Definitely let some bad habits sneak in- not tracking everything, snacking more, junk foods- hoping I can get back on track and refocused this week. My…

I think about this thread often and what I should post. I go through daily activities and try to pay attention to things that are different than before. At first I couldn't come up with anything that felt "victorious" enough to post. But as the weeks have gone by my list has been getting longer. Maybe not victories but…

@wyhorzegal I will have to see if I can find the article I read recently that talks about the importance of sleep in relation to weight loss. It basically said that if you don't get enough sleep you will struggle to lose weight. I find that when my sleep is on point (consistent and enough!) the weight comes off much easier.

Thanks @wyhorzegal and @Djou11! The biggest change is that I cut way back on sugars- I had no problem eating an entire bag of swedish fish in one day. And along with that cut out breads, chips, soda. That was hard, and still is. About 3 months in my doctor suggested I do two weeks on a high protein/low calorie plan, like…

This makes100lbs down from when I started my journey back to health 11 months ago. It has not been easy, but it does feel good to be here now!

Sprained my ankle last week so I haven't been able to work out. Trying to make good food choices to compensate for no gym time.

Thank you @craigo3154! This group definitely help keep me on track! I'm in southeastern Ohio, finally a sunny day. Hoping the rivers will recede and things can dry out.

Hi All! I'm Emily. January was my first month and I have loved the accountability and support. My goal for February is to maintain my gym routine (2-3 days of weights, 2-3 days of cardio/week) and to eat cleaner, less processed stuff. Good luck everyone!!

Hope all goes well today!!

My surgery was 10/20. I'm looking to add more friends too, especially others that have had VSG.

This week I am working on setting a routine I can stick with for exercise. I found myself finding excuses to not go in the evening after dinner. So I am trying the morning after dropping kids at school and before work. I am limited to 30-35 minutes, but that's enough to get in a full body weight circuit or just cardio. So…

Username: ecowles675 Weigh in week: Jan week 3 Weigh in day: Wed Previous Week's weight: 216 Today's Weight: 213 Trying out a new exercise routine- two morning a week of strength training and 3 morning of cardio. I am limited to 30-35 minutes , but it's better than waiting until the evening and then blowing it off!!

I am leaning more towards vegetarian. Not 100% there, having a hard time giving up my cheese and yogurt! My nut is not too big on the whole food and vegetarian diet, trying to figure it out on my own so I am always confused. And reading Proteinaholic by Garth Davis is not helping my confusion at all!!
