I’m feeling good about my progress! I need to incorporate more workouts, as my progress is primarily due to intermittent fasting. Let’s go!

Little bit of a slower start for August, but I kind of expected that as my focus right now is just diet changes. I'm planning to add in more exercising soon so hopefully that will help more. Still, I'm happy with my numbers so far.

Hi Everyone. At my heaviest.
MFP worked for me before some 5 yrs ago, helping me lose 37lbs. Pound by pound, I gained it all back, along with an additional 20 lbs. This is going to have to be a lifestyle change this time around. Too difficult to do this any other way. Consistency is the only magic pill that I know works. Stay focused. Wishing you all much success!

@Juslilly Your goal numbers (169 lbs and eventually 140 lbs) are exactly the same as mine! I have a bit longer to go though, because I started at 270.9 lbs. Looks like you're doing great, keep it up!4

Thanks so much takinitalloff! However long it takes doesn’t matter, just as long as the scale continues to move in the right direction. One pound at a time…2

I am home. My scale was so upset with me I had to tell it in the App that it was I that had logged in.
Only did two hikes.
I brought the puppy along for one of them next year will be easier because puppy will be capable of doing long hikes. Puppy will need long hikes. Ate so very very much.
Now I should be fresh and focused for a while I hope. I can feel my joints going I thought we agreed to that sugar and fine wheat don't agree with us.

I liked barbie. My husband claims he has never seen me with painted nails before. But we have only known each other for 14 and a half years so that is not so odd.2 -

I am in ketosis and feeling great. Barely any cravings. I think the most challenging part of losing weight and maintaining a healthy diet is that other people have an emotional reaction to it. My theory is that they think I am judging them, but they are actually judging themselves. Their judgment against themselves makes them uncomfortable so they attack/compete/sabotage/avoid me. It is tricky to navigate.

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change
08/01-193.6-(Trend Weight: 195.2)- I’ve changed my goals to 4 pounds per month instead of 5. That is one even pound per week with the half week being allowed for normal fluctuations or special occasions or travel. Seems easier and more realistic. Good luck in this new month, my friends. I hope we can all take advantage of the rest of summer and make every choice count. I’m rooting for you all!
08/07-195.8-(Trend Weight: 195.6)- This has not been a good week obviously. It contained 3 bad days: One day of travel, One day of a festival and One day of Bingeing. Day 3 was really just a craving fest after two days prior of being off plan. It’s really just easier to stick with the plan. I’m back on track now. The scale actually rose higher and I’m getting it back down but I have my work cut out for me. I just need to believe in myself and make my actions speak louder than my words.

I'm over the moon with the fact that I'm in the 240's now. For years I was stuck thinking I would never be able to get down into the 250's again... and now I not only reached the 250's, but put them behind me in less than one month's time! Incredible what dedicated meal planning can do.
