I love this thread too! I appreciate being able to celebrate little and big wins with others on the same journey. But it is just as important for me to read about other people’s successes. It really helps me stay positive and inspired. Keep those posts coming, everyone!

Today is Let’s Laugh Day. As I waked in a few minutes late to a meeting, one of my colleagues said “Apparently Elaine laughs a lot!” I gave her a puzzled look and she said that someone had just mentioned that laughing burns calories! It was a very creative way to say I’ve lost weight! 😂

I agree about the supersizing of American portions. I am grateful that my local ice cream shop offered offers a teeny tiny size. I always ask for a taster spoon to go with it.

Didn’t mind seeing myself in a full length mirror in yoga class.

Thought I had leveled off from buying new clothes but now I’m looking at swimsuits! It’s cold in Colorado but spring is just around the corner!

That is incredible! I’m a teacher too so I know how tough it is to get through to a difficult kid! It’s also inspiring to see how your healthy life choices are having an effect on other areas of your life. You go!

Easy Pose in yoga (sitting cross legged) is not st all Easy for me. But after about two months of sitting in Easy Pose every day, my right leg will finally extend down to hip level. And my left leg has extended a little further.

That’s a pretty big win! Nothing small about learning to not eat your feelings.

The other day I met with my coworker and she was eating microwave popcorn. I told her I appreciated that she didn’t ask me if I wanted any of her popcorn. She said “I did ask you but you said no like you always do so I didn’t ask again.” 😀 The habit is so strong now that I didn’t even remember her asking me! And popcorn is…

It feels uncomfortable when people don’t say anything about my weight loss. And it feels uncomfortable when people comment on my weight loss. Which tells me it’s just about my own insecurities. Same as when I was overweight.

So movie popcorn is my number one weakness. I went to the movies and still got popcorn, BUT about four handfuls in, eating slowly, I actually noticed that the oiliness tasted kind of gross and didn’t feel good either in my stomach. I was able to put the popcorn down and stop eating. I’ve been working so hard with eating…

I’m really really grateful to be at a healthy weight, with normal A1C. But at age 50 after losing 31 pounds my wrinkles are more visible! Has anyone experienced this? Should I moisturize? Drink more water?
-
Do you work with the exact same people as me? Lol. Okay and even when people ask and I answer with changing my eating habits, being super consistent, and exercising they choose what they want to hear. The last person focused on just exercising and ignored what I said about eating habits. And congratulations to you too!

Playing catch up on my JFT goals. I went to a big conference on Thursday and Friday. JFT goals are the same every day: No snacks after dinner. No second glass of wine. JFT Wednesday ✅ JFT Thursday ✅ JFT FRIDAY 🔥 crashed and burned on both! Today is a new day 🙏😀

I feel the same way in the teaching profession! I’m often on the floor with little ones and as a non classroom teacher I walk all over the school. But despite being a “healthy school” and not allowing sweets for kid celebrations, we continue to flood the teachers lounge with sugar.

My reticent dad commented on my weight loss! The other day he met me in a parking lot to help with car issues. He said he didn’t even recognize me because he’s not used to seeing me in a smaller size.

Met my JFT goal yesterday. One glass of wine, no snacks after dinner. JFT Wednesday No second glass of wine, no snacks after dinner, no chips before dinner. Thanks for welcoming me! Love the JFT concept.

Hi I’m a little late to the party but today is Lunar New Year! Or Chinese New Year or Vietnamese New Year. 2019 Goal: Maintain my current weight loss, which seems more challenging than the losing part. JFT: No sweets tonight after dinner. No second glass of wine. Did it last night. I can do it again tonight. And go to yoga…
