I am also a psychotherapist. I am not retired however. I also started this with the goal of loosing weight and quitting smoking. That did not last long for me. I needed to do it one step at a time. I started with my weight. Once I was comfortable with my deficit and tracking I added exercise; Once I got comfortable with…

@conniewilkins56 It is super cold here too and it gets dark so early that I can't do anything outside after I get off work. Kinda sucks. I am heading to your neck of the woods in mid December and looking forward to the warmer temps. I plan on packing both my Hoodie and my swimsuit.

I am normally very vocal about separating out the holidays. Every holiday gets their time. So the day after Thanksgiving then Christmas can start. My son however convinced me to do some Christmas stuff early this year and so we went all out. I went out and bought a huge tree (9ft is huge for my house) and all the…

As long as you use the same log in you will be fine. Mine all went with the account.

Every journey begins with a first step and all that stuff. Really I just decided to start tracking my food. That's all I did. Looked at how much i was consuming and modify it to be under my calories. I didn't change what I was eating (that's a great way to fail for me) I just ate less of it. I did cut out all soda cause…

I am 16lbs from my big goal of being in a normal BMI. I want to not gain during the holidays. I know that it will take some huge self control.

I LOVE Bob Evans mashed potatoes! We have them once a week. Super easy and not too bad caloriewise.

I started on October 14. Just a random day in October that I decided that I was tired of being fat and i was not going to be that way anymore. I am 13 months from that date and I am only 16 lbs from my goal weight.

Welcome. I live in Arkansas too. I have been on this journey for over a year and I am only 16lbs from my goal weight!

My husband surprised me yesterday night with tickets to go to Florida to visit the Harry Potter Christmas celebration at Universal Studios. We are going to week before Christmas so that we can still have Christmas with the family. So excited but this will throw the weight loss for a loop. I will do maintenance for that…

We decided to reschedule. It’s not about the day it’s about the family. My sister will be out of quarantine the Friday after so we are going to do it on Saturday. We may just have tacos on Thanksgiving Day!
-
I don’t normally go for breakfast but I saw this the other day and decided to go for it. I used a light whole wheat English muffin for 100 calories and the laughing cow cheese had several flavors that were 30 calories so I used the garlic and herb cheese. Omg amazballs!! Super quick and easy and I am full. Thank you…

Well my plans for thanksgiving have been thrown into the trash. My niece has tested positive for COVID this morning. She has no symptoms but still has to quarantine for 14 days. My sister, bil, and nephew are getting tested tomorrow. We were planning on doing thanksgiving together with my parents. Sooooo I dunno what we…

I have come to the realization that the closer I get to my goal the less motivated I am. I am less than 20lbs from where I need to be and I just can’t get my behind in gear. I’m skipping workouts and eating things before checking calories (hello Newks chicken bacon ranch sandwich that came in at 1030 calories!!) I took a…

@conniewilkins56 those dang underwear! It’s the last thing I have to buy. I’m down 6 sizes in pants so my underwear could easily fit another person in them. I just don’t know what size to buy and it’s not a thing you try on!!
-
Do you spread the cheese on an English muffin and then put a fried egg on it then the top muffin?? I am curious about this dish and think I’m going to try it out. I love some eggs

I want plastic surgery to remove all the skin from my first weight loss. The plastic surgeon refused to meet with me until I was at a normal BMI (and I had to be nicotine free for 2 months). So I have worked and tracked for the last year and I am almost there! I plan on wearing a bikini this summer without a coverup and…
-
I had a sleeve 6 years ago. Just don't close it. MFP still works really good at tracking calories. If you are a new to the surgery then you will not be able to get a lot of calories in anyway which will help with the weight loss. I lost 200lb my first year without even trying. However if you don't learn healthy habits for…

One day at at time and all that trite stuff! Good luck on your journey.
-
This is the place to be when you are ready to make that change. It doesn't come easy or fast but nothing that's worth it does! Good luck in your journey.

@conniewilkins56 it took me 2 weeks to level out after my long weekend break. It will happen just breathe and trust the process.

I am a super picky eater. No veggies, and absolutely no salad. I love processed food and fast food and convenience food. I have lost 58lbs as of this morning. I just eat smaller parts of it. I set up my day differently than I used to and my calorie requirement is very low (1200 a day). My diet is NOT for everyone and can…
-
I arrange my days like this as well. 600 for dinner is low. I usually have 700 or more. I eat whatever I want for the most part. My family isn't on this diet so I make the normal food that I eat and just have a little less of it. Last night was grilled chicken sautéed in garlic butter then cut up and cooked in the wok with…

Man that's a hard transition. Night shift is like the living dead! Good luck.

So I will add my two cents since I am a mental health professional that runs all the BH services for 15 clinics. I tend not to give my opinion on mental health issues because it is very dicey most of the time and difficult to diagnosis in this environment. @bmeadows380 I agree that you need some help. I think a combination…

@bmeadows380 While buying clothes could seem like fun super thick insulated ski pants are 200$ a pop. Not looking forward to that at all.

My husband and son are both avid skiers and every year I am forced to go North for the after Christmas ski vacation (I only do this one not the one in February). In order for me to survive this horribly cold trip I have accumulated a mass quantity of snow gear (Boot, Insulated snow pants, Insulated Long Snow Jacket, Wool…

You stopped though. And you know those three pounds aren’t real. Good for you! It’s an awesome accomplishment

I went to the candy isle this morning to get "my kid" one bag of candy. As I was going through the isle I knew I wasn't going to be able to buy him the candy and not eat it so I got out of there! I'll let him go and pick a bag of candy so that it is just for him. I decided no trick or treating and no handing out candy this…

@AndreaTamira I had 2 years of fertility treatment with no luck. The Dr suggested I loose some weight. I lost 50lbs and got pregnant the next month! Not sure how or why it works it just did.
