I’m going to make sure that the Turkey and green beans take up the most space on my plate followed by sweet potatoes and small amounts of everything else. I will likely be too busy cooking to eat the appetizers I put out. I go off my diet every weekend so really I’ll probably just treat it like a Saturday where I relax the…

Oh, I’m so sorry. Losing a pet is awful. 💔

Happy humpday, everyone! How’s your week going? Sticking to your plan? I’ve been a day off all week. I actually thought it was Thursday today when I woke up. 😡 I was in Washington state last weekend with my husband and ate all the good foods. I tried to make sure I figured out my protein first at every meal, though, and…

Hey all! I joined F2F for the October challenge. I’m 48 years old and live in Colorado with my husband, a kid in college and a senior in high school. I have a desk job. My weight has gone up, up, up for the last 5 - 10 years until it hit 196. It’s gotten so hard to lose it. I typically would try cutting down to 1200…

Some things you could try… Calories are not all the same. Make sure you’re getting enough protein and fiber in those calories. Try eating non-inflammatory foods to keep hormones in balance. Add in strength workouts for body fat burn. I got frustrated after a couple of weeks and bought a smart scale. They aren’t that…

When I got frustrated, I bought a new scale. 😭 I got one of the smart scales that tells you your lbs of muscle, BMR, etc… They aren’t terribly expensive, and I found it extremely helpful. I now track macros and make sure I stay in the calorie range of my BMR with 3 days of weightlifting.

This challenge is showing me that I generally give up on diets too early (typically by the 2nd-3rd week) and have usually focused too much on…

I’m just -off- this week. I haven’t been out for as many walks. My schedule has been wonky this week. My macros have been all over the place. I typically don’t drink during the week, and I had a drink Monday & Tuesday. I ate after 8pm (all carbs of course). My caloric intake has been a good 200-500 higher than my BMR. I…

Nice! My food goal is 100+ grams of protein and 25grams of fiber a day. I get protein in my half and half, cereal milk, Greek yogurt, and hard boiled eggs. I grill chicken breasts on Sunday and chop them up for lunches and snacks during the week along with canned garbanzo beans and black beans. Nuts are also great. I try…

I’m so sorry, Daria. Cancer is the worst. I can’t imagine losing a child.

Me too - except it’s lasted longer than the winter. 😭 (For me, it was perimenopause, and it’s been 2-3 years!) Good luck! Hope you get your mojo back soon.

I wish I had started tracking nutrients sooner rather than focusing on calories so much.

Making sure I get enough protein and fiber has tended to curb some of my cravings for sweets. It’s hard - once I start with the candy bowls in the office, I have a hard time stopping. There’s probably quite a bit of upper body weight training that you could do in a chair. That would give you a bit of a fat burn. You can do…

Congrats, Sun!

Thanks, Daria. I gave up and just ordered the smart scale. It arrives tomorrow. If I’m not going to lose weight fast, then hopefully tracking some of the other changes going on will help keep me motivated.

I would try to stick with foods that you know you’ll be able to count later. Try to do mostly protein & fat, stay away from anything that looks like a carb/starch. For dessert, have a cup of coffee or tea. If it ends up being hopeless, I count it as a cheat meal, a chance to reset the metabolism, and start again the next…

Weigh-in day: Friday PW 192.0 CW 191.2 GW (Oct) 185 Plan: Strength training, daily walk, Macro counting. Age: 48 Well - definitely not as much as I’d hoped. I weigh every morning and was a pound lighter on Wednesday. Last night we got done with our weight lifting class at 7pm, so dinner was late. I normally don’t eat after…
