Standing up. I just bounce out of my chair, without thinking about it. I still have 75-100 pounds to lose, but some benefits are already here!

I've been having a really hard time with making the choices I need to be making, to make progress. Today I asked myself what would get me to do what I know I need to, and I remembered that even though it's what I'm eating that really counts, I know when I get more exercise i'm more willing to make those healthier food…

Awesome, @kenziestabes ! ouch, @RavenStCloud ! I hope that doesn't hurt too bad. and hurrah for a loss! @justanotherloser007 wow, those oompa loompas did a round this time! That's a lovely drop, though, even if some comes back. ***************** Age: 51 Height: 5' SW: 266.6 (1/4/21) SW November: 233.5 SW for December:…

whoo!! Go, Melissa!

@Fozzie1986 how rude! And GOOD FOR YOU.

I'm here!

The rails are there, and I know where they are. Been having a really hard time…

I *know* I need to get healthier, I *know* I want to feel better, but i can always manage to put off starting. Right now what's helping is that I'm going to New Zealand and Australia in ten months. I want to NOT be miserable in a seat I barely fit all the way there and back, AND i want to do *absolutely everything* while…

@kenziestabes I keep a jar of mixed nuts on my desk for those situations. I like nuts, but I don't eat them like I do, say, peanut butter cups, so five pieces is fifty calories and enough to hold me a while--plus healthy fats! @justanotherloser007 I am soooo looking forward to being confused by my laundry. :smile:…

Go go go! I've lost 35 so far, the same way--little by little! We're gonna win!

bookmarked because I'm gonna snag those recipes too...

Welcome! For me, it all starts with logging what I eat. the community is inspirational, but accountability starts with the food diary. Then I'd say, wander the discussion boards until you find your "home!" there are lots of lovely people here eager to help each other out.

@MargaretYakoda that sounds very difficult to deal with! Congrats on the 80 lbs, and I hope it means they start getting you figured out and helped!

@wanderinglight I know you're working, but I'm so envious! I was lucky enough to spend a week in NYC a few years ago and I've wanted to go back since (and have more than a week!) Me too, @Deanner03, me too. You've changed your life in a year, @goal06082021 That's amazing. and YAY for hubby being home! @jazzadesigns…

"The TRUE Paleo Diet--if I can't catch it, I can't eat it."

That sounds so frustrating! And so relatable. If you were doing what you intended, instead, what would that evening look like?

I love when this happens, because I believe I have noticed a pattern--when I'm going more, the scale drops!

Yesterday at work I looked in the restroom mirror and the words of someone else on these boards came through loud and clear. (Paraphrase bc I don't remember who it was or where I read it.) "I'm tired of rocking the Pat Benatar off the shoulder look." Time for some new shirts! I'm only 1/4 of the way so obvi just a couple…

@Cindy01Louisiana not that you asked, but if you haven't tried Bolthouse Farms, you might look for it! Made with yogurt, doesn't have a ton of garbage in it, low calorie (compared to most) and delicious! But yeah, that serving size thing. I remember confounding friends when I read the label and found that a "serving" of…

@Making_Impossible_Possible 12.6 pounds! whoo! you're doing great! @goal06082021 you're in inspiration. so glad the hub's surgery went well. So in awe at how well you stuck to your plan through such stress. YAY for pumpkin crushing! @jazzadesigns yay for loss! It's all relative, isn't it? When you know that by rights you…

When my daughter spends the night at a friend's, I take her dog (chihuahua/pug mix) because he hates to be alone. I've always endured having him sleep with me, bc the boy is a tiny but mighty space heater, and I didn't need the warmth! Last night, though, I found my feet seeking the warmth, as I am not the furnace I used…

@TheKookyKiwi what a cute, fuzzy, face! Are you in New Zealand? Welcome! Good luck, @Deanner03 ! I imagine it would be a tough time to find a bathing suit. Congrats on nothing you have fitting, though...?

It is SO HARD not to do that. Go you!

Seconding the meal-prepping! I don't have it down like @goal06082021 does, but I do make myself overnight oatmeal for breakfast and some sort of salad or soup for lunch. I make 5 days worth on Sunday, so I don't have to worry about my workweek. It makes it SO MUCH easier to be ready.

Just put my Fitbit back on my wrist after charging, and the band went to the fifth hole as if it belonged there. I've been doing the fourth! Started at the third...sometimes I just sit and stare at my tiny wrists. (Now if the rest could just catch up...)

I'm going to try varying my routine a bit. More strength exercises? More protein?…
