Got it!

It has helped me to start tracking again this week!

Weigh in was a maintain and I was hoping for a loss but I did eat late night snacks so I think there was a little loss. I was able to control portions for the most part pretty well! Overeating does seem to be decreasing with much less refined grains and added sugars! I took two walks this week too so it is nice to be…

I want to form a habit of a short or longer walk 6 mornings a week

I have given it up mostly for two weeks but replaced it with fried food so dont try that! I have gained weight… also I think I am still detoxing.

most recently i have been sober 2.5 years a lapse of drinking one to two drinks once a week for a year and another short lapse 5 years before otherwise sober for over 10 years!

grateful to be a recoveing alcoholic over here reading about national cockail day! dont miss those a bit! my go to drinks are seltzer, zevia sodas, tru lemon strawberry lemonade drink mix, tea or coffee with a little cream and in the summer a non alcoholic IPA.

I have been gaining steadily for over a year. I am still healthy enough to walk and bike and move furniture and camp, praise God! I am looking forward to consistently losing from here on out but the grace and will of God. Does anyone know how I can find out if I was approved to return to team slimpossible? Big goals: 185…

shame and guilt

I am finding sticking to whole foods is helping me a lot with this habit. I have cut out fast food and sugar this week and ate real food freely and saw great progress on the scale. I ate alot of ground beef whole grains and other tasty foods. Sometimes I ate more than I needed to and noticed when I did I felt nauseated and…

I have three small kids and like to stay up late watching my shows after they are in bed around 830. I have ended up awake until 11 or 12 on nights I am not exhausted. If I am exhausted I will fall asleep around 9 or 10. I am a light sleeper so when first kid gets up at 6 I am usually up with them and if the cats are…

It has been helpful for me to recognize those moments I take to myself I have three kids and when I am taking time to myself it is good to evaluate the value of it. Scrolling facebook does not have the same value as reading the bible and praying or playing guitar or reading a book or almost anything else.....

In the winter I like tru lemonade packets they are made with stevia and make the water taste like sugary drink for few points.... seltzer waters are good too but pricey.... once its warm out i can drink regular water..... I spend the first half of the day drinking tea with milk

I always like a reminder to breathe. I saw a meme of someone saying something like take a big breath, see all better....

I cut out most sugar and fast food this week and saw some good movement on the scale. I cooked most of my meals and ate well to satiety or fullness all week.

I cut out sugar and fast food and had great success this week! I have kept up with basic self care routine and it has been easier without those binges bogging me down.

I had a successful week cutting out most refined sugar this week! and ate no fast food. I had a few potato chips and more than a few fritos and still saw success! The week before I had way to much chocolate and cookies...... anywho.... self care is pretty good not great but good enough ..... ate lots of red meat, veggies,…

I struggle with or eating the kids pizza and sugar snacks and I eat until I am numb

What do you like to be called? How did you learn about the 5% Challenges? Im late to this challenge and to lose 5% would need to lose over 2lbs a week for the next four and that is not likely to happen, so I willl do my best to lose 3% in four weeks. That is 1.5lbs a week. How many 5% Challenges have you completed? None. I…

ok. I dont know how to pick a team ....

is this a debate on the ethical use of these meds for non health related reasons..... or the un ethical use of advertising in pushing these meds? Because I am not impressed by these drug companies one bit.
