I'm always getting in my own way! I was thinking about it today ... I'm fine not eating until noon or so, then I start and, even tho I'm eating well within my points, I just keep eating even though I'm not hungry anymore. This is a reoccurring problem, one I have more often then I don't. And occasionally I'll come up with…

I could comment, but I'll just say DITTO!

I don't really have a routine, but ... I usually wake around 7. Mon, Tues and We'd I have meetings around 9, so I WI every morning, shower and dressed, and a cup of tea or bottle of water. 1st meal is between 11 and 12 and varies (sometimes eggs, sometimes plan ahead from dinner). The rest of the week is up to me, unless I…

It's huge for me! If I "blow it" early in the week and eats too much (go into my weeklies), I feel behind, and that leads to the "f it" mentality. Same for exercise, stuff early in the week and I'm done. Right now, being in a StepBet is helping. Im determined to get my money back, so I'm making sure to get exercise. I need…

Pork tenderloin, 3 oz 122 cal 2SP Potato chips 7/8 oz 130 cal 4SP Bacon 1 oz. 132 cal 4SP Hard candy 1 1/8 oz 124 cal 6SP Caramels 1 1/8 oz 122 cal 6SP Just a side note, 4 oz of pork tenderloin is also 2 SPs

The points for foods are calculated the same for all plans unless they are a 0 SP food. Green has the fewest 0 SP foods and you get the most DPs. Purple has the most 0 SP foods and you get the fewest DPs. Blue us in the middle. Purple is close to simply filling. Green and blue to PP and SF. I'm not sure which is which,…

From March to early June I ate and sat. When that wasn't giving me the results I desired, I established new daily routines that included light exercise and tracking food. That, not surprisingly, did yield the desired results. Over the months I've added more moving, reps, and weights. And I've been a bit shocked by how much…

Even 🙄

Even this week, 0+/-. Still not making any real progress! I need a couple pounds to move for my DietBet WI on 1/20 so will be tightening up more this week. Snacks were my problem this week, w/in points but not low enough to lose. Exercise was great this week so I'll continue that, and hopefully be celebrating another #10…

Sriracha goes on just about anything! Yum! My go to for a little kick!

I feel ya! My weeklies just went down 😔

I'm definitely a fan of condiments! And it depends on which one how I handle it. Ketchup I used sparingly. As well as steak sauce, so don't count it. The exception is cocktail sauce, because I use a lot. I always weigh salad dressing. I count bbq sauce since it's pretty high in sugar. I'm a fan of g Hugh's sf terryaki and…

I'm definitely an agitated eater! If I can catch myself on the way to the kitchen, I can pretty consistently head myself off and make a good choice. But once I get started ....

I felt like my eyes were opened when Emmie and George said fried foods don't agree with them anymore. I thought, age must be why they just don't settle well anymore. But then countcurt said he's not sure they ever did agree, and💡! I remember that I used to feel icky a lot, but it was the norm for my overeating self whose…

I'm similar to countcurt. I like a large variety, mostly not sweet. Wines, esp dry reds, crisp whites, ports are some favs. I'm a fan of tito's or Gin and tonic, and DS has gotten interested in gins, so I'm drinking a variety of them. I love a dry martini too! Sipping bourbon neat is new in the last couple years, and DH,…

You're welcome! Gotta save $$$ where we can 😁

Fried foods are mostly excluded, initially because of high points but now because I don't enjoy greasy food anymore. At least not in high volume. I do help DH with onion rings (only a couple) and french fries (I'm usually disappointed, preferred crispy air fried these days). I've also excluded most fast food, chinese, and…

I'm down 0.8 but this doesn't reflect the almost flat line that I'm experiencing, my projected goal date is 2034!!! On the bright side, if the bags under my eyes are any indication, I'd say im retaining water 🤷. My stomach has been "off" so I'm just not drinking as much these days. AND I'm really tired of the long list of…

Down 0.8 Not really a clear pic of where I'm at. More in #10 thread Of course you are @steve0mania LOL. Gotta love the lack of correlation (short term anyway) between the brain and body 🤷

I've had wild game: bear, venison, rabbit, squirrel, elk, turtle, alligator (in NOLA). Head cheese was a speciality if my polish gma. Once she died I never ate it again. She also made china, duck soup, made with the ducks blood. The flavor is good but it's a little grainy. Oyster dressing was my other gmas speciality. I…

Charlie's comment reminded me of the technique for the week, cutting out the friction that keeps us from doing what we want to do. Which can also be turned around to adding friction to keep us from doing what we don't want to do, ie. putting steps between grabbing a high cal snack and us, putting it in a cupboard instead…

Ok 😂

I kept the xmas snacks out on the counter when mom was here for 4 days. No temptation because she was here, and she's proud of my progress. No way I was letting her down! But the minute DH drove off with her, I put all of it away. Then I did some pacing to get 250 steps in the hour and noticed the candy dish of xmas choc…

I keep coming back to this post, but I'm just not sure what I think about it. I'm stuck on the word fear. If I fear goal, it's my ability to stay there w/I the reward of a moving scale. Not sure if that's the case or not. I'm definitely discouraged by the lack of response to a good day vs. the quick response to a bad day.…

They don't accept self posted WIs, but they kept moving the date out for when lifetimes needed to WI. I think it was Feb last I heard, but lots of exceptions being made due to Covid

I don't think that's true anymore. I think you'd just have to go in a studio and WI. I guess I'm not sure tho. And honestly, most of the info is online these days. The updated app is really good! If you want, I'd be glad to mail you the latest booklet Steve.

I was a cheerleader in elementary school ... my imagination is running wild LOL 🤣 🤸😂

I don't specifically target my flexibility, but dancing with Simply smiling and general exercise has helped a lot. I'm amazed at how much better my body is moving! As for achy, my legs, but I'm thinking that's due to the squats I've been doing the last couple weeks LOL

Up 0.4. May be due to increased exercise, or too much junk (but I think I tracked accurately), or sodium or digestive issues. We'll see next week. 6/26 Wk 1 - 8/14 Wk 8 total -10.6 Lose #10 Challenge 1 ✔️ 🎉 8/14 Wk 8 -10/9 Wk 16 total -20 Lose #10 Challenge 2 ✔️✔️ 10/16 Week 17 -0.4 total -20.4 10/23 Week 18 -0.4 total…
