Friday! And the end of January to boot. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy beginning to February!

Egg muffin cups with any additives you like-ham, bacon, onion, herbs, spices, cheese. Bake up a batch on Sunday and throw in a container. 30 seconds in the microwave. Prosciutto and mozzarella wraps. I buy the Fiorucci brand 2-pack. Pair with a Wholly Guacamole cup. Today, I ate a 4 ounce steak that I cooked last night.…

Any sort of veggie casserole: broccoli, cauliflower, potato. Even big batches of steamed vegetables are good for several days. Drizzle them with a good vinaigrette dressing and eat them cold or heat them up if you like.

TUESDAY Thank you for your concern, Lana! It does seem like a lot. However, my usual pattern is an 8-12 lb loss the first week. I retain a lot of water when I don't eat right. As Dr. Berry says, "They don't call them carboHYDRATES for nothing." Hopefully, after this week, I will only have 11-15 lbs to go. Off to a good…

Lana, Regarding the Beck process, I enjoy reading about it. I don't follow it, but I do have interesting conversations in my head about some of the topics you post. Thank you and keep doing it! I'm half-heartedly attempting to get my health together. Weight loss is needed, but not my focus. I have to start eliminating…

Happy thoughts for great outcomes from your important appointments. Giving myself credit today for staying true to my eating plan yesterday and meal prepping lunch for the rest of the week. I started one thing I read in the Beck plan. I now cook my breakfast and get back in bed to eat with the cats before leaving the house…

Finally, the light seems to be returning. I spent Saturday and Sunday in bed with the cats, fasted, read, colored, played games, and napped. Napped a lot. I've really messed things up health- and job-wise. Gained back 30-35 lbs depending on which day you look at. Something took over and I panicked when I got near my…

Happy New Year to all denizens of the Cabana! May we all be successful on our individual paths this year. Thank you for being here! Signed, Tracy in Tennessee

Backstory: This is a very supportive and tight-knit company, but it is in transition and the changes I see are unsettling. We have had some departmental changes that have sent me into an emotional tailspin for about 6 months. My annual evaluation was yesterday. It did not go well, but could have been worse. He got upset…

I have my annual work evaluation today. It will not go well. I'm having ice cream for breakfast and reading MFP while I eat it. :smile:

Wednesday. Thanksgiving Eve. 500 days. I have visited MFP for 500 days as of today. Have I logged my food every day? No. Have I weighed and measured every day? No. Have I written in thread or posted a blog every day? No. Have I consistently lost weight and reached my goal? NO! What I have done is come to this thread, met…

Welcome, Robyn!

A typical day at the office for me. Just kidding! Snack day and contest at work, then my City has Trunk or Treat at 5. Leaving work at 3:30 to get there. Supporting Women of the Moose by handing out candy. 700 treat bags prepared.

[quote="ellie1 What the hell is this? It's only based on weight and nothing else? What if you're a 5'10" female at 154? Much different than a 5'0" female at 154lbs. 154 and muscular is much different than 154 and mostly fat. In a sense I can understand higher risk clients paying a higher premium, but it has to be based on…

I'm still around. Lying low right now. Seasons changing hit me hard this time.

Good morning, all, I'm still not back to proper protocol. Ridiculous bingeing and don't care enough to stop. Today is also dentist day for me. Getting my impressions done for my crowns - - next to last step in the implant process. Wishing everyone a calm and pain-free day! Tracy

Thank you all for your support and encouragement! October 1--90 day goal = Lose 20 lbs I need to be at 145 (or below) by January 1st. My life insurance premium will be reduced by $30 per month if I can reach that goal. SW-222 CW-165.4 (for those keeping score, that is 14 lbs above my lowest weight 151.4) GW-145 January 1,…

Sorry for such a long absence. I have been keeping up, but not posting due to my work and social schedule. Hopefully, things are slowing down a bit now. I don't want help, but I need help. I have gained 14 lbs in 25 days. September 5th, I had reached my lowest adult weight ever--151.4. A few days later, I had a meltdown…

I don't pay a penalty for my health insurance, but I definitely do for my life insurance. They apply a fee labelled FT (I assume for Fat Tax) because I weigh more than 154 lbs. I pay an extra $360 per year because of it. Any woman who weighs more than 154 lbs (regardless of height) pays the FT with this particular company.…

I'm Tracy from Tennessee. I don't post very often, and probably even less in the next months. Busy time of year for my Moose Lodge. Sara, I love clary sage! I keep a bottle of the oil at my desk all the time. Such a calming scent. Happy Friday to everyone! Drink lots of water, make the best food choice you can in the…

They posted several weeks ago that it would be going away by the 1st of September due to the misunderstanding over its meaning. Or more precisely the dual meaning it had taken on. Since "woo" was used as a derogatory reaction, often without clarification and civil debate, MFP decided to eliminate the possibility of…

I'm excited to be called a regular! My postings are so sporadic. I have Hashimoto's and my practitioner prescribed the Keto diet to combat the symptoms. The inflammation reduction and energy increase are amazing. It has worked so well that I went in remission six months after starting. Wishing you the best!

I have not been doing well with my way of eating lately. However, this picture gives me new motivation. Left side: February 2018, when I turned 50. Right side: 10 days ago to upgrade to Real ID. Seventy lbs lost. Health gained. I do not want to go back.

The one thing I discovered last night is that you have to change your bowling position. Backstory: I took a year off from League bowling to focus on building my Moose relationships. Next week, I will begin League bowling again. Last night, I went to practice. Gutterball after gutterball. I could not figure out what I was…

Non-scale victory (NSV)

Good morning, all! Welcome to the newcomers! This is a great place for support. If you need something, just ask. Lots of different programs and lifestyles are represented here. Update on the Girls' Trip: TL:DR We had a good time. Longer version: Twelve women, two bathrooms, NO DRAMA!! We had a very laid back, restful…

Thanks for all the encouragement! Trying to get out of my own head is the longest part of the upcoming trip.

Good morning, all! Tomorrow is the start of my weekend Girls' Trip. Now, I'm dreading it. We had an organizational meeting last night to be sure we take all the supplies we need and work out the travel arrangements. They (one in particular) have already started in on me about my food. I have packed a bag with sufficient…

Good morning, all! Starting my week calmly. Meal prepped yesterday--Monday-Thursday will be avocado with prosciutto and mozzarella rollups for breakfast, taco pie with sour cream and buttered broccoli for lunch. Knowing what I will eat every day helps me keep my mind settled. One less decision for each day. Had a nice…

Good morning, Cabana Crew, Other than one (1) double stuf Oreo cookie, I managed to stay on my eating plan yesterday. The prior day of fasting brought a lot of my inflammation under control and I feel a bit better. Thank you for all the encouragement! It really helps to have the support. We can all do this. SW 222 CW 154.6…
