@Angelfire365 holy moly on 2 hours of snow plowing!! Great exercise there! We do taco Tuesday and it’s so hard for me as a temptation. I want to eat it but it’s not within my nutrition plan right now. My husband is supportive but at the same time he wants me to enjoy things too so he’s also encouraged me to eat things that…

@bluffgirl67 yes, that’s in my plans. I need to prepare more small, hand held, easy to carry snacks that package well.

The running and stairs thing guys - 😱 How in the world!!! I’m so weak 😂

Yes!! Because the scale is evil and assesses all our body weight - not just fat loss. We can’t win with the scale.

Can we play a little game as a pick me up? I really need a mental health booster. A while back I posted a thread called What’s Your NSV? And not many people participated 😄 I’d love to hear what you guys want to have happen? Mine is happening - slowly. I gained 2 pant sizes from 16 to 20. I’m now back in my 18s. I can’t…

Medically speaking, 1/2 lb a week is still healthy progress. Slow and steady progress tends to help us behaviorally make long term changes that turn into life long attitudes vs short term changes. As many of us here are not wanting to regain the weight, we should applaud and encourage each other to take it slowly and…

I am so grateful for this group. I need to utilize it more, especially when I’m going through a moment of weakness. As I mentioned before, school has caused me to have stress I thought I was prepared to take on food-wise but I was wrong. The past two weeks I have been finding myself making mistakes. What is fortunate is it…

I have missed you guys all week!!!! First week back to school was very challenging for me. I have not been following my nutrition very well. I’m struggling with temptation and desire to eat what I bring because let’s just be honest😂 it’s not always tasty to eat convenience health food like protein shakes and protein bars.…

Weekly weigh in time!! I can’t believe I have made it 7 weeks already. That’s almost 2 months. It feels like eternity!!! This month I have not lost nearly what Iost last month. You can tell my body is starting to make adjustments already. I’m working just as hard. School starts tomorrow and my physical activity is about to…

@bluffgirl67 1st Woohoo!! 2nd I’ve had all my labs done so many times. I take vitamins and supplements. If I’m still deficient I’d be amazed, really. Last check, I wasn’t so I can’t imagine I am now but who knows...

Wow guys! I’m so excited for all of you! I wish I could be as good as you and tag each of you individually but holy moly 🤪 there are so many of you!! Each of you have unique and individual styles. I like it! I appreciate reading about each of your takes and incorporating bits and pieces into my own plans. That said, the…

Wow I go away for 2 days and it is crazy in here 😂 this is awesome!! Ok so here’s my weekly weigh in: Last week: 200 This week: 198.4 Lost 1.6 lbs in 1 week Not my personal best but still really good :) I have not eaten any of the cookies my husband made. The will power has been fierce with this one! I did find a keto…

Omg now he’s making chocolate chip cookies 😰 I can do this!! He’s like you can have one...well, yes, but I one turns into a dozen really fast with me 😂 so no, just no for now 😂

My hubby made pancakes for breakfast this morning. I couldn’t help it. I stuffed a dry, plain pancake in my mouth whole like a piggy 🐷 I literally almost choked on it! I’m not even 2 months in and I’m missing junk food so bad. It’s around me all the time. The temptation is so hard. I could have eaten a piece of fruit and…

They have a disagree button. Where’s the agree button? Like sometimes isn’t enough.

We have very similar stats and stories!!! I’ve always been big, however so losing the weight has always been a challenge. My twins are 3. My oldest is 10 and the next one is turning 7 next month. I battle depression too, and today to manage my stress eating I had eggs with some cheese. I feel proud of that decision…

Life is making me so anxious and sad. Food has always been my comfort and I’m not turning to it, so I’m feeling a bit lost. Because of my mental health I have certain daily goals and yesterday I couldn’t meet them. Today I wouldn’t allow myself an excuse but it literally took me all day to motivate myself to complete them.…

@bluffgirl67 😂 that’s exactly my problem!!! I don’t have the self control!!! I pick one thing wrong and then I pick another wrong and then the next and then it snowballs into all things wrong, and instead of sharing a plate I eat the whole thing 😳 I used to be able to share with my husband but that snowballing happened and…

Cardiovascular disease begins in early childhood (think kindergarten).

Yeet. And misusing legit when the correct form is legitimately.

@torihudson6 yay for being an inspiration! Have you ever heard of mindfulness? It’s a mental health concept but it has been expanded to include eating habits and mindful eating. There’s even a book called Mindless Eating that talks about the ways we and society set ourselves up to eat mindlessly and fail at healthy eating…

So I went to the doctor for my month weight check! Per his scale I lost 15 lbs in the first month! Woohoo! That’s quite a bit more than my 4 lb goal 😂. This morning was one of those tests of wills because my toddler knocked over my protein drink and I didn’t have anything for back up, so I basically had to go without…

I can’t wait until I can look at food like fuel instead of like the enemy. Right now I see healthy food options like a chore or work instead of like something I should be proud of for choosing. We went out for dinner to IHOP tonight and I chose the simple and fit 2 egg dinner. Because of my sleeve surgery I can’t eat it…

So I had a hysterectomy and usually it doesn’t bother me because I’ve eaten whatever I want for the longest time 😅 BUT now that I’m trying to behave, because I still have my ovaries and I still cycle 👿😡 omg I have been DYING for all things unholy 😭 I need to just get through this! I can do this!

Thank you 😊 you’ve done really well yourself!!

Yay the Jan thread is already hopping!!! Ok so here’s my stats for Jan: 5’6 283 lb SW 202 lb CW 140 lb GW I’m working with a doctor and I see him 1/3 for an update on next steps. I’ve been really strict on my diet with only two reward days (Xmas and my anniversary which was yesterday - NYE). I worry I’m too strict but I…

Ok so monthly recap: I’m hungry as hell. Pretty sure I’m still dehydrated 😅 I like my walking but my kids hate it and literally, physically try to stop me. I don’t walk a lot because I’m way, way out of shape. If we go by the doctor’s scale I started at 220 lb and today I weighed at 202 on my scale. That’s 18 lbs in one…

Tomorrow makes a month and and end to December tracking as the next will be in January. I still feel emotionally unstable. I know I blew my 4 lb goal out of the water but idk by exactly how much because idk how my scale compares to my physician’s scale. It’s likely off by a couple of pounds. So are we going to start a new…

@speyerj have you considered taking measurements as an alternative to the scale? Building muscle creates fluid retention and a buildup of lactic acid as muscles recover from exercise. This won’t cause a gain, per se, and shouldn’t cause a stall in loss when your weight is significant enough that you have enough to lose,…

Thank you for the happy story :) I’m struggling today. Eating was my self medicating for depression. I don’t want to eat, which is great, but the depression is so heavy right now. I am finding no joy in anything. 😭 I need more joyous stories like that
