I have an addiction- the Organic dried mangoes from Costco (black bag) . I literally cannot stop eating them , absolutely no self control. It did not help the scale over the last couple of weeks, could be the reason for the stalling.. I won't be buying another bag anytime soon because while the fiber is great, the carbs…

@mytime6630- yes never a dull moment in my world it seems. Certain peptides can offer healing from injuries. They have been used extensively in the athletic world but they are considered illegal in the WADA (world anti-doping agency) , frankly, because they work ! There are some ortho docs now utilizing these peptides…

@deewip - that's amazing, congrats! 40 lbs is amazing. I am also still on Tirz. But my loss has been a bit slowed up, hovering around the 28 lbs loss. I noticed that in the last few weeks my appetite and cravings are coming back a bit more than I would like and so I am considering going up in dose.. I would like to lose…

@pridesabtch - UGH the pest problem.. I am so sorry your mom and you are dealing with something like that. It does sound like she may need some help keeping up with things at home. Mice urine and poop alone can be pretty bad for people. Thanks for the explanation on the rainbow, I have never seen one myself

I am still here on the but haven't been able to keep up with much of anything. Work has gotten a bit busier than normal. Here are the highlights JFT* I have some peptides on order for the knee so looking forward to that. Any other peptide geeks out here ? * Overate on the calories and carbs today- likely stress, annoyed…

@ddsb1111- lets see if I can answer your questions. I needed to revisit these numbers anyways as things have changed since I started this process back in the March/April timeframe. I use my Withings scale app for tracking weight. I can look at weight loss for the week, the month and quarter. But this is where I mentioned I…

@tishsmith101 -great job.. I am living vicariously through you at the moment because I too want to see that number below 170 so badly!!!

Its been a busy November and I am just not finding time to sit down and log here. I am trying to read through everyone's updates. I had a full day today , had horses to the vet for dental work and then a bunch of stuff here on the farm, and then housework . I am also having some knee pain again. I am not sure what to do…

@Emkaygirl1 - I agree on the diet thing, I can't think about it that way. Otherwise I spiral downward . @Kupla71- I have played the same game with my scale. (and make sure scale is in same spot on floor. If I do , I try to just get it to read the same twice and take that measurement. If not, I take the highest number i get…

@ddsb1111 - regarding the fast versus slow losing comment. Yes I am in a calorie deficit.Yes I work out 4-5 times a week. I stay at 8K steps a day or more if I can. I don't lose consistently 2 lbs a week or even 1 lb a week. Some months I lose 4 lbs other months I lose 1 lb or sometimes, nothing at all. I am not sure what…

@cschmitz110515- thank you. It was wonderful. I grew up where I had access to the ocean in the summers and miss it very much. I would seriously consider moving back to somewhere that I can access more easily but right now its not in the cards. I am definitely not a snow person anymore. I used to ski, snowmobile and enjoyed…

Jut got back from vacation yesterday . We had a wonderful time. and now I am sad as I came home to snow and grey skies. Ugh. The weather in Florida was perfect , 80-85 degrees everyday, and often times a breeze. The ocean was a bit rough and lots of rip tides so we didn't get to swim too much in the ocean. I did…

@Zoomie402 - Are you starting Tirzepitide or Semi? Yes , the perimenopause a killer. Its so maddening. The non budging weight was a huge deciding factor for pulling the trigger on starting med Bs for me. Best decision I have ever made, granted its pricey but I feel so much better. The biggest thing is PROTEIN, FIBER and…

JFT After the entire month of little to know progress with the scale, I am down about 3 lbs since last Friday. My October goal weight might just happen after all. Stay the course I am going to disappear for the next week or so, headed on a mini vacation. I am planning to work pretty hard not to do much damage in the food…
