a size 14P lavender sheath dress I have had about 20 years never worn and I want to wear my wedding ring again.

I saw where you said your clothes felt a bit better. Hold tight to that victory. A food scale and portion check is good but you seem to have that. You are stepping/exercise. Hang on and keep on. (Are you eating enough?) Take the weekend off from weighing you and just breathe and enjoy things you like to do. Can't advise on…

Welcome and get tracking.

Hello. I encourage you to give it your best. Measure/weigh your portions. And welcome in.

When my mother died and my dad was clueless.

Hmm, the above have solid advice. If you just need lower cals, fat-free milk, no chocolate, 1 cup oats, eat avocado for lunch, syrup? Weigh things until you know sizes and best always weigh and measure.

Hmm, we have nothing in common other than appreciation of friends. I am 60+, USA mom of a 10 year autistic son who drove me nuts today. I need to dump a lot (60-70 pounds, I don't know stones or kilograms). I think IF is one of the best strategies I've tried. I started this last lose it campaign Jan 17 and think I may have…

Tracking on here made me realize that calories sort of sneak around. I don't eat more when I exercise. I want to lose weight so I need deficits. I've learned more about foods with tracking and can even begin wondering about a few things that maybe I can't eat if I want to feel better (no salads out). Good effort on the…

I hate the cold, too. I also sometimes admit I feel better after exercising. Do what you can and try to add in calorie burning exercise when you can or even fun stuff!

I think IF is helping me. I am a 16:8 and hadn't thought of changing. I am diabetic and would be a little shaky but maybe in the future. I am not so hungry and I get full quickly so 'have' to eat smaller amounts now.

Yep. You will soon be an old pro on these message boards. I have found joining some of the threads helpful, too. I like the One Day at a Time bunch. I am doing a 30 mins a day challenge for exercise this month. Drop in anywhere.

Sounds like you have got this all worked out. Every thing I am trying to do, you are doing. Great and hope I can be more like you!

The yogurt would be good. I have a drink by the bed-sometimes tea, sometimes milk. Water--if I don't drink it, I use it for taking morning pills.

Good. Hop on in anywhere.

Please hang in here. I have quit so many times and here I am again. I have tried many things and never stuck the course but here I found a group of people who always are encouraging and they have been successful as was I then. My main goal is to live so I can care for my son. I am stumbling but trying. AND if you have lost…

At the last official weigh-in, 181.2. A loss is good but I suppose my first week made me expect too much.

At the last official weigh-in, 184. But I bought a new scale for home today--181 it said. Official weight tomorrow Tuesday and I am hoping these 3 stay lost.

I try not to eat before 10 am or after 6 pm. I drink lots of celestial seasonings apple cinnamon tea. I do think this has made a good difference for me.

At the last official weigh-in, 184. That was last Tuesday in January. And now, let me take a deep breath and do this Feb 2020.

How is it going? Today/Tuesday is my first weigh-in and I have another hour. I am going to walk as the meeting is only about 3 blocks away and then 3 flights of stairs. Son is sicker so he is to stay glued to my bed and I hope his eyes won't be damaged by tv or youtube depending on what he does while I am gone. I tried a…
