Swimmom - thanks for the detailed description of how you manage your meals. Smart that you make the 4 salads for work on Sunday nights for the week. I have never been into the shakes as it feels like then I am missing out on the enjoyment of eating "real food" Elliptical for 150 minutes - Wow! @Megan_smartiepants1970 - So…

Melmerritt33 - I get the depression situation. Ugh. I struggle with it myself, especially in winter and winters in Minnesota are long! My goal was actually to return to yoga and not be so focused on the poses as the stretching. I have a rebounder pilates machine but seldom use it, thanks for the reminder! Wishing youluck…

Hello All. Yes, I agree taylok, we need to celebrate small victories and reframe our thinking to meet our goals! Tishsmith - you are amazing with your structure. I like all of the check offs! I have been maintaining pretty well, keeping my calories under 1,300 but have been lax with working out. I tried the keto a few…

Swimmom - what do you eat to keep your carbs so low at 15 net? I over do the protein when I try for such low carbs. Good for you for staying on track for these past few days. So easy to slip. Taloc23 - I get the mindlessly eating. And I so agree about how we can be influenced by others actions. Yep, mental struggle is half…

LifeChangz - thanks for taking the time to help me figure this out. I am leaning in the direction of low carb rather than keto. I know I can lose faster on Keto but it seems too restrictive. Kinberwolf71 - wow you are so organized with your four pillars! Thanks for sharing. I just did a little workout. Holy molly am I out…

tishsmith101 - smart to plan your week of activities, nice variety. I should do something like that. Does it help you stay compliant? Taylok - Geez, sounds like it doesn't take much for your body to react to certain carbs. Sorry to hear about the hip and knee pain. I am making a declaration right now to myself to do one…

Thanks Swimmom. I am happy with a weight goal of 150 pounds at this point but I am going to go slow and be sensible so even to get out of the 170's would be a win for me. I am at 179 this evening. PaulaKro - good for you with the gardening. I hope your back is feeling better.

Mary - I hear ya about the motivation and good for you doing the elliptical! Lifechangz - wow, sounds like you are being very resourceful with food choices while staying at the motel. taylok23 - yep, I agree, keep logging no matter how the day went! Sometimes I cringe when entering my food! I did do a cheat day yesterday…

Thanks. I just stocked up on my keto foods. I never purchase the additional Keto powders or solutions as I have found that I can still lose weight without them. I plan to do even 5 minutes of exercise this evening even if it is just walking up and down my steps to get a little "work out"

Thanks Baconslave and hello to everyone participating in the challenge. I am Lucy from Minnesota and work as a school nurse. Most of my job is sedentary and I am hoping to find ways to get myself motivated to remain on Keto (restarted yesterday). I weigh 180 and am 5'3" My goal for April is to get comfortably back into my…

Hello Chazsayswoof. I am in the same boat. I was in an online WW group several years ago and it was amazing how helpful it was at the time to share challenges and give each other support. The group eventually fell apart but that was okay. People were getting busy and most of us had accomplished our goals. In the past few…

I am in a winter slump, and if I continue to eat this way and exercise this little, I will regret it about 6 weeks from now. Trying to get a fresh start going and would love to connect with others on incorporating mindfulness and a healthier lifestyle. Once I get to the end of March I seem more motivated because it is not…

I know it varies but what do you recommend for carb and calorie limits? I am a 50 some year old woman, 5 ft 3 inches, 168 pounds and do very little exercise. I lost over 30 pounds a few years ago by keeping my calories under 1500 most days and exercising about 3 days a week but then got stuck, slowly but steadily gained…

Yep, I am up for this.

I need something like this. Thanks for suggesting. W1 8/4: W2 8/11: W3 8/18: W4 8/25: W5 9/1: W6 9/8: W7 9/15: W8 9/22: W9 9/29: W10 10/6: W11 10/13: W12 10/20: W13 10/27: W14 11/3: W15 11/10: W16 11/17: W17 11/24: Final!!!! 12/1: Total loss: What I've learned about myself:
