Losing weight slowly, but I am losing Food quality high We ate small amt < 1 oz a couple of days, but we could see it was going to escalate, so we stopped again. Ate lunch out with a friend…then wanted to do it again. Didn’t. Sugar & eating out: both now under control The really good news is I have extended the distance of…

I also tried lentils - liked them more than I thought I would! My taste buds change for the better when I don’t eat sugar YAY Everything is going well. Food is in “remission” ie healthy, cravings gone, Lower calories, only eating at home Exercise is better. Longer walks, more frequent. Sleep is great. It was a difficult…

This September, I will continue the plan I began Aug 29. Tomorrow will be day 7 of perfect food! FOOD Calories< goal Eat only at home. No sugar, white flour, potatoes, white rice, only Ezekiel bread, no crackers or chips 1/2 cup beans/lentils per day on average Large cabbage salad Berries 6oz Cantaloupe 8-11 oz or similar…

Hi Folks I tracked my weight, blood pressure/pulse, and took my blood glucose since I last posted here in July. Scale kept gently going up & my exercise would be gear, but then I’d get sore or it was too hot, etc. Erratic. But I am more fit than late July so I pat myself on va I for that Additionally I successfully got off…

Hi Everyone! July 23 No eating out 1,200-1,500 cals per day Figuring out my exercise given 90+ degree heat Battling chronic loose stools etc since med changes in April. Contacted PCP who deferred to Gastro who did a bunch of tests - ALL Normal who then said it could be medication related. Contacted cardiologist who only…

Well done @RoblinB !! Total steps 163,000 in June + 3 tai chi sessions. I have successfully eaten 3 meals within 8-8.5 hours for the past week. Scale is creeping back down. Sleep is great. A terrific month for all of us! Thank you! Maddie

Congratulations @77tes!!

What a difference two days make…. Awaiting one more lab test result. 4 others were normal. Energy is low & Gastro issues long time now I think it’s side effect from a medicine - will see Sleep❌ Exercise 🆗 Weighing self✅ Tracking all food.🆗

Yes you will @Viridian1539 !! Are you an artist?

Thank you @77tes! Your encouragement really helps. We will get there. Habit by habit! I am making progress. Sleep✅ Exercise✅ Weighing self✅ Tracking all food.✅
