I have decided to just enjoy my Christmas Eve and Christmas with whatever sounds good. I did get on the treadmill today though :) I was actually super proud of myself lol. I probably won't weigh in until next Monday so I don't freak out seeing a high number. Even though I know it's probably mostly water weight, my brain…

As of this morning, I reached the 1st of 10 milestones on my Happy Scale app. 12.5% to my goal.

I did the same thing. I tried weight watchers for a couple weeks but I was starving the entire time. I logged all my food here and it was an average of like 950 calories a day.

Torrid, Old Navy and Target. Sometimes Kohl’s. But I haven’t lost enough to change sizes yet so I’m not sure what I’ll do then.

Breakfast - eggs, cheese, salsa and corn tortillas Lunch - protein bar Dinner - McDonald’s chicken sandwich and fries (only ate half) Dessert - lemon crunch pie. 100% worth the 300 calories

I always thought of loving chocolate being more about loving/being addicted to sugar, but choosing chocolate over other types of sugar. That was basically me. I have never used the term chocoholic though lol. And to add one more.. cake. Cake sucks. I love chocolate. I love frosting. I love pie and cookies and brownies. But…

I started gaining weight almost immediately after high school and when I got married (a year later at 19). I was never overweight until I turned 20 or 21, then the weight came on FAST. I have no idea why so fast, because I didn't really eat healthy before then. I think it was just that I wasn't as active after I graduated,…

Congrats! That is amazing!

We didn't have kids either. The filing itself wasn't difficult, but in California, there is a 6-12 month wait minimum because they are so backlogged with divorces here lol.

I agree with walking to start with. I like it because I can listen to music or listen to an audio book or watch something on my phone if I'm on the treadmill. But then you can also walk outside or pretty much anywhere, and that's free. I was soooo out of shape when I started, and honestly still am to a certain degree. But…

Yeah that happens a lot. I had separated (not legally) from my husband probably 3 times over our 16-year marriage before the last time when we actually got divorced. But once they file, you know it's for real because that alone is a pain in the butt.

Legally separated, maybe. Married and not separated, obviously not.

Diet Coke. Vodka with flavored sparkling water. Sugar free Rockstar. Oh, and I guess water.

This. I'm going to say stop looking, but stay open to it? I got divorced a couple years ago, so clearly I'm THE relationship expert.

Yeah that's kind of what I have been trying to pay attention to. It happens so easily, almost subconsciously.

Oh yeah I forgot people do the weekly thing. That might be good to give me a day this weekend where I can eat a little more (usually when I want to). I have a tendency to gradually eat less and less and less and push myself. Then I'm starving, eat too much, then I go off the rails and binge eat for a few months, then back…

I did when it first happened, but not really since then. It really only hurts when I have these size shoes on, from being tighter on that foot.

Cool thanks. I didn't really notice it a problem when I was walking slow, but when I started adding incline and increasing my speed, that foot started hurting like on the top bone.

Same! Their bars are so gross.. but their peanut butter cookie is amazing.

This. Coffee is mostly water, so I count it as water. I don't count juice or soda, but I can see why people would.

Not going to repeat what anyone else said, but you learn pretty fast that "healthy" and "unhealthy" is highly subjective. People love to put a label on things. I just eat what I want, and if it's in my calories for the day, I feel great about it.

My best motivation is eating my exercise calories. I want extra snacks or dessert, so I exercise to earn them.

If you want basic walking workouts, Jessica Smith is awesome. For a variety of weights, bodyweight, HIIT workouts, I like BodyFitByAmy (Especially if you like Kettlebells, which I love). Yoga with Adrienne is by far the best person for yoga. I also agree with Fitness Blender, especially for variety.

Treadmill for 45 minutes again. Really was not feeling it today, so I went slow-ish.

Definitely. I have more than one guy friend who I have been strictly platonic with for like 20 years.

Is your deficit set at losing 2 lbs a week? It might be a little too much for now. Maybe you can switch it to 1 or 1.5 lbs a week. Those extra calories could make all the difference. Or just eat back more of your exercise calories.

It's hard not to

I forgot my meds

Hey I'll add you. I have about 125 lbs I'm trying to lose.

Early morning - Coffee & protein shake Breakfast - Low-fat waffles w/sugar free syrup & banana Lunch - Turkey sandwich, Cheez-its Dinner - 2 fish tacos, steamed veggies Snack - Justin's hazelnut butter pack
