I’m not new, but always up for adding new friends to share support! Not looking for just “likes” but to engage. Add if if you’re up for it!

I've wondered often how much money could be made with IV coffee lol

Hey all! Hope everyone's had a damn good day! I don't get on the community much because it's honestly a pain on the iphone app. Feel free to add me if you'd like to share support! I'm 36 and from the Midwest. Been on a 10 month absence and getting back into being healthy. Anyways.. I'm off to make some sweet potato tacos…

You'll get something soon. Gotta have faith :smile:

Intermittent Fasting worked quite a bit, but really the times I lost weight / gained muscle was in a very controlled manner and I was measuring calories. Like actually weighing food, measuring body composition, tracking everything to the T. It took a lot of focus and I typically felt embarrassed and ridiculed for doing…

I’m definitely loving this! Feel free to add me.

Hey! Good luck on your journey as well! It’ll be hard but worth it!

Probably not right now. Plus it’d go in the garage versus right where I need it when I get snacky. It’s really less about my snacking and more about changing my routine and how I view food in general. It’s a reward for me vs fuel. I get extremely focused and will snack without thinking in order to not lose motivation for…

My purpose is to use my top talents of patience, intense focus, knowledge learning, leadership, and creativity to do what matters most of building, creating, learning, and improving myself to accomplish the goals that matter most to me of being positively memorable, supporting myself, my family, and as many others as I am…

Not a woman, but my wife swore cocoa butter helped not have any stretch marks from her pregnancies. All I know is she doesn’t have any. She used it daily.

There are so many different options! It’s a hard thing to get all those and do it yourself. Good luck! Focus on you and the rest will follow. I have too much to annoyingly share from my own reading, experience, and insights. If you need any help, please ask!

That is some fantastic advice. Thank you!

How do you track your weight? Weekly? Averaging? Stall outs are extremely common.

It’s been two months. Hopefully you’re keeping on track!

Same! I left for a bit because it felt like everything died off!

Yyeessss!!! I absolutely understand that. I keep my headphones with me all the time. I just have iPhone ones so I just turn it up enough I can’t really hear anything else. Standing in the shower so the noise of the water drowns everything out. I recently started taking longer walks by myself with our new dog. Just to get…

I’m game if you are. Support seems to be the best way to keep it up. I’m basically the same weight as you now trying to push through. Add me, message, whatever.

Definitely agree with that. I can start back there without issue. Besides that, I’m trying to figure out a lasting way to make food food and not a coping mechanism.

Short answer is no. I used to have a bit of a routine, but the house build, moving, actually doing the construction work myself evenings and weekends has torn a big hole in even being able to have a routine. The protein and fiber is a great point. My problem is with less time I think less about food so I grab crap a lot. I…

Thank you all for the care to respond btw. Means a lot! :)

I’m definitely on the same page. 1. I definitely know the stressors and triggers, but aren’t really able to change them. Building a house with a deadline, financial worries, kids, work sucks and I can’t change it because I wouldn’t be able to get the mortgage when the house is done, etc etc. it goes on into my entire life…

I know i could do that, but I also try to have options available for the other family members. They don’t have the food issues and will only eat when hungry. Kind of their natural emotion towards food is not like mine.

I guess that’s what I’m trying to figure out. Stressful situations, boredom, anger, headaches all trigger me to go find a snack. I’m not sure what other immediate type options there are? That’s typically the issue. Spur of the moment type stuff.

Basically all of the above. Work needs to change, but currently can’t, family, kids, building a house, my health is the sacrifice.

Mainly tried controlling the eating. Besides that, meditation, journaling, yoga, lifting, etc to help with stress relief.

Add me if you want! I’ll do what I can to help you finish your goals. There’s no reason you can’t be what you want to be.

Here’s your next goal: let the ice cream become unimportant in your life. I.e. think of something you see every day but don’t care much about or don’t take notice of (it’s could be a random tree or something). When ice cream is as unimportant to you as that tree, then it no longer has power over you. It’s very much…

I don’t doubt you can do this, Jordan! It’s frustrating as hell when you don’t meet your goals, but it doesn’t mean they’re unreachable. I sent you a friend request. Send me a message whenever you need to, if you need help, questions answered, etc. you’ll get there and you’ll be really happy when you do.
