Weekly check-in: Past week we had some more rain ... I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record... So no biking, no diving. We've decided to go to Egypt again, we will leave this Thursday, back a week later. At least we will have some sunshine! It will be searing hot, but on a boat and diving all the time we'll have…

Visualise it and then write it down!! That’s what got me going. Write it down and read it every day. Flash cards, reminder on your phone, whatever you want, but be reminded of your WHY every day 😉

Zumba without AC!! Gold medal for sure! 🎖️

That soundtrack is embedded in my memory forever !

Hubby is also like that and can eat without logging and lose weight, but his 'calories out' are much higher than mine. We both eat healthy foods 95% of the time; just the occasional cookie or beer from time to time. But if I don't weigh everything, then I simply eat too much of the healthy stuff. I can easily eat double…

You are an inspiration Ann ! Thank you so much for all your sound information (yours and many others, they know who they are !), it has helped me so much on my journey. :smiley:

@dmsl977 & @CherylTellez : we had a serious heatwave here in Northern Europe, but now we have rain, rain, rain and then some more. And low temps, it almost feel like fall weather :cry: We are trying as best as we can to get steps in, but biking is a no go... Tomorrow is my day off and instead of diving I will go to the…

You can flag their posts. If more people do it (I think it needs 3 flags), mods will look at the profile.

Well @CeeBeeSlim : that makes two of us off track ! Yesterday, hubbie discovered the rest of the cookies that I had bought for the family bbq two weeks ago. He took two and left the box in my vicinity. Well... the good news is that I won't be tempted again because now they are all gone !! I logged them and I was 1.400 kcal…

If it is domestic you can even consider a gouda type cheese sandwich made on whole wheat bread. I even pack these from Europe to the Middle-East, I never had an issue. They don't smell and have a good shelf life (12 hours is fine). Also jam sandwiches for breakfast. I will always avoid airline / airport food as I find it…

I'm a carbs girl, can't help it :blush: I've lost all the weight without paying any attention to protein and in my humble opinion it is a bit overrated. I do go for fiber though and I will always choose unrefined if I can. But with everything about weightloss, everyone must do what they find works for them. So many people,…

Very snotty sunny side ups ! The whites half way cooked and yolks completely runny. Served with salt flakes and toast. :yum:

Some leftovers of Sunday family bbq yesterday evening: marinated chicken with roasted veggies and a dash of aioli - unintentionally low carb as the potatoes were gone :confused: And today's lunch, the watermelon salad, inspired by @acpgee

@dmsl977: welcome here. Your goals are very close to mine: getting back to more activity and less snacking ! There lies the answer, but it ain't easy !

Thanks for the tip about molasses @acpgee ! I love endives (I live in Belgium), and I especially like them with a good handful of chopped parsley, or broiled in a bit of beer. Or in the oven: roll some parboiled endives each in a slice of ham, cover with bechamel, top with grated cheese and in the oven for 30 minutes.…

I'm going to make that salad for lunch today, it looks really good. I don't have molasses, but I guess a bit of honey and lemon juice will also do.

@ceebeeslim: Luckily, we've had extremely warm weather but nothing like the more southern countries like Italy and Spain where being outside meant it was hard to breathe ! My steps have been affected by the weather, not dangerously hot, but still hot and loads of torrential rains and thunderstorms. Anyways, thanks to your…

From a more pragmatic point of view: what I did was think about coping strategies at the start, BEFORE it would get hard. You know that one day, in the near future, you'll want to eat a <piece of pie> instead of an <apple> (insert anything that applies to you). So sit down while you are calm and not in the middle of a…
