How do you all handle hunger? I am just starting out with this lower calorie goal and trying to eat lots of protein and fiber, but sometimes I still feel hungry. I think I need to tweak my meals and snacks slightly, to eat a little more snacks and focus on high volume foods in general.

@jennyell85 - Hunger is a tricky beast to tackle. I usually start by taking stock of everything else in my body, making sure I don't actually just need water or sleep or a shower or something else besides food.

High protein/high fiber is a great way to go about it, but sometimes you just need a little something extra. One of my go-to "extra" snacks as of recently has been blueberries and a small scoop of chocolate chips to satisfy my sweet tooth. I like taking little bits of a bunch of different foods and putting them all on the same plate - the variety in flavor makes me feel like I've eaten more than I have.

Woot, go team for last week )

Well, my weekend commitments didn't go that great. I managed to stay off the snacking but def didn't get my steps in. Going to attempt to meal plan for the week at least.

I’m so relieved. I haven’t lost anything for 3 weeks it’s so weird. I’ve been lifting heavy and watching my macros and eating 1400-1500 calories and nothing on the scales. Glad I stuck with it, it’s so hard to trust the process when you’re trying so hard and don’t see any results. Phew !!

@fknlardarse - Look at that! I love seeing proof of the process, it's so hard to hold on. Way to stay consistent!

Not the direction I want to go in, but I'm glad it wasn't a bigger gain. Hoping for a loss next week! Want to keep going and really just want to get closer and closer to 200!

When are steps due in? I keep forgetting-sorry
Here are the past weeks steps. I might have doubled up what I sent last time ( I forgot then too)

@blessedgrandma5 - Steps for the previous week (in this case, Feb 2nd-8th) are due on the following Wednesday (Feb 12th), although Melanie has been quite lenient with letting people submit later than that.

Sorry, my steps are horrible this week. I started my new job so it was a lot of computer work. Saturday I did walk on the treadmill and did a piyo video and then went to the store so I got a lot of steps. I feel Sundays I don’t always get a lot of steps because I get sucked into watching ncis and have a lazy day. Starting this weekend I have something to do every weekend for the next few months. We have birthday parties to be at, my oldest granddaughter does competition cheer every weekend for 4 weeks, my other granddaughter will be playing tball so we will be at games. I love to go watch everything my grandkids do. Im hoping my grandson will want to get into something now that he’s turning 3. Im hoping to get my work schedule so I can get into a workout schedule. My back and leg are killing me tonight, I had to take a lot of meds and I’m wearing a lidocaine patch. I’m hoping something kicks in soon.

@minstrelofsarcasm I just saw your message from the end of January. Sorry about that. Things were a little bit crazy. I am slowly getting back to normal and back on track. Please let me know when I would be able to rejoin. Thanks! 😊

@dorisv207 - If you're ready to come back, I can put you back on the spreadsheet as early as now. Just let me know when you are ready, what your starting weight would be, and what day you'd like to weigh in. After that, you're good to go!

@minstrelofsarcasm
I’m ready!
My highest weight (starting weight prior to my hiatus) is 210. Weight as of today 197 which I assume will be my new starting weight. I’d like my weigh in day to be on Fridays. Thank you!

@dorisv207 - You got it! Welcome back!

@BodyTalking
I have struggled with that rut too. How I have gotten out of it are a couple of simple things. First off, take a hot shower. It sounds simple but there is something about having the water rejuvenate you. Also, find time get some sunshine. It is hard where I live because it is so cold right now. But I try to do what I can get some sunshine in somehow. And lastly-just do it. Force yourself to move. Put on workout videos. There are so many options there. Fiton app has great ones, and they are free. Youtube has a lot.

Thank you 🤗

I felt encvigorated after a shower and a short brisk walk to the underground perked me up (I got dressed before going out 😂). If I could do that, even on days that I don't need to go out, I think it will help me be more enthusiastic to get moving. Sunshine dies soar in winter here, it was nice at the weekend and beginning of the week, all white sky and snowy now though.

Happy Friday All! I’m glad to be back. I definitely need motivation. These winter days having me feeling blah 😑 Hopefully I’ll be able to get to the gym next week. We shall see. I’m my own worst enemy right now 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway hope you all have a great weekend!

Here is my info for my first week back
