Also my work did a free "lifestyle screening" for employees and my cholesterol, triglycerides, and fasting glucose all came back within normal limits!! Always good to hear that when you are also battling obesity! No need to add to the pile of problems I have currently:-)

Last night dinner was a seasoned chicken breast, cup of wild rice, cup of spinach with lite ranch dressing, and a glass of milk. Tonight is MEATLOAF made with buffalo meat! Yummy!

3 citations.. lol. I am so proud of myself this week for not binging when I am emotional. I was bawling yesterday over something trivial but when i normally would binge during the day I didnt due to being on this plan. I drove to the park on my lunch break and enjoyed nature. Today I feel the need to binge my lunch break…

Dinner last night was a soft taco, brown rice, and a spinach salad with italian dressing. I forgot to take a picture because my daughter was pretending to be a police officer and kept issuing me citations for talking to loudly at dinner:-)

I love tator tots!

We are food siblings Newmeadow!

Great pic!!

Last night's dinner was Pad Thai. Yum!! Tonight is chicken corn soup.

Tonight's dinner. Seasoned hamburger with moz cheese, tator tots, green beans, spinach salad with greek yogurt dressing.

Dinners from last week.

Good point on the coconut!! My water tastes nasty today. It must be time to change my Brita filter at home!

Dinner thursday was fish, peas, a little brown rice and spinach salad. Superstarch sounds interesting. Friday was my off day this week. Meatloaf and homeade stuffed mushrooms for lunch and pizza for dinner.

Coconut oil in my protein shakes helped immensely with cravings today. Thanks Blambo! My office has pharm reps come in every tuesday and thursday and bring the whole office food. I usually hide from them anyway because I don't want to be caught up in hearing their speeches about brand new medications ( brand names are…

Mushroom pasta looks delish!! I have been heavy lifting 3x a week but I have been doing that for years on and on due to having to physically restrain psych patients from time to time for long periods. Weight lifting has always made me feel more powerful for some reason.... it might be a mental thing. ( Heavy lifting to me…

Thanks all! Last night's meal was Perkin's new shrimp and pasta meal. We went out to eat to celebrate my daughter's bball win. She scored 18 points for her team! I did add some coconut oil today to my shake. I am also trying to figure out how to add pictures of my food from my android phone to my thread!

Be kind to yourself. You got through school to be a lawyer and even if you do not like it that is ok, it means you can do anything you set your mind to. Law school is no easy task. Please continue to go to the psychologist or find a therapist you feel comfortable with. Go every week or several times a week if you are able,…

GREAT STORY!! Very inspiring. I have been on this trip myself with a chronic illness called idiopathic intracranial hypertension. I only hope to be as successful as you this year!!

I requested on the group page to be a member!

How long did it take to get an email from Scale- Down to activate? I filled my prescription and activated my pharmacy card yesterday but still no email.

Beautiful!! You look so much happier and younger than in your first pictures.

Great job!!

I am a nurse supervisor and work full time 36 hours a week. I am also attending college full time. I go to clinicals 20 hours a week for my master's degree currently. That is not counting class work which tends to take up 10-15 hours a week. My schedule has been like this for six years thru my ADN, BSN, and MSN. I also…

Awesome!

Awesome!

I have lost 13 pounds in the last five days. I am also very sick. The scale is very deceiving. Realize that if you do this in a short period of time it is mostly water weight not actual pounds though. I was in the hospital, had a lumbar puncture to drain CSF and am on several diuretics to control my intracranial…

I have worked in the psych field for a very long time and I am currently in school to be a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I can tell you that humans can be mentally addicted to anything, whether it be good or bad for them. Food is used as a coping mechanism for many people in industrialized countries like America because…

I am trying to lose weight so I can rejoin the military. I am a veteran and was in the army 7 years ago. Now I want to be in the air force. If I lose enough weight they will pay my way through graduate school, pay for my nurse practitioner exam fees, and give me a monthly living stipend while I am in school which is great…

Hello nightshift!!! I am a nurse!! I also love the walking dead!!

Have fun!! Mine is coming tomorrow and then I will be joining you!!
