I've actually switched from "regular" coffee to espresso. I, surprisingly, found it less bitter (for my taste) and more palatable in terms of only adding almond milk. Oh, and I completely agree with hiding it in breakfast shakes too. Tomorrow: 1x Cookie Dough Halo Top, 2x Espresso, 1x protein powder and 2c unsweetened…

Is there room for one more? I'm 33 (34 next month), 5'5.5", and I'm looking to lose about another 50-60ish pounds. Heaviest was 216.7 and currently hovering around 179ish. Hoping to drop...even 4 pounds before the end of my grad program (that would be amazing) at the beginning of March. Another hope is to start a…

I do both (after morning potty): 1) with PJ's 2) full on nekked I find the comparison helps with perspective -- especially when maybe the loss isn't as much as originally hoped for. I also weigh right before bed in PJ's...just because I'm a nerd and I find it interesting what / how weight changes (even between 8 - 9hrs!)…

Agree... Tile looks a bit smaller. Keep working on it, you'll get there. Random question: why did you scribble out your face in the progress pics, yet your profile pic has a full-on face???

Just for today: I won't eat the Lemon PIE that's been calling my name. Just for today: I will try.

Honestly? I still, sometimes, lack motivation. You just gotta embrace the suck and drive on. Accept that you may be uncomfortable for the first couple minutes, or even the entirety of the workout. That's okay. It's part of the process; as someone else mentioned: there is also a mental aspect to consider. I will reiterate…

Myself. :wink:

Can you not get in at all? Sometimes I swim using just my arms, or just my legs (that takes more effort), because I enjoy the variety of challenge. Of you can get in the pool, but just can't use your legs...try using only the arms (with a ring if necessary). Just a thought. ☺ Sorry your ankle is busted, that sounds…

So... I guess I'll start us off? USW: 216.7 (started MFP) CSW: 180.4 (joined group challenge) CW: 180.4 (I officially weigh-in Mondays) CGW: ~160 (by 12/31) UGW: ~125 (by 10/1/17) Annnnd, just because... One non-food I reward myself with: a new book--either buy or borrow from library. One thing I'll try to improve: being…

Yes please! I'm it for the win. ETA: Feel free to add me, I've got a similar goal: down by 20.

Have you researched the crock-pot meals or "dump meals?" There are some wonderful ideas you can tailor to suit your needs. Also, if soups are great ways to get protein and veggies. If you make hearty ones, they are usually very filling too. Then again, it depends on whether or not you eat soup during the summer/fall or if…
-
Have you tried adding in chia seeds? I started to add them to my morning smoothie-shakes and it has vastly improved the "I'm good" feelings. Otherwise, if your wanting something to satisfy the chewing aspect, and your calories allow, nibble on some fruit, belvita, a slice of toast...etc. Hope that helps. ETA: Oh, and maybe…

I would tentatively suggest you find an activity you enjoy after work. For me, I used to run a 3-5 mile housing loop on base after getting off of 2nd shift (around midnight or one a.m.). Maybe set your alarm for an earlier wake-up and get in some activity to compensate for the snacking? It sucks, but after a few weeks…

Honestly, I prefer the fall, winter, and early spring months myself. The heat down here is oppressive and I burn quickly :neutral: so I find I'll avoid outdoor activities more often in late spring and throughout the hellish summer. I lost a majority of my weight--thus far--during the past fall/winter season. I'm currently…
-
I usually weigh-in and then annotate with T.O.M on my calendar (for my reference). If it is on an official weigh-in day...and is well beyond the weekly trend...I'll use the following week as my 'official' weight. Honestly, cravings depend on how that T.O.M is going. Some months, meh...the cravings are mild and I can ignore…

Yup. I had this issue with the Fitbit Alta, so traded that in for the Fitbit HR, still not working properly. Eventually I learned it can be an issue for Android phones. I ended up swapping the Fitbit HR in for a Garmin Vivosmart HR. Works like a champ ANNNNNNNND it's water-proof, so I don't have to take it off to swim. I…
-
Random thought, could be wrong, if you're more thirsty ...ANNNND have noticed an increased need to pee (along with the other markers), maybe check with your doctor and get tested for diabetes or other possible culprits. Could be nothing; like you mentioned you still are losing...just smaller increments...but better safe…

Anyone feel free to add me as well. Roughly 50lbs to go as well. Slow and steady. HW: 216.7; CW: 178.4; GW: 125(ish).
-
I'll add you later today. I'm not at a computer, so I don't know my specific Fitbit user name. But, I'm in for some challenges
-
I just bought the Fitbit Alta. It's amazing. (costs: $129). I love that it is cute (even in basic black), tracks steps, sleep rhythms, water intake (if you want), and prompts with txts/calls (because = convenience [not dragging the phone out of a pocket]). Oh, and it is kind of naggy every hour that you haven't taken 250…

I love Halo Top ice cream (variety of flavors) because you COULD eat the entire pint for ~250cal. There is a bit of an alcohol-sweet-burn that may be off-putting to some, but I don't mind it. I have yet to finish the pint (the chocolate is delicious). Other than that, it is a case-by-case type thing: some days are more…

5'5.5" (yes, that half of a half counts :smiley: ) SW: 216.7 CW: 183.6 GW: 125(ish) But I'm second guessing myself; already getting flak for wanting to get back to 'the glory days' of pre-preg weight because I'll 'look anorexic' (which is baffling, 125 is NOT scary low for my height). A Happy Goal Weight: 125-135

Hmmm... I think this is a very contextual type of question... Normally, I'd say it is cookies and Prince Wales tea (w/cream and turbinado sugar). But, sometimes it will be pizza. Another day it will be curry or black-eyed peas. Then there are ice cream and wine days. :smiley:
-
I will touch-up all my tattoos, get a membership at the local gym (right now can't justify the expense without demonstrating the commitment), and...I really, really, really want to compete in the Spartan Races (trifecta medal for the win!). :smiley:
