@nsk1951- you sound like you’re in good spirits. I will continue to keep you in my prayers and I’m glad that your son was able to spend all that time with you as you healed. I understand I have been using a different food plan myself, and I feel it is redundant to come and log my food in this app all the time. However,…

@Shoppie2023 - it’s nice to know I’m not the only crazy person who gets up for a walk before work every morning. And I don’t think you’re crazy. It’s just my weird sense of humor. @JNettie73 - so glad that you did not break any ribs. I can only imagine the pain that you were in. A walk is better than no exercise at😉…

Man, I didn’t realize how long it had been. I don’t deal with stress very well, what I mean by that is I get in my own head and I get really laser focused on just what is ever stressing me out. I will start out by saying I might not be ready to date again. Or the amount of work I’ve done on my self just made me realize…

hi everyone… I really tried to sweet potato fries in the air fryer and they turned out so great. You know earlier in the year I wanted to go to Ireland in March for my 50th birthday but I procrastinated didn’t lose the weight I wanted to lose didn’t get my passport in time. So I decided to make it a year of turning 50. At…

Hey Everyone! I tried something new tonight. I made homemade sweet potato fries. Epic fail, slightly burnt, which is normal for me even with store-bought, sweet potato fries. But they weren’t crispy. I wanted them to be crispy. I cook them in the oven. Maybe that was the problem I don’t know, but I still eat them anyway.…

@nsk1951- I am so glad you checked in with us. I’ve been hoping and praying that you have been doing OK. I’m sorry to hear that the doctor situation has been such a pain in the bottom for you. I hope things get cleared up so that you can get the surgery that you need. I will keep you in my prayers, I hope you have a good…

@JNettie73 - I am so happy for you that you got your lab work in a good spot. You should be proud. That’s all your hard work. I’m also super proud of you for turning down your doctor and the medication. I know lots of people who have started taking that medication just for losing weight and nothing else but you don’t know…

@JNettie73- 🎉🎉 on wonderland. I am sorry that you had an emotional day, but I am glad that you were able to process it without stuffing your face. well, it has been very hot and humid here the last few days so we weren’t able to get outside like we usually do(we meaning me and my dog). However, I got some much-needed…
-
@Melwillbehealthy - cheering you on for your challenge. @JNettie73- I have not heard from NSK1951, praying that things are okay for her. I agree with both of you this thread was really great in the past it seems during Covid it fizzled a bit. If any of you are in this heat wave areas be safe. If you want to be friends on…
-
@Melwillbehealthy- I hope you had a wonderful time on your trip. I also try to pop in once a week. However, I started to get depressed for a little bit. I think it has to do with my hormones and old age changes. So I totally tuned out everything. I also don’t really log my food anymore so I have to be super intentional…
-
@nsk1951- I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I will keep you in my prayers and please let me know if you need any type of specific prayers. I knew I had been missing in action for a while. But I read through all of your guys post and I’m just going to make some big general comments here versus commenting on things…

@laurenmo279- Welcome! @Melwillbehealthy- the exercise will come for you… 30 days for habit to form. At least you got the food down. I have the exercise down but not the food. @nsk1951- I’m glad that you lost that pound and that you’re feeling better with your feet. I love your plan for me on focusing on your habits.…
-
@JNettie73- I totally understand not getting the out to eat part down yet. because I have been working so hard and not eating out as much I tend to over eat when I go out because I don’t get it as often. I know how determined you are and you will get that 7 pounds gone. @nsk1951- you and me are definitely on the same…
-
@nsk1951- I am in the same boat starting and restarting many times since 2011. During that time frame, my lowest to 238 in my highest was a little bit over a year ago at 285. My goal has always been 200. This time around is the first time that after losing 20 or 25 pounds I just stop the process altogether. The things I’ve…

hey everybody, I am just checking in it has been a while. And honestly there’s no real reason. I just became extremely depressed due to the weather that all I wanted to do was sit on my couch and watch TV. But the snow has finally melting. well, at least in my yard it’s all gone. I have been able to go outside in just…
-
@JNettie73 - great job sticking to your fake routine. I hope your shoulder feels better soon hey, I’m just checking in… I am so happy that it warmed up enough here that the city actually plowed the alley after complaining every day for a week. So weird I could actually leave my house today and I didn’t actually go anywhere…
-
hey ladies, I am so sorry that I have been off the grid… I have been fighting with the city to plow my alley,so tired of not being able to go places because I can’t get out my alley. I tend to isolate and shut down and eat like crap more. It’s been a hell of a winter and at times I’ve been thinking of leaving Minnesota all…

I apologize I use talk to text a lot on my phone for the app and I didn’t see that there were new people that joined. Welcome new people and good luck on your journey. My best advice is that every day is a new day and never beat yourself up. I know sometimes that’s easier said than done.

Hi Everyone! @JNettie73- wow what a roller coaster ride with your appliances. I’m glad you’re getting everything figured out. i’m sorry that your families been so sick the beginning of this year and the end of last year. I hope everybody stays healthy for a while. Awesome news on your bloodwork and your A1c numbers. I’ve…

it’s been a minute since Christmas I guess. I weighed in today at 242 pounds which is higher from my before holiday weight but my weight has been going down since the 13 pound gain from last October through December. The good thing is that I am not getting down on myself if the scale isn’t moving as fast as I would like it…
-
@nsk1951 - I know that our struggles will get better. I listen to a seminar on January 1st about weight loss. I learned that a lot of our setbacks are because weight loss starts from the inside out. It’s just not the mental part about we’re going to do this this time and we’re going to try hard. It’s also about…
-
@nsk1951- Hope you were able to talk to your doctor. That must have been scary for you. AFM- being alone at Christmas was really bad. I weighed myself this morning and I am up 13 pounds from my last weigh in. I already know it was because I chose to eat poorly and I didn’t exercise as much. Back to 250lbs
-
@JNettie73- warm bread pudding is my favorite dessert with vanilla ice cream on top. December has been a really rough month for me so far and I’m glad it’s almost over. I have been missing because I have been mentally exhausted. My car is been in the shop three times a week each time where I don’t have a car because nobody…

@nsk1951- I say catch 22 all the time. I was always taught it was your damned if you do and damned if you don’t a catch 22. I’m so sorry. The women at your luncheon thing are making you feel that way. I struggle with the same thing if I stand sideways in the mirror, I feel like I’m so fat and haven’t accomplished anything…
-
@JNettie73- I was thinking about going to Ireland for my birthday. I found this travel group where it’s less than 10 people per travel. However, then I start thinking about how much it would cost me to have somebody watch my dog I don’t live in the best neighborhood so then it’s hard to find people to come and sit at your…
-
@nsk1951- I’ve been losing marbles for a while now😉😄. your volunteer activity sounds so fun. I feel like that disease would be like the movie 50 1st dates. Good luck with your medication changes. I hope all goes well. I also have been like you, and not adhering to much of a plan with food. And indoors farmers market. That…

@nsk1951-Great observations about yourself. Loved that you looked back at Sept and your accomplishments. @JNettie73- Hugs my friend for the feeling of sadness you had. It is always hard to go through loved ones things. Great hoals that you wrote down. Monthly pics are a great idea! Great NSV at the farm with your kiddo. I…

hey guys, just doing a quick stop in. I will read through the post and comment later I have been doing really crappy eating lately and last week the scale showed it. I was up 5 pounds. I will say I don’t like not having a scanner because I’ve learned that things that other people have put in is not always accurate to what…
-
@JNettie73- I don’t pay for premium but I think that’s kind of crazy that you would have to pay to get the barcode scanner thing. I also haven’t been counting calories now that I am working on only eating when I’m hungry which is probably why I haven’t lost any weight in a month. I had an epiphany today. I realize that…
