I was in the neighborhood of a Trader Joe's for the first time and decided to check it out. Tried a few of their stuff and loved each one especially the macarons! I tried looking for the cinnamon bun spread that was mentioned here but could not find it :( Do only certain Trader joe's carry it? The store was much smaller…

Mmmmm waffles..

Honestly there is no way to handle my condition (bipolar mania) without my medications. As long as I am on my meds I can function like a normal human being albeit sometimes I still have hypomanic periods but these are much less severe compared to a full blown manic attack. My main struggle diet wise is that my medication…

The Halo Top new products are apparently only available in the UK?

That would be a total win in my books.

This progress photo is not of my entire journey but it is from Sept last year to sept this year at the same charity event (168 pounds to 134 pounds)

The most common trend for my is staying around the same weight between Mon-Friday and then seeing the loss on Sat-Mon.

Current Weight: 135 lbs Challenge Goal: 128 lbs Ultimate Goal: 120 lbs Weigh Ins: 9/13 134.4 lbs 9/20 135 lbs 9/27 133 lbs 10/4 135.4 lbs 10/11 134 lbs I've done well all week and thought I would at least make it back to 133... 10/18 133 lbs I can't believe it took me 3 weeks to get back here! Definitely not going to make…

My goal weight is the weight I was back in Highschool which I remember being in the 120's so I worked off of that and set it at 125 lbs. This is actually the middle of the bmi range for me at 5'4". I am 8 lbs away from this weight now and will evaluate whether I want to lose more once I reach it.

I love so many but off the top of my head:

I lost weight without actively trying when I went off of my medications but quickly regained it when I went back on them due to their crazy increase in my appetite. It is such a struggle but something I am willing to deal with to be mentally healthy.

I love cheddar broccoli soup as well as minestrone! I need to try some new flavours though, as much as I like soup there are plenty out there I haven't tried.

I've recently discovered fried glazed croissants and they are absolutely delicious...

I can fall asleep hungry most of the time unless my stomach is actively growling and I am experiencing hunger pains then I probably couldn't but that never happens to me.

I wouldn't consider that 'slow'.

I absolutely love my air fryer. Very good at crisping frozen items like fries, onion rings, chicken tenders etc. It is also fantastic for making wings.

I went over my calories last weekend and went up from 133 lbs to 138 lbs....Today I am at 134.6 lbs, not quite back to the previous weight but getting there. I wish my body would not take so long to flush out the water weight :(

I am pretty sure it is a local Cincinnati area Asian market called Cam International. This is not an Asian product though it is European if that helps. I am unsure of who else would carry it!

I am married but my husband rarely ever cooks for himself or the two of us. I like to cook but find it very time consuming so do not do it as often as I would like, perhaps 1-3 times a week.

I found this at an asian grocery and its amazing for only 70 calories! It's a bit pricey at $1 a pop but totally worth it. I suggest this is anyone can find it in their area :)

First main thing to look into if this has persisted for more than several weeks is what most people are recommending, you're food intake. Be sure you are weighing everything that can be weighed!

I have been doing this lately and not accounting for it....probably should stop.

Cheesecake factory toasted marshmallow s'mores galore... OR Adam's peanut butter cup fudge ripple ..

I was curious and looked it up and apparently Kroger also carries them! I don't usually shop at Kroger but I would make a stop for these :) Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are way too far from where I live unfortunately. I've never heard of the gum drop grapes but that sounds pretty good too!

I was also very sad to see that notification. Why take away a good thing?

It would definitely not be my first choice but I do like it.

I stumbled upon the cotton candy grapes while visiting family in Canada and OMG they are delicious. Very pricey though lol.

Keeping low calorie snacks around helps me tremendously.
