Feel free to add me. I think we all need support on this weightless journey.

Welcome. Your in the right place.

For me its not looking at the big picture but the smaller ones. I look at 5 pounds at a time. I make a box with 5 pounds on it with small little check boxes under and put on my refrigerator or where i look everyday and each time 1 pound is gone i check off. Feels like a great accomplishment when all 5 are checked. Just…

I would take a break and listen to your body. But defintley walk on off days.

I have Celiac and over weight. I was thin as a child and can remember my mother telling me stand up suck that gut in you look 6 months pregnant. Well testing was not all available. Not all test are accurate either as it took a test 2 times and it took like years to figure out that there was something going on. Trust me…

Peanut butter with celery has been all time favorite.

Thank you everyone for the info. Very helpful.

Have you thought of going at different time where its less busy. Because i was the same way at first and switch things up and even when i am there i put in ear phones and listen to up lifting music so I feel good about being there. What i do is 3 days a week at gym and then the other days are home video work outs.If not I…

Feel free to ad me. I restarted this journey as well in January. We are here to help each other and keep one inspired and motivated.

I totally quit soda. For me it was ulcers and had to give up acid food. Which was strange to think i actually would give it up. So i just decided i will try each day to not have any and the next thing you know i was no longer wanting it. I have not had a soda since Jan 5th.

I have lost 23 pounds and 13 inches. I also noticed in the way my clothes fit and in my face especially.

I had the same experience and lost a bunch a weight and then gained. I re-started in January again. So welcome back and feel free to add me if you need extra support . Would love to chat and gain some extra friends who are on the same journey as me.

I love juicing my veggies. Its a nice way to get them in. I also eat them whole through out the day. I alter every other day. one day I do spinach , celery, apples. Then second day ill do spinach /mango/ strawberries. I try try to have variety.

I always track when i eat out. Most places i can put in the search of MFP and will bring up. If not i google it and try to find the best fit. What i find if i dont log when i eat out that it allows me to cheat .

I am pretty sure i will have to log or count calories. The minute i dont is when i loose focus and slowly weight always comes back on. As , I still have a long way to go.

Hey Zuek, Your in the right place for sure. I had a slump myself for a bit. I had cut out foods that I thought was the issue but for some reason i was still gaining weight and I would wake up with terrible pain and could not get out of bed and put me in a funk you could say and leaned towards comfortable food. Long story…

I count anything that beyond my day which is increased activity. However, I try and get 10,000 steps in the day and do monitor that but only count my exercise when i go to gym or do a work out at home since i have an office job.

I do a fast once a week usually on Sundays to boost my metabolism.

welcome. Your in the right place for extra motivation. Just log everyday and you will be fine. Feel free to add me.

I have not done anything for my weight loss. might be something to consider.

Great job and defintley inspiring.

I had some weight gain myself but not for the same reasons as you do. I am not a doctor by any means. I do know we can eat super healthy and all and dont realize certain things can hold on to weight and cause gain even if there is no sodium in it. This is why I also do measurements to know not to totally count on the…

Definitely more friends for support and motivation is always a plus.

as long as your eating enough foods your fine. I look at it this way Breakfast is your first meal of the day and when that is is up to you. some days i dont eat till 11 and i am just fine and still get enough food through out the day.

I have a thrive lifestyle mix. I use to drink coffee all the time. I now have as treat and if i do its in the afternoon.

I think it can be a personal thing. For some weighing too much can get you down since our weight does fluctuate. For me personally,it makes me grounded and focused if i am aware of what the scale is doing. I also, do my measurements so i dont just count on my scale for loss.

I was feeling this way in January. When i could not loose weight and there were other medical issues causing me some weight gain. So i eliminated those foods and now am doing the Alkaline 80/20 plan. so i eat a variety of veggies/fruits/proteins. I joined a Facebook support group so i can get lots of support and new…

Ok, thanks. Im really focused on this weight loss thing. So far I have lost 21 pounds . It just seemed like a high number.

Not much. However, i did have a few friend invites and reached out to 1. So hopefully ill make more friends on here as well.
