I'm similar to you in a lot of ways except I don't really think I am able to retrain myself to accept smaller portions. I'm just too hungry if I do. So I stick with volume eating. But, even with volume (which is a lot of vegetables as I'm vegetarian) I love my psyllium. I'm not sure why you consider it a supplement but…

Well done!

Well done on getting started. Good luck!

First of all give yourself credit. Losing 40lbs is a big achievement. I know you've put it back on but the fact you did it at all deserves full kudos. Second, what you're describing sadly makes you a normal human. Not weak, not hopelessly destined to be fat. Just human. I'd say the people who lose weight, and keep it off…

Think about this a little. If you have been a person who has been obese or overweight (or are now) did you ever glare at people in exercise clothing? I'm sorry but it seems VERY unlikely to me that this is a real thing that happens frequently. Not saying it never happens but I really doubt that once a week someone is…

I’m about to move countries but I’ve stuck with my exercise routine right to the bitter end...usually (I move countries every few years) I tend to quit the last week or two with the rationale “oh my routine is about to be shot anyway”. Eating habits not so positive but at least there has been exercise every day. Glad your…

Even though I asked to be moved to the support list on Saturday due to moving, I’m still in Argentina through the end of the week. So I’m still doing my regular daily weigh-in. This morning I saw this... My final goal was 60kg. Now I’m not really to goal - I’ve been 60.x (with a different x each day) for a month. This…

Sorry to see so many people struggling at this time. I really hope things improve for everyone doing it tough right now and well done for still turning up and not just disappearing off the radar. @Beka3695 and @boehle - please move me to support team for the next few months. We’re about to have our last week in Argentina…

My head just isn’t in the game right now, I haven’t logged in weeks. So even though this looks like I lost my weight…

Happy Thanksgiving American people!

@cre804 not sure if you’re seriously asking but a favorite “fancy” dish in my family is vegan beef Wellington. If you google you’ll find lots of recipes. Here’s one https://www.deliciouseveryday.com/mushroom-wellington/ It’s not super quick but it’s quite easy and delicious.

Username: xioalongbao Weigh In Day: Saturday PW (Previous Weight): 132.5 (60.1 kg) CW (Current Weight): 132.5 lbs (60.1 kg) Same as last week but that doesn’t really tell the true picture. Weight was higher every day last week (I knew last Saturday’s weigh in was a low bounce). I just can’t get my head in the game right…

Glad you’re finding some success.

Not losing weight because you’re eating too little is not a thing. If you’re eating less than you’re burning off then you will lose weight. It’s one of those pesky laws of thermodynamics. It is possible that if you’re eating too little your body is responding by burning less (things like you moving a little less, heating…

Username: xioalongbao Weigh In Day: Saturday PW (Previous Weight): 134.4 (61.1 kg) CW (Current Weight): 132.5 lbs (60.1 kg) Another week of bouncing around the 61kg mark but this time weigh in day definitely caught a low bounce. Goal weight is 60kg...so close!

No need to apologise. Thanks for everything you do to keep this place ticking over. I won't do the step challenge in November - I'm too lazy to keep track every day for another month but it was fun for a month. Thanks for organising it.

It’s almost the end of the longest school year of my 20 years of teaching (we’ve been online since mid March) and I’m…

Steps 119106 to finish out the month.

Username: xioalongbao Weigh In Day: Saturday PW (Previous Weight): 134.2lbs (61.0 kg) CW (Current Weight): 135.3 lbs (61.5 kg) Weight bounced around 61kg all week but saved the highest weight for weigh in day. Oh well.

Awesome!!! Well done!

Steps: 104237 Total down a bit this week due to crappy weather. Still raining today so it will be a low total to start the final week too.

@hipari hopefully the symptoms improved. @Beka3695 great loss! Steps for last week 122399

Username: xioalongbao Weigh In Day: Saturday PW (Previous Weight): 135.8 lbs (61.6 kg) CW (Current Weight): 137 lbs (62.3 kg) I’d like to be all “ra ra got to get back on the wagon... next week’s going to be better” but I’m really struggling to find any interest in the process at all right now. But at least if I keep…

Were we supposed to be posting steps for last week? If so mine was 116685 for the week 4/10-10/10.

Ok so we need to keep track of our steps Sunday- Saturday and then post on Sunday? I’m in.

I’m not sure what the step challenge is but it sounds like something I’d vote yes to.
