Next mini goal ... to be under 70 kgs! Been low 70s forever it seems. Now at 72 and working for it!

I have been fluctuating between 72 and 75 kgs since the end of September. At this point I just want to see a 6 at the beginning, even if it is 69.5

I came to wish eveeyone a Very Happy New Year. I have been without my laptop, as you might remember, but I have also been static with my weight. I will see if I can join this next chellenge, ( thank you Barb!) and maybe get on the wagon again!

I have also thought that, why did it take me till 47 to learn about nutrition, and to take myself in hand. Why, when I did every fad diet I heard about, did this not dawn on me? If we are going to fess up to our weigh-ins, I am up again , for a grand total of half kilo lost all month. Since I lost nothing in October, I am…

Niki, if I like food I enjoy eating it for days, so that's a win in my book.

Sorry I'm not posting goals, I still am without computer. I just hope everyone is hanging in there. @GOINSTS12 my condolences. I send you my best wishes for strength in this difficult time. You are off to a greAt start! @ cellosmiles just wow! Congratulations on your willpower.

How low were your carbs? I really dont know that much, I just try to stay under 100.

@jam5660 Yay! Congratulations! This is wonderful news! <3

@Barney. I'm glad you are worjing this out, Sounds like a good plan for thanksgiving. I could probably eat all the stuffing and nothing else if you let me.. So I guess this year I am thankful we don't have thanksgiving here. @Niki you always have good (methodical ) ideas. I'm going to make myself a chart for my wall with…

I am sorry I haven't been posting. November 1 to 10 I ate well and within goal and I felt wonderful. November 11 to 20 I ate terribly ( like 2500 to 3000 calories,) and felt awful. and it wasnt just the calories that made me feel bad, but just the terrible, processed sugary stuff I ate. I need to stop, but I just couldn't.…

HI happygirlxxx! You must do what makes you feel good, but definitely don't drop off this thread! You are doing so well in all aspects! I think tdunnegan listed a format... but the challenge is just exercise in general... so whatever is good for you. Personally I do nothing at all so my goals will be tiny : ) and I hope it…

I have noticed the following... A lot of people comment on my weight loss (I live in a small town and everyone has mostly known me as a little to a lot overweight ) and I smile and say thank you, but it doesn't sink in. However, when the people here are supportive and say hey look at how well you are doing! It really sinks…

@tdunnegan Terry, hang in there! And do Check in when you can.

Very nice! Congrats! @Barb !!! Under 200 is fantastic! I also remember being underwhelmed by various successes... until it sunk in! I'm going to be excited for you! Yay!

Yay! Congratulations!

@birgitkwood . I must say again how glad I am you are here and posting about your maintenance. I think it is so helpful for the rest of us, so we have an idea of what the future holds... and that the future is not so scary! You help keep me grounded. @bapcarrier I can talk the talk, I just can't always walk the walk.…

@happygirlxxx I feel this so much! I do the exact Same thing. And I am still carrying all my bad habits with me. It so surprises me that they aren't gone, I still give in to indulgences even when I KNOW I am not hungry and will feel heavy and bloated and bad after. I still want to eat when I'm sad or mad or stressed or…

Welcome @alanidee @brilessmith and @KolleenS . Good luck with your goals!

Sorry you have to go through this. Do you think being ravenous today is emotional? Also, tell that nurse about your great attitude and your love of life.. there is no way you are regaining! Keep us posted!

@tdunnegan Thanks for your consideration. I will look into those books. As I've said I was so good with this new routine for the first months that it really bothers me that my habits are still there, barely under the surface,, Obviously I'm downing all these calories without hunger. And I'm allowing myself to. Why was…

Can I confess too? My lowest weight was to day, very pleased and then proceeded to eat 2404 calories. What was I thinking? Darned if I know. Ok, back on the wagon tomorrow :smile:

And I loved the pic of the deer! Are we also going to see pics of Amish country, sounds wonderful!

@Nikion901 Thanks for that cause I am having a hard time with the math, it's a little clearer now... I still have to work out my numbers to see if I grasp it. I found the place with the 5 week progression, sorry I can't recall who told me but thanks! But I need to add the following... I don't exercise (i know I need to…
