FH and I are recommitting and getting down to business this week...and we want to continue this new month. Height: 5'7 SW: 310 CW: 304.8 GW1: 200 There is less than a year until our wedding. We just got engaged at the end of September and are planning a mid-October wedding in 2020. November Goals: Stick with our current…

Currently I'm just working on getting back onto the treadmill. Doing between 30-45 minutes on it. I need to air up the exercise ball so I can work on strengthening my core, to help my back pain. Then I'm also using resistance bands to help tone a bit.

I've said it in another post but my FH and I LOVE Home Chef meal kits that you can buy at Kroger. I even got my mom liking them. (She really likes the oven ready ones since it's even less prep work and doesn't have to use the stove...my dad has Alzheimer Disease and she needs to keep the knobs to the stove off.) Last night…

I do suggest trying them. The oven ready ones are really nice with minimum prep. Usually just wash the produce and basically put everything in the provided baking tin and bake it. That's great for a fresh, pretty healthy meal during the week that only takes about 30 minutes.

I have quite a few Kroger locations by me with different layouts, but they're usually in a display in the front of the store (like when you walk in) or by the produce and deli area. last night's choice was a little too salty for my taste, since I cut out a lot of sodium when I found out I had high blood pressure back in…

Thanks! I can't wait to secure my reception venue! We're going next month (to let us bask in the newly engaged moment) to the venue to show it to our parents. It's a brewery that has farm to table food. The only sad thing is his mother passed away four years ago and my father has Dementia which is getting worse. We're not…

First, let me say that yesterday I had a road bump in my journey. I ran to the store to get a couple food kits for dinner (One for my mom and I and the other for my fiance and my mom was going to keep the other half for lunch or dinner today). My mom asked me to get some chips for my dad, and I totally caved while getting…

I'm having mine right now. This month has been good with cravings...last month however was a different story. FH has said that because of his weakness with junk food, if he finds any in our home, he's going to throw it out...Since we've moved in with each other last year, I haven't been buying treats like I used to. I'm…

Hi @Penguinswaddlenotme, Welcome to LL and CONGRATULATIONS on the engagement/upcoming wedding. You are going to be so happy you have given yourself time to get into a good routine before the wedding planning craziness kicks in (unless it already has). One step at a time. One day at a time. One small change at a time. We…

Okay, so I just wanted to share one of my favorite things I get at my local grocery store, Kroger. Portion control is something I have a hard time with. So years ago when it first started getting popular I tried Hello Fresh with my mom. It was good but got expensive, as my father wouldn't eat the food, so we still spent a…

Hi, I'm Jen, 34. I have over 100lbs to lose to get to the healthy weight suggested. I'm currently 306. I just got engaged a few weeks ago and I'm still in that afterglow. Four months ago I had a big bump in the road while making good strides and I messed up my knee (torn Meniscus) and I had surgery in August. This week, my…

"I am the architect of my life; I build its foundation and choose its contents." I found it in a nutritional journal I was using and it really spoke to me.

I had a meniscus clean up surgery two months ago. Was off work for two weeks and gained the 15 lbs I had lost prior to surgery and then some. Trying to get myself motivated to working out again and properly planning my meals ahead of time, because that really helped me. Two weeks ago, I went on vacation and during an 8…
