I make better choices in the morning too. It is a real thing for a lot of people. One thing that has really helped me is to have my food planned out for the evening. Sometimes I will chop all the veggies ahead of time for a stir fry. When I am too tired to plan or cook, I will mostly make eggs for dinner. I have been…

A long time ago meetup.com was a thing. It is like a dating website but for friends wanting to do things like hiking or rollerblading etc. I remember it was mostly large groups of people that would meet up.

I swear a little weight loss/gain on my short frame is super noticeable. Your pictures speak a thousand words! What a difference 13 pounds makes us on us shorties!

I dabble in IF. I am trying a round of keto at the moment for some quick weight loss. I notice that when I drink an energy drink, even a sugar free energy drink, like a bang, it does affect my ketones. I read some people that do IF are ok with coffee with cream in the morning during a fasting period. Others disagree. Right…

I am guessing one of these days you will drop 4-5 pounds over night. It happens.

I have noticed I eat less overall when I restrict carbs. Low carb also keeps me from eating out much. I tend to pick healthier carbs in smaller amounts on low carb too.

That totally makes sense. I have been there so hard I would eat nonstop from the time I came home until bedtime 😱 I haven’t done that in a while but there was a while that that became my norm.

WOW! 8 pounds down already! You have to be feeling spectacular! 🧜🏻‍♀️

WOW! You are dropping weight like crazy fast! Already down 5.8 pounds!!! You are rocking this challenge!

@zaknjakesmum You got this! You can still lose 5 by St. Patty’s day. You are literally 1/2 pound from being out of the 200s. Take it day by day. Just think, with two carefully planned days, you could be out of the 200s!

@Louz163 Wow! 4 pounds down already! You are doing awesome!

@chloeguo Way to go!!! Already 3.6 pounds down!!

@acrylicfox I find it interesting what makes dieting hard for people. Are the treats at work difficult to pass by? Is it the social aspect at work that influences your diet? Do you not bring lunch? I use to regularly eat pretty bad at work but now I do better during my work week.

Starting weight: 2/9 148lbs Goal weight: 139lbs Mini goals: 1) Hydration 💦 (Drink a gallon of water a day) 2) Diet 🥑🥦 (Keep calories under 1650 daily) 3) Fitness 👟 (Exercise 3 hours every 6 days) 2/9: (For the early birds) 148lbs 2/15: (Official start date) 145.75lbs 2/21: 2/18 144.25, 2/19 144.25, 2/21 after a major carb…

@Pinknshady if I eat all 1650 daily I would lose very slowly. I try to treat it as my limit so some days I eat less and some days I eat all 1650.

I have only made bread by hand but I have made a lot of it. I am planning on trying this by hand the same way. For those of you that can’t wait to taste your bread, there is a trick. Before baking, grab a handful of dough and shape into the size of a roll. It will bake in slightly less time and you can eat your little roll…

That looks fantastic! Guess I am baking bread this weekend!

I have a history of yo yo dieting really bad but have made some changes that are working well for me. I prefer to increase my calorie limit to 1650 and not increase calories for exercise. The 1650 factors in the average exercise. I do weigh my food so there isn’t a risk of guessing too much or too little.

Awesome job meeting your goals!

@pinknshady Meal prep is where it is at! I meal prep for busy days but tend to like to find recipes and cook on the weekend anyways. So far my week has been really good. I made some really fun meal prep for work this last week. I started this challenge at 148lbs. Last weigh in I was down to 145.75lbs. Now, I am down to…

@Steph_135 If you ever need any veggie ideas, let me know. I love the flavor and variety in soup, stir frys, lasagna, spaghetti, omelettes... basically everything.
