HW 248 CW 210 GW 140 Hope everyone had a good week! I had a decent week. Made pretty good food choices. Learned that beans upset my stomach and spike my blood sugar, as well as potatoes. I've been attempting to be more active. Making it a priority to get some steps in. Walking some after dinner, or just pulling weeds!…

I noticed this week that I can see parts of my body that I haven’t seen in 5 years because my fat belly was in the way.

I just reached my first mini goal! To weigh the same as I did when I started my really stressful job. My next mini goal is to weigh less than my mom (198) who has always been obese. (And embarrassed me as a child.)

HW 248 CW 213 GW 140 I had a pretty good week! It gets easier and easier to say no to sugar and flour. I feel so much better and the scale moving is also a great motivator. I've been weighing myself daily and don't get discouraged if the scale goes up. I had 3 days in a row when it went up. Had some minor negative…

Me too! I've worked in healthcare for 22 years now. I know the science of being healthy and thin, However, I realized that I suffer from food addiction and just had to cut out sugar and flour all together. Fruits and starchy veggies still spike my blood sugar. So, I know I'm insulin resistant. And, I also have bad…

HW 248 CW 217 GW 140 This week hasn't been too bad. I got really hungry one day and ended up eating potato chips and a small bowl of ice cream. If I do that once in a while it's not so bad. Haven't done that since the beginning of June. That made me realize that I wasn't eating enough. So yesterday, I went to Aldi and…

Today I wore a blouse that I had been avoiding because it was too tight. It not only fit, but was loose!

My first mini goal is to reach the weight I was before I started my super stressful, unhealthy job (which I quit a year ago!). 209. I am at 222 right now.... Highest weight was 242, so I'm on my way!!!

Late Friday weigh in! Chrissyinbloom PW 217.8 CW 218.0 Now the flu is in my house... Hopefully, we are done with these viruses for the year!

Haven't checked in for a while. Was traveling, then got discouraged when the scale went up! Doing much better now! I've decided to try 16:8 fasting again.. with just a little cheat: heavy whipping cream in my coffee each morning. So far it seems to be working well! I am only eating between noon and 8 PM. And lots of water…

Late Friday Weigh In Chrissyinbloom PW: 221.7 CW: 221.5 I've been under a serious amount of stress. Considering quitting my job. I've been miserable the past couple of months. I'm sure my cortisol is through the roof and not letting me lose any weight. :'(

Friday Weigh in! chrissyinbloom PW 222.0 CW 220.4 I'm having a hard time in the afternoons. I get tired and lose concentration in the afternoon, which has me turning to snacks for a little pick me up. How do you all combat the afternoon slump? Thanks!
