I kind of started to lose my mojo toward the end of last session. I’m hoping this will keep me double accountable ;)

Hi Amber, We weigh in once a week, on Mondays. I post the weigh in announcement and you copy and enter your info as the weeks progress. From time to time, hopefully weekly, I will be posting challenges and discussions. You can get a feel for the weigh in posts by looking at how it was last session. During the initial weigh…

Everyone in the group is helpful and encouraging, so welcome aboard! To respond to a post, click on the “quote “ and then scroll down to the bottom of your screen and…

@bribucks How is your tummy? Keep looking for the answers! @mebelfanti You are looking so good! Seeing the changes must make you very proud. Keep up the good work! @leonadixon I'm so up for spring! Once I get past April 15, my summer schedule takes over and the stress goes way down! Also, my main spring exercise is getting…

Week 12 — Start Weight: 187.2 Challenge Goal Weight: 167 Weigh-in #12: 174.6 Please share your final thoughts: I was a little ambitious with my goal for this session. Still, even though there were some deviations from my plan, I lost 12.6 pounds (a pound a week) and 8.25 inches. Spring is my best time for dieting with…

Green beer elbow? ;)

Unfortunately most of “western medicine” seems to go with pharmaceuticals even before they know what is wrong. Reading the side effects makes me wonder if the symptoms aren’t sometimes better than the cure. If your insurance will cover, try naturopathic doctor or maybe dietitian/nutritionist. I think they are better at…

Sorry for your continuing tummy troubles. My daughter is experiencing similar. It’s very frustrating when the doctors do the tests, the results come back clear and they act like they have done their due diligence and walk away. None of which provides you with a solution. One doctor told my daughter that daily nausea and…

Thanks so much for leading! Life is so busy for us all and your efforts are much appreciated!

My number one go to when I’m craving sweets is apple cinnamon tea. I like to snack on baby carrots, grape tomatoes, plain almonds, and the very rare treat of a Fiber One brownie. I try really hard to stay away from processed food as flavor enhancers such as MSG wreak havoc on my gut. (TMI). I try to plan my food day the…

Thanks! That’s why I think my expectations were too high. I’m adjusting my perspective

Sounds fantastic but dangerous :smile:

Depends on what you ate growing up. Taco Bell is like the crack of junk food. Once you’ve got the taste for it, you can’t drive by without it calling to you. My son-in-law is from the South and feels the same about ChikFil-a

Ocuvite 50+ multi Vit D Vit E CoQ10 Vit C B complex Biotin (for my nails) Seems like a lot but my doctor said the mix was ok so to keep doing what I’m doing. The only interesting thing is that when I tested low for Vit D, my previous doctor put me on 50k units once a week for 12 weeks and then when I asked for a retest to…

If you try fish oil, you might take it in the evening to avoid fishy burps.

I think it’s a result of giving up the habit of stress eating. Some new habit needs to fill the gap. I crochet. My daughter journals. At night after I climb in bed and turn out the light, if I can’t sleep, I pray the Rosary, which I find calming, but you could try any prayer or meditation that is part of your faith…

My daughter does that but it seems to have skipped a generation. I can’t tell you how many times I have come home from the grocery store, looked at my list and said “ well damn, where’s the ———-?!” For quite a while I tried cooking quite large meals and freezing the leftovers in single serve containers for for husband to…

I feel the same. We had the “clean plate club” growing up. No dessert if you weren’t a member. My brother told me the other day - “remember that it goes to waste or it goes to waist”.

Week 3 Start weight: 187.2 Challenge weight goal: 167 Week 1: 182.2 Week 2: 181 Week 3: 181.2 Positive thought: one bad choice does not ruin all my good choices. Best snack do the week: Walnuts and triscuits I brought from home on the airplane instead of stale peanuts. Best workout: slow workout week for me as I was in…

I take Biotin and Collagen supplements. When I take the biotin consistently, after about 3 months my nails are visibly thicker.
