I started with over 200 pounds to lose and cannot agree more with everyone who says to start with small steps and small goals. Focus on 10-20 pounds at a time, start with logging honestly, then move on to staying in a reasonable calorie goal because once you can do those things everything else will start to fall into…

Round 102 (my 34th) OSW 382.0 RSW 266.0 01/18 264.2 There’s the water bounce dropping, plus a little more. Tom still hasn’t arrived, but at least I’m not holding onto water like the last few times it decided to be late. My goal is to see some new lows this round. 01/19 262.6 When I said yesterday that I wanted to see some…

@bmeadows380 You're not alone in the pre tom hungry, I also get them near ovulation. I don't know your way of eating, but I try to add a little more protein and/or healthy fats. I've found that for me a serving of 4% cottage cheese or applewood smooked Gouda and some grapes really help some of the times, others not so much…

Walking, I've added so much walking and my dogs love it. I also have a recumbent exercise bike and some days I love it and some days I'd rather take a walk. Last I added dumbells and a kettlebell, but had to give those up during a recent ms flare because I kept dropping things and I didn't want to risk dropping them on…

You hit on something that I realized this holiday, logging will be a must for me, as will be sticking to my eating schedule. My calories and food choices were all over the place and I felt like I was always eating over the holidays. On a normal day I eat 3 meals a day with an occasional mid afternoon cheese or yogurt and…

Yes x 3!

Round 101 (my 33rd) OSW 382.0 RSW 266.6 01/08 266.8 I’ll admit I let the scale get me a little down this morning. However, as I was putting together the document that I use for this challenge I realized that I’m doing great. I’m only up about a pound and half from my pre break round low. I was certain that my eating habits…

Yes x 3, though barely. I've got a new schedule and it's being a struggle to figure out when to eat so that I'm not over hungry and binging at any given point.

Getting back on track can be rough. One thing that helped me this last break was to gradually lower the calories back to where I wanted. It's the smaller baby steps approach instead of dropping 1k in calories all at once. Week one the goal was to lose a half to a full pound plus get back to weighing and tracking properly,…

Yes x 3! My nsv in the last month was getting an honorable mention in a step challenge the week my husband was off work. The weather was really nice so we took a lot of walks.

Yes x 3!

So as I put in the doom thread, yesterday the cookies won. Or rather I thought they had when I posted, but I logged them and worked the rest of my day around them. I had them in the morning so I eneded up counting them as breakfast since I wasn't hungry until lunch time. I wouldn't do this all the time, but I am happy that…

Yes x 3, but barely.

@NovusDies I hope your leg feels better soon. I'm doing pretty good so far, I'm still up about a pound and a half from my pre break low. However, I figured that I had put on at least that much in honest weight gain. For this break I did the don't weigh, don't log, approach to a break and while in some ways I liked it…
