I'll keep popping in to read, but may not be posting much since no BL. Way too many different pages to catch up on now to take much time posting. Just remember to stay strong, stay OP, and always ask for help when you need it. TTFN, Sandi

5/21 100% Weigh in day too, and not good: 176 It's been a month of up and down on the same pound. Time to shake up the plateau.

5/20......100%

5/19....100%

5/18.......100%

5/17....100% Weighin: 175.4..... -1.0

TY all for the positive comments. I'm looking forward to the final pics when I reach goal. I'm sure all of you have great pics to share too. It took me over a year before I wanted anybody to see my before pic.

Here's my before and after so far. Still have 45 to go at the time of these pics. 5/15 NOT 100% 5/16 NOT 100% Maybe Sunday with no yard work or bingo, I can get back to OP

5/14 100%

5/13 100%

5/12 100%

Oh dear, summer is my worst time for over indulging in both food and drinks. I was hoping a BL Challenge would keep me in line. I will persevere!

Count me in, I just hope I remember to post every day. I will be using my Friday weigh ins. My name: Sandi My first weigh-in: 176.4 My goal for this 6 week challenge: 6 pounds My weigh-in day: Friday

Sure looks like it worked! I'll have to get on my laptop and fix mine. Wonder if I can add all my weigh ins to my chart. I hate that it shows a drop of 38# for the day I started logging here again.

Hey! I found you on my first search! Hope you are all doing great and losing it! I'll be bookmarking this thread for future check ins, so hope to see you all again soon.

I noticed comments that reducing carbs would be a good way of speeding up a slow gain. I agree with this in most cases, but she already said she almost doubles her daily protein most days. To me, that indicates possibly too few carbs. My ratios of carb/protein/fat are 50/30/20. If I were to double my protein and stay the…

When I get to the bottom of the page on the forums, yes I do see a little 1/2"x 2" ad box that scrolls through ad choices. Barely noticed, so really not an issue for me.

I too am 5'5", and at 176#. I also am almost 60, so with hormonal changes and a slower metabolism, weight loss could be slower for me. The 1200 is correct, but consider your range to be +/- 100. So between 1100-1300. If you are also working out, your calories on MFP will be increased. I, personally, do not try to consume…

I too noticed the crash diet of 6-7# per week in 3 weeks. My understanding about plateaus is that they last 2 weeks or longer with no weight loss. How could you have a couple of plateaus in just 3 weeks. Start considering this a true lifestyle change. A solid breakfast is important, and does jump start your metabolism. Try…

To find my groups, I click on more on the menu bar, then "community". Scroll to bottom of the threads, and all that I have posted in show up.

Since we all seem to like the scrumptious favors of the Greek yogurts, here's a little trick, but you'll need a mini muffin pan to try this. My pan makes 24 muffins, and I take four (4) 5.3 oz containers of Dannon Lite & Fit Greek (any flavors), and divide them into the muffins cups. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze.…

Mini frozen Greek yogurt bites. Spoon favorite Greek yogurt into mini muffin cups and freeze. Pop out of pan and single serve package to return to freezer. Only takes 2 or three cubes of frozen yogurt to satisfy a craving or raise blood sugar.

NS 50+ Support Gropu can be searched for and joined too, but most of the group is on weightlossbuddies.com To find them there, you can see instructions each day on the NS group site. I really not liking this transition time where everyone is posting both on new forums and on the old. Everyone is scattered to the wind.…

Hi all! I was Sandikc on the NS boards, hope to see lots of old friends here, plus meet new ones. If any of the old 'threads' are started anew here, please post the links. I'm sure everyone had their favorite spots, and might have trouble finding them on their own. I've already found 2 of my favs, just waiting for the rest…

I got here by following Amanda's link. I think key people from each group may be starting private threads by invitation. 50+ has one already. Shirley (smcinnis) started that one, so please friend her and request an invite if you would like to join us. We are all going to be scattered over so many sites and pages, I am…
