@ Stormtrooper101 You mentioned that you are “hungrier “. I find that upping the (healthy) fat content of my meals sometimes helps. Full fat cheese, olive oil salad dressing or a bit of avocado are some of my go-to’s.

Sometimes you have to fight a battle more than once to win it. Margaret Thatcher

Exercise always helps, but if I can’t seem to do that, getting lost in a good book helps. And I also enjoy sewing or crocheting to distract myself and keep my hands busy.

My best advice is to stop giving the number on the scale so much power! It’s just one measure of your progress. Others include inches lost, improved BP and cholesterol and triglycerides, stamina, healthier skin/nails, better eating habits.....

I work 12 hour midnight shifts 7 days on 7 days off. I flip back to a daytime lifestyle on my week off to spend time with my husband. I actually have better success with my eating on my week at work because I plan my food for the week. I make a couple of dishes that I can have for lunches and suppers and I always have…

Ain’t your Mama by J Lo is great while on the treadmill. 😜

Question...is there a way to edit my first post so I just add my results each week, rather than having yo write a whole new post? I post on an iPhone or iPad rather than a pic, if that matters. Thanks!

Week 2 of the challenge for me was spent on vacation. Tried to watch, but it's hard when eating out a lot to know just how food is being prepared. Overall not too upset. Challenge Level ❤️❤️❤️ 15 pounds Starting weight 194.4 pounds 2/11 : lost 4.8 pounds 2/18 : gained 2 pounds

Am happy to report that for my first week of this challenge ( I started late ) I lost 4.8 pounds! I had a health Scare in September and have been gaining weight since then, so this is significant and very motivating for me. Am doing 1500 calories and trying to get 10,000 steps a day. Am on vacation this week so it will be…

I’m in! Current weight : 194.2 Level: ❤️❤️❤️ Goal: 179

Hi Jesika. I’ve always heard that “weight loss happens in the kitchen.” And “you can’t out-exercise a bad diet.” Of course, exercise does amazing things for your health, so it’s really important. I find I want eat more when I’ve been exercising a lot...Almost like I EARNED the extra food. Which can derail my weight loss.…
