I'm mostly the same. I get rid of stuff and never miss it--but sometimes I do (Like the time I tossed an adapter because I had no idea what it was, and it turned out it went to my pretty little fiber-optic Christmas tree) so I try to be careful. IMO, this needs to be normalized. Just like a spoiled child won't learn if…

In Atomic Habits, author James Clear says every choice is a vote for who you are going to be going forward. So vote for the you that you want to win?

that's a teeny tiny mini goal! Why not go for something hard? XD

My clothes for years have been 2XL if I want it to fit, 3XL if I want it roomy (nightshirts and jackets.) Today I'm wearing a L jacket and *loving* it.

oof...there's some history there. I think it plays with what a lot of people have said, feeling like they are more noticed when they are smaller? And the old survival brain tells me that "visible is vulnerable." So someone compliments me, or i see a new low number on my scale, and my inner five year old wants to eat All…

That seems like a good rule! I am just choosing a place to focus on. Last week I was in my back yard and I realized that it's a great big mess that I just don't see anymore. It's not the only area. So I'm going to pick a place to focus, and I'll take some pictures. That will make it easier to see what needs fixing AND give…

bump

Last night I grabbed a pair of shorts from my drawer and threw them on--and realized they were pretty baggy. When I bought them, I was wearing them as underwear bc that's how they fit--boy-short briefs.

@TxTiffani same! I'm five foot nothin', but I've never been "small." At 15 I was 150, so 40+ lbs overweight. I've spent most of my life north of 200. Last time I lost I got to 199 before all heck broke loose in my life, and I backslid about 70 lbs, so I still hadn't reached tiny, but I was starting to see that tiny was in…

Not me, not-randomly bumping threads I think are awesome and helpful and shouldn't be buried...

waking up feeling GREAT. Like you can take on the world. It's been a looooong time since I felt that way with any regularity.

*bump* because I feel a round of decluttering coming on, and I want company...

That's some motivation right there, @mstacer I set a goal in February to lose ten pounds (hard, I know, but I've done it before) and I missed. So the goal is ten pounds for March. I've lost six, and I have two weeks to go...

bumping a super-useful thread.

eggs. easy fast protein, tastes like whatever veg and maybe cheese I throw in there. From as simple as scrambled eggs with ketchup (low-sugar!) to an omelette with sauteed frozen veg and a slice of tasty cheese with mustard on top...yum.

Bump. Planning ahead is working for me today. Last night I remembered that my roommate is making cake tonight. So I switched my breakfast plan of chocolate zucchini baked oatmeal (330 cal) plus milk (150 cal) for plain greek yogurt with a tb of jam (240 total.) Also cut out my "treat" coffee and had a cup of tea with a tsp…

congratulations!

oh! You're right-- I have it set to lose two pounds a week (a feat I have done before, and done just fine on) that's probably it. Thanks! If it's not mysterious and weird, I can have faith it will go on even when I "blow" it. ;) So I had another weekend of low motivation. I'm a writer, and this last week it Was Not…

I keep falling off the wagon, but because I prepped food (salads and overnight oatmeal) it's easier to get back on than to keep going the wrong way.

So I've been doing crummy at every single one of my goals (seriously. I was over my calorie goal by a little or a lot every day, Friday to Wednesday. And I missed my 10k several times too!) but hey. as long as the weight is going down, I'm doing *something* right. But I know I can't go on like this either, so I'll get back…

tangent-- I dislike the framing of "these days." People are not more sensitive, we just have (one hopes) more agency to say when something is inappropriate. Does anyone *actually* want to go back to the days of getting accosted in the walk-in freezer by a coworker 30+ years older and several steps up the management chain,…

NOW we're heading in the right direction! I just need to keep it up. and probably keep amping it up. And next time, say "no thanks" when offered pizza at work, oops. I ate two small slices and I feel icky--totally opposite how I'd be feeling if I'd eaten my salad instead, i know. But I did manage to avoid the cake!…

@MrsKiser9384 you've made a great start! Welcome. @justanotherloser007 good to see you! @tabailey316 Welcome! "finish what you start" is a good goal! I should maybe look at it for next month. ;) Welcome, @ebonyroche ! You've got this. @finngirl61 good to see you! you have so much on your plate, but you can do this. I'm…

Age: 51 Height: 5' SW: 266.6 (1/4/21) SW November: 233 SW for December: 234.7 SW for January: 233.5 (blargh!) SW for February: 235.4 (BLARGH!) 2/4: 2/11: 2/18: 2/25: GW for February: 225 GW for October because that's my focus: 165 all aboard the struggle bus! On and on this goes, but I refuse to give up. Goals: Get over my…

BUT THEN 1/30 was 236! but I have a gum infection so I'm just not going to worry about it. i'll keep eating well and walking and maybe I just won't weigh in until this is all cleared up? Argh.

hee...will you need to stick a magnetic dry erase board to the dryer to make sure you *know* how long something has been there? (I'm not judging--in my house since all three of us do our own laundry, stuff often sits in the dryer till the next person needs to use it.)

@danikat15 @goal06082021 @kenziestabes y'all are inspiring. I *love* Girl Scout cookies (and supporting Girl Scouts!) so I've been teetering. But truly, there's nothing in the world like two or three frozen Thin Mints on a hot awful day in July, so I'm going to use your strategies to get me some. I will divide them up (no…

Age: 51 Height: 5' SW: 266.6 (1/4/21) SW November: 233 SW for December: 234.7 SW for January: 233.5 (blargh!) GW for January: 225 GW for October 2022 because that's my focus: 165 1/7: 232.4 1/14: 230.6 1/21: 233.0 1/28 yeah, so that's going great... I don't even know. I'm under my calorie deficit goal nearly every day, and…

Welcome, @sfortner2014 !! That's the winning attitude--each step in the right direction is worth celebrating. I've been on target with my deficit almost all week, and doing well at getting 10k steps. I was mad this morning that I'm up not down--but then I realized I forgot my meds yesterday! That could well have done it.…

this is a bit odd, but...last night I crawled into bed a different way, since lying down on my usual side was blocked by a temporary furniture change. Used to be, there was only one way I could get up and down, but now I have options.
