    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.
    Nov 11 188. Been doing doing. Ate some creamy pasta last night and woke up with a headache. But it’s gone now and getting lots of stuff done. Going to Taste of Sams today and hoping to be good. Lol.

    Heaviest weight: 289
    Ultimate goal weight: 190
    Starting weight: 271.2

    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.

    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.

    Nov 12: 267.1
    Nov 13: 263.9
    Nov 14: 263.7 It’s getting easier. I think I got this!

    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’m afraid I would go nuts on the weekend if I tried it that way. I have a tendency to compulsively overeat when left to my own devices. I’m happy it’s working for you!

    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!

    So far, so good! It’s been great not stuffing my face in the evenings! A little tough some nights, but drinking the water really helps.

    @AliceK813 I'm trying! 😂 Very little sleep last night, and I drank a lot of tea/water overnight, which I think pushed this number up this am. I do notice the longer I sleep, the better that number is in the morning.

    I need to test that theory. I could do with more sleep.

    This is my first week on MFP. I started last Friday. So far, so good. I have tracked all of my calories for 5 days, drank way more water than usual, and have done a small workout every day. My goal is to lose 2 lbs per week.
    Nov 3: 222 (-2 lbs)
    Nov 10: 221.4 (-.6lbs)
    Nov 17: 217 (-4.4 lbs)
    I lost 4.4 lbs this week! I am so happy. I didn't really do anything different than last week. Stayed on track with my food 100%. I only worked out 2 days at the gym. My poor kids have been sick with a bad chest cold and now the stomach flu. It has been a rough week. Normally, before MFP, I would have stress eaten all kinds of junk at a time like this. I would have justified it to myself because I am taking care of sick kids and I deserve it. Now, I am starting to realize that I deserve to be taken care of too, and I am the one that needs to do it! I feel a lot better already. I drink way more water now, I have more energy, and my stomach doesn't hurt in the morning.

    I save the bulk of my calories for dinner. I don't like feeling hungry, but I will suffer through a much lighter breakfast and lunch to feel full from dinner. It makes all the difference. If I'm not full, I will fall victim to snacking.

    @dutchgirl188 I hope your kids are feeling better soon. And congrats on limiting the stress eating -- I tend to do the "I deserve" thing too when I'm exhausted or overwhelmed. And it's great when you can feel the difference in what the foods do to you -- both the good stuff, and the less good stuff.
