  • Amazing job getting so far in your goals! I’m really proud of you and impressed!! Way to go! I love plants, so when I lost my first 5 pounds I got my most desired house plant (a Swiss Cheese Monstera). The happiness I felt to do that was a huge motivator for me. You could look at your Amazon wishlist and see if there is…

  • That’s a great answer, and I am 100% agreeing to it! Every person has something attractive about them, I think. Then, when we do get that connection, things you never noticed about other people are the physically alluring characteristics that you like the most. In my current relationship, I really treasure his hips,…

  • Thank you for the tips on the pinned threads! I am going to read about the workouts they have so I can see where I can start from, I bookmarked them.

  • Last night I woke up and ate a bunch of cookies I was planning on taking to work today. They were the mini cookies and I ate 15 of them! I was doing pretty well with my fasting and not eating at night when I wake up. It’s a hard habit to break, and sometimes we fail. I’m not gonna be upset at myself. I’m just going to…
    in Overeating at night Comment by elizabethpikalek January 2023
  • Thank you! I definitely feel as if this is taking up a lot of my thought and emotional space right now, with planning out food, meals, saying no to all the snacks my coworkers bring in, I know it will be worthwhile and I am learning a lot about myself and the choices I make.

  • Thank you for your thoughtful and helpful reply! I must confess I am a little more motivated due to having a project for my lean six sigma green belt certification class.

  • Hi. I’m starting at 188 and have my goal weight at 160. My real goal is to just go from an obese BMI category to an overweight BMI category right now. Small goals but should be achievable! Everyone in the community keeps saying it’s a marathon not a sprint, so I’ll go with that! It’s harder to lose weight as we get older…
