  • Thanks for the info. I guess I'll just stick with tetracycline. It's cheap ๐Ÿ˜œ

  • I did one that was set up for a week. I only remember eating cottage cheese, tuna and hot dogs, and I'm sure it was much more about the tiny portion of food then the food choices.
  • My new meeting was Thurs. One from my Monday MTG was there, two more are planning to come but have medical issues, and 1 from my old Thurs group (pre move). Lots of other folks from I don't know where. It was fine, but time will tell
  • I don't accept from anyone I don't know, tho I would accept any GoaDs. Not big on building my network either
  • Does the flax oil work? And how much do you take? I take tetracycline for that, and every time I try to go off it (I really hate taking pills) it's clear pretty quickly that I still have a problem.
  • Thanks for the connect tip Charlie! I'm always looking for new recipes. I tend to get on a roll with trying new recipes, then settle back into favs (including anything that makes the cut from the experiments). And we eat most of out meals at home, occasionally going out, but it's definitely not a regular thing.
  • I've never paid attention to macros, but I do eat a diet high in lean protein and veggies and moderate fruit. Maybe I should take a look sometime ๐Ÿคท Peeps, ๐Ÿคฎ
  • @cakeman21k I've always wondered how they can get useful data under those circumstances! I sleep terrible the 1st night not in my own bed ๐Ÿ˜ณ
  • My second is Thursday. Really hoping I don't get, or sleep through, the headache so many are experiencing. I've got major cooking to do for Easter!
  • Increased activity leads to better eating. I think I just don't want to undo the good I'm doing ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. So when I'm struggling to eat well, like now, you'd think I'd just make myself move more so the food intake would follow. Yup, I'd think so too ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ
  • Up 2.4. Totally deserved on so many levels. But, I'm seeing small bits of progress (not eating as much junk, of course that's because there's not much left ๐Ÿคฆ) and I'm moving more, so maybe, just maybe ... 6/26 Wk 1 - 8/14 Wk 8 total -10.6 Lose #10 Challenge 1 โœ”๏ธ ๐ŸŽ‰ 8/14 Wk 8 -10/9 Wk 16 total -20 Lose #10 Challenge 2 โœ”๏ธโœ”๏ธ๐ŸŽ‰โ€ฆ
  • Not great ๐Ÿ˜ž And lack of sleep definitely decreases my ability to focus. I've tried a more scheduled bed and waking time, a relaxing scented mist and lotion, melatonin, and an OTC sleep aid. The OTC is all that's really worked completely, but I don't like to take them, so I only do when I'm desperate, about 3 times a year.โ€ฆ
  • After losing 4 online groups when they made the latest virtual change, I joined one if them (not my original group, or the one I joined when we moved) with my local leader. Now the local meeting is permanently closed, and the center I've been driving 30 min has closed, so I get it All. And can't say im loving it! Iโ€ฆ
  • Also up 2.4# , and I deserve it.
  • That one might work for me now that they closed the center where I went to my in person meeting on Monday. Maybe I'll see you next week Al ๐Ÿ™‚
  • Dennis, I caught this one tonight. What a good group! And I forgot how much I love Lisa's meetings! Maybe I'll see you there sometime ๐Ÿ˜‰
  • @Al_Howard and @lowbar31 which of Lisa's zoom meetings are you attending?
  • That was amazing! I love her, and everything she said! Thanks for mentioning it. She's so inspiring. I totally relate to and love "do what you can". When I got moving last summer, I started slow: Walk 250 steps 7 hours a day Lift 3# weights 3 min on the balance board Etc. And I slowly increased, and I saw results. Greatโ€ฆ
  • Wow! Really, wow! Thanks for sharing your insights! I love everything you said! You go girl!!!
  • Thanks Charlie! So true! And I'm really glad to decided to join us here. I appreciate your insights and encouragement!
  • I posted in 10# thread, but up 0.4. like I noted in Friday's LTL, it's time to make a list, and then make a choice! And btw, I've already decided my choice is to continue, I just have to figure out "why"!
  • This question has been posed at WW repeatedly over the years, but this is timely. I have struggled to get back OP for 5 weeks. Apparently my "why not" is winning over my "why" but it's not a conscious decision. Like Steve, I've thought about this, and read about Murple's list for years, but never actually wrote it out. Itโ€ฆ
  • I wasn't going to do this since I'm coming in late, but after reading 3 'I got nothing' posts in a row ... I am aware! When I eat junk. When I eat high volumes of food. When I eat when I'm not hungry. These are all new since WW. I and mindful! I feel good in my body. I'm not bumping into everything. I don't groan and limpโ€ฆ
  • Lisa was my leader in the 2013-15 range. Lost 90#s with her. I've been meaning to catch her zoom! I know she does a 5:30 Tues, but can't remember which studio. What other meetings are you guys attending? I want to join! I need some familiar faces! WW is closing the studio where I found a group where I felt at home (afterโ€ฆ
  • We have them done (my cousin is a retired CPA but works hard at tax time ๐Ÿ™‚). That being said, I have nothing to do with them! DH handles it. So relating that to weight loss, I apparently need a personal chef and meal planner ๐Ÿ˜‚
  • I'm up 0.4#. And I know exactly why. I'm eating too much and the wrong things (chips & cheese, grilled cheese, things I haven't eaten in over a year). Truthfully, it should probably be an even higher gain. Every morning I decide to get on track, and by noon ๐Ÿคท. So this week's plan is to plan, buy ingredients for, and cook 3โ€ฆ
  • Snacking for me is like a ball rolling down a hill. It doesn't start on it's own, but once I nudge it, it's hard to catch up and stop it ๐Ÿ™„
  • Our local GS offered the option of delivering them to local fire, police or ER workers. Having no contact with them made it much easier to not eat. Once they're in my house, they're as good as in my belly too!
