Happy Easter! I am on track for beating my week 11 goal. 7 day trending weight 147.0. What I find interesting about this, is my average calories IN this week are pretty high and higher than other weeks when I've had an overall gain. My calories OUT are pretty consistent week to week. The factor I believe is moving the…

@deepwoodslady I also find prelogging my food in MFP easy and very beneficial. Make all those decisions at the beginning of the day and then I don’t have to think about it or stress about it.

you are very welcome. I quite like their videos. They are not the typical … eat more protein, move more, calorie deficit, blah, blah, blah. They include strategies around HOW to sustainably make little changes over time that work for you (I.e., not against you) for long term results.

Had our extended family Easter dinner last night. Feeling rather bloated this morning, even though I didn't over stuff myself. Wine and dessert both, took my calories high. The good news, I still exercised and went for a walk, so my calories out were also still high. Net zero deficit. I'm sure my weight will come back down…

@deepwoodslady So sorry to hear about your friend. My deepest condolences.

a quick google search has a difference opinion. AI Overview While there's no set time limit, Ozempic is generally considered a long-term or even life-long treatment, especially if used for weight loss or to manage type 2 diabetes. Stopping Ozempic often leads to weight regain, and the drug's effectiveness is linked to…

I tried to look at your food diary, but it is set at private, so I couldn’t see any details. My guess is either: you are not recording your food intake accurately and you are actually eating more than you think you are You are eating too little and your body has slowed down your metabolism as a result. I’ve had 4 children…

I vote - legit It is not just one day that matters. It is consistency over a period of time. so, if on average for a period of time (I use a week), you remain at a caloric deficit, then you can ‘cycle ‘ those calories throughout the week any way you want.

@Lilylady3k Enjoy seeing your granddaughters. They grow so fast. @Crochetluvr Depression is real and challenging. If it is persistent, you may want to speak with your doctor about it. You need to take care of yourself first. Remember the airplane instructions 'put your own oxygen mask on first before helping someone else…

Happy Easter and Happy Passover. I hope everyone is able to enjoy the long weekend and spend some quality time with family and friends. My FitBit was charging yesterday evening, so the calories out might be a little understated. The calories in are higher than my target calories. I'm still on track for meeting my weekly…

@Lilylady3k Your pictures are fantastic! After seeing them, I've asked my husband if he wants to go to Japan. It hadn't previously been on our 'journey list' (our version of a bucket list). Thank you for sharing.
-
My 7 day trend weight is 147.5. If I stay on this trend, then I'll meet my weekly goal weight. Yesterday, used my evening snack strategies, in the end, I enjoyed three Maple Cookies. It upped by calories in for the day, still had a small deficit.

I'm glad your family member is benefiting from Ozempic. However, it is not for everyone. And, once you are on Ozempic, you can never go off of it. If you do go off, the weight comes rushing back on. The original post was not disagreeing with her doctor, they were worried about not being able to sustain low carb and were…

@deepwoodslady Re "I also battle cravings because I haven’t gotten away from sugar or chocolate long enough to stop the cravings." I recently watched this video from Coach Viva regarding cravings. It might help you identify a strategy that works for you. Interestingly, I've used the strategy she describes for years. Often…

@Lilylady3k Love the pictures! thank you for sharing them. There is a reason why Japan has less obesity than the west. They eat a wide variety of foods in small portion sizes. Glad you returned home safely and had a wonderful trip.

I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, so to speak. My 7 day trend weight is 147.9. I'll be pleased if I can maintain the last two days of reduction, but I'm not counting on it. Based on my data, Monday and Tuesday are my 'best' eating days. Yesterday was an active rest day on my exercise program. I took the…

The concept with this program is they build a customized plan for each person and stay with you. It seems pretty good, but expensive and not something I would pay for. I only included the update for the benefit of other people who might be interested.

Have you set up your MFP profile and set your goals? MFP will calculate a calorie target for you. I suggest you start by logging your food. Then after a couple of weeks, you’ll have some data and will be able to identify and select one small thing to change. Implement that change. A few weeks later, make another small…

Starting week 11 with a bang. I was looking at my data over the past 10 weeks and have noticed that my calories IN are lowest on Monday's and Tuesday's and highest on Friday's and Saturday's. So, I know where I need to dial things in and plan to ensure I keep my 1600 average IN over the course of the week.

consider watching this coach viva video on the phases of weight loss.

little update: I did a free unstuck call with them. To my pleasant surprise it was not a big sales pitch. They asked about me. In the end, they gave me 4 really valuable suggestions and sent a follow up email with links to other resources. I’m certain they do these free calls to get new clients. The cost was pretty high…

The fact that you are asking the question says to me "no". Here's another question for you "Who are you cheating?" Personally, I do not believe in good or bad foods or cheat days. This is a lifestyle and my 'diet' is what I am eating, not a particular food program. If you are staying within your calorie targets 80% of the…
-
@Zaxa2021 I'm sorry you got it. I hope you and your family are all feeling better soon. @deepwoodslady Some days there is just no point in going on the scale and that is totally fine. It is the consistency 80% of the time that really matters. Glad you are back home. Fingers crossed for you to pass the eye exam.…

I did not meet my Week 10 goal, but I'm feeling good, overall still a net loss. I'm going to keep the same goal for Week 11. Week 10 start weight 148.9 Week 10 goal weight 147.5 Week 10 actual weight = Week 11 start weight = 148.5 Week 11 goal weight = 147.5 My overall strategy remains the same. The evidence below is…

@patriciafoley1 Congratulations on your weight loss!! It is impressive. It is on the higher side of weekly loss at 2lbs per week. I’m glad you are thinking about how to transition to maintenance.
-
That is awesome! Re your question What would I substitute for a daily win to feel satiated and stress relief? — Honestly, anything that you enjoy that does not involve food. Ann made a bunch of suggestions above. There is a motivation category here in MFP. There are also challenges. I recently joined the 100 day challenge.…
-
I agree with the tough love from @PAV8888. I have another saying "choose your hard" —> Which is harder, eating fewer carbs or staying at 300lbs? I recently watched a YouTube video that said "Changing your 'diet' every few weeks/months is like planting a seed and then every two weeks digging it up and expecting flowers." —>…

I like FitOn. It is a fee app. They have recently introduced a few new trainers, PJ and Debbie, both focus on low impact exercises. Debbie has a chair workout. There are other trainers with chair workouts as well. Debbie - Chair workout Debbie - Chair booty and belly

I took a look at your food diary and there wasn't anything logged in several weeks. My recommendation is to log your food in MFP. That way, we can see it and then be of better assistance.
