    Nov 9 189. Been so busy and have had migraine after migraine. Hoping those are going to be less often with me cutting dairy out (or eating it way less). Went my happy place this past weekend (Disney) so hoping it will help my mood and focus. Eating lots of fresh fruits and veggies.

    You all are doing amazing!

    I hope you are feeling better, and that the limiting dairy helps ward off the migraines, @jennigerding19 .

    It's Friday, and I'm finally back down a few pounds. I really want to keep this downward trend. It would be so nice to flirt with 199 by the end of the year.

    Heaviest weight: 289
    Ultimate goal weight: 190
    Starting weight: 260-270 ?

    Nov 10: started back on MFP last week. Was on WW but I couldn’t stick with the plan. I’m scared to weigh myself hence the unknown starting weight. My goals for today are to stick with single portions and drink water. Baby steps.

    Welcome, @AliceK813 . My mom did well with WW. I found I couldn't stick with it.

    Take this at whatever pace you need to. We're all working to go in the same direction. Wishing you success!

    Jumping in late but here we go! My coworkers and I started a 10 week weight loss challenge this past Monday and I'm bound and determined to win the pool...or at least not come in last...haha.

    I'm basically just drinking a ton of water, eating veggies for snacks and following a 16/8 intermittent fast schedule. I've been fasting from 6:30pm to 10:30am.

    This morning, as I was working in my office (today's a remote day for me), my husband was making a breakfast sandwich for himself. The delicious smells wafting down the hall were k*lling me. He came in for something and I snapped at him. I apologized and said, "Sorry, I'm just hungry right now and I still have two hours to go." He said, "Just eat something and try again tomorrow."

    No sir..I won't just "try" again tomorrow. Because when I do that, it turns into trying for 15 years and I'm just done with that!

    Nov 1: 193.0 Candy has been everywhere and I have partaken way too much. That is done. My knee is painful w/arthritis onset and that is impacting activity (scary what this portends). Back to better habits. Drink the water!!!

    Nov 11: 271.2 Finally weighed myself this evening. I’ve decided to try intermittent fasting on a 16:8 schedule. This is my first night of fasting. It’s tough because I’m so used to eating nonstop from the time I finish dinner until I go to sleep at night. I know this will take some getting used to.

    I lost .6 lbs this week. I was hoping for 2 lbs but I will take it. I was completely on track with my diet and exercise so I know it will come off eventually. I have started weight lifting at the gym again ( after years of hardly doing any exercise) and walking on the track for a mile. Hopefully I will be down more than .6lbs next week! I also didn't binge on my kids Halloween candy which is a huge accomplishment for me! I hope you are all doing well!

    I'm trying 16:8 too, but only during the week. Then on the weekends, I'm just making sure that I'm drinking a ton of water and not going overboard with eating. You got this!!!

    I hope you find the Intermittent Fasting helpful, or at least incorporate it in some way that works for you and you see results. You've got this!

    Excellent! And glad to hear you're working your way back to the gym. Please have patience with yourself. As you start lifting and working out, you may see your weight go up a bit before it starts coming down. Don't lose confidence; just keep going with this. You're on the right path.
