That scale. Blessing and Curse.
It can be very discouraging when you suddenly jump up 3 Lbs and then .5 the next day. It doesn't really mater to my lizard brain that I dropped 21 LBS in 17 days. A lot of that was water weight due to a medication change. I'm sure the upswing was just my body adding some water weight/waste weight back and it will start to…

Halfway Progress Photo - 62 pounds down

Only eating out 2 nights a week and high fiber, high protein, meals. Replaced candy with fruit. Please add me if you want to join me on the remainder of my journey!

You should expect to lose 1 to 2 lbs a week. When i started this again on July 4th I had great success and then I went on a nearly month long…

Brooks Runners
Firstly, I aspire to be a runner. Currently I carry too much weight and in an aging body I am overly cautious about joint damage. I danced and played soccer ⚽️ all my youth, went back to play a season around age 45 at my heaviest weight because if I couldn’t move for something I loved I might as well be dead. I lived…

Eating 1500 to 1800 Calories
I've been at this for 2 months and a I feel great. I'm only tired when I dont sleep enough. I started at 386 (scale) one July 4 and now Sept 7 i'm at 348. I'm thinking 19 Lbs a month is no safe. Some of it is probably a change in medication though that removed edema from both of my legs. I can now see the veins in the top…

Yo-yo dieter, seeks healthy relationship with food!
Hello 👋 For most of my life I have been on one “diet” or another. The last 6 years have been extremely challenging mentally, however after a humongous amount of work I am now content 🙌 My next challenge is to finally tackle the weight (which has sadly got out of all proportion - unless I’m next to a walrus). Next year I…
