1. What should we call you? (your name, user name, nickname etc) My name is Pam...but I answer to most anything directed my way :smiley: 2. What are your fitness and/or weight loss goals? I think my biggest goal this year is to make realistic and sustainable goals. About 10 years ago I lost 135 pounds. I never did make it…

Awesome job! I actually just got home from a week long cruise on Sunday and had to dive straight back into work. Just now taking a moment to catch up. I did gain a little on vacation, but I expected it and have zero regrets :) Too much great food and drinks readily available. Even so, I still managed to be down 5 pounds…

@dawnbgethealthy great pics! Thanks for sharing. I am going on vacation starting on Friday afternoon. We will be traveling to Cozumel, Costa Maya and Honduras. Warm weather here I come! If I can figure out how to post pictures I will share some!

So far down 5.4 from the start of the year. I have been super busy at work last week and kept me from posting much...but I still tracked my weight everyday. My food logging was not great though. I didnt do much prep work for the week and ending up just trying to make good choices at work. I am off for the next 4 days…

Love a year long challenge! I need this to stay engaged and accountable. I like the weekly check in and the year long plan to be able to set realistic goals. Goals for 2024: log food daily, weigh in daily as possible, get to the gym at least 2-3 times a week and drink more water instead of diet soda! I am going on vacation…

Wow! Great job! Those big drops in the beginning are always motivating for sure. What helps me is to take measurements and pay attention to how your clothes are fitting. Sometimes your body is changing even though the scale isnt moving. It is hard, but I try not to get too discouraged even the days I see a small increase.…

Always feel free to share here :) Friends and family are great, but only someone going through the same struggles really understand I think. I am sure you will do great!

I actually do use monk fruit sweetener. Agreed it is pretty awesome. I dont have an office exactly...I do have a call room that I have the use of on the days I work. There is a refrigerator, microwave, etc in there but we cant all leave stuff all the time or there wont be enough room. I just have to take what I will use…

That is quite impressive progress you have made thus far! Great job.

Processed food is what I am working on now. Trying to eat cleaner for sure. Added sugar I already don't do. My hectic work schedule has led me down a path of consuming more convenience foods. Its so easy to do. Trying to cook more and have things to be able to pack up and take to work. I know that I tend to be a grazer…

Well, honestly probably all of the above. Definitely hormone changes and metabolism. Not to mention my likely higher than normal cortisol levels. I have thought about having them checked but I probably dont want to know :)

Hi all. I am Pam. Nice to "meet" everyone. I am recommitting to losing weight and getting healthier. I lost quite a bit of weight a few years ago but bad habits have crept back in and I have regained almost 50 pounds of what I had lost. The challenges become harder as I get older it seems :) Is there going to be a thread…

I would think you are likely type 2. Type 1 requires insulin, T2 can be managed with pills, but sometimes also requires insulin. I dont have all the answers..but I have been diabetic since childhood. It is life altering, but definitely is not unmanageable. One of the most important things for you to pay attention to is…

Yes please....feel free to add me

Goodness! Day 3 and I am already slacking! Ran out of the house yesterday morning early, running late for work as usual, and totally forgot to weigh in. I work 24 hour shifts so I weighed myself as soon as I got home. I need to just make it a habit to weigh in as soon as I wake up in the mornings. Day 01-01/01-- 248 Day…
