Thanks, I am surprised by it but I'm not questioning anything, lol

I am now down to 188.2, that is 15.8 pounds since the start of the challenge 6 weeks ago, 26.2 down since my surgery last year March, and 67.8 down from my start in Sept 2019. I posted my spreadsheet on the share your numbers page. I am happy but also feeling bummed. I see the spreadsheet and see all I accomplished yet see…

Female Start age 49 Start date 9/8/2019 Start weight 256.0 Current age 50 Current date 3/4/2021 Current weight 188.2 Total loss 67.8 Here is my full story in spreadsheet form if you're interested.

Does anyone else watch YouTube eaters? I love watching Beard Meats Food. I just started watching Eric the Electric. I don't know why I enjoy it. It doesn't make me hungry and it doesn't make me grossed out either. So weird.

We like the impossible whopper so we recreated it at home, he cooked impossible patties in the frying pan with a little oil, bought whole wheat buns, with a slice of american cheese and ketchup it was about 550 calories, way less than Burger King, much faster than going there and back, and really tasted awesome. I mention…

I was scheduled for the breast reduction/lift for early April but cancelled it since I am not vaccinated yet. I may now wait for the entire thing and do it at once, the 'mommy makeover' mentioned though that name is gross. I know with the breasts they will do that anytime since it isn't as stressful on the body and…

I wasn't a snacker but during covid at home I got into the habit of snacking in the afternoon, chips and salsa was a big one. Plus I now live with my boyfriend and he eats a large dinner and is the primary cook so I was eating way too much. He is a huge nighttime snacker and recently cut it out, frankly it was just will…

Female Start age 49 Start date 9/8/2019 Start weight 256.0 Current age 50 Current date 2/25/2021 Current weight 190.2 Total loss 65.8 I have a few other trigger dates. I had surgery last March and didn't weigh in a lot, when I did I found I lost weight without really doing much work (wasn't that well and at home didn't…

Exactly, my abs are not great but they aren't totally shot, it's the loose skin on top that keeps hanging more and more as I lose. I'd love to (for now) find something industrial to suck it in so I am not wearing pants that sag in the butt and hips/thighs.

Great loss, and staying off the scale isn't a bad thing, you showed yourself you can do it and not be slave to the emotions of the scale! I mentioned in another thread my boyfriend and I are doing a joint challenge. We started Jan 21 and end the Friday before memorial day, 18 weeks. I set a 25 pound goal. So that's step 1.…

I hated his toaster oven, the BF hated my 2 slice toaster. We got a new toaster that also is a regular and convection oven and an air fryer and it dehydrates too. He loves kale chips, not my thing. But pre-made they cost $5 for just 2 ounces in a bag. Insane. We bought a 1 pound bag of cut and washed kale for $3 and he…

Last night was homemade Chinese/thai, stir fry of chicken and broccoli in a peanut sauce over rice. Tonight is an impossible "burger" on whole wheat buns with homemade oven fries.

Thanks for the help, I'll pass on the corset. I'm huge busted and I need a reduction, not something that will make them look bigger. I am going to check out Shapers. I need something industrial! I just put on the size 14 suit pants and jeans and yep, it fits in thr hips and thigh but the huge lower belly hanging down makes…

I have been around this page for over 18 months though I fade in and out I'm making an effort to be more engaged here. I read your post and only can say you've done this before successfully so you know you can do it. Keep remembering that!

My boyfriend cooks most meals but I turned him onto a good 10 minute dinner. Boil rice (or buy the microwave cups and dinner is now 2 minutes). In the Indian section of the grocery store there are microwave packets of all kinds of Indian food. My favorite is the Chana masala. Nuke it for a minute, serve on the rice. I buy…

Thank you!!!! I cannot believe I'll be in the 180s soon. I feel like when that happens I can really be happy the 200s are truly behind me. How are you?

Hi again....again.,......I fell off the radar again. I sold my house this summer and moved in with my boyfriend so that was a lot going on. LONG POST - but fyi I do read the threads when I can and do enjoy them a lot. I will try harder to be more active here. I do appreciate this site and this page more than I realized and…

No spreadsheet since I'm on the app on my phone but I'm 199.6 today! Down a pound 56.4 pounds not over 200 pounds. Feels nice. Thought it would be more earth moving though, maybe since I was eyeing it over the past week I lost sensitivity a bit. I am excited to have 180 in my sites for the next big goal!

Hopefully this works. I posted elsewhere but I had hip replacement surgery early March so I have a lot of no weigh-in weeks since I could walk and was not focused on weight loss. I've gone from a size 22W to a size 16, buying dresses at Target in size XL and got on the back of the boyfriend's motorcycle!!!

Ha, yes lots have happened for sure. I stopped by my house last Thursday and was 200.6. Great number as it's 55.4 pounds down and so close to 1##. Still not tracking again yet. I have to have food in the morning with my blood thinner so I usually have toast with butter and some grapes or pineapple. The boyfriend doesn't do…

Thanks for sharing! So motivational.

Lost my long post, to summarize....sorry I went MIA. Started a new job and eyeball deep in a new relationship. Haven't been online at all. Checked in on the scale time to time, just posted today though. Up 1 pound this past month. That's good news. Didn't revert to my ood weight. Hoping things calm down and get more…

Thanks! I had a crazy early flight and weighed in but didn't get online to post it.

@papayahed I always fly with a bag of Combos. I never touch that garbage outside of flying. I had flights this past week and went ahead and ate them and enjoyed them. I wound up full and didn't eat much other than that though. @tiffany80802017 I feel the pain. It's like you're playing dress up. And the bigger we are as…

I had two flights this past week. My flight out was very open, no rows had middle seats occupied. My flight back was fully booked. I was in size 18 jeans and fit in the seat without a huge amount of discomfort and feeling the person next to me (eg me spilling over onto their seat). Also I realized one of my interview for…

Accountability. I post my progress publicly here and want to show consistentcy and that I'm walking my talk. Comraderie. I was offline the past 7+ days and I missed seeing the posts of issues, struggles, and successes. Safety. I do not minimize those with less weight to lose, they have their own struggles. But I cannot…

Hi all, I have been offline for over a week and I missed so much success. Congrats to everyone!!!! I had a 2 week goal of 3 pounds knowing a lot was going on, didn't want a 1 week goal. But I still weighed in and last week was up .2 but today was down that .2 and an additional 4 so I'm at 35 pounds gone exactly since Sept…

I was offline for a week. Felt weird. I weighed in last Sunday very very early (like 4am) and was up .2 of a pound. Was a little surprised but okay. Then was traveling and eating and totally offline. Weighed in early afternoon today and was down to 221. My goal from my 12/8 weigh in to today was 222 (would be 3 pounds over…

Sorry I was offline for the week. I know it's too late but in case it isn't here is my spreadsheet.

Thanks! Appreciate the support so much. I actually literally feel gross in a physical way.....bloated and nasty. I forgot to get on the scale this morning, I was rushing around and totally forgot. I set a goal for this week and next week combined to be 3 pounds and I'm curious if I've gone up from eating within CICO but…
