sorry to hear about your loss Meg. And your back. I lost my fiancée years ago and his birthday is May 2nd. Some years are harder than others. Having a group chat to share pictures and memories sounds nice. Also sounds like you didn’t waste any time getting moving again after you tweeked your back. Good on you!

yes it is.

hello and welcome. ‘sorry to hear about your medical scare. I can’t even imagine how scary that must be. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last year. It has been a wake up call for sure. My Dr. put me on Ozempic and I am slowly losing weight. I’ll find out what my latest a1c is in about a week. I’m pretty sure it is…

congratulations, that’s awesome!

Sw 228 Cw 209.6 Gw 147 A love affair with gummies! I got a craving for gummies and my nutritionist suggested that I try eating what I’m craving (in moderation), so I tried. And I tried. I tried eating just a serving, I tried eating with protein, I tried eating them before my meal…and after. I tried everything. No matter…

@Athijade , good job! Sometimes that’s all we can do.

hello and welcome! I am relatively new here as well. I started at 227 and am now at 210 with a final goal of 147. I’m also shooting for about 1200 calories a day. I’m on a glp1 so also eat high protein and have recently taken up exercising 3-5 days a week. This is a great place to get support for your journey, there are…

thank you @megd44 . That’s great advice, the find the little things, today I’m working on dealing with the constipation. sw 227 Cw 210.1 Gw 147 I’ve had a successful week of weight loss. MFP says I’ve lost 17.1 pounds! My husband says he can see it in my face a little. I’m not sure. What do you guys think? This is my…

what a great problem to have, eh? I’m not a good enough seamstress to take in pants/shorts but that is an idea. I wonder what a seamstress would charge? The pants that are too big are my nice wool ones. Might be worth it. I’ve been enjoying a week without cravings or much food noise. I have no idea how long it will last…

it is my understanding that they mimic a hormone that tells your brain you are full and also works on other receptors throughout the body to have other effects. I feel like I understood it better when I first was considering it and did a bunch of reading on it. As I understand it though, if you were to continue to eat the…

I just had my first fasting blood sugar below 100, it was 98. What is the range for fasting that we want to stay in? I am on a glp1 med for my diabetes. They do not in and of themselves cause weight loss, not for me anyway. It does make me less hungry and I feel full faster after I eat. Intermittently, it has helped with…

hello Tanya and welcome. I am so sorry for your loss. I have lost a life partner and a best friend but not a child. I can’t even imagine how painful that must be. I don’t know what you believe but if you believe she is in Heaven, I’m sure she is proud of you.

thanks @totameafox , I needed to hear that. I just need to be willing and discomfort won’t kill me. I eat out of boredom too. I end up with lots of downtime on my hands and it’s hard to ignore the cravings when I’ve got nothing better to do. Sw 227 Cw 212.6 Gw 147 I am having a good week so far! No cravings and food noise…

@mishisf, welcome and congrats on restarting your streak! Today I’m celebrating that my clothes are feeling looser. Some are even loose enough (a few pair of pants) that I don’t think I can wear them anymore.
-
sw 227 Cw 214.1 Gw 147 Well….. I have not lost as much as I planned but the numbers are still headed in the right direction so I’ll take it. I upped my dose of Ozempic last week to the 1 mg. Dose and was hoping it would help with the food noise and cravings. It has not. I met with my dr. Monday and she wants me to give it…

I can see it in your neck. Way to go! You got this!

oh dear! So glad you found your puppy. Sorry to hear he brought home so many guests, ticks are no fun. We just had one sunny day here and it gave me spring fever. We’ve had tons of rain, can’t even imagine getting snow in March, uggh! ‘yay! For 3 great workouts ! You go girl!

congratulations! I started seeing a nutritionist a month or so ago and have been surprised at her advice. First off, she told me to eat MORE carbs. I was doing low carb, ie. a Greek yogurt for breakfast and she had me add a regular piece of wheat toast to that. I also was struggling with craving sweets in the evenings so…

Sw 227 cw 215.9 gw 147 Well… I didn’t lose as much as I had hoped to by this point but at least I didn’t gain. Given my week, I’m happy with that. My sons who live out of town where here visiting this last week. We had Swedish meatballs, pizza, chips, cookies, etc. it’s been a food-Ganza at my house. Do you know how hard…

10 1/2 pounds, nice! And 2 inches is awesome! Way to go!! 😊

what is with the men?! I know what you mean about the limitless friends requests followed by the inevitable email looking to make a connection. It took me a while to figure out what was going on . Smh, I can be dense sometimes. Now that I “get it”. I’m not inclined to accept friends requests from them anymore. I’m not…

I know, ive been shocked to see and hear what is on the chopping block. I hope by some miracle your org gets spared. You have an important and difficult job for sure! I did some grant writing in school and with my internships, not for the faint of heart. Enjoy your walk!
-
wow, it sounds like you really love your job. That’s awesome! I love hearing about people working together to build community. My education is in social work, that kind of talk livens me right up! glad things are going well (as can be expected given the circumstances) .

whew! sw: 227. Cw 216.5. Gw 147 I have had a rough go the last few days. I can’t believe I managed to still lose weight! The food noise has been terrible and that , coupled with insomnia, brutal. I have managed to keep my commitments to log my food and exercise each day, so I’m putting that in the win column. I also ate a…

whew! What a day you had. Congrats on sticking to your plan as best as the situation allowed. Couldn’t have been easy. Hope you have a great gaming date!

@meachemcrystal795 , ugggh! I hate when I get sick or don’t feel well and I’m trying to focus on something important to me. Remember to give yourself a break and take care of yourself through this. UTI’s are no fun! Especially one that is hard to treat. Hang in there, you got this!

today is a YAY day! Sw: 227 cw: 217 Gw:147 I’ve dropped a few more pounds! I’m now only 2 pounds away from being back to my regular overweight self. Only 2 more what-was-I-thinking pounds to lose. I did something kind of crazy yesterday. I’m a little hesitant to post about it because it feels pretty vulnerable to confess…

I also buy my gear using end of season sales. I’ve gotten some great items that way, and they last and last, and last, which I love. I’m in Oregon and we’re getting a bit of the fake spring here too. My daffodils are rising to the occasion, I just hope we don’t get a big freeze now. We certainly don’t have weather anything…

well, so far this week I have exercised each day. I’ve gone to curves. @77tes , so sorry to hear you lost the curves near you but I’m inspired to hear that the support lives on in the members who had joined! Today my son is down visiting so my morning is a bit thrown off. Not sure if I’m going to make it to curves this…

we are right around the same weight. My morning routine is: get up, pee, weigh, check blood sugar. Then I move to phase 2 which includes taking meds, getting caffeine etc. my weight is bouncing up and down too. we got this! 😊
