If you’re going for feeling satiated, eat protein and fat. Carbs and soup may not be the best idea unless you can add more protein, fibre and fat. Maybe chili or something similar, like a burrito, Greek yogurt with fruit and or bran buds? Like meaty and cheesy.... something dense. Honestly I’m feeling pretty similar. I’m…

It was a rough weekend, but I'm getting back on track. I just feel like I'm not doing it in the healthiest way. I was busy and mostly forgot to eat on Monday, then Tuesday I saved a bunch of my calories for a drink with my husband before bed. Today I'm starving after 3 days of not eating enough, and I'm worried that I'm…

This weekend was so rough. Every year my family and I celebrate Oktoberfests, and that means sausages and beer and bread, none of which help with meeting my goals. And the first month I was tracking I lost 10lbs and tracked every little thing. I am not always tracking in the evenings now, and I know that's why I haven't…

SW: 241 CW: 228 GW: 200 September Goal: 220 I just briefly touched 226 this weekend, but lost it. I'm back on the wagon today. Trying to stay motivated and engaged. Hopefully the weather will get better so that I can walk more, and I'm hoping to increase my water intake during the day. Middle of this month will be my…

SW: 241 CW: 227.4 GW: 200 I have been doing this since July and managed to lose a grand total of 2.5 pounds in August. This is more than a little disappointing, but I am trying not to get discouraged. It's always been hard for me to lose weight because I'm an emotional eater, and this month has been very emotional. I'm…

Years ago I was about 205 and I lost down to 168 while living a low carb, low sugar life. I was miserable, but I looked great. I gave up that lifestyle and at the start of this attempt to get my weight in check, I clocked in at 241. I still weigh more than my 6'2" husband, which stings. But we're doing the best we can, and…

SW: 241 CW: 231.1 GW: 200 I'm having a little bump up. My mom was under review for potential lung cancer (biopsy came back clear, but a very scary few days) and my son started kindergarten this week. I'm an emotional eater, so I knew the number would climb back. I'm hoping it's just a little bump (of 3 pounds!) and I'll be…

SW: 241 CW: 228.8 GW: 200 I'm not trying to get back to the weight I had in my 20s (175 was the most sustainable "thin" weight of my adult life), but I was about 195 when I met my husband 10 years ago, and I'd love to be close to where I was back then. After 10 years, a baby, and a lot of life changes, it's been hard…
