WEEK 4 LOSS OR GAIN: 2.6 pounds lost Accumulated Loss or Gain: 3.2 pounds lost Day 29-01/29: 182.0 – to be expected after a more-indulgent-than-usual weekend with football food yesterday…I made 2 ingredient pretzel bites (just self-rising flour and nonfat greek yogurt, and dipped in a melty Laughing Cow cheddar triangle -…

WEEK 3 LOSS OR GAIN : 0.8 gain Accumulated Loss or Gain: 0.6 loss Day 22-01/22: 183.4 – a smaller than expected bump up from the weekend, and I have that “skinny & fit” feeling this morning, so I have a good feeling about getting a good loss this week and finally getting past that holiday hump! Did a 30 min BG…

I was just thinking this morning how nice it is to be able to do some of the yoga stretches I couldn't do a year ago - pigeon pose used to be impossible for me but now it doesn't bother my knees and I can lay all the way forward. It's great to have NS goals to remind you that progress is still being made even when the…

Hi I'm Jenny from the Bronx, NY - 59 years old, 5' 6", and have struggled my whole life with food. I was already at my top weight and then gained another 20 pounds during the pandemic that I am proud to say that I finally dropped during the last challenge! My initial goal is 175 – a weight where I feel healthy and fit in…

I understand wanting to get away from feeling like you're thinking about food 24/7, especially when you're so stressed. One thing that has helped me to stay on track without logging is to have some go-to meals I know the calorie count for and just stick with those. I do meal prep on the weekend and portion out my…

Day 08-01/08: 185.4 – Just did a BG 30 min tabata cardio / standing abs workout plus 20 min yoga stretch , and I’m definitely feeling the difference being able to go deeper into stretches as my belly slowly gets out of my way. ;) I did some yummy food prep yesterday – made rainbow salad for DH’s lunches, then a cauliflower…

Hey, thanks for your thoughts! Sorry I think that link is misleading - that's sort of the overall concept but I don't do their meal plans, I only bought "The Fast 800" book and decided to try the concept without doing keto. I do eat almost entirely whole foods, I don't do shakes - and yes when I say "low carb" I do mean…

@dawnbgethealthy - you were asking what the plan is that's working for me - there's a few factors that I think are combining to make the magic sauce for me, and I'll say right off the bat they're not for everyone (so please no one start yelling at me!) but the combo plate has been life-changing for me so I'll share the…

I was thrown off too, I liked the Friday end of week weigh-in from the last challenge because that's usually my lowest weight for the week! And I don't weigh on weekends because my schedule is off...so think I'll just keep my own weekly weigh-in on Fridays. And I think I prefer the end format from the last challenge, just…

So my husband and I have a "grateful jar" that we add notes to through the year of things we're grateful for - and we pull them out and read them every New Year's Eve. This year there was I had written that one my husband pulled out to read which I had totally forgotten about that I wanted to share: Jan. 7, 2023 I am…

OMG how scary!!! So glad he just ran off!! I bet the next day was hard bc your body was jacked from the cortisol and lack of sleep!! Hope there hasn't been a repeat occurrence.

I had surgery for a torn meniscus that I had to baby for a year until it was fully healed, and by that time I had really started to put on weight during the pandemic - so I just really struggled for a long time with any kind of exercise. Physical therapy only made me relapse! I slowly began doing moderate, non-impact…
