Saw this group on the list of 'trending' posts -- hadn't seen it before. I've been here a while and once before, too. It is support and encouragement I need! I use intermittent fasting, eating between 10 and 6 daily. I am also on WW and that keeps me exercising. I wish to lose 50 more pounds which represents the loss of 26…

Creeping along here. I have a goal to lose 52 pounds. I did not meet Feb's goal of 169. March 1 170 or so Still cold here March 32 160 anything

Read away. My favorite post is the one about Just for Today (something like that) as many people share lots of things about their days and they live many places.

You are right. I think the season makes us turn more to food than maintaining activity.

Won't it feel good when we get there! Argh, right now, I have a 3 pound yo-yo going. 52 more pounds after these 3.

What would help? A posting I find helpful is the one about A Day at a Time or something like that-not sure of exact title.

Great attitude!

Official weigh in Tues 25th at 172. Down from 194 Jan 14. Have gained 3 days in row to 2/27 174 thinking it is bread, flour as cals and exercise are tracked. 2/28 my scale suggests 169.8 please, please, please 2/29 Goal for March 169.9 then 165 by end

Most recently, I have hoped but not achieved less than 170 #. Feb 19 - 172.4 Feb 23 - Missed a few days but I have been weighing and frittering hither and yon. I think it is perhaps possible that I could be hovering at 169.9. I mean that scale that likes me say it is. The Y scale is snooty, possibly inaccurate b/c it…

For February, last Tuesday's official weigh-in, 172.4 Today is Sunday and TUESDAYs are the weigh in day for me. Feb 1 Sad day-sister died no weighing, barely got out of bed Feb 2 Went to church, had pancakes and sushi, went to YMCA, that scale seems to say 181 my scale is under 184 Feb 3 new scale says 181 did no exercise…

I got fat when I was 7. Mom gave me chocolate milk because I was the smallest. I was not cute and the boys didn't chase me at recess. I learned to go first and read a lot so I didn't hear anything said behind me and would not look alone. I was smaller than my friends but none of them were svelte. We took up the whole…

Well, I am not sure they do. Can you have 1 bite and chew 20 times or just smell it? I can't so have to stick to no and avoidance. Did you eat your protein today? If you eat no sugar for 2 weeks, it begins to be less important as your taste buds recognize more tastes and even sweetness. If you want that, try carrots and/or…

Hello folks. We just had SNOW here, about 2 or less inches, in eastern Virginia. Expecting 70s this next week. I have a snow shovel in the shed I think and that's where it will stay. Me? 63, stay home mom with autistic son. I have lost 17 pounds this past starting month so do not despair. I think Intermittent Fasting has…

Well, come on in and spin a bit. Sounds like you know you can do it so that's great.

Do you and yours like stir-fry? Watch the sauces and then throw what you like in a skillet. I have cabbage, carrots, onions, pea pods, squash, and some meat if I want. I have to watch sodium so soy sauce is limited (low-sodium). I have a small air fryer and it whips thru chicken/pork, vegs, and even fruits. Haven't tried…

1. Sorry you have had to deal with this. 2. I think sammidel above has the speech. Say it a bit loudly near the bus driver and/or any other regular riders who might be good witnesses. 3. Do go to HR as you said you would do in #2 4. Sit silently, face forward from now on near other riders.

Sorry about being mean -- keep in mind the typed words here do not necessarily allow tone or real feelings to come through. I have been here before as well. And I recall it was great so I came back. I think I was majorly lonely and just struggling with son so eating out became a trap. Anyhow, I still eat out and it is not…

I would be tickled to have someone check and keep me hopping. I am beyond 60ish.
