@CupcakeCrusoe I'm happy your daughter is doing better. I know having a sick kiddo can be a real stress. @KeriA Good luck on your job interview. So started emotional eating last night after I closed my log. I probably added another 400-500 cals and still in that phase today. Yesterday was my 53rd bday and the first of many…

Quick read back and check in. For those who've joined up during my absence I have a tendency to write books when I do get in lol. @micwrites Worrying about your daughter while dealing with an injury can make it difficult to stay focused on weight loss plans for sure. You are worth it! Depression is a horrible thing on a…

Finally getting a moment to do a proper reading at least from Friday to present and check in. Yesterday was busy getting the WM pickup and Costco shopping. I put on a pot of spaghetti sauce to simmer while I put things away and got veggies prepped for the week. Put the remainder of the week's veggie soup in serving size…

I know a little of the loss will be water weight since it was a fresh start week. I've been working on getting the house in order…

@nebslp Thanks for the idea. I'm going to roll with and go from here. It's just a number and nowhere near as important as the one on my scales. One of those nagging reminders like my pants are tighter with being back over 200lbs again. @speyerj Happy Anniversary! The stress your hubby and all teachers must feel has to be…

Thanks @RavenStCloud for kicking off every month. **Height 5' 4" SW: 216.8 (10/10/2019) CW 6/1: 206.6 June GW: 199 GW: 150 Monthly Goals: Cardio/elliptical 3/week Strength and Yoga 2/week Water 8c/day So I'm back to tracking and counting after taking about six weeks off. Dealing with my momma was about all I could handle…

@KeriA I'm glad you are using home time to do things you enjoy like reading. I think waking up and just having an unplanned day is a good thing. Your food plan is normally on point so even without having a couple of weeks listed out I'm sure y'all will have wonderful meals. @CupcakeCrusoe What a morning you've had. I hope…

Thanks @RavenStCloud for the new thread. I'm so ready for a new month. So many wonderful new and old faces that I'm happy to be on this journey with.

Welcome to all the new posters...feel free to drop a friend request if I missed you. Not an intentional miss just behind on reading. I know we are all having to adjust and deal with many changes to daily life. Even though it may be inconvenient I can understand how taking these measures are important for the health of us…

Goodness seems like March has decided to take a swipe at quite a few of us. Use the weekend to refocus, energize, and strategize. We've acquired more knowledge and tools since the beginning though so let's grab March by the horns and show it whose boss!! Congrats to those who are already kicking it and posting losses!…

Ever since the weekend seems like all I've got accomplished is logging. At least that is the most important thing. I'm in kind of an autopilot slightly depressive state. I think it is due to worry about Momma's biopsy tomorrow. Hubby got bakery choc chip cookies at Costco and I heeded their call yesterday. I had two and…

Welcome to all the new thread members. I'm happy you found us and decided to join in. :smiley: @AlexandraFindsHerself1971 I love that you are gifting your outgrown clothes to a friend who is also losing.

Today has been food prep day. I did both chicken and broccoli salad, roasted sweet potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and grape tomatoes. Then broiled some…

My habits have changed some but I didn't want this to be a journey of "forbidden" foods. I am not willing to give up chocolate without a medical reason. However instead of traditional candy bars or the most delicious salted caramels from Costco I will eat small pieces of Belgian dark chocolate most days. I have cut back on…

@fitchick37 Congrats on this month's loss. I love that since you weren't feeling the run that you switched to a swim. Doing what you enjoy for exercise means you will do it more often. @cory17 Glad you had a lower number. You can keep it down and going lower. Stick to your goals. @GroverBlue78 Happy you were able to find…

Welcome to all the new posters :) @RavenStCloud Glad you were able to check in and let us know you're ok. Take precautions and stay safe. Thank you for taking the time to get us up running in March. It is much appreciated as always. @cory17 I've been doing the same with decluttering and think it does help. There is…

@shorepine Way to go out and sign up for the 5k. I'm sure you will do well. I know holding at the same weight can be frustrating but am glad you are still baby stepping and sticking it out. Every step forward is progress. @cory17 Keep at it and you will be transformed and in those new pants. @Aerohead21 With all you have…

Afternoon everyone. Hope all is going well today. @Terytha Adding in a snack to hold back the Hangry is a great idea. I don't eat a lot of high calorie meals so usually do about three snacks. My favs are yogurt, pb toast, almonds, and popcorn. Try a few different things to find what satisfies you best. @gorgeous2343 Great…

Getting back into the swing of posting and starting with yesterday's stuff. @mmdeveau Congrats on getting into the run. What a wonderful way to top off a successful week of loss and hitting goals. I know you are super excited and will do great. Excellent advice about losing too fast and using other things besides scales as…

Warning: trauma post may trigger but it is my life and answers the question above. @BrownSugar174 In answer to your question "when did I start loving myself" the process started in 2001. Our second son was born in 2000. I had complications with my first son and didn't plan on having more. Life happened and pills didn't…
