getting back to my pre-pandemic dieted weight and restarting my diet seriously.....pandemic cost me 30# in 4 months ugggggg

no surgery and in 9 months I am at a 55# loss. Another 20 before the end of the year I hope. Long term goal is 100 more in 18 months June 2021......slow and steady. Injuries have prevented working out so it has been all diet, Hope to change that soon!

Lisa 50 OH....if you figure out the snack thing, let me know....snacks are my major downfall. I have made some luck by always keeping sugar free jello in thee fridge (Royal jello has less calories than Jello brand - 1/2C= 5 calories v 1/2 C = 10 calories).

I gotta brag. I'm 56. On December 9th I weighed 311....today 278....I have a long way to go but 33 pounds is a start! I have serious mobility issues from an accident 5 years ago (I need a cane) and while I have had a gym membership for years, I rarely used it. In the past few weeks I have been going regularly and even have…

I hate plateaus/unexplained weight jumps......

Thank you all for such great advice.....I am going to the gym to try recumbent bikes and some seated lifting tomorrow (too much snow today!)

Hi all! I love reading messages in this group but have not said anything before this. I am 55 and actively trying to lose a lot of weight.....it's working, I'm down 30 pounds since December 9 when 311 absolutely frightened me. So far, my loss has all been dieting and I am trying to find a way to exercise. I am open to…

soups / broth help fill.....protein and veggies do keep you from getting as hungry

I am in....late to the challenge but I have been dieting since Dec. 9 so I hope I have a chance! CW 291 GW 261 Started 12-9-18 at 311.....goal, size 12

the diet seems harsh but if your doctor says so..... CONGRATULATIONS on your huge weight loss....remember, you need to make good eating habits you can stick with for the rest of your life

had this problem last night but today it is fine for me

You look great...and the loss makes your smile bigger!

I went off my very healthy eating/exercise habits because my ex husband made fun of me......I regained over 100Lbs over 9 years. Notice I said EX. It took me a few years to restart my healthy eating again. Because of a serious injury 2 years ago I have not had the chance to become an exercise junkie ---- YET :smile: As far…

In June of 2013 I badly broke my ankle and fibula ......I get around these days with a cane. I can not yet wear any heel over 1/4" without pain. My physical therapist and I found http://www.restrictedshoes.com/flats/ and these provide great support. Anything that ties up has a bit of support..... I have 4 pair that wear…

May I come? Another 75 lbs is just part of my goal......Since January I am already down 17lbs but am aiming to lose another 114+.

he was way too demanding for me :)

crocheting sounds doable.....have an injured leg and am on a cane so no play or shoveling for me this time!

and my BF just bought Girl Scout cookies.....ugggggg good thing I like him!

Thanks all! I know this is little.....but I feel guilty! Sadly I can't do much physically (injured leg) but I will deal......I am in this for the long haul but once I have cheated, it is just so easy for me to keep cheating!

I am pretty sure that someplace else in the universe life exists. Little green men? I doubt it! Theater / live events or movies /TV ?

pretzels (low cal and they seem so bad)

ALWAYS add fruit (strawberries or blueberries for me) to cereal......helps fill me up

Cheerios are part of my routine at least 3x /week

Just want to say you are not alone.....evening snacks are my downfall. Drinking hot beverages like tea seems to help. I try to eat at least 1 meal a day (dinner) with my partner and those meals are often my my most high calorie ones.....I have to plan for it.

:# Wonderful feeling!
