Forgetting the past what do you have in store for this upcoming quarter. Are you making any adjustments after starting this year and prior to the Summer coming around? If so are there any changes in your strategy for the next 3 months or coming future that you would like to share. I'd like to stay my course, or better. I…

Honestly, I have a hard time teasing apart my relationship with food over time and how I prioritized it. In the simplest version, I have memory of pretty much always prioritizing food and drink over anything else. However, it was more of a passive thing than a mindful choice. I just liked to eat and drink--so I did a lot…

1) What do you choose year 1 and year 2 and why? 2) How do you think you did losing or maintaining over the course of two years without a scale? 1) I had a trial run with this last summer, when, for many weeks, I had neither food or bathroom scale. By that time, I had been on my weight management program for several years…

Greetings, GOADies

Topic: What ONE day is your most difficult to LTL? Why? How do you cope? The day when I'm stressed or anxious (which could be any, or every, day). Why? Because I became a stress-eater prior to joining WW. For decades, I mindlessly ate under stress. Why that? I really don't know how I came to associate stress and eating. I…

I don't even pretend "I've got this", let alone for "the rest of my life". I treat it one day at a time. Not the cliché so much as a workable approach for me.

High noon--as good a time as any.

'Morning GOADies!

What cooking technique(s) have you found useful in preparing meals that help you along your journey? How do you implement them? In what way have they helped your journey? I'm with Emmie @whathapnd in that roasting seems to have opened a new world to flavorful food prep for the same food items she mentioned. Yes to the…

Hi @troylfullerton ! Welcome aboard and thanks for the provocative scenario you posed. I'll take a stab at my perspective. All you said is / could be true. For me, there were/are two underlying premises. I wanted to lose weight (ultimately lost 80 pounds) and I accepted there were going to always be tradeoffs. I was right…

Good morning!

Love these, guys! Thanks for playing!

My first NSV was within a week after joining WW in 2014. I was working on a project to pull invasive plant species from a pond at a nearby Audubon property. There was a group of a half-dozen or so of us. The work required us to wear neoprene chest waders because we were in water nearly as high as the waders. My waders…

Let's do it again today!

Many people talk about hiding from the camera for years or of seeing themselves in pictures being the impetus for losing weight. Do you use pictures of yourself (or others) as motivation? If so, do you use flattering or unflattering pictures? Does it matter? I don't use pictures so much for motivation at this point (mine…

? When you see someone else doing something like losing weight. Does it or did it ever occur to you that if someone else can do it I can do it. What are your thoughts on this subject. If someone else can do it I can do it to. Absolutely! In fact, my sister's success with weight loss via WW was one of the things that…

I'm trying to figure out if these are egg recipes or things to do with things that go with eggs. In any case, thanks for the link, Greg.

Not too late to step in here, is it?

More light on the subject (you)? Congrats on losing that weight, Greg--that ain't nothing to sneeze at! The compliments are icing on the cake of life in a smaller body--enjoy 'em!

April Fool, no doubt!

Thanks Emmie @whathapnd !

Last call for Tuesdays. How about pitching in?

Another day on-plan. Have a good one, gang!

For someone starting out in a serious weight-loss effort, which do you think is more important, initial motivation or initial success? Imagine two people starting out in their weight loss effort: Person #1: This person is highly motivated, they read all of their WW materials, they start calculating points, calories,…

Good lesson. Damn higher math. Hang in there, @88olds !

Awesome, @misterhub ! Sure, the money would be nice but getting healthier has its own rewards, as you know. Keep on truckin'!

Thanks much to @imastar2 , @misterhub and @Jimb376mfp ! Absolutely, if you sign into GOAD and haven't participated in LTL in a while, please join us and help make LTL lively!

When you are faced with bringing something to a meal, whether it be a family meal or a potluck, do you have a healthy standby? Or, do you simply make something you think others will like? Or, do you hit the deli section of the grocery store and pick up something ready made? How do you keep it healthy for yourself at…

How did you handle hope? Hope played almost no role for me...once I actually started a weight loss program. I hoped before I started that I'd be successful (i.e. lose weight, feel better). Once I started WW and participating here though, it took almost no time to realize that the nuts-and-bolts of weight loss though come…

You know it!
