Whelp… I've had a few good weeks building some consistency and not being all willy-nilly over the place, incorporating healthy habits that are important and sustainable to me, doing more 16 hour fasts, getting over 10,000 steps/day and integrating many of Dr. Greger’s daily dozen into my diet. I was so happy to make the…

nstephenson01 Week 4 PW:169.8 CW: 172.8 UGH... blame it on TOM; will have a nice loss next week.

@hope002 Amazing progress! Very inspiring. @Cafelelia Glad you're remaining with the team. Thank you for everything you've done during your captain-hood. You helped me through some rough times on more than one occasion. Glad you're taking time to focus on you and your family! Good luck @minstrelofsarcasm! We're an unruly…

WTG @kirsten11872 You look great and so happy!

Greetings Team! I haven't posted in a while. I've been keeping up on posts but not feeling very talkative. Happy to be back in the 160's yet again. Working on consistency so I'll stay this time around. Basically walking around with blinders on as far as eating goes to avoid temptation and well... to block out the whole…

Very pretty country where you're at @Melzz19. My husband worked in Williston on the DAPL for a while and I kick myself for not hiking more while he was out there. Hey @gingerpwr I live in the Bitterroot!! Hope you had a chance to hike Blodgett Canyon while you were here... its gorgeous. Glacier is spectacular. Next you'll…

nstephenson01 Week 1? PW: 171 CW 174.4 Smack dab in the middle of TOM but haven't seen this number on the scale in over a year so feeling pretty defeated. I don't think I misbehaved that bad this past week but I need to be better disciplined and focused. Onto next week...

@1theresamcvean Thanks for sharing the red lentil curry recipe! I'm definitely going to try it! Beautiful sunflowers @Melzz19! Happy birthday to your dad @tryingagin5! Congrats on returning to the 150's @JillyBT @debbiewsharpe I am in awe of all the steps you get each day! Fantastic!!

Sunday Check In Food: Logged breakfast & lunch but my husband cooked stir fry using snow peas from our garden for dinner and I don't even bother to try to log his concoctions. Pre-planned my food and ate on plan tho. Water: Don't log but did well Exercise & steps: Mowed the lawn; (I use a Fitbit to track my steps) 11,976…

Welcome @debbiewsharpe! Enjoyed reading your introduction Welcome @melzz19 and congratulations on your engagement! My husband works in the oil and gas industry also! Welcome back @jillyBT Get well soon @mrsbell8well Love your new profile pic @timibotkin Welcome @goingape! Great August mini goals @podperson1 July was a bad…

Greetings all! Welcome new and returning team members! How can it be August already?!?! I'm Nancy, 51, originally from California. My husband and I relocated to Montana 8 years ago. We live on 45 acres with our two dogs... a pair of Brittanys named Gauge and Willow, a couple dozen goldfish in an outside pond and a variety…

nstephenson01 Week 5 Thursday PW: 172.8 CW: 171 Weekly steps: 85,401 May have seen a bigger loss but we cooked stir fry for dinner which I know not to do before weigh in day as the sodium in the soy sauce makes me retain water so I'm happy with this loss. Been focusing on eating more fruits & veggies as well as drinking…

nstephenson01 Thursday Week 4 PW: 169.4 CW: 172.8 Weekly Steps: 98,161 Today's weigh in is disappointing but not unexpected. Because its so warm, we've been grilling every night. My husband doesn't like chicken so we're eating more beef and pork than I usually do. I imagine the marinade and spice rubs contain quite a bit…

nstephenson01 Week 3 Thursday PW: 169.6 CW: 169.4 Weekly steps: 108,742 Haven't been 100% committed to my weight loss goals following my birthday and the 4th of July holiday. Finally got around to splurging on my birthday dinner Saturday night and ate my weight in sushi. My husband and I had dinner in the loft of the barn…

Nstephenson01 Thursday Week 1 PW: 168.8 CW: 170.8 Weekly steps: 81,191 Retaining so much water I feel like a hippopotamus. Must be PMS. I don’t feel like I weigh 170.8 and my clothes don’t fit like I gained 2 lbs so not really trusting the scale. Eating has been mostly OK, water and exercise are good but its been a…

I have tried so many times to access this page without success that I just gave up. I've been all willy nilly the past couple of days. Steps and exercise are on point but I haven't logged my food and although I've been skipping breakfast I haven't set my IF app so don't know how long my fasts have been. I do so much better…

Like many of you I am having such a devil of a time with this site. Beautiful picture @sleepymom5. I miss the water @pacsnc6 Thank you for sharing your update. Been thinking about you and send positive energy your way. @podperson1 Welcome to the 170's!!!! Good luck with your counseling session. Wednesday check in Yesterday…

nstephenson01 Thursday Week 4 PW: 168.6 CW: 168.8 Actually quite pleased with this weigh in as my biggest goal for June was to get into and remain in the 160's. It was higher in the week due to too much sodium but I worked hard to overcome that. Goal for July will be to get lower into the 160's.

@freeglerock Love the pictures of your garden and harvest!! Nice loss this week also!! @sleepymom5 LOL I don't think I've ever managed 3 servings of beans! But I have been better about including them in my diet. I like meat/dairy/eggs too much which is why I strive for only 50% of his recommended daily dozen. Tuesday check…

@timibotkin YES!! That’s the one I’m using also :smiley:

Monday check in Goals for this week 10,000 steps/day ✔️ 14,369 steps 30 minutes of exercise/day ✔️ 3.5 mile hike for 1 hr Pre-log food and eat according to plan ✔️ 3 days of 14:10 IF, 2 days of 16:8 IF and 2 non fasting days (TBD & Sun) ✔️ 14:10 IF Another mini goal I forgot to include is related to a book I read last year…

Hello Team and Happy Monday!! Its a much welcomed warm and sunny day here. We had 5 days of rain and I still managed 98,925 steps last week. I'm so over the rain! While my garden seems to prefer rain water to well water, it really needs heat so I'm happy it actually feels like summer. Being back in the 160's makes me feel…

@sleepymom5 you have been such a terrific, supportive captain and I will miss you in that role but am glad you are staying with the team and especially happy you are taking time to spend with Jim. His recovery is such a wonderful blessing. Xoxo @1theresamcvean thank you for stepping into the co-captain shoes. I have…

Nstephenson01 Week 3 Thursday PW: 170 CW: 168.6

Monday check in Food: 14:10 IF. Had a good talking to myself while on my hike about getting my act together so it was a better day food wise Water: Good Steps & Exercise:17,766 steps; 3.5 mile hike with the dogs I played a little game with myself Monday morning... I was hungry but still had 45 minutes left on my fast. A…

Weekend check in Saturday Food: 16:8 IF.

Ate waaaaay too much bacon :neutral: but dinner was pretty healthy. Water: Should have been better in light of my…

Daily check in for Friday Food: 14:10 IF. We got Thai takeout last night for dinner. It was delicious and I ate a bit beyond full. Not as bad as I could have or have done in the past but wasn't as disciplined as @lennoncpa was with your restaurant meal. I'll keep working on it. Water: Good Exercise: 15,888 steps; 4 mile…
