I think I should create a new thread for myself /nodnod

Wow. You've had a lot on your plate recently! I think last year hit us all like a bus. Sounds like you're kicking some major butt though!

Keep it up and yes you will succeed!!

Dang. You beastmode with your plan lol. Maybe your weight isn't going down so much b/c you're working out now so building up some muscle? Are you taking some measurements too? Might be helpful to start doing it if not. Or just pay attention to how clothes are fitting. Like try on something that's a little too tight and…

Thanks guys! And sorry for not posting earlier today! Got distracted with kids' homework and completely forgot. Anywho... Think I left off on Christmas? Just before? Uuuuhm.... things are good. Both kitties are doing great. They were both fixed in January. Both got really mild infections in their incisions, but I took them…

Thanks guys! I'll still definitely post here if everyone is ok just knowing that I won't be going back OMAD lol. I dunno. I think I'm overthinking it lol. I have some chores I really need to get started on now, but will be back tomorrow to blab away and catch back up on everyone!

Hey everyone!! I'm sorry I've been MIA (and looks like so have a lot of people). I hope everyone is doing great. I stopped posting here b/c well... I don't think I'm going to ever go back to OMADing again. Nothing wrong if it works for you, but whenever I tried it, I just found myself getting WAY too obsessed with…

Nah. Other than doing just regular parent things, I'm pretty sedentary. Or I was. I've been taking about every 3rd? day to rest so I'm not jumping rope every day. I do have A LOT of stress in my life though and my sleep in general is usually pretty crappy so I'm sure those aren't helping anything. I'll have to figure out…

I have to do it early right now or I won't do it at all. One of the things I'm battling is my laziness lol. If I put off exercising, I'll make every excuse not to do it, so I do it before I can talk myself out of it. BUT I understand though. Maybe putting it off until later in the day would be better for me. One thing at a…

I do eat more on days that I exercise. BUT maybe my daily intake is still too low b/c I am experiencing a lot of what @heybales mentioned. SF monster= Sugar Free Monster... yes the energy drink lol I wish I could nap, but have my youngest at home and about the time that my energy tanks, I have to go pick up my other 2 at…

When I first started... it took about 30lbs before my clothing size actually started to change and then it seemed to change pretty fast. I started at a loose 18, then it dropped to 16, then quickly to 14 then 12. I could've fit in to a tight 10 at 60lbs lost, but well, then I started gaining some weight back lol.

Short Answer- I'm doing CICO right now. Long Answer- I started off keto. Found it easy to stick with and lost 60lbs only tracking my carbs. When I started slacking off too much, too often, I gained back about 30lbs. It's taken me almost 2? years to finally realize, going back keto and not counting calories just wasn't…

Hey everyone!! Thanksgiving was great. I completely forgot about taking pictures of the things I made lol. But the lemon cheesecake I made was awesome! I used a recipe I found online just for measurements This one But I used more lemon juice (just all that I could get out of the 2 lemons), and used oreo type lemon flavored…

Just wanted to post quick before going to bed. This weekend was great. Super productive day Saturday. Put almost all of the outside decorations up. There are still 3 that need to be put up but I'm hoping to get that done tomorrow. Not sure I can do it by myself though, but I'm gonna try. I am SORE today though AND AF…

Thanks @jadepearl !! If I remember to take photos of the food, I will :) I'm making a turkey on Thursday just for us. DH wants carrot cake. Bleh. I mean it's ok, but not my fav. I'm NOT making one from scratch so told him I'd get him a box cake one and make him some carrot cake donuts w/ it lol. He also wants a lemon…

I'll have to try making my own dressing one day, but I absolutely love my MiL's. I dunno what she does to it, but it's delicious! I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week. NEXT WEEK! Where the heck did this month go?? To get the bad news out of the way... I hurt my left side mid back somehow. How exactly? NO CLUE! I…

OH! I forgot all about my messed up tooth! So I have my little bag of floss things by my chair so I'll usually floss right after eating dinner. I usually do it a bit extra around my fake implanted tooth b/c food can get trapped between it and the gums. So I'm flossing away and start wiggling the floss out and out pops my…

So I saw a 176.6 weight this morning after a good poop lol. I'm still not putting it in to MFP just yet, but I SEENT IT! That puts me at just 11lbs over my lowest. Slowly inching my way back there and then time to kick my own a-- so I don't gain weight back again so I can get to my ultimate goal! WOO! I don't want to dwell…

You're doing so great! So glad you were able to see your family finally! And great job getting back on track after all the get-together food!

Thank ya Thank ya! :) Things are going well here. I saw 177.4 this morning. Saw 178.4 yesterday but I did end up peeing A LOT during the day/night so I think that is where the sudden pound lost came from. I'll wait until next week to update my weight on MFP so FX it's still that low or even lower. Calorie counting has been…

Oh gosh. Your poor mom!! I hope she heals up as quick and well as possible. /BIG HUGS Oh I hear ya on the Halloween candy. I definitely indulged in lots of chocolate. LOTS! lol

Weighed first thing this morning and 180.4. Yay! Finally getting out of the 181 where I've been stuck. Decided to weigh right before eating (and after pooping).. and saw 179.6. YAY! I haven't put that in to MFP officially, but will if I see it again later this week. Good grief though. FINALLY seeing some progress!!

I hope your vertigo got better. Vertigo suuuuuuuuucks so much *HUGS* And hope you've gotten some good sleep in too. I had some restless nights this week too.

Lol my 2 were comparing what they ate for breakfast and lunch at school and if they got to have recess. SIGH. I wish things were that simple for all of us. They've been doing good though so far! Unfortunately, spotted ringworm on my daughter last night on her leg. Weird spot and no idea where she could've gotten it. Either…

I think that's what a lot of people have to learn when losing weight. You can't go back to old habits b/c those old habits is what forced you to diet in the first place. I know that's why I'm back up to the weight I'm at. Just too many 'old habit' days. Sounds like that switch has finally been clicked for you though and…

I love sandwiches too and yours looks dang tasty!! Nothing wrong with eating the same things all the time so long as you're enjoying it :) And great job keeping up with your exercising!! WOO being able to see your loved ones again too. FX everything stays opened up

I have mommy friends from other states that have had their kids in face to face school and it seems to be going well for them so far so I'm hoping it's the same here too. I'm the type to get to school early for drop off and pick up anyway so I'm hoping I'll be one of the first in line b/c just... UGH it's gonna be so…

Things have been MEH here this week. Been waking up with headaches or just feeling dizzy. Like right now, just feeling light-headed and weird. I don't think it's b/c of the diet though. I'm eating plenty. This morning, I did wake up to my right ear aching. That's not totally out of the ordinary since it will start aching…

I think the stress is causing a lot of people weight issues. I know stress is causing my own problems. Just keep staying as strong as you can and keep going. Give yourself some slack. Try to destress as much as you can and stay strong!

That's awesome!!!! I hope you get back to OMADing better than I have lol. I've failed miserably at it and honestly just don't know if I'll ever do it again on purpose. Things have been good here. Low carb CICO has been going well for me and I think my appetite is finally adjusting to it. At least I hope so. Mentally, I…
