, took my profile picture, and promptly got pregnant, lol. I've been trying to get back there since.
@hap2go dealing with people's houses and stuff is so stressful. I read an article just yesterday about using tahini or nut butters to make sauces a little more rich, but of course that's just as many calories as butter, so I don't have any good solutions for you. I guess there's those little wedge cheeses? Happy cow? Those are close to the same consistency when you need a spread, but not for cooking.
@bonniemcc4 you can do it!
@porquenoirl I love your username! Also kayaking sounds wonderful.
@lmgoff232 I love that you've scheduled mani/pedi days! I think I might do the same....
@ladychr0nic I'm the worst night snacker, too. I end up saving just a ton of calories for after-work, because I know myself.
@nebslp hi!
@tahitig WE WILL GET YOU ON THAT PLANE. This is so important, just let me know if I can help.

You've got this.
@roz0810 nice round number!

It's Thursday, so allllmost Friday. My swimsuits came in! I figured it would be good to get some "before" pictures in them, so here we go (please ignore the mess and dirty mirror, it's been crazy around here this week):

I like the top of the blue and the bottom of the black one! lol!

But either one looks good on you!

and thanks for the tip re nut butters! I do use peanut butter and tahini in cooking. They are still fats but healthy fats vs animal fats so thats good at least. I do use coconut milk in soups as a substitute - maybe I can try that for sauces...

goal06082021 · March 2022

@CupcakeCrusoe the blue one is cute!

So, I started this month at 194lb on Tuesday, and just as I suspected, most of that is water and food in transit - two days later and I'm down to 192. I'm back on-plan (for the most part, been kinda snacky a few nights this week), so I know as long as I keep going and trust the process, it'll settle back out and I'm confident I'll be firmly in the 180s by month's end.

Ugh… today I am back to my starting Feb weight. On the bright side I know this is stress weight and also possibly cycle related. I did not eat over maintenance calories last week! We have officially sold our house and are supposed to sign for the new house tomorrow (of course there are last minute snags). Movers come on Sunday and we have to have everything packed and ready. Stress city! Hopefully next week my weight will be back down as we are settling in.

seltzer_lover · March 2022

@CupcakeCrusoe - both are cute but I love that blue one. And I love that you're doing some "before" pics as well as another way to track progress.

@tahitig - good luck on getting into Onderland this month! Anytime you want to deviate from your plan, remind yourself that a sea plane and an amazing adventure awaits.

@goal06082021 - bodies holding onto weight weirdly is so annoying. It also makes it hard to trust the process when the main data point available (weight) is so inconsistent.

@sandielewis2001 - congrats on the house! I can't imagine how stressful that is.

I don't normally work out at OTF on Thursdays, but today was a special benchmark class and I really wanted to check in on my progress - the last time we did the class was the very beginning of September, so right at the start of my MFP and fitness work. At the time, my rowing was 1375 meters (which felt like SO MUCH at the time). Today I got in 2050 meters during the rowing portion!!

Seeing data like that really helps me stay focused an on-track, even when scale fluctuations make it hard. Right now I'm sore and tired and need to stretch, but I'm feeling so proud of myself.

Hey y’all! I’m Val. I joined MyFitnessPal last June when my favorite site SparkPeople shutdown which was very similar to this.

I had lost 30 lbs but have gained half of it back. I’m getting back on the bandwagon because I am not giving up. 💪🏽I need to do this for myself, also for my son and my sister who also struggle with weight.

I’m currently 290.6 and still think I’m sexy! 😂but I can be better. At one point I was about 310 early last year. I’m no spring chicken and need to get healthy to get my blood pressure in check. I’ll be 57 in July and last year I met my then goal to be 285 for my birthday which I met.

My plan that works is to log my food daily and to excersize no less than every other day . Also to drink my water no less than 8 cups and to eat more fruits and veggies with each meal.

I learned to set small goals because they are more realistic for me and just build from that. So my goal this month is to lose 10 pounds.

I’m so glad I found this discussion for 200 lbs plus. Looking to encourage and to be encouraged! 🥰

Good morning everyone!

It's Friday, can you feel it? I 100% can, even though today at work is going to suck.

Tag party!
@hap2go Oooh, yeah, maybe just the coconut cream part? It will be fun to experiment.
@goal06082021 yesssss I only ever freak out about my rolling average weight going up, since my cycle does nasty things to my water retention. It's nice to know you were on track all along!
@sandielewis2001 moving is the woooorst. I hope you get to a place where everything settles down soon!
@seltzer_lover NSV! NSV! NSV! *roots like a bunch of frat boys*
@vparks5915 I love that you still think you're sexy. I am the same- even at 220 I was checking myself out in the mirror, so you can imagine what happened when I got down to 155

You can do it! Do it for EVEN SEXIER you!

Nice little jump start, I know it will slow to a crawl immediately, lol.

Friday nights mean pizza and beer. I'm not compromising on the beer, but I'm going to see if I like the pizza wrap recipe from here:

https://youtu.be/FVjaC99eA28
We're having cheeseburgers this weekend, so I'm going to try her cheeseburger platter as well. I even bought the same seasoning! We'll see.

I'm bribing myself to go to work today with fancy coffee, but I've logged it and I'm compensating elsewhere and that is what it's all about. Happy Friday everyone!

roz0810 · March 2022

thank you ❤️😊 great loss for you too! 😁

@CupcakeCrusoe Love the Tuesday Supernatural meme! One of my friends is a huge fan and into the fandom so I always smile when I see a meme being shared into whatever topic.

I seemed to have fallen off since going to Disney mid Feb. Work was full on tight timelines coming back so I hadn’t come back to check in. Just kept logging onto the app at least.

Trip was better than last year’s with the friend. We found more for her to eat this time but planning next time could be better. I still don’t know what she eats. BUT she did consider me as a role model for being able to moderate foods without it destroying the day. I tried as best as I could. I was screaming for a salad after a day without a vegetable for the foods I could have. Found a salad without cut grape tomatoes so that was better.

I don’t think I posted it but one of the fights with mom I had, and I’m not sure on the exact words she said, but she picked at that either 1. Don’t buy junk food or 2. Don’t eat junk food according to her. Both are correct as I’m not diving into most things she has. I’ve kept my portions of desserts to what I can handle. All I could think of was – Good! That’s right I don’t. It’s a good thing.

Feb went fast as always. Just seems faster.

March. Excited for things at the end of the month. I’m going to another Horror convention like I went to last September. They have the original cast from Scream as I was hoping they would with the new movie out. Then going to Disney for their new spring RunDisney event. I couldn’t get in for the 5k but did for the yoga so I’m looking forward to that. I should be doing yoga on my own to prepare as I haven’t done some in a while. I’m assuming it’ll be old hat though, especially as it’s for all levels.

Keeping my March goal simple. While I saw 216 for 1 day last month I want to see it consistent and get past it. Getting started back at the gym. Staying small to get a routine and then increase.

March goal - lose 4 lbs -last month I lost 6.4 lbs. This is the longest journey I have ever been on, oh my goodness the absolute grind of it pfft. If it wasn’t for Lent, I am not sure that I could continue right now. But Lent is here, just when I absolutely need it! Praise be to God forever!

✝️Walk at least 3-5 miles every single day!
✝️Be patient! Remember that increments are where it is at, and focus on habits.
✝️Be consistent in logging, exercise, and weighing all food.
✝️Remember: Total loss of over 110 lbs!!

Since it was asked about motivation, I have this quote on my monthly goal sheet:

@ferousavocado quote: “You will never always be motivated, so you must learn to always be disciplined. There is no one big step that does it. It is a lot of little steps.The hardest part about weightloss is not diet or exercise - it's PATIENCE. It takes a long time. I constantly remind myself that we are in this for the long haul. We are in this for life! If I have a bad day, I log it and move on - the most important thing is getting right back to it the next day. It's about sticking with it. Dedication and persistence will pay off over time.”

danikat15 · March 2022

That about sums it up. I have been battling some anxiety in the last few days and just have a lot on my plate. Had one big splurge and I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I need some motivation back. Like just in general.

Dcotors call back on the 14th to see if I can go back on Orlistat (diet pills). Was on them in 2012 and lost 50lbs in 6 months. Hopefully will be able to get them again
