    July 15 - 173.8
    July 16 - 173.8 - I'm stuck at 173.X. It will move soon. B)
    July 17 - 173.8 - Yep, 3 days in a row, LOL. I've found a way to keep my cravings from hitting so hard in the afternoons. It's simple but it's working. I've flipped my oatmeal or shredded wheat from morning to afternoon. The complex carbs do the trick.
    July 18 - 172.6 - Finally, a drop! The old me tried to come out yesterday. I was donating to a cat rescue thrift shop and across the street was a convenient store. All the years I worked from home I would go out at lunch and get chips and diet coke even though I didn't have it in the house on purpose. Anyway, I was thinking just a small bag of salty, greasy, carby chips (how can I like those things) won't hurt. I then thought about all the work I've done to get where I am and also to get the scale to drop, and all the times I give in right before I'm going to have a drop. The problem is that one bag would lead to one more bag, etc., and my cravings will take off. I'm proud of myself, which seems weird to say, because on the surface it doesn't sound that bad to have just a small bag of chips, but for me it starts it all up again. Thanks for listening!
    July 19 - 172.6 - 172.X stuck for another day - YAY!
    July 20 - 172.6 - Wow, another weight showing up the same for 3 days straight. B) As part of my plan to eat more vegetables/fiber, I cooked two bags of organic carrots this morning. It's just too hot to roast them so I cooked them in my dutch oven on top of the stove with butter (I was out of olive oil), salt, paprika and garlic powder. I let them brown some and then a little chicken broth to remove from bottom of pan. They tasted so good. A serving was 67 calories and 5g fiber. I did not peel, I just scrubbed them really good.
    July 21- 172.6 - Groundhog Day on the scale again today. My plan to hopefully see a new LOWER number tomorrow is eat on the low end of my calorie cycyling, drink 80oz of water, and eat less carbs. We'll see if this does the trick. I'm good though because at least it's not going up. It's just weird having the same number 4 days straight.
    July 22 - 172.4 - I'm glad the .6 didn't show up today! I hate cooking so I tend to do anything fast and easy. Yesterday I threw a bunch of skinless, boneless chicken breast into my dutch oven with spices and a little chicken broth. I didn't even brown them first, just straight from the container to the pot. I cooked on 350 degrees for over an hour. I knew I would be shredding because they wouldn't be good any other way after cooking this way. I then steamed a large pot of broccoli. With these and the big pot of carrots from the day before, we can eat on these most of the week. My husband mixes with rice.

    July 17 - 173.8

    July 21 - 172.6
    July 22 - 172.4
    July 23 - 172.2
    July 24

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    @deepwoodslady Donna, have you tried one of the injectable meds? DD#1 took Mounjero (she’s not diabetic) she did really well losing cravings and hunger. She lost 40# but as has been publicized she regained some. As a diabetic the rules, I believe, are different. Dd#2 took Ozempic but didn’t have the drastic loss her sister had and she was paying a lot more so she stoped. Now even WW seems to be pushing the drugs.

    @chapter_3 did I miss what your one year challenge is?

    @SModa61 ~ I am right with you on the logic thing. When I'm in the right place, mentally, it's awesome, but lose that space and waking moment is a challenge. I don't have cat so I hope my scale remains in the downward position :)

    @itladyee not even my cat. DD and her family are on a summer vacation. So we have her two and our two. My boys don't sit on the human scale. Mr. Milo does cause he follows me into the bathroom in the morning hoping to convince me to head to the kitchen and fill his feeder, and he sits on my scale.

    But all 4 cats are very used to the infant scale as they are weighed on it regularly. My Han would be obese if not monitored and Harry would waste away. It's good to be able to check them more often than an annual Vet appointment. DD's get weighed by me every time I care for them, so much less often.

    Did I miss that you are not currently tracking? If so, what led you to this?

    @quiltingjaine Your DH does not have to know whether you ate the Hersheys. :)

    A few weeks ago, we were talking with Hubby's uncle who is diabetic. He mentioned his emergency bag. It used to contain capri sun juice pouches. Then Capri Sun went "healthier" and cut the sugar. I guess there is not enough in them anymore when in trouble. I suggested he look at the copycat products. Maybe they did not cut the sugar. Just an idea for something that could be kept in a purse, or the like.

    Don't hate me, but I want to share a summer fruit pie recipe I tried yesterday that tasted so good. I made it with blueberries, but it will also work with peaches. I put the recipe into MFP using the Swerve and it comes to about 190 calories per slice (8 slices per pie). Hubby LOVED it, too, because it didn't taste like a sugar substitute product. So for those of you who cook for others, this might be a good treat for your family.

    I don't know if you can see the recipes I put into MFP, but see if you see Russell Blueberry Pie. If not, here's the link to the recipe, but it uses sugar. I used equal amount of Swerve granulated. I know sugar substitutes aren't the best, but I don't use it very often. I didn't make a crust, but instead used the Pillsbury Ready Crust from the dairy section.

    https://natashaskitchen.com/blueberry-pie-recipe/

    @utmom81 I love recipes and thank you for sharing and swerve suggestion.

    I will pass on brief info on swerve. I got exciting about the recipe as I need to bring desert to my son's and his girlfriend's cookout this weekend, and DH and son KILL for blueberry pie. But Girlfriend has some sort of IBS, and low FODMAP concept is a tool I use for cooking safer for her. so I googled SWERVE. Results: Swerve contains erythritol and oligosaccharides, both of which are high in FODMAPS, which can cause digestive issues. Anyhow, I'll be making the pie and use the swerve suggestion, but not to bring over to my son's house. Thanks again Utmom81

    Edit to add: so I looked up which foods have oligosaccharides and they include the garlic, onion, and wheat that I know she cannot eat. Ironic thing is, guess what else has oligosaccharides? Blueberries. Ya, probably should not make her a pie with wheat crust, blueberries and swerve.........
