I haven't been active in here in a while. Still reading the posts though. Hoping some of you guys can offer ideas on how I can manage the rest of my week food wise and not completely overdo it. My schedule: Wednesday: ballpark supper (daughter plays softball) Thursday: son's 8th grade field trip to New Orleans. All day…

Praying that all is okay! 🙏🏻

You are not alone and not the only one struggling. We just have to keep pushing forward. We can do this!

This week will be a challenge for me. * Wednesday is softball night with my daughter. Ballpark supper. * Thursday we will be spending the day in New Orleans for my son's 8th grade field trip. 6:30 AM until 9:00 PM. That means a day full of good food starting off with beignet's for breakfast at Cafe du Monde. On the plus…

You have a glow about you in your second pic. You're doing great!

Oooo I'm stealing this and putting it as the backdrop on my phone. Weekends are my nemesis.

Username: DeshotelK Week: May Week 2 PW: 191.8 CW: 192.6 I know why it’s up. Started back on weights this week and had a couple of high sodium meals in the last two days and haven’t been getting in enough water.

I had to laugh at the bolded. I've done this many times! Great job on holding out!

Daily Check-In: Wed. May 8 Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: No No exercise due to it being a ball park night, but I managed to stay under my calorie goal even with my ball park burger for supper. Yay!

Daily Post: Tuesday 5/7 Tracked: Yes Calories: Over Exercise: Elliptical 18 mins.

The most difficult days for me are weekends. I live in the south and everything revolves around gatherings with lots of food. If I can get that under control, I know I would have much better/faster results. We will do this!

Daily Post: May 6th Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: Yes! Today actually felt like my normal (used to be normal) routine and it felt so good. Kept my calories in check and also was able to get in a workout. It was a weight workout day, which isn’t my favorite, but I’m looking to retain muscle while losing so it’s…

80 calories in one day may not make much of a difference, but 80 added calories on a few items every day will! I have to say I don't normally measure pre-packaged food. I may have to start doing that though.

Awesome job!

Happy Monday Slimsons! The celebration weekend for my two best friends' 40th is over and boy am I feeling it. Lack of sleep, too much alcohol, lots of food (much of it high sodium) and I'm feeling so bloated and sluggish this morning. Getting my water in and back to my normal way of eating today. Just caught up on reading…

I keep a list of alternative snacks that I like. Halo Top vs. Blue Bell, fruits vs. cookies/cake, individual portion size things vs. large bags/packages. He knows. It's very frustrating. I tell myself "just don't eat it", but it's easier said than done. He won't stop so I need to figure out a way to handle it without…

I have a question for you all. How do you handle living with someone who is a junk food junkie? My husband knows I don't want ice cream, chips, candy, cakes, etc. in the house all the time. I do buy some on occasion, but not every time I shop. I told him that I feel those things should be occasional treats on weekends or…

Username: DeshotelK Week: May Week 1 PW: 191.8 CW: 191.8 Tonight I’m going eat dinner with friends for their 40th birthday celebration (twins). I’m hoping I can keep my calories in check today so that I can enjoy dinner tonight. No alcohol tonight. Tomorrow is a crawfish boil. The sodium combined with the alcohol (I know I…

I had a what I thought was a great burger last night too. My 500 cal burger doesn't sound nearly as appetizing now knowing you had a 1300 cal one. LOL Must have been mouth watering!

I needed to see this today! Thank you!

Daily Post: Wednesday May 1 Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: No Tonight was softball night. Got home too late to exercise. BUT I did good with my food today and feel so much better than I did this morning after yesterday’s binge. I started using Happy Scale this week. I’ve never been a person who weighs daily, but I’m…

@gjaholy33 You are a delight in my day. Your posts are always so uplifting even when you are facing hardships. When I'm having doubts and am down on myself, I read your posts and find renewed motivation and dedication. Thank you for being such blessing and inspiration.

Daily Post: 4/30 Track: No Calories: Over Exercise: Yes. Went for a walk to enjoy the sunshine and lift my mood. Today I felt lost with my food. I didn’t have any of my normal food at work and grabbed candy. That started a domino effect. I was so hungry from having a very early lunch and then no afternoon snack other than…

Ah, okay. To us, a snowball is shaved ice topped with flavoring. Mainly only available during the summer, but where I live some places sell them year round.

Daily Check-in: Monday 4/29 Tracked: Yes Calories: Over (not by much, but not sure since I don't count exercise calories unless it's extreme) Exercise: Yes! Finally!! So happy that I am finally able to get back to working out. I haven't been able to do any type of consistent exercise for a few months due to my kids in…

I had the same question! I'm from Louisiana and don't know of any other state that calls them "snowballs". Got excited that there may be someone else from my area in this group.

Daily check in: April 28 Track: No Calories: Over Exercise: No Weekends are the hardest for me. Working on getting my weekend eating under control. I lost the battle yesterday and today.

You are my goal! I'm 5'9" but everyone tells me they think I'm taller. It's nice to see someone's pic who has a similar height/frame. You look great!
