@aliciap0116 oh my gosh...I am great on computers but not phones...for some reason I didn't think I could play an apple podcast on my android podcast app...duhhh...just looked for it and there it is! And I was able to sort the order. Wow...I feel dumb :D But now I am excited and will most likely listen more! That's awesome…

@mmdeveau I have an android phone and it won't let me download the podcasts unfortunately. It's frustrating! Because I really wanted to listen from the very beginning and go to the end, but it is so difficult to go to the first ones on my phone ugh! I keep forgetting to look for the cacao butter...or order it on Amazon. I…

@mmdevaux cool! I really want to try it but something is stopping me on putting oil in my coffee :D But it's good to know someone is trying it and it's working! That's great that your co-worker liked the podcast...I mean it really is hard not to unless the language is just not acceptable to them! I been having a hard time…

Good afternoon! I didn’t get to post my weigh in on Friday on this thread. But I did input it in MFP. Although it did not show on my news feed…still not sure why. I am having a little bit of difficulty adjusting to my new work environment with the staff being cut in half. I am exhausted by the time I get home and I am a…

Thank you @aliciap0116! You are so right...I think on our other thread, someone asked about when we all started loving ourselves...I have a lot of work to do in that area! It still is hard sometimes on hard days :( But I hear ya on all of it! On the job, very good points! I did have some time to think over the weekend…

@hlr1987 I hear you, thank you! I was always honest in my profile and in my chats about my size. I always chose the "big and tall" and I really don't have any full length pictures of myself because I have always been self conscience of my size. Online dating is very hard, not sure if you ever have had to do it. Again, I…

@theleadmare thank you! I meal prep at the beginning of the week. I have lots of healthy snacks and lunch. The problem is finding the time to eat. We went from a staff of 7 to 2. I hope I can still make time to sit down and eat and not let myself get too hungry

Hi everyone! I needed to post to get some of my thoughts out of my head right now. I am having a difficult day. First I want to say great job @aliciap0116 for holding your ground on the pizza! I am the same way...not a fan of Dominoes...and if I am going to go off plan I want it to be good! Way to go! @leadmare I am glad…

Good morning! Today is my weigh in day. Had a loss and that is always good! I am very close to my first long term goal for 2020. I set these long term goals in January and were based on certain milestones. When I reach 10 lbs. lost in 2020 I get a pedicure! Yay! I pick up my new piece of equipment that will allow me to do…

@mmdeveau Good to know, thank you! I already have the coconut oil in the pantry! We have a place called Everman's I am going to see if they have the cocoa butter and possibly try it out. I try to include avocados and grab them when I think about it...I usually have almonds everyday if I have them. But I know I can benefit…

@mmdeveau I have not tried it but I looked at that the other day. I listened to one of the podcasts that she talked about it and how important it is to get the good fats. I am sure you have seen the recipe and her products that she likes...the cocoa butter wafers and the MCT. Not in my budget for the MCT oil right now, but…

Hi guys! I did something out of my comfort zone tonight! I opened up my diary :D Not sure why it gives me anxiety. I guess I feel I might be judged by what I eat. And I know that's silly! Anywho...its wide open :# There have been some great conversation s going on here! Love it, read through every post...hope to reply soon…

@VictorSmashes I have had many revelations on my health/weight loss journey! Too much to type! But I think the biggest thing that has changed this time is that I am not dieting. No deprivation here! I have chosen to make changes that are sustainable and it's working for me. It's a slow journey and I am ok with that. I am…

Hi there guys! I wanted to tell you about something that happened to me the other day at work. I may put it over on our other thread too. It relates to one of the podcasts I listened to awhile back. She also answered a question about this kind of thing on her live one where she was at her 6 day conference in TN. I was at…

@vegasgirl0825 I get it! I have had the same struggles...are you weighing your food and logging accurately? Are you drinking enough water? If you are exercising are you eating enough? These are all things that factor in. If you are doing all the things right...you will get a swoosh, you just have to be patient! Don't give…

@aliciap0116 so happy for you to get into your new jeans! I was able to put on a pair this morning for our jeans Friday, not a lower size but skinny jeans...and they are big around the waist!

Good morning fellow healthy warriors! I am very excited because I have had a slight whoosh! Not crazy but I like it! I have been under calories all week by a couple hundred and that could be it. But I am not ready to reduce my calories just yet unless MFP calls for it with the weight lost. I like having the extra calories…

@Terytha that's awesome. I am so excited for you! It's sounds like awesome fun! I am glad you took the plunge and are going to do something new!

@lemurcat2 I started out just scrolling through the episodes and picking the ones that caught my attention or I was just curious about. This week though I decided to go to the very beginning of her podcast and listen in order. Again, just out of curiosity as to how she started and progressed through the years. I have an…

@lemurcat2 she does have some opinions on things but is really adamant that "you do you" and what will make you successful!

@aliciap0116 thank you! I am very excited to do something different. I knew better but was falling into the norm that you have to go the gym to workout. I thought with my commitment to a healthier lifestyle this time that my dislike of the gym would change too! It took me almost 6 months of the struggle and guilt to figure…

@aliciap0116 great week! You came through shining after a fun weekend! We have to have those! Readjusting your goals when you figure out something isn't working for you falls right into what our discussions have been about! Good luck with the new goal of meal planning! I know you will love it...it seems you are a "routine"…

@bluffgirl67 prayers for your mom's successful surgery. Sounds like you have a great plan to get through but like @aliciap0116 says take care of you...you don't need the added stress of worrying about what you will eat...if you have to go off plan here and there that's ok and understandable!

@shorepine I think a lot of us feel the same way about logging and not being able to know our hunger ques. It's ok. @theleadmare mentioned on another thread...sometimes we have to do things to stay healthy...like someone with diabetes has to manage what they eat...well some of us will have to log. I think eventually there…

@sharpdust girl...I feel you! I have been struggling hard to go to the gym. I decided to cancel my gym membership and invest in used equipment for my house. I got on a app called Letitgo...and found some great deals. Hope they don't become coat hangers...but I don't think they will! I am excited to do it and I know I will…

@aliciap0116 thank you! I actually made the decision to cancel my gym membership last night! I am picking up a used treadmill and hopefully a used Hers Home Circuit Trainer if it is still available! Either way, I think I will be more apt to get on the treadmill at home. @theleadmare I do admire your thought process and I…

I listened to one about "food that we don't keep in the house" tonight. I was surprised to hear that she has those! She has food rules like "only eat when she is hungry". But yet she still has a food she cant keep in the house. I have some challenges with this and this is discussed about kids...because my son is a great…

Hey there! Thanks @aliciap0116 for setting this up! 1. I like this concept for sure! I have done so many things in my life to lose weight...and this time...I told myself I have to do something that is sustainable...can I do this the rest of my life. Can I go low carb the rest of my life...no I cannot...so with food I get…

Just to chime in on the food journaling and food tracking. I am with @speyerj in that they are similar and you can put your notes in from that day! It does give you more information for sure! But I also understand what Corinne Crabtree (Phit n Phat podcast) is trying to accomplish by training ourselves to get to know our…

Oh my gosh I missed a whole page of posts! @terytha congrats!! I know you are so thrilled and been working really hard to get to onederland!
