    Good evening everyone. I hope you had a great weekend.
    Calories 2650 or close. Way to much sugar. Cookies, chips, ice cream bar.

    Back to the Dr tomorrow. Should get the tube out. Hope I get cleared for exercise. I will step on the scale tuesday.

    Hmmm ... I thought I'd do better this week with increased exercise and watching what I eat but I'll take a drop over the alternative.

    Sorry I have been MIA for a couple of weeks. I haven’t done much but lay around, read and eat since I got sick. Today I feel almost normal so hopefully this means I am finally on the mend.

    Loss .6

    Nice loss! You have definitely are not stuck at the weight that caused you problems in the past. What do you think you did differently this time around than previous weight loss attempts?

    Hmmm that’s a really good question. The one thing I am doing now that I never tried before was IF. I can’t help but wonder if I have healed or am healing my insulin resistance this time around. I am not snacking at all and eating only two meals per day.

    I also am trying to consciously reduce my stress levels with focused breathing, meditation, walking the prayer labyrinth, etc. I am monitoring my sleep and the quality of my sleep this time around.

    I’m drinking plain filtered water, not adding anything for flavoring at all which is part of the IF protocol and maybe that has made some difference. I do think that not having flavoring helps to not trigger hunger. I am starving after having just a small sip of grape juice for communion on Sunday morning. Usually I don’t have lunch until much later but after communion I have to go home and eat. So flavored water was probably triggering hunger and snacking even though I didn’t realize it.

    I’m not exercising as much this time around. In the past I walked 15k steps a day and did more other focused exercise, maybe too much cardio. Right now I try to limit my focused exercise to 45-60 minutes per day 5 days a week. I would like to walk more than I am doing now but it’s hot and humid here in the south so I’m in the summer doldrums.

    I am trying not to over do the fruits this summer, limiting to one serving per day, fructose is not my friend, it makes me hungry. So I am using an apple or a serving of berries as a dessert at the end of one of my meals if I feel like I need something more.

    I’m not losing as fast right now but I am so happy to be still losing when I am below 230 as I stalled there before for so long. When I look back at this list I see I am doing a lot of little things different this time around. Who can really say what makes the most difference maybe, it is not any one thing but the combined effect of a lot little things.

    Nice loss!

    @nekishaearly637
    Nice loss and amazing steps. You lost almost a pound so that is great after a big loss. I hope you had fun at Disney.

    @Cheesy567
    Another loss! 👏👏👏

    @JaysFan82
    I know you can do it.

    @rwood566
    Good luck today! Are you going to go back to the gym or start with walking?

    @jimboden3
    Every loss is a step towards goal.

    @Morethanjustanumber
    I am glad you feel better. You have such great insight into what you need to do for weight loss. You are checking all the boxes, self care, exercise and diet.

    Steps: 3,403
    exercise: none
    log food: yes

    Still having stomach issues. I am trying to eat more while figuring out which foods to avoid. The hardest one is going to be coffee. 😢

    Tomorrow is my overnight trip to Niagara to see the concert. Wednesday my kids are taking me out to dinner for my birthday and Thursday some of my friends are doing the same. It will be tricky eating out when I have to avoid so many foods.

    Question: When did you start struggling with your weight? What age did you try your first diet?

    Probably since I was 5. First diet was around age 18.

    Down 4 lbs for the week, 6 lbs for the month. On the right track! Increased activity and portion control works. :smile:

    I struggled with my weight after having my son ... I ballooned up to 240 and had a hard time losing it ...then 6 years later I had my daughter ..I was 260 when I delivered her... I have been on every diet you can think of ... what is working for me now is IF and keto and now low carb and lots of walking :)
