Thank you everyone!

I don't belong to a gym, but maybe keys/purse/wallet/id?

It varies. 48 - 64 oz is minimum.

Thanks. Since January.

Thank you! Now the *real* commitment will be in maintenance!

Thank you! How am I going to celebrate? Hmmm...going shopping! :-) Still need to get a few more items of clothing items for winter. I might have a glass of wine tonight, too!

I'm taking a tossed salad and a green veg (probably green beans with almonds).

I agree they do if they don't know what you are doing. I did have someone last month that I hadn't seen for awhile, ask if I was healthy.

Love air frying. Right now I mainly do skinless chicken breasts or thighs and salmon. Before I started my weight loss journey I did french fries and mozzarella sticks from from frozen. Also great for baked potatoes, if you aren't in a hurry for one.

I really don't know. I will guess after about 20 or 30 pounds. People at work (in my Division, anyway), knew what I was doing. There was a rep from one of our vendors who knows me and comes in often, who noticed. A few other people in my building who I do not really see that often noticed and commented. So this has been…

Drink water when the urge hits, that may make the wanting candy go away. Try going for a walk or doing some physical activity. This could do one of 2 things, or both...make you forget you want to eat something, or allow you the extra calories to have that piece of candy.

Agree, forgive yourself and move on. Also, if you feel the urge to binge again, pop on here and we'll talk you down. :smile:

I am surprised you are even a candidate for the surgery if you only have 80-90 to lose. I have lost that much without any surgery. So, I agree with trusting your gut.

You might try flavoring it yourself - those bottled ones I'm sure are loaded with additives you don't need. I will occasionally make a pitcher of flavored water using just strawberries, cucumber, lemon, whatever. I have one of those infusion pitchers where you put what you are using to flavor in a cylinder that immerses in…

If your grocery has a salad bar, try that.

Sigh...I am up .2 from last week, to 162.8. A bit of a roller coaster this past week. Sunday I was down to 161.8.

Is this the multi cooker you are referring to? https://drewandcole.com/products/cleverchef-intelligent-digital-multi-cooker/

What is low calorie to you? My breakfast this morning was 267 calories: 1/2 cup egg whites, 4 slices of turkey bacon and a Lite whole grain english muffin.

I don't believe I have ever had cravings. Probably since in the past I have never deprived myself of anything I liked.

Agree with more fiber. I had a health screening this morning at work, and while my total cholesterol was normal, the LDL was borderline high (just 8 points above). The nurse suggested more fiber to clean everything out, fatty fish, less red meat, losing weight among other things. I'm not worried since it was borderline and…

It used to be normal for me, but not anymore. I am on the 1st floor of my office building and floors 2 and 3 are garage parking. I have always parked on the 3rd floor and taken the stairs down, no problem. That's easy! But I would take the elevator up to get to my car because yes, I would get out of breath going up the…

It is not mean if you say no. My co-workers know I am losing weight so it's no biggie for me to decline something I can't eat. I have lots of support there. I'm not married, but if I were I would hope he would be supportive as well.

Love my air fryer! I actually have 2. And it's not just a convection oven.

I think keeping your hands, and even mind, busy would be good. Someone mentioned knitting/crocheting. J=How about those adult coloring books? Or even reading a book. Maybe writing in a journal? Good luck!

I will occasionally have a lite, whole wheat or whole grain english muffin, which is 100 calories. Also, whole wheat fajita size tortillas.

I don't pay any attention to it.

In the morning right before I step in the shower.
