I feel your pain and am also hoping to get the girls to a smaller size. I am currently a 38H it is so painful.

Yesterdays food did not go well. I went over my calories by about 300. Not too bad I guess if you consider the day before I barely hit 800 calories. So overall probably evened off. But I feel blahh after yesterday. I was tired and having a bad day. Getting back on track. Not beating myself up or anything just writing it…

@JennDoingTheThing - Mine gave me 1500 with moderate activity. I sit at a desk most of my day also. I usually go between 1200 and 1500 calories. Give yourself a range of 1200 - 1400 some days you will be closer to the 1200 and some days the 1400.

Starting weight 01Jan2020 = 262 Total January loss:12 Lbs Starting weight 01Feb2020 = 250 Feb. 3: 248 Feb. 11: Feb. 18: Feb. 25: Workouts have been crazy. In two days I got in 4 workouts. Sunday I worked out in the morning then later in the afternoon - had a lot of pent up energy. Monday I worked out then went to…

@VeggieMeg71 I am so flipping happy!!!

Hmm just found interesting research on Metabolic confusion. I am going to try it out combined with HIIT workouts. I am another 2 pounds down so at 248 from 262 starting here and 270 mid December. What I am doing is working so if this idea doesn't work I will simply come back to counting calories and working on on my total…

To @ladycopnh1 question; I am recording my calories and using my total gym for workouts, plus weights resistance and volleyball. Sticking between 1200 - 1500 calories a day. This allows me to eat good food but keep to may count. Health wise I try to maintain veggies and good proteins but sometimes I enjoy a little ice…

Hey there. How is it going? Looks like you took a little hit there. How are you feeling?

@canofworms - welcome to the group. you can usually find plenty of encouragement here. Do you work out? What is your eating plan? I use this site and track my calories. That seems to be working for me.

ahhhh! woke up feeling like crud this morning. Yesterday was pretty good. Crazy day at work but then I spent about 25 minutes on my total gym then went and played volleyball for about 45 minutes. But today my body is telling me something isn't quite right. We shall see how I feel after work. Intent is to work out but it…

@CathyRocky - you are on a positive path. We should all take a lesson from you on that. I use non-scale victories all the time, and boy that is a great NSV for you. Great job on your numbers - like you said the rest will follow. A friend told me that as he lost weight he had to keep re-evaluating his numbers so keep that…

Progress check in: After no loss last week I got it back this week. I am assuming last week was a cycle thing. Which would usually send me for large amounts of chocolate but last week I did not give in. (Sunday is another story though). I think I need to be careful about trying to sit to strictly to 1200 calories. One site…

If you can maybe take a very small portion of some of the things you love. If there are things you knpw will be too much stay away from them. Hopefullt a simple "wow that all looks so good, there is no way I can eat it all" When out to dinner I now split my plate in half. You can even ask for a box "to go" and move it. I…

I had a great non-scale victory (NSV) this morning; I wear a red shirt every Friday. I have this one shirt that I love but before I put it on I have to stretch it a little - and all day long I am pulling it away from my body because it is tight. This morning I put it on without stretching it and... it fits great!! Not…

My HR frowns on that too!! ;)

I am counting calories. It has always worked for me... when I do it.

@FatimaStartsAllOver - thank you for being such a positive voice. I really enjoy reading your posts.

Sooo, food wise this weekend was not great for me. My niece and I hit up applebees and while I only ate half of my dinner we also split a desert. This would be fine when I am trying to maintain weight but when trying to lose... well it doesn't work. Not beating myself up or anything just trying to be accountable. My Chiefs…

@Ask4arn1 - I did a group page but this works much better, The group pages everything is kind of broken up.

You are right I am a Chiefs fan!! I am so happy right now - but also stressed. :) Thank you!! Yeah I had a bowl of carrots next to me yesterday and will do the same thing for the Superbowl.

I took a rest day yesterday. And thank you it seems to have helped my foot. I spent some time with friends - went a little over my calories but I have been a bit low lately so I am okay with it. My non-scale victory - I took a pretty small portion of spaghetti and sauce and decided I would get more if I was still hungry...…

@theleadmare - you cannot run out of cat food! LOL I have two and they would never let me live that down. @FatimaStartsAllOver - nice job! you are rocking it.

So a little bit of bad news for me... I over did my workout Tuesday and now my left foot and right knee are both hurting very bad. I was able to get through about 15 minutes of my workout yesterday before I had to stop. That is when I realized I was out of motrin. Not a good night. Today will either be a rest day or upper…

This could be water weight or even bloating. Stress can do it to you also. Please give yourself a break. Make sure you are drinking enough water. Weight yourself at the same time everyday. But even with all of that you can have ups and downs. You can do this!!

Welcome to the group - I don't think anyone gets kicked out for losing. ;) great job so far. Keep rocking it!

You've got this. You have still lost and you will continue to lose weight. Just stick with it. I find eating a good amount of high fiber foods they day before I weight myself works. It cleans out any junk hanging around and I feel less bloated. It has worked so far... fingers crossed - thankfully I love carrots so I eat…

Talk to your DR but Vitamin D helps me when I feel very tired. Turns out I was low and I get low in the winter months when there is no sun.

I had a small non-scale victory yesterday. Watching my favorite team losing 24-0 in the first quarter would have sent me to the snack food. But yesterday I peeled and cut a bag of carrots and chomped on them throughout the game. My team came back and won the game and I was able to feel great about that and not feel sick…

I do the same thing. The winter is even worse for me. At least when the weather is nice I can force myself outside.

Wow. I am having a glass of wine - haven't had a glass in months. Half way in I am buzzed. I had way to much room in my calorie count today so I opted for a small treat. Anyone else have a treat of the drink variety?
