@RenaPink11 @quiltingjaine I was wondering about this too.
My dr has me on Vyvanse for binge eating. It has worked wonders for me!

3/23 - 176.2
3/24 - 175.4 - YAY!! The scale is finally moving again! Also, jogged for 20 minutes straight tonight for the first time in probably 35 years! 1.58 miles! I’m stoked!
3/25 - 174.8 - didn’t sleep much at all bc I was stressed and guilting myself over eating some pizza for dinner. Need to remind myself to get all of my water in!
3/26 - 175.2 - thin mint blizzard for our anniversary. Doing well with water today. I forgot to take my meds for binge eating - feeling ok so far that I can control it, but we will see what this evening brings. That’s my hardest time.
3/27 - 175.8 - umm, my scale is going the wrong way. I didn’t get in enough water yesterday. I also skipped the gym and spent 3 hours giving the inside of my car a good clean. My gosh! All of the dog hair in the cracks and crevices. 🤣7 -

Warmup (I skip as I warmed up with bodyweight workout) 1.5 min run, 1.5 min walk, 3 min run, 3 min walk, 1.5 min run, 1.5 min walk, 3 min run, 5 min cooldown.
THREE MINUTES?!?!?! I was struggling with 1.5! I'm really dreading this already but I best get going so I don't miss my work call in a short bit. Ugh. No dogs as BF isn't awake to take one and I can't take both while running.
My whiny butt did it. The first 1.5 was hard as there's an ever-so-slight hill once I'm out of my driveway and I didn't pace myself as well as I should've (I know better.... but I psyched myself out). It stays a fairly steady slight incline for about 1/2 mile. I was still on the incline when the first 3 minute run started, but I was prepared for it and paced myself much better. The second 1.5 minute run was on a much shorter, but steeper, hill so I was able to push to get to flat ground and continue going without too much of an issue. The final 3 minutes of running was heading home so down that ever-so-slight hill which allowed me to increase pace and really push to empty the tank. My time improved from that, too!8 -

@RenaPink11 Thank you! When I read your post earlier and was thinking about what medication could help me, I was thinking something that controls impulsiveness. I read info about Vyvanse and that is one thing it helps control among other things. That is so wonderful you have found something that works!! Thank you again for sharing!4 -

3/23: 234.4 (-0.2), BF%=32.2 (0.0). Last night I got to snacking with some Trader Joe's frosted shredded wheat nonsense. I ate (relatively) slowly and mindfully, but I probably still overdid it. I'm almost going to stop being lazy with my posting. I'm a bit behind at work, but I'm trying to make being a part of this group a priority, at least as much as I can.
3/24: 233.6 (-0.8), BF%=32.0 (-0.2). Snacking was fine yesterday. I'm having a physical today for the first time in more than 3 years. I'm not going to freak out until I have a reason to.
3/25: 235.0 (+1.4), BF%=32.3 (+0.3).
3/26: 234.6 (-0.4), BF%=32.2 (-0.1).
3/27: 234.0 (-0.6), BF%=32.1 (-0.1). I had a bad reaction to the shingles vaccine on Friday. I'm feeling better, but it was REALLY bad. I'm actually pretty happy to stay pretty close to the weight I was at the beginning of the weekend. Today I'm clearing out my garage in preparation for a contractor coming out to repair my roof. Should be some decent exercise (need to bring everything to my back patio, which is up a flight of stairs).8 -

You're very welcome! I was recently diagnosed with B.E.D. after years and years of struggling. I begged for help for years and my dr at the time was not listening. I switched doctors about 3 years ago and Feb of 2022, I finally got up the courage to tell him that I needed help. He said "Ok, then let's get you some help" I cried. I found a doctor that would finally listen! He sent me to a dr here in town that specializes in nutrition and weight loss. I participate in their "Healthy Eating & Living Program" (HELP) and after a very long first session of answering all the questions and screenings, she sat me down and told me "your brain has different pathways than those that can control their hunger - your brain has learned to give you food as a "protector" - (childhood trauma) and is now sort of hard wired that way. But it's OKAY and I will help you." I cried again!! These doctors have changed my life and for the FIRST TIME in my 45 years, I feel that I can actually sustain this way of life for the rest of my life! The Vyvanse is used for binge eating as it was not originally intended for binge eating, but ADHD (which I have ADD, so Bonus!) but they found as a "side effect" it helps greatly with controlling binges. So it has been approved to be used for it. It has literally changed my life! It is expensive if your insurance doesn't cover it. I used their coupon program last year and then switched my insurance this year. I still have little breakthroughs, but I'm not downing 2,000 calories on a binge. Now it's few and far between (I've noticed when it should be my TOM is when it's greatest) I may hit an extra 300-400 calories. But I forgive myself and move on. I was embarrassed at first and didn't want anyone to know this about me. But someone out there is "me" and I know how it feels so I decided there's no shame and I'm sharing. ps. Insurance is required to cover "nutritional counseling" and this is what my HELP program falls under. My insurance will not cover any weight loss surgery. This medicine gave me the tool that I needed to continue getting healthier.6 -

SW RND 218
3/23 169.6
This morning I played pickleball for 3 hours with my friends and had a fantastic time burning calories without even trying. I had a huge, delicious salad for lunch and then my day got out of control and at 9pm I was begging my husband to bring me some food to where we were visiting. He brought a little bit of peanut noodles and peppers, and a tiny bit of potato salad. So I ended up being way too far under my calories for the day, but wasn't hungry when I went to bed.
3/24 168.2
It's been a hectic day and I got no dedicated exercise, just steps from errands and life. I did great with water and food. Had a yummy turkey sandwich for lunch, a banana and protein shake for snack, and dinner was roasted sweet and russet potatoes, chicken apple sausage with onions, spinach and chickpeas, and mango and grapes. I feel satisfied. My family will be at my daughters' dance competition all day tomorrow so food is likely to be a struggle (takeout and snacks), stress level will be high, and no real exercise will happen. But lots of steps. We shall see!
3/25 No weigh in today as we left super early for dance competition. Spent 16 hours there and traveling. No dedicated exercise but lots of steps. We ordered sandwiches for lunch and mine came loaded with mayo on white bread even though I ordered wheat with no mayo. Ate it anyway, felt sick. Had pizza for dinner. Not the most balanced, but it was fine. Stayed under calories and missed my veggies.
3/26 166.6 Apparently the weird food choices yesterday didn't do too much damage. Got back on track today with a protein shake and awesome salad, but got nauseous halfway through the salad because I took my vitamin before eating it. Now I feel both queasy and hungry. About to head to a family dinner. It's always hard to track at these things. Not stressed though, I can do it. Any suggestions for a women's multivitamin that won't make me feel sick?
3/27 167.6 Family dinner last night was french bread pizza, garlic rolls, and chocolate chip cookies. I stayed within calories, but still feeling it today. Got up early and spent the morning at the gym. Back on track with food and water too.

@renapink11 - Thanks so much for sharing this! Lucky for me I am going to see my psychiatrist on Thursday so I am definitely going to ask about this! Thanks again! (And yes, we are basically the same person.)

Male: 65
6’-2”
OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016)
OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205
Goals for this round:
1. For 2023, avoid a repeat of 2022 lack of discipline.
2. Stop whining.
3. Log my food daily… That is how I lost my weight before.
Round 218 Posts
This is my posting format….
Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.
/ Logged Food; Exercise – yesterday / Comment
Previous posts:
3/23: 222.2
/did not log yesterday; did not exercise/
This round I will not get worried about the scale reading, but I MUST log what I eat so I can see how it affects the scale.
Today’s breakfast is logged.
The last three days of the round I will not be able to weigh, due to a short fishing trip. And the food will be of the “unsupervised pack of rudderless males” variety. I will log every bite and sip, and step on the scale first day of the next round.
I did manage a good exercise session on Monday. Hoping to continue with more consistency.
3/24: 221.6
/Yes I logged it all; no exercise – about 29% over the goal /
Yesterdays food was a bit of a challenge to log because the Rotary lunch speaker talked about Latvia, after serving some Latvian specialties for lunch. Delicious.
3/22: 222.8
Starting weight at “end” of last round, most of which was spent AWOL.
3/25: 224.0!
/logged it; walked/
DW birthday celebration at friends night before.
3/26: 225.0! Help!
/logged all; no exercise/
More DW birthday, plus TMI issues.
3/27: 222.4
/logged; walk/
And today is DW actual birthday, so another little outing tonight.

3/23: 131.8 - A quick binge the night before is not the best way to start this round.
3/24: 131.4 - Still succumbed to some evening snacking, but it was at least within calories.
3/25: 132.1 - No workouts yesterday and did not really track evening eating.
3/26: 133.4 - This round is really going off the rails. 6 days to turn this around.
3/27: 132.9 - Focus, focus, focus. Eating wasn’t entirely great, but better than the last few days.

It is not ungrateful to express your thoughts. I would tell her, somehow. When you are doing everything you can to be nice to your body and your health, sometimes you need to be more grateful to yourself. We do enough to sabotage ourselves. Why invite others to contribute? There was a person recently (sorry i forget who) who told her husband that albeit sweet he brought her a candy bar on Fridays, it had to stop. As far as I know they didn't divorce lol. My mother was from the "finish your plate" Era. Took me decades to ignore that in her company. It is very sweet of her to assist but if you feel it's counter productive then I side on being grateful to you.6 -
@clprieur my inspiration slide show is just a little app I wrote that allows me to add photos, images, and text quotes to slide shows. It's not anything that couldn't be achieved by creating a slide show using Google photos or the Apple equivalent. So I just load it up with photos of my progress, images of my weight loss graphs, and a bunch of motivational quotes. I put on some background upbeat music and watch it flip through the photos and quotes. I also find just updating it a bit helps me stay focused too.5

This challenge will end just as I start a planned diet break in April. I am actually nervous about it. Will I go completely of the rails? Will I be able to stick to maintenance? Will I be able to get back in to it after it is over? I will find out soon!
For these challenges I think I do better if I only have a few goals. So this round I will still keep to the basics: calorie counting and at least 22 active minutes per day.
3/23: 162.7 lbs
I had a hungry day and ate close to maintenance. I was also very inactive step wise although I did reach 22 active minutes on the elliptical but didn't do my usual walk. I am glued to my desk all day. I usually only get up twice: once for a cup of tea and once for lunch and a toilet break. I really should drink more water to force me to get up more often but I feel self conscious getting up a lot. Everybody is glued to their desks where I work.
3/24: 163.8 lbs
The kids made cookies and I ate too many. So stupidly I thought I would just count the cookies for dinner to stay within my calorie limit. Well obviously things went very wrong! Why in that moment I didn't say "well I will just eat the dinner I had planned" I don't know. Actually I do know. I think the big sugar hit caused me to overeat later when my blood sugars tanked. I will just chalk it up to experience and move on.
3/25: 164.0 lbs
I ate too much at dinner and didn't reach my active minutes goal. I will have to look at my inspiration slide show to help give me some motivation back.
3/26: 163.6 lbs
I achieved my goals for the day.
3/27: 162.9 lbs
I achieved my goals for the day. TOM arrived too and I usually get a bit of a whoosh after it starts (but not always).

The NIH released the results of a study they funded recently that suggested that higher blood levels of erythritol were associated with increased risk of heart attack and stroke. It seems to encourage blood clotting for a few days after eating it.

@refactored Wow! Thank you for the heads up. I also use Monk Fruit because it is natural but I understand it is very difficult to get hold of so it's actually usually cut with erythritol too. I think that just leaves Stevia and that leaves a bitter after taste. Why does it have to be so hard?1 -

Day/Weight/Comment
03/22 …..188.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/23 -188.4- (Trend weight 190.0)
03/24 -188.0- (Trend weight 189.8)
03/25 -187.2- (Trend weight 189.5)
03/26 -187.8- (Trend weight 189.3) Go figure! It was another very good day food-wise. Got in a bit of exercise but otherwise not a lot of activity as I still continue to baby my blood pressure so maybe that explains the uptick? Anyway….I travel today to my DGS’s 4th birthday in another town. I usually don’t log when the food (and dessert) is out of my control or too complicated (even though logging is NEVER a bad idea). I do plan to enjoy the day. I’ve actually saved a few calories and carbs back over these past few days to help offset the damage at least a little. In regards to my glucose numbers (since last seeing the idiot dietician). My morning fasting numbers (usually the lowest of the day before food) was running 300-525. Those are EMERGENCY ROOM numbers for many but my body got very used to it and I actually didn’t even feel that bad. Since ignoring my dietician by counting my calories AND my carbs, incorporating some Intermittent fasting (against her advice) and doing what I know works FOR ME, my morning glucose readings are now 130-165. I think I could get them even lower if I tried because I have been eating sugar-free jello almost every night with sugar-free cool whip but they contain artificial sugars (which are not Natural sugar-free sugars) so they spike my glucose. I recently found on the Walmart website that they sell a keto friendly whipped topping that is made with monk fruit so I will start buying that when I’m out of town. I also found on Amazon that the vitamin company Swanson sells a sugar-free jello made with Erythitol (spelled wrong) and Stevia, both of which do not spike the glucose. It is double the price of Jello brand (it’s about @2.50 per small 4 serv box I think), but it will help my glucose numbers so I’m ordering a bunch. What I can’t yet give up is my nightly piece of Russell Stovers sugar-free dark chocolate candy which uses an artificial sweetener. I’m just not there yet. But progress is progress, right? I did learn to really enjoy the 90% dark cacao chocolate when I was on Keto. It was the Sam’s club brand but I haven’t been able to find it at Walmart lately so it’s just been me and Russell.
03/27 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) Nope. I’m not even gonna look! The birthday party was very nice and so was the food. I have 4 out of 5 days of travel this week which is never good for me. Also, my bp dropped badly again so I am back to laying around (no exercise allowed) babying it until the cardiologist figures out what to do. The one thing I’ve learned is that if I don’t move, I don’t lose. In fact, if I don’t move, I gain. Even when my calories and carbs are kept low. So I am going to wait until closer to the end of this challenge to weigh in again. I will check in daily with all of your posts. I will do my best to make good choices during my travel days. I can’t bear to be discouraged right now. I’m going through enough as it is!
03/28 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)
03/29 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)
03/30 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)
03/31 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)
04/01 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
