Yes yes yes all great comments. Thanks! Was having a real bad morning after the weigh in :'(

*sipping my green tea* living the dream. FYI..I have peed like hourly at my office. Hopefully I will pee away these nasty ugly 15's.

I used a food scale for some things. Cereal, fruits, yogurt, rice, pasta, whatever I can accurately weigh. I don't drink liquids with calories above 60, the things I estimate, I ensure to log more than I eat to try to balance inaccuracies. I also scan bar code when I can and stick to the "portion" amount. I dont think it's…

Yup, I can't believe some people actually bought the wipes for $30!!!

I could do it. When i dropped a good amount of my weight i had no goal. Still dont. No magic number. No aim. I just changed the way i ate, exercised more. Mindful eating. I did get and still am a little calorie obsessed as in thought about every piece of food as a number before i ate it. I have loosened quite a bit but…

Happening in Canada too. Very sneakily too. Normal sale prices higher, or no sales at all, yesterday a high end supermarket got dragged on the news for selling lysol wipes for $29.99. Rationed grocery too. 2 items each for food, 1 paper product. For a large family like mine, i have never spent more money on essentials.…

Thanks

Agreed! I knew i had relaxed big time but not so big that my weight loss game is over..but you are so right. I am being very precise this week and next. Let's see how that works out!

Thanks a lot for the encouraging words Oh how i wish it was muscles!!!! My arm skin hangs about 1.5 inches down and is wrinkled now. As are my sad boobs. So so sad. My stomach probably has fat in it, but when laying down my hip bones are saying hello but in a high waisterd tight jeans i can fold my stomach lengthwise on…

LMAO! That is wayyyy too much for me. Tea is zero. If its 6 cals i will live. I added the milk on the app and the medium is 30, large 44 and xl 52. If its 76 let's pray i have somehow breathed deeply and burned the extra 16-24 sneaky calories i have been lying to myself about🤣 I promise there is no Tim' s sabotage but i…

Absolutely, thank you!

This is great. I actually consciously stopped logging everything and skipped some days on purpose. It just seemed overkill. I had a few celebrations in January and February where we stayed in a hotel etc, so i couldn't be as strict. Good thing is i still make "better" choices, but there was treats/some alchohol involved.…

My diary is open. Also, consider this, i stayed 293-295 lbs for 12-14 years with no gain or loss eating anything i wanted. I mean ANYTHING. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I was thinking about that too, due for a physical. Thank you!

It's pretty bad. My arms were very big when i was heavier. I have definate wings unfortunately..my stomach has a lot too, especially after 6 pregnancies at almost 300 lbs. Not sure what skin weighs. Maybe tops 10 lbs? But i honestly do not know. I have loose skin on arms, my sides of my boobs, belly and thighs.

Well, not specifically but i scan as i go if possible but i am sure nothing is 100% accurate so i could be 100-300 calories off but this shouldn't cause an issue if i am logging 1100 or so. Mfp is telling me to eat 1700 plus to lose .5 a week!

Just checked, my diary is public. I am originally from the Caribbean so if you see anything in there that you don't recognize just ask me! Thanks everyone

All good points. The food logging options can be wild. HOWEVER been doing this a long time and caught on early so if i cant scan an item, i am realistic about what i log. I also do not use the mfp calories burn. Seem way too high so I low ball it using the machine with my weight input loosely (although i know that might be…

Lol. I do not kid myself. I am a grown up and own a food scale. I track honestly and if I am in doubt I overestimate. There is no reason for me to "lie to myself" I was honest before and now. Thanks

Thank you! I certain am proud of myself. Definitely more off on weekends just because I am not on my rigid routine but it is so hard for me to believe I am seriously over eating enough to sabotage even a small slow downward trend. I am ok with .5 pound loss a week at this point and overall its just not happening. I think…

Similar body...6 kids later and 90 lbs gone. Arms are so bad..everything sags n jiggles. Your amazing and beautiful and brave. Do skin surgery if u want or not. I am sure you will be ok either way. Dress the skin in all the clothes that can now fit. U go!

I meant i eat normally for my family and friends. Most people i know are not on a calorie restriction diet. Yes i understand exactly what you mean however im a naturally large statured person i was 222 lbs at 19 yrs old and looked and felt amazing. I mentioned my eating prior because i have a few friends that eat very…

Thanks! I might try it!

Darling you can do it! Believe me! I have SIX kids. Talk about exausted! But i have more energy since working out and eating healthy. I have always been big too and i will never not be plus size but it feels good to feel good ya know? Im here if u ever need to talk.

Thanks! I won't ;)

Well..im never hungry thats for sure. I'm eating much more than i used to just all good stuff. I feel good which is great. Im the cook and baker in the house and while im on mat leave im so bored so i bake..then sample etc so i figure cut all that out. I have found some great healthier pasta options such as ancient grains…

I hope so! Just so aggravating. I want to challenge myself and losing is so motivating.
