@Krysless2 I'm in for the water/step challenge. Step goal: 7,000. I'm a stay home mom and I take only about 3,000-4,000 steps in a day. So I have to go for a walk or do a "walk from home" workout to get my steps in. This means at least 20-30 mins of intentional workout, which is one of my goals.

Hi everyone, F/49/5'2" I've been going up and down ( way more up than down) since 2008 and I'm tired of feeling meh. I need to lose 45 lbs to be healthy and happy. And I HAVE TO KEEP IT OFF. My goal is 4-5 lbs a month and be 135 by March 2021 on my 50th birthday. July starting weight: 179.1 July goal weight: 174-175 Week 1…

Yes. ●Workout? 30 mins home walk, 10 min yoga with my son🙂, 10 mins upper arm workout, plank challenge day 3: 45 seconds ●Water? 10 cups ●Net carbs: 48, awesome! Fiber still low at 12. ●Bed time last night: 1am🙄 ●Wake up: 8:30 Lazy day. Nothing worth mentioning. Overcast,…

Each day is a gift and a new beginning. It's ok to feel defetaed but you can use that negative emotion to jump start your new day. Take a deep breath and smile in the face of that pesky weight gain. Tell it to take a hike. Tell it that it's a simple, puny bump, not a lost war.

6/30 Calories tracked? Yes. Calories under? Yes and I didnt eat back my workout calories! Workout? 25 mins home walk, 15 mins abs and upper arm workout, plank challenge day 2: 2 X 25 seconds Water? 10 cups Net carbs: at my goal of 45! Fiber needs work, though, with only 11g. Bed time last night: midnight Wake up: 7:30 Good…

I'm not a medical professional, just a fellow type 2 diabetic. You definitely need a dietitian experienced in diabetes. My dietitian told me the following: 1) not to exceed 100g of carbs per day, 2) to consume minimum 20g of fiber, 3) only 2 or 3 meals, ideally eaten at the same time everyday, 4)no snacking at all, 5)…

Metubal 6/29 Calories tracked? Yes. Calories under? Barely but yes Workout? 25 mins Leslie Sansone, 20 mins butt and thigh workout, and started a plank challenge with only 20 seconds today. Water? Currently at 5 cups, I have 2hours until bedtime, so I'm sure I'll reach 8 cups today. Net carbs: 67. Way over my goal of 45.…

Hi, Metubal, or real name, Ebru. I'm 49, married, have a 12-year-old son. Fit and healthy until I got pregnant at 36. It was a complicated pregnancy with strict bedrest, gestational diabetes, and health issues with the baby. After my son was born, both my and my son's health have gotten progressively worse. Stress and…

I have diabetes and fatty liver. I tried a low fat diet for 3 months and I kept craving olive oil the entire time! Eventually I modified my diet to include olive oil, and I realized it would be sustainable only with olive oil😁 Mediterranean is the best diet, in my opinion, as long as you eliminate or minimize simple carbs.…

Metubal PW 179.5 CW 179 Overall, I had a very good week. Very relaxed. Finally we had a few sunny days, which changed our moods for the better in an instant. Discovered a new hiking trail on Tuesday, and spent 3 hours on the beach today. Both places were packed with people, no masks or social distancing at either place. I…

Metubal PW 180 CW 179.5 I was doing acceptable until yesterday. My carb intake has been too high, so I felt sluggish all week. But, yesterday... For the first time this summer, weather was great, sun was shining, it was 70 degrees! I took my son for a walk by the lake, we had a nice picnic... Then he wanted ice cream. Oh,…

I have drip lines on a timer. No worries there:) But it's been raining, storming, and hailing nonstop since the beginning of May:( I need summer for my veggies and myself!😁

Metubal PW 181.1 CW 180 I had a crazy week. Lot of dr appointments for my son. I was either glued to the phone or running in hospital hallways. Finally decided on the books for the core subjects for next year. I ordered everything, feeling pretty accomplished:)) I haven't started looking at electives yet.... I feel like…

Me, too! Metubal is on Fridays:)

Metubal PW 182.7 CW 181.1 Was a busy week. CPA and dr appointments.. I'm also trying choose next year's curriculum. Homeschool planning and curriculum shopping are fun. My son will be a 7th grader!

I'm starting over.. again. Accountability means a lot to me. Every time I step away from here, I gain a lot of weight. Took May off, and I'm up 8 lbs! I'm a 49yo homeschooling mom to an amazing almost 12yo boy. I was healthy and thin most of my life until about 9-10 years ago. Then... I gained 70 pounds and got diagnosed…

Metubal Friday 182.7 I was with the Gutbusters before so I would love to join them again. Thanks!

I'm in. I need to get down to 160 so I can move around easier. Then down to 135 to feel good and healthy again. So, 18 lbs is the mini goal, 43 is the main goal. Goals: - 2 or 3 meals a day wih no snacks - no eating after 8pm - 10 cups of water - going to bed before midnight - walk 2-3 times a week - net carbs less than…

She is better and out of the hospital now. Hopefully the nightmare is over for good.

Metubal May Week 1 PW 177.8 CW 178.3 I gave in to stress:(

@Keepingtrack1234 Hi, team. I really want/need to jump back in. April was tough, my mom spent a week in the hospital fighting coronavirus. 2 days after she was discharged, she was rushed to the Emergency due to difficulty breathing and elevated heart rate. I was handling Covid 19 pretty well until my mom got sick. I went…

I tried Dr Fuhrman's Nutritarian plan about 8 years ago, hoping to make it my lifestyle. I couldn't continue past the third month because a) i was craving oil, I was actually dreaming about having olive oil on my salads:), 2) the plan is plant-based: very limited animal protein is allowed and eggs are definitely a no-no. I…

Hi everyone. I've been unable to write for a while -again-. My mom was diagnosed with Covid 19 and admitted to the hospital on Monday. It's been a roller coaster. She is 79 and we live about 6,000 miles apart (she lives in Turkey, my home country). She's a health-nut, in good shape and very active. So, she's been handling…

April week 2 PW: 176.9 CW: 176.4 * these are my weekly averages. I was doing awesome until Friday. Then my husband wanted to stay up to watch movies both on friday and Saturday nights, which means we stayed up until 3-4am and had late night snacks. I didnt touch chips or crackers or any other carbs really (ok, maybe a few…

April 2 Weight 175.8 (psyllium husk worked:)) Calories: tracked and under Exercise: deep house cleaning for 4 hours (including scrubbing floors, sheesh) Net carbs: 63. Second day in a row I'm going over my goal. Still not worried. Had oatmeal for breakfast, first time in 2 years:) This week is technically our "spring…

Well, it snowed:( I didnt feel like getting out at all. Soon, hopefully.

April 1 Weight 177.7 (constipated, day 3🙄) Calories: tracked and under Exercise: deep house cleaning for 1 hour Net carbs: 54g. I went over but this happens rarely so I'm not worried. But sugar is 45g. Don't know what I did today? I was hoping to go for a walk tomorrow morning before my husband goes to work. I just checked…

My weigh-in day is Monday. I am not sure if I should wait until next Monday (first Monday of the month?) or post for yesterday? I'll go ahead and post for yesterday. Metubal for March 30 April week 1 PW: 178.6 CW: 176.9

Hi everyone. I had lots going on towards the end of February so I took March off. Now I'm ready to join my team again. Can I just jump back in? I was in Gutbusters in 2018, lost 36 pounds. Then had a very tough 2019 and gained 25 pounds back🙁 i joined Gutbusters again in January and February 2020 but couldnt focus on my…
