I can’t stop my sugar cravings at night and I can’t sleep early due to child care. Any advice would be great 😔
If fruit doesn't scratch that sugar itch for you, I recommend dark chocolate covered almonds. If you stick to the portion size, you get a sweet treat with a little added protein. Another option I find helpful is a cup of hot tea, something calming/decaffeinated such as chamomile, with a teaspoon of honey to sweeten it. Added bonus of helping with hydration and sleep. Good luck! Brushing your teeth to cue yourself that your done eating for the night is great advice also!!
Great tips. I'm working on no added sugar right now to combat my cravings too. Things I've found helpful:
dates, apricots, mango slices (any fruit dried or dehydrated) make sure it doesn't have added sugar in it
chai tea or other flavorful tea
No artificial sweeteners (it intensifies cravings)
Sweet potato fries made in the air fryer (just toss in olive oil and salt)
Magnesium (I use natural calm and sip throughout the day)
Dark chocolate 95% lindt
Plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or kefir with frozen blueberries (imitation frozen yogurt)
After a few days of this I found my sweet tooth getting milder and milder. Now it's been 16 days of no added sugar for me and I've completely lost interest in the old culprits.6 -

Total loss for February I am holding steady again week. I'm down about 1.5 pounds since January 28, but for the month starting on February 1, I am essentially unchanged. I am pleased to be holding steady again in maintenance. I'll call that a success for the third week in a row.

I won’t lie, this is very disappointing to me. But I’m still 14lbs down since the start of the year so that is an achievement. Ideally I’d have more of a loss but I guess there is still a week left of this month?! 🤞🏽😭 Who knows? 😅🥲9 -

Well, i will not be hitting my Feb goal but it doesn't matter, the overall number is going down.
Frustrating as my weight always goes up on a monday/tuesday, the number jumps up 0.5kg and i spend the rest of the week trying to lose that.6 -

Just turned 69, 5'6" with my only child's wedding happening about 7.5 months from now. (Think, Game of Thrones' "winter is coming" only substitute "photographer is coming")
Found out last week that I have gallstones, including one that's impacted and partially blocking a duct...surgery ahead, but for now it really focused my attention on getting as much fat out of my diet as possible. I even ordered the cutest little Vortex 1-serving air fryer, only $39.00 and in a happy pale blue color. Today I plan to christen it with mushrooms, brussel sprouts, asparagus, and green beans!
Then tomorrow I undergo a previously scheduled heart procedure (cardioversion, to get my heart out of the afib it began 4 weeks ago) so...it feels like a lot all at once. I doubt I'll hit my weight loss goal this month, but I will consider it a big achievement if I just continue to avoid stress eating and alcohol. So far, so good

Lost the count in 3 of the 7 days, but this week also had positive things, such as exercising more than last week. In any case didn't expected such a hike in my weight. This week I'll do much better.

Hi. I normally eat really low carb. Visited my mum, ate carbs and gained 10lb. Stopped the carbs and lost the 10lb again. Its just water weight. This last week I've been super strict on my diet, and doing an average of 10,000 steps a day. Having a real hard push to finally get to my goal before my 60th birthday in April!
Stick with it! It's taken me 20 months but so worth it6
