Hi everyone,
My name is Julie. I’ve been in and out of this group many times. Consistency is my problem. Today I am starting at 168.6 lbs, 5’9” and I am 48.

I use to happily bounce around 145-150lbs without having to carefully watch my diet because my job was very active and stress free and allowed time for workouts.

In 2015 I went back to school and changed my job to high stress and shift work. 20 lbs boom! And have not been able to get it off. Yo-yo to 155 then I go work 4 12-16 hour shifts and it’s wrecked.

This year I am going back to my old career. So excited for this change.

Start 168.6
Goal 145

Jan. 1 -168.6

andreajlnhe · January 1

Hi All! I'm a 46-year-old married mom of five. I started this group in September at 141 pounds (overweight for me at my height) and have lost about 11-12 pounds overall since then. I always gain some weight around Christmas; I love the cookies, truffles, and eggnog etc. I allowed myself to just enjoy those things and slack off some; however, it's time to get back to the routine! My goal for January is to log and weigh every day, and to lose 3 1/2 pounds. I'm setting my goal a tad on the aggressive side because I suspect that some of my gain from the end of December is not only fat but water and such.

Ultimate starting weight 160.0 pounds
January goal: 126.0 pounds

January 1: 129.6

deepwoodslady · January 1

So I've been putting some thought into this chocolate gift from my youngest daughter..... I think I know what may have happened. Sometime in December she & I were out of town together and I ran into an Aldi's to pick up my dark chocolate. They have a brand called Moser Roth which comes in various amount of cocoa and cocao. I will buy it as high as a 90% content although this last time it was 70%. She asked me about it because of my diabetes and I told her that I find having a square at night helps to stave off my chocolate cravings and that the extra benefit is that it is an antioxident.

I have noticed that in all that chocolate she bought, most of it is dark chocolate. Of course, having a Lindt dark chocolate truffle is not the same as having a 70% or higher cocao piece, but I'm sure she does not understand that because I did not fully go into it or explain it to her. I'm sure she thought it would be something I would love and something I could really use.

What she doesn't know is that I don't eat a square EVERY NIGHT for 365 days. I eat it on occasion when it fits into my macros and when I have a particular craving for something sweet. This is why I like that brand. When you open the bar up, it actually consists of about 5 smaller separately wrapped little mini candy bars that contain 2 squares. It is easy to break it apart, keep the other half in the wrap and put the wrap back into the main bar for safekeeping. It keeps it fresher than just buying a big hunk of a bar. (I'll post a pic for clarification). Anyway, I don't think her gift was an attempt at being brutal. I just think she has misunderstood and so my intention first and foremost is to explain this to her (or the candy may never end).

My plan for the candy is to share with everyone in the family. A little to each family will not be too hurtful. I will ask them not to let her know because she is still quite fragile with all she is going through. Also, I know that she made a big financial leap here that she couldn't afford just to try to provide me something she thought would help. The others will understand and keep it under their hats. I am also going to share the candy with her as she love chocolate, although she is a tiny little person who picks at it and has such wonderful control that I just don't have yet. I will talk to her about my diabetes and explain that I don't eat it everyday. I will ask her to choose some to take home (a lot if possible), whatever is left after this, I will follow Tish's advice ( @tiabirdie56 ) and freeze the rest in my deep freeze that is in the garage since I actually can use some of it. However, I need to keep only the darkest of chocolate since that is where I have the most control. I am not CRAZY about dark cacao so the control is built-in. I know that this plan will not be the most popular with many of you, but I think it can protect my daughter's feelings, be a blessing to some of the other kids/grandkids and still help me to, especially since all my cacao has to be bought out-of-town. I absolutely will not pawn off too much to just one person to create problems for someone else. I will be careful and thoughtful.

Well that's my plan and I'll do my best to stick to it. I've worked too hard on my weight AND by glucose numbers so that will be my guiding force and light going forward. I've had many good ideas on a couple of different challenges and I thank you all for your input. By combining some of your ideas, I think it's a good plan. I will be having ANOTHER talk with my daughter, but this time I will explain things better to her and leave no room for questions. She is not a sabotaging kind of person, honestly. She is just a little thing that does not understand the challenges I face as an obese person (food control). Her heart was in the right place this time I do believe. As for the wine, I will have no problem controlling that. The Martini & Rossi Asti (sparkling wine) is one of my favorites. She bought little 4 packs of that which provides about 2 nice pour wineglasses each. That will last me a long time. She also bought one large bottle which I will not pop open until I have a social occasion or family gathering where it can be shared. Control with alcohol is not a problem for me.

@melwillbehealthy,

First, you are my hero for losing over 50 pounds already. Quite an accomplishment.

Second, I’m going to predict you will soon beat diabetes when you continue to lose weight at the rate you are going.

Third, Happy New Year! You are a dancing fool. That is meant as a compliment.

Fourth, you show great judgment by only watching polar dips.

Your post made me smile. I’m glad you are in this group. I’m looking forward to hearing more posts from you that make us smile.

I forgot to say welcome back to everyone. I'm so grateful for all the support that gave me in 2023, and look forward to our continued friendship in 2024.

For all the newcomers - hope you find this group as encouraging as I do. Don't let the scale derail you - there are no judgements here - post every day regardless even if it is to say you didn't weigh today. Keep coming and I guarantee you will have success.

@Melwillbehealthy So glad you had a good time. Sounds like a wonderful night.
@andreajlnhe You got this - I bet you are right and it will come off quicker than the last 12 pounds.

@happyhiker24 You are just about where I started a year ago. I too said I just need to get out of the obese category. I met that goal in Sept (I was a little heavier than you to start). You will have your ups and downs - don't fret it; don't let it stop your goal - just keep going. Slow and Steady - and you will get there!

@deepwoodslady Your plan sounds like a sensible one. Your trip to Aldi is probably your explantion; she gave it to you because she loves you. I think your plan sounds like a sensible one - if you need strength we are here for you. Isn't it funny how we pick our poisions? I too struggle with the chocolate (or worse a bag of chips), but a bottle of my favorite wine can sit in the fridge for months without a sip.
