Sunday weight 191.6! That is a pound lost. Now i feel better Hmmm... When left to my own devices, my day is longer than 24 hrs. Maybe my week is more than 7 days .

Goal, 1 pound a week. 7/3/15: 192.2 7/11/15:192.8 Maybe could have lost a pound if i'd had time friday or sat morning to pee away the water weight. Every night When i complete my diary i always get same message, that if i keep doing what im doing i will weigh 185 in 5 weeks. I have kept doing what im doing for 5weeks, but…

Today is day before weigh in, so i am referring to Gayle's tips and putting them into practice. And I'm planning ahead for badly timed writers meeting tonight, where the host feels need to give us sugar. So I am taking my self-talk (for my spoiled and angry inner child), "i can have a taste when its time to go home." And…

Yesterday was my second week of class and low cal day. Class-wise, everything went right this time,so ironically sabotaged my 600 cal. plan. First, The tiny sandwich shop across the street was open so i didn't have to walk a few blocks. Second, it had a special with free bag of chips -- who can resist free chips? -- which…

Better send you early bday wish cuz tomorrow is my teaching day HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BDAY GAYLE,!! IM 64 too and i do still need you! :-)

Speaking of leaving a bite on the plate. I eat out a lot and have a trick for the huge portions. When i order the meal I order a to go box at the same time, and immediately put half the meal away. Dont feel deprived because look forward to having it later. Though now im ordering low cal meals, i still put half in togo box…

Welcome Beth! I am new here too. I filled out my profile but didnt introduce myself here, and you've reminded me to. Ack! I just went to my profile to copy and paste but nothing is there! Apparently i forgot to save it. Dont have time to recreate it now. Will just say thanks for those tips weighing tips Gayle! This morning…

I have noticed that timed has slowed down since started weighing myself.

Gayle I love your focus on the positive! Your trend IS definitely downward! This weigh-morning I am suffering from the vaguries of water weight and bad timing. Yesterday was 193..0 Today am 195.2, which was where i was when i joined this group three weeks ago. But rather than worrying that ive plateued right out of the…

Thanks for calorielab.com tip!

Interesting. Mfp doesnt consider furniture moving (aka lugging long tables) as strength exercise. But it does give me calorie credit for cardio. And i know table-lugging will make me stronger, so all is good.

I am going to follow Gayles advice about not doing too many low calorie days But first i had to have my planned 600 cal day, which will be every tuesday. I chose tuesday because im very busy teaching two 3 1/2 hr writing classes. Here is how it went: Today was start of term, in a new place that is on "mainstreet" of small…

Thanks to guacamole fat, and no snacks for sale where i worked all day, i wasnt hungry all day! To complete my food diary i had to quick add 900 fake calories! Think i will now have a few real ones before i go to sleep. Gayle its so great to be here!

HA! Forgetting the 100 might have been a weird denial, or just my usual my "number dyslexia.". I weigh 193.

Food discoveries so far that help me cope (i dont cook, always go out for a cheap lunch, and am a sugar addict back on the wagon for the 100th time) 1 Baja Fresh grilled chicken soft taco with 3oz guacomole on the side. The fat makes me feel fulll. 2. 85% dark chocolate bar. Just one piece fixes emergency chocolate craving…

Here are my numbers since returning from colorado where Gayle inspired me to join MFP Senior Challenge 6/14/15: 95.2 6/19/15: 94.2(i know it's the wrong day) 6/26/15: 93.0 This is actually working! Thanks so much Gayle!

Btw I have discovered dr advice Has changed lots since last time i dieted. Despite my high cholesterol, my doc told me to eat fat to feel full. It works for me! I was starving on weight watchers, but now rarely need to eat all allowed mfp calories. Doc told me to think of sugar as poison. No wonder the lowfat/high carb…

I say, if not hungry don't eat just to make mfp happy. None of us are anorexic :-). "Quick add" can be found by clicking on "more" which is to the far right of every "add food" on the food diary page.

I meant the tutorials Gayle sent me

Ha! Speaking of chocolate, i have discovered that only one bite of an 88% chocolate bar satisfies my craving! I can have it in the house without eating it all at once! Need it in car with me, but it melts. Small cooler is the answer. A cooler just for a chocolate bar. Ha! Thanks Charlie! Is this the newsfeed page? (I…

Yep i understand they probably do that for liability reasons. Just feels weird to lie to a computer program rather than myself :-)

I just lied to mft in order to get it to show my diary post. Today was my 600 caorie day, so i added 500 calories i didnt eat. Gayle is that what you do on your fast day?

Life is not fair!! You are doing everything right. It has to show up eventually! I wonder if metabolism can be hypnotized to speed up? You are my hero!

So happy for you Gayle! Good job with that 600 cal fast!!

Congrats on your new low!!!!

I love "thwart" as a noun! :-) Thanks for scale advice! Will try it in the morning, after i pee. Will avoid it rest of day! I am going to make tuesdays my 600 calorie days because i teach two classes, which keeps me too busy to eat much anyway. I know from experience that All i need before first class is an egg. Then have…
