chapter 2. So…. I took all the information home with me from the vet and shared it with my husband and the powers that be at the rescue. Turns out they found a behaviorist too, that they wanted us to speak to. My hubby and I decided to talk to the behaviorist before making any decisions except we already know, we can’t…

Sw 228 Cw 192.4 Gw 147 Whew! It’s been a while, thanks everyone for your continued support. I’ve been really, really constipated since the doc changed my meds around and I hate to weigh in when that is the case. I finally am back on my meds as they were except that she has me on a lower dose of the metformin. I’m not…

@Catlady27787 , yeah, I think she is going to put me back on it, which I’m glad about.

hi Meg (and everyone). I’ve not been doing terribly well. I got all excited at my doctors visit about a month ago and we agreed to take me off of one of the diabetes meds I’ve been on and the results have been not great. My A1c has started to creep up and I’ve gained a few pounds. I’m ready to go back on the med! lol! I…

hi @Catlady27787 ! Things are going ok. The foster pup is still a handful but I’ve had an attitude adjustment towards him. He is clearly acting out from anxiety and so I’ve just slowed down my days and am with him 24/7. Things are much better. He hasn’t bit anyone else and the rescue agreed that he can see a specialist…

yay for lost inches!

I went on a short hike with my son who was visiting and thought of you Meg. 😊. It was only a little shy of 2 miles but it felt great! I made a commitment to return to the trail and go a bit farther each time until I see where it leads.

I like that idea, 1/2 hour a day, 6 days a week. When I scaled back, I went to 3x week 1/2 hour work outs. I hit all the main muscle groups and kept my heart rate at goal. (It’s the curves workout so it was a no brainer for me, meaning I didn’t have to think about it, just show up and do it.

Sw: 228 Cw 194.2 Gw 147 Well…. Things are still trending in the right direction. I have to give credit to the Ozempic as I’ve had very little appetite lately. My kids say they can tell I’ve lost weight but no one else who doesn’t already know I’m on this journey has said anything yet. Will it be 40 pounds before someone…

hello @GentleStreamFern ! I’m glad you’re here. The more the merrier. 😊

good morning @Catlady27787 ! ‘things are going ok. Just found out my youngest son’s gf broke up with him so he now needs to find a new apartment. Both sons are going to be here for a visit starting Thursday night. Thankfully they are both super supportive of my weight loss and fitness goals. Just lots going on right now,…

wow! 2025 has been a big year for you so far. Lots of huge stressors, both good and bad. I would have a hard time staying in a calorie deficit eating out all the time, I think you’re doing great!
-
thanks Meg. I think I’ve found a way that is working for me because… Sw 228 Cw 195.5 Gw 147 I lost a couple more pounds this week! When I said I had Doritos for breakfast, I meant that literally. That’s all I had for that meal. Maybe not the healthiest choice, but it’s keeping me in the deficit, so I’ll take it. Our foster…

I’m turning 55 this year and am a former smoker as well. 😊. I’ll just keep on with my baby steps… thanks Meg!

Sw 228 Cw 197.5 Gw 147 well, I’m still not losing very fast but I am losing. We signed up to be fosters for the Bichon rescue and we got a new foster on Monday. It’s been a bit rocky, the poor little guy is very clingy with his owners so has been traumatized by this. He was given away on Facebook marketplace a few months…

you are such an inspiration Meg! 😊

you are such an inspiration Meg. No matter what life throws at you, you stick to your plan (or modify if needed).
-
I’m so sorry for your loss @totameafox. I had a dog who was hit by a car and we lost him, it’s heartbreaking. hugs
-
@Catlady27787 i have tried here and there to lose weight. The last time I was moderately successful was several years ago when I gave weight watchers a go. It wasn’t until my doctors appointment where they put me on the Ozempic for diabetes that I had a real wake up call. I talk a lot about losing the weight and the…

SW 228 CW 199.3 GW 147 Hello @Catlady27787 and welcome! Sorry it’s been so long since my last update. I’ve been stalling posting until I reached my mini goal of being in ONEderland! Took me forever to get over that particular hump. Whew! Now I need to find a new mini goal to focus on….any suggestions? My son and future dil…

I agree with Meg and Sunrise, you nailed it. I too have been struggling and so have been avoiding the scale. I finally hopped back on this morning. I think I’m holding about the same but haven’t lost anything in a while. I too, need to recommit to being here and following my calorie deficit food plan. We can do this!
-
glad you had a nice birthday. I understand the need for a diet vacation. I still tracked but was a lot less strict with my food choices when my kids were here. I also took a few days off from tracking recently but that didn’t work out for me so I went back to it. as someone wise once said, consistency is key. 😉 Also,…
-
congratulations Meg! Only one pound to go, that’s wonderful. I hope you have an amazing vacation. 😊

on Jan 15th my A1C was 8.4. I just had it rechecked yesterday (April 28th)and it’s down to 6.0! If I’m reading the results correctly, for someone with diabetes, that means it is “well controlled”. This week has been blessed with so many wins for me, I feel super lucky. I still have a few pounds to go till Onederland. It…

thank you Meg! 😊

nsv today. I bought an outfit from my favorite company in a size medium to try on and it came today and it fits! I was wearing an xl at the start of this journey. They are jersey stretchy clothes with lots of give but still. I’m so excited!
-
@megd44 , yeah, it might just be that they are unsure, or like you said, they feel awkward. . My son pointed out that I wear flowy billowy clothes too, so there is that. At this point, I’m mostly just curious at what point someone will say something. sustainability is probably the biggest thing I’m doing differently this…

Sw 228 Cw 202.8 Gw 147 It has been a crazy couple of weeks! Struggling with lots of food noise and cravings off and on. I’ve decided to let myself have candy…in moderation. So for the weeks that I’m craving it, I log it and hold myself to just one serving. The weeks that I don’t crave it, I don’t eat it. So I guess I’m not…
