@debcountsall @KATRENAJ Planning meals is oh so critical. I usually pack 20 almonds in my bag .. but my son raided my almond stash about a week ago and I'm so shocked that I haven't restocked!! The nerve! :) @SammyKlingler I would say keep food the same and increase activity. Walk the puppy a little longer... use stairs…

Hi Everyone. I pop in weekly to see how everyone's doing. Some great successes this challenge. Wow! Loss of 16, 20, and 30+ pounds. That takes commitment. I am so very happy for each of you! The kind words continue to flow ... so uplifting and reassuring. It is very reassuring to know that this can be done. Have a great…

@Jessec80 congrats on the 25 lb loss in3 months. Fantastic! @TripleSnake good to hear you're sleeping better. So important. @mnwalkingqueen I notice your weight loss! @Nikion901 I'm going to check that movie out. Sounds great. Good cast! @Birder165 sabatoge...i hear you. A real challenge for me. Seems ever time I approach…

My weight friday msrch 23 is 230. Down 2 pounds from last week Today I ate a bag of haribo bears and then a lindt 70% cacao bar. Combined calories about 750. Stress eating Endocrinologist ordered more blood work and sent me to hematologist. He's worried. I have diagnosed myself with iron deficiency but now 2 docs dont.…

@buxbert I'm loving the eraser car by the flowers

@BarneyRubbleMD Way to go!!! Down down down!!

@newcaddy Love that pic! So motivating! Finding the right mode of exercise can be a real challenge. Perhaps there's a group fitness class? I find classes get me there (cause I'm paying) and offer the chance to socialize a bit which takes the pain out of the work out. If not, there are plenty of online options where you can…

To all: What is onderland? I keep reading that word and thinking "next time I'll get it"... :p

@NewCaddy I am sorry to hear about your son. Young'ens getting drivers licenses is so stressful! At least it was for me. I am glad he walked away but please know the concussion piece remains in my thoughts with all my best wishes coming your way. Sounds like he's gonna be achey for a while. Stress is definitely a trigger…

@canyonGeek Love your green salad :) And thanks for tracking our journey this challenge.

@jules81 Yes. Absolutely. Visit this post regularly for support and encouragement. It can be so disheartening to see a gain on the scales. Many here have lost weight. Many have lost and gained back (me for one and I'm not alone) But we are all committed to losing. So post. Be honest. Pick a method that works for you.…

To all: thanks for the words of encouragement and hugs! Enjoyed everyone's posts. The ups and downs. Life. Once i am done with reading posts, i find it difficult to keep straight who wrote what. Extended hugs and likes at individual posts. I scale is down for me this week. My nutritionist said I'm going to lose 30 lbs in 4…

@kbeyer23 Oh my goodness, my heart goes out to you. Those last days are true treasures. When my dad passed, he came to and we had 3 hours of laughter and joy before he passed. Such a blessing. I pray for no pain and joyous moments for you and your family. @amberken Hi. Welcome. This is a great place to get support. I'm…

@Nikion901 So you're a hacker!! ;) Thanks for the reference. I'm enjoying it thoroughly. Here's my first take away.. a sound bite to encourage others in this thread to check out the reference you offered: "First, you must fix the problem of not knowing when and how much to eat. As long as you lack that essential…

@moodybear2003 I can so relate to your repeated attempts to lose weight. No soda is a big help. In December, I drank a soda a day for about 18 days (left overs from holidays) and man did I pack on the weight! I quit soda about two years ago. I think it must be all the salt. Of course there were other sweets and snacks that…

Sunday share Read posts from last week. So grateful for how various isues resonate among us... the food we choose even though we know we cAnt restrict ourselves to the portions The angst of gaining back pounds lost. The trials with exercise regimens And the personal events in our lives that one or another of us share in…

@birgitwood Have always wanted to try snowshoeing..Don't really get enough snow here in NJ... maybe next year. Congrats on losing 12 lbs this challenge!! @kbeyer23 Thanks for tea suggestion! I have just gotten back to tea -- my sister makes her own Chai.. she sent me a bag. So delicious!!! @DebCountsAll I can relate to the…

@birgitwood. Catching the gain at 10# is an accomplishment. So congrats on reigning in the havoc. Life is meant to be enjoyed -- I agree. You have the tools needed to shed the weight. I am in your corner. I KNOW you can do this!

@lessofme150 approaching and all time can be daunting. Then there's the daily nag in our heads to do one thing...take one step in the right direction. .and the defeatist feeling when days of inaction build. How to break the chain... one step at a time. As with any addiction. I have fallen of the wagon for several months…

@Nikion901 ups and downs are part of the journey. The sharing of gain and shame is healing. We are all in this together. I do not see you as a failure. I see you as human. And incredibly caring and giving.

Hi everyone. I logged food today the first time in way too long. I decided to sneak a peek at how everyone's doing. I see a number of newbies.. and some returning... I wish you all a great day!

Hi everyone. Have spent about a half hour going back through the thread. I have specifically avoided anything and everything having to do with accountability with the exception of an occasional weigh in. My eating consists predominantly of sugar. Despite this, I must say the holidays were fantastic. However, many in my…

I just did a great post and inadvertently logged off!! Aaargh! Well Thursday truth - I have gained 15 lbs since Sept 1 I am stressed and eating poorly. A constant report here -- sorry about that. I've decided to stop seeing chiro so much. It leaves me with no gym time. The guy asked me to come 3x a week. Now I'm at 2x. I…
