1. Victory: Finally, the scale budged with a 0.5 lbs loss and I'm 7 lbs to my doctor's goal of my ideal weight. It's a snail crawl but I will take it!!! 2. Challenge: Weight fluctuations due to emotional overeating especially stress. . Bloating due to menstruation, temporary but disheartening. 3. Since such a SLOW pace, I…

Ok I'm home at 2 am. I ate a medium slice of Hawaiian pizza and one brownie bite but still under my calories budget. Unhealthy choices today but within budget. 3x!!! Yes!!!

No clue, I have never been. I hear its those that go to clubs and drinking starting at 11pm to 2pm. I tried once hanging out with my college friends decades ago but never got into it so totally new to the scene.

Beautiful... almost like Joshua Tree in California

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? YES. I budgeted for movie theater popcorn to see the newest rendition of Jane Austen's Emma but shared it with my friends for a 3 way split so now way under. But night is still young with 500 calories to spare so probably eat something within that since I'm heading out to do midnight outreach…

I so relate!!! I'm here because I LOVE food and emotional overeating. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, in other words, You can DO it!

Me too! It's like a fidget spinner! lol Congratulations! Well done!

Awesome and congratulations for being close to retirement! I have 9 years after this one for possible early retirement but 19 if I want full income...

Thank you for sharing and you are an encouragement to me. I can relate to everything you posted as I am 4'11" as well. Doctor's goal weight for me is 100 lbs which sounds ridiculously low but is the middle range of normal in the Asian American bmi chart. I'm struggling to lose the last 10 lbs with fluctuations but within…

You ladies sound so encouraging and have practical wisdom. I was encouraged and learned from your posts. I can relate as I'm in the last 10 lbs to my ideal weight and experiencing the slow pace and fluctuations as well. Thank you for sharing and please friend me too as I need like minded support and look forward…

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? YES. Track? YES. Ranger Rick's? I enjoy... ...snowboarding but spendy and seasonal ...kickboxing but depends on instructor ...fox trot, ballroom dancing, east coast swing, lindy hop, etc but depends on good lead ...volleyball but difficult to round up teams with relatively equal skills ...my…

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? YES. Track? YES. Ranger Rick's? Almost EVERYTHING!!! That's partly why I am here... I like almost everything and love trying new dishes too. I LOVE food!!!

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? YES. No exercise calories used even though in menstrual cycle - this is a huge victory for an emotional overeater like me. Track? YES. Ranger Rick's? I'm a newbie so this 1st month I'm giving myself grace to use exercise calories if needed for a particularly stressful or extreme cravings due…

Thank you @martianspuds... The ones that say those comments to my face are ladies at minimum 10 years up to 30 years older than me and really do mean it as a compliment as in sincerely adorable so I just smile. But in my heart's dream I'd like to be thought of as attractive to men not adorable to old ladies - a girl can…

Joined UAC (Ultimate Accountability Challenge) on mfp and it's really helping me be super mindful because of daily posts and rules plus made more encouraging mfp friends too!

Thank you! This reflection question usually stops me. I wish you success in your weightloss journey my mfp friend 🤗

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? YES. I was thinking about taking my 1st pass because of my hormonal monthly ragging appetite on top of stress eating so caved with a whole cup of roasted almonds (stress ball for my mouth - one at a time through my front teeth). But then, I thought that's pathetic because it's only day 2 for…

Welcome and Congratulations! I love learning from all people so nice to have male perspective. Enjoy your Lent journey and remember Philippians 4:13 You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you!

Exercise? YES, 150 minutes walking and praying with my co facilitator for my bible study participants for celebrate recovery (12 step program - for me, codependency and emotional overeating) Calorie budget? YES, barely with a paltry dinner to make up the generous lunch. Track? YES.

😁not my generation... I'm more of the cabbage patch kid kind, lol. Oh yeah, add that one too - cherub! LOL Why do people think they have the right to call me (44 years old) those names to my face?

Today, I went to a multi church seminar so got to see my old church family whom I haven't seen in 12 years or so. Two said I looked skinny, one said beautiful, and one said I looked younger. Also, I safely avoided the copious amounts of unhealthy snacks during breaks by filling up on hot tea and walking around the facility…

Meee too!!! But hoping probably nix "cute" status to "attractive" for me not "hot" since I will still be 4'11" with doe eyes as I've been told. Several have said I already look like a cue-pie(?) doll or cutie pie or little girl or china doll (I'm not Chinese)...

Thank you for sharing your journey and keeping this thread going, Ranger Rick! You are a seasoned inspiration🏅👏. By the way, my screen name is @EPANGILI - I put it in capital letters because lowercase letters difficult to distinguish so not at all offended but would like my name spelled correctly WHEN I make it to the…

1. Victory: Today, I went to a multi church seminar so got to see my old church family whom I haven't seen in 12 years or so. Two said I looked skinny, one said beautiful, and one said I looked younger. 2. Challenge many unhealthy snacks available for breaks. 3. Safely avoided unhealthy snacks during breaks by filling up…

Oops, I forgot a key word in this sentence... My goal is to finally drop the LAST 10 lbs by the time I take my 1st year chip for emotional overeating at Celebrate Recovery (12 step program) by April 2020.

13. ? What's Ranger Rick's weightloss journey story? If you don't mind sharing, what made you start this brilliant thread?

Thank you for introducing me to UAC!🤗🤛👍

Finally skirt weather here so I tried on my pencil corduroy skirt 2p (I'm 4'11") and it wasn't a perfect fit anymore but loose! Half my skirts are loose! Nice that I'm smaller but sad I lost 3 inches off my best ASSet...

Hi all, I'm Elaine and I'm new to UAC. Thank you Ranger for setting this up! I started my weightloss journey April 2019 due to my syblings (close to my age 44) health scare - one almost lost eyesight due to neglecting diabetes care and the other fatty liver disease. I started as obese on the Asian American bmi chart but…

1. Victory: Someone bought a box of donuts for the office and I grabbed my rolls of lard on my stomach reminding myself I'm so close to goal, walk away!!! I walked away so fast they didn't even get to open it in my sight. 2. Challenge: Staying below my calorie budget. I was so used to having a big appetite since very…
