  • Great job! I am at 164lbs and want to lose 25 more pounds. I recently gained 4-5 pounds so working to get those pounds off. That's my mini goal. I had a good day today and think I'm on the right path. I'm wishing you continued success!!
  • @dianalmay8 That’s great to hear! Thanks for sharing your experience. My concern has always been that I will gain the weight back after stopping ozempic. I see that it doesn’t have to happen as long as you keep your calories in check and exercise.
  • To see 155 on the scale. I’ve been hovering between 156 and 159 for a very long time.
  • My mini goal is to do strength training twice a week and to include vegetables or fruit with every meal. I’ll see how things are looking a month from now and go from there. Hoping to lose a solid 3 lbs in the next month and a half. Slowly but surely!
  • I went from 10lb dumbbells to 12lb dumbbells and think I can soon go a bit heavier. Thrilled I’m making progress! Also instead of candy at night i had some sweet juicy pineapple.
  • I’ve been taking Ozempic for over a year and have not seen much of a weight change. Under 5 lbs. I’ve been trying but haven’t watched what I eat closely enough or exercised consistently enough. Ozempic isn’t a magic pill. At least it’s not for me. I do have to put the work in by decreasing my calories and increasing my…
  • I think celery has a very distinct flavour too. I tried it with hummus and kind of enjoyed it. Better than the cream cheese I thought. I’m making a chicken stock right now out of chicken bones, celery, onions and carrots. I like celery cooked. I have 2 stalks left. I think I’ll try peanut butter on one and use the other…
  • After many years of disliking raw celery I finally decided I would give it another try. Well. I still can’t say I like it. I love the crunch but don’t like the taste. I have tried it with cream cheese. Seems like a waste of cream cheese. I will try it with various other things such as peanut butter, hummus, maybe some…
  • Homemade broccoli soup for dinner. However for lunch I had a burger and a beer so it all evens out! 😊
  • Food scale Water Eggs Meat/poultry Vegetables
  • I’m Canadian and we all call it pop. I like my diet ginger ale. I have about a cup twice a day. I also have a soda stream so I make sparkling water a lot. I guess I like the bubbles. I drank regular pop as a kid but had no trouble transitioning to diet and I actually prefer it. I find regular pop too sweet!
  • I tried on a black mini skirt I used to wear when I was much slimmer. I thought I wouldn't be able to get it over my thighs. Turned out that not only could I get it over my thighs but my hips too. I couldn't zip it up but it was so much closer to fitting than I thought it would be. I remember how great this skirt looked…
  • I am now in the overweight category instead of obese! My next mini goal is to maintain over the holidays and then lose 5 pounds over January and February and March to bring me to 153lbs. I'm losing slowly but I'm not gaining the weight back so it's working well for me. :) My ultimate goal is to be 130lbs. I'll get there in…
  • @kshama2001 I'm so sorry you're going through this. I wish you all the best.
  • @LoveyChar Thanks. My brother is here now and it is so nice to see him. he has invited me and my other brother to spend Christmas in Newfoundland with family so we will all be together for the holidays. It will be sad without my mum though.
  • @LoveyChar I'm glad you are feeling better after a good night's sleep. So sorry for your loss. Your aunt obviously means a lot to you. My mother passed away last week. it's been a very difficult and sad week and I'm hoping I'm not falling into a depression. I have two brothers. One lives here and the other lives on the…
  • I've been doing IF for about 2 months now. I eat between noon and 8pm and then fast till noon. So basically I don't eat after dinner and I skip breakfast. It's been working rather well for me. I think the biggest help is not snacking at night. That used to pile on the calories. I am keeping my calories in check while doing…
  • Update. My mini goal of being in the overweight category by Halloween has already been achieved! I'm thrilled! Now I have a new mini goal of being 154lbs by Halloween. My ultimate goal weight is 130lbs. My highest weight was 179lbs.
  • October Start Weight: 156.8lbs October Goal Weight: 154lbs Ultimate Goal Weight: 130lbs October 1: 156.8lbs October 8: October 15: October 22: October 28: October 31:
  • I've basically been maintaining for the past year, my weight going up and down the same 5 pounds and hovering just at above the overweight category into the obese category. Well, my weight is finally shifting down again thanks to intermittent fasting. I really want to get clearly into the overweight category. Just 2 pounds…
  • Yes. I've been doing 16:8 for about 2 weeks now. It's getting easier. I used to struggle a bit in the evenings even though I had dinner at 7-8pm. I was used to snacking at night so this has eliminated that habit. I haven't lost much weight yet. I'm on the low side of my usual weight range though. I'm going to keep it up…
  • I second Greek yogurt with fruit and ground flax seeds. I use plain Greek yogurt I add a drizzle of maple syrup.
  • My mini goal is to hit 155lbs. I haven’t seen that number in years. I’m 160 lbs now so 5 lbs to go!
  • I went swimming today and actually liked how I looked in my swimsuit! It’s a size 12 and I still have a way to go but pleasantly surprised that I felt good. Also I had one square of a chocolate bar and put the rest back in the cupboard.
  • I want to hit 157 lbs by the beginning of March. I’m 158.8lbs now. It will put me out of the obese category! Can’t wait to see that number!!
  • Hello from Toronto! 😃
  • I did lose about 15 lbs following Pahla B’s 5-0 method. I focused on calorie counting as I do in mfp and almost daily moderate exercise. I just stuck with it and had good results. Then I stopped for some reason and have been struggling to lose much. I think it just gave me structure and I knew if I followed it I would lose…
  • I reached my mini goal of getting to 158lbs which put me at an overweight bmi. However I gained 2-3 pounds over the holidays so my mini goal again is to get to 158 lbs!
  • Reach my goal of 130lbs. I need to lose 30 lbs to get there. I think I can do it! 😃
