Friday Weigh-In PW: 254.7 CW: 253.9 Happy with a small loss given the week of eating I had. I made it to Long Island last night. My mom's new place is so cute and very sweetly decorated for the holidays!

Hi all - definitely having a bit of struggle with food this week, I don't know why I simply cannot resist cheezits after work. And I know what you are thinking, "why don't you stop buying them?" - I have had this thought. And YET. :# @ashleycarole86 so very sorry to hear of your MIL's passing. Glad you got to spend some…

Friday Weigh-in PW: 252.6 CW: 254.7 I do expect most of this to be bloating from said over-doing it, so hopefully a good drop next week! I have a follow up appointment on Thurs with my weight management NP so I would love to be able to report a loss to her, too. Thank you @Alatariel75 and @lauren_989 !! Sometimes it's just…

And a moment for the makeup!

Loose or better fitting clothes all around! Love that for us! I am snuggled in bed after getting back from NYC. The holiday party was actually really fun, but I probably overdid it with alcohol so I am not optimistic about weigh-in tomorrow. I will try to attach a pic in the next post! Looking forward to my last weekend…

@lauren_989 oh man, this illness has your lungs working overtime!! A blondie bar sounds so good right now too haha... Had another okay day. I was able to cut down on the snacking before dinner time, I think partially because I had a pretty big lunch (chipotle bowl - good protein!), and because since I snacked a lot…
-
Hi team. Had an okay Monday - definitely snacked too much when I got home, but I could have let things spiral from there, not eaten a good dinner, I hadn't moved or worked out when I got home. But I didn't. I made a nice dinner of pork cutlets and sauteed mushrooms, did my daily PT stretches and movements, and got in a 20…
-
@Alatariel75 that is an awesome milestone!! Congrats on being in double digits!! @strong_fit_ells fantastic steps this week!!
-
I can't add much to that ^^ discussion question - water is the only thing I drink and I am always thirsty, so I probably get about 75-100oz each day without thinking about it. I do like to use larger cups and water bottles, so I don't have to refill as often throughout the day. If I do ever need a little interest in my…

Got my grocery shopping done earlier than I have in weeks - love having extra time before the football games are on. I think I should rest my foot today a bit from all the walking, so I am going to pick a yoga video on youtube and move slowly. My meals this week will be pork cutlets with mushrooms, chives, and what I call…
-
Super late check-in, but another good walk today, including up a steep hill which felt good. Must get to sleep!
-
Friday Weigh In PW: 253.2 CW: 252.6 I'll take it for sure! @MaddawgMadsen so sorry to hear about your injury and illness!! Migraines are the absolute worst. Please keep feeling better!
-
This week flew by! I have a bunch of dumb administrative tasks for end of the year stuff to get done at work tomorrow, but I hope I can just get through it and log off a little early. Not sure how my weight will look tomorrow. Dinner with my team on Tuesday night was ginormous. So much steak, potatoes, and wine. Delicious,…
-
@lauren_989 so sorry that you have pneumonia! that is the worst. go easy! I do usually snack but they are never healthy choices, except for strawberries, which I almost always have on hand. Even when they are out of season and very expensive (!!), they are my 2nd favorite food of all time after potatoes. I can't go without…
-
Woo! I hadn't noticed! But that's nice. I'm a little concerned about holding onto my loss from last week because I have my team end of the year dinner on Tuesday (steakhouse and wine) and the office holiday party on Wed. It should be easy to get my protein goal in, on both those days, but overall may cause some bloat, esp…
-
@lauren_989 that's a big win! Having a good day here too. I think this is my 4th straight day of taking a walk? Which feels HUGE for my foot. I might be getting too excited about these little signs of healing. Please let it stick!! Getting through Thanksgiving leftovers in a measured way - the meal was not over the top so…
-
Thursday Weigh In PW: 256.0 CW: 253.2 Happy with this loss! Hope I can keep some momentum going into Dec. And a happy thanksgiving to all those celebrating in the US - and our new friend in Australia!

Happy hump day! @conleywoods welcome back!! glad to see your username pop up again, Kristi! @lauren_989 really awesome loss this week! have fun with your 5K, even indoors! @ashleycarole86 oh, so sorry to hear about your MIL. that's such tough news to get. sending hugs to you and Brad. similar to Lauren, for a short work…

Zucchini pizza looks awesome! I have unfortunately found a frozen pizza brand recently that is actually so good... but surely not low on calories or carbs. At least it is easier to count what I am eating from it vs a restaurant pizza. The temperatures have definitely dropped in the Boston area the last week. I still don't…
-
Friday Weigh In PW: 255.6 (I think) CW: 256.0 Actually thought this would be much worse after Mexico!! Sorry it isnt green but I am not traveling for Thanksgiving next week so hope I can see a drop then.
-
@MaddawgMadsen you're hired as a vacation buddy! I've got the travel bug now for sure.... I floated the idea of Croatia next summer with my sister, and she said Croatia has a ton of waterfalls, including the most beautiful/visited in Europe?! Sounds amazing. I slacked on dinner tonight, went with the last bit of leftovers…
-
@lauren_989 recipe is based on this one: https://ihackeddiabetes.com/mashed-broccoli-cauliflower/#recipe But instead of mashing as directed, I put everything into a food processor and let it get super pureed. I served it with a little bit of butter on top (like mashed potatoes) and salt to taste.
-
@strong_fit_ells you must be the hardest working person I know, I feel like your hours for work are so long all the time! It's really difficult to put that much effort into work and then also try to lose weight. I'm sure the medical news for your husband is no help - but if I can offer an anecdote, when one of my younger…
-
And one more thing - became obsessed with coatis! They were all over the resort and so freakin cute. They are a diurnal cousin of the racoon.
-
Oops forgot the pic -
-
No weigh in for me this week! Currently sitting at the Cancun airport, wallowing. I'll see if I can attach a pic to this post of the view from my beachfront hotel room. I would say I 100% love Mexico, would do another all-inclusive for sure, but would maybe look to spend a little more at a boutique resort where the food is…
-
Late Weigh In! PW: 254.4 CW: 255.6 I knew I wouldnt hang on to the big drop from last week, so actually kind of happy with this. @lauren_989 sorry about your grandma!! Can I also be excused for next week? I leave for Mexico for tomorrow and wont be back until Saturday (and the scale will be decidedly unfriendly then but I…

wow I had all that typed out days ago and never posted it ^^^ !!! hate when I do that
-
Happy November! Can't believe I am down to my 2nd-to-last page in my habit tracker. Lots of stuff has been going on the last 18 months (it was a 20 page tracker). Thanks for the bday wishes! The weekend was really fun - a lot of work organizing meals for 14 people - but happy I actually made my vision come to life from…

Friday Weigh In PW: 260 CW: 254.4 Woooo! Finally broke my binge streak this week and it paid off. @Gidgitgoescrzy thank you! Love the cruise idea - great motivation and you deserve to do something fun when you time off anyways!!
