I'm back from my European adventures. Had a great time, but it was a tremendous strain on my body. I should have lost weight before I left but couldnt get in the right frame of mnd. I was doing well but tripped (Europe is full of hazards) in Montenegro and hurt my knee. Thought it would get better but gallivanting all over…

Didn't do well yesterday. Tried to cut back at breakfast because I was having a family spaghetti dinner and wanted to save calories. Got hungry and ate but within reason. Has zucchini spaghetti and it was surprisingly good. Gave it to temptation for chips and dip and salsa and chips. Gained almost a lb. Today is a family…

It's been a tough week and though loss was not what I anticipated I did lose and have two more days. Yesterday was a wAsted day. Just sat around and did nothing. Friends driving up on 4th and we will see the sights then head out for Niagara Falls and the Toronto to fly to Nova Scotia I've had lots of Nsv's. Have had…

I'd like to start tho late in June and continue In July. This is a major issue for me Katrenaj

Katrenaj. I would like to join. Up for a challenge

Birgit. Your loss is fantastic. Congrats to u. My guess is to get the last 5 lbs off u r going to have to do something different maybe more exercise or change ur menu around. But whatever it takes u have proven u s meet this challenge. You go girl!!! Like the no snacking challenge but as someone else said I'm a night owl…

Newjax i do the same things. Some days it works Today went for long walk, caught some sun. Did my stretches. When I went to prepare dinner I was missing an essential ingredient. Decided to eat my leftover steak from yesterday. It was good but I had looked forward to the original meal. After dinner I drove into town and my…

Trinati. My hardest time is evening. I try to save something that I can eat popcorn or berries but don't always have extra calories. I remade a list of chores to do and I'm going to try and distract myself with chores and of course drink water Good luck Down 7.8 lbs from when I started earlier this month. Going to make…

Jam. Congrats on the loss I wish to start the weight challenge. I was 216.4 this morning. I'm on the 8 week blood sugar diet. It advocates fast weight loss Katrena

It's not as much as I would have liked and I sabotaged myself, but it is a loss.I didn't consciously do much this week but avoid sweets, colas and drinks lots of water. That seemed to help weight loss. Looking forward to next challenge and finding ways to cut off at the pass, triggers that get me off point. Age: 71 Height:…

After sliding down the rabbit hole, I finally emerged. Decided on a good lunch instead or junk food and went for a walk by myself in the woods. Called a friend and she agreed to walk with me in the future. It's so lovely there. I am so stressed out and that is contributing to the isolation. Got a positive email from my…

robin - Enjoy the jeggings. Nice surprise and thanks for sharing

I really blew this challenge. Gain of 6.2 lbs in two weeks. Lost control and struggling to get it back. Much like an alcoholic who falls off the wagon.

Back from Charleston. Gained 5 lbs. Struggling to get back on track. Charleston was great but my daughter and her husband focus on food. Seems as soon as we ate breakfast, they were ready for lunch and then dinner. I finally opted out for dinner after a huge buffet dinner Easter Sunday. As much as I love traveling with…

Was afraid to weigh in yesterday. Lost control and couldnt seem to get it back but magically it reappeared., Why do I keep sabotaging myself like this.?????

Not sure I know how to share a bodyshot. Achy and tired after a major eating binge this weekend. Not so much how much I ate as what I ate. Out of control. Surprized just 2.5 lb gain. But today is a new day and an opportunity for me to stick to my eating plan. I have been skirting on the edge for a couple of weeks and need…

Sunday Share - I blew it this weekend. It started with lunch at a restaurant with a few cheats, got totally out of control with Chinese food and today was just crazy binge behaviors that I had not indulged in for a whlle. I will get back on track though. For two weeks, a gentleman from my subdivision, whom I have never…

CampfireQueen - Like the rest of you if I keep my carbs to 45 grams or less I lose fast, but more often i am in the 90's and lose but more slowly. next week I am going to really try to stay within 45 gms so I can break 210 or at least close. Going on a bus trip Tuesday to the Cherry Blossom Festival, so will have to be…

Steady loss. But in great pain today,. I went to a Yoga/Mindful Meditation class that was termed for Grievers. So I assumed it would be gentle. Got in and realized it was much too advanced for me. Teacher kept trying to get me in a pose and I told her it was hurting my back. Finally broke out in a cold sweat and had to go…

I will be thankful for my loss so far. At least it is not getting higher. My frustration is with myself. After a perfectly good day yesterday, I chose to eat pistachios (40) before bedtime. I know if I stuck faithfully to my plan I would lose faster. Katrena Age: 71 Height: 5' 1/2" Start Weight (week of Feb 22) 228 Goal…

Lost another lb. Hope i dont do like last week and gain it back before weigh in tomorrow. Made some good choices yesterday. Need to move my body today Thought for Today: Everything is your life is a result of the choices you made. If you want a different result, make a different choice. I ask myself - What do I choose…

Stayed on calorie limit, but way over on carbs. Will wait till tomorrow to eat my raspberries. Hope to get started back on exercise tomorrow. Mermaid - Your ideas are great. I like the bracelet. That should really motivate. I also like the pictures. Think I'll get out my selfie stick and start taking. Good luck to you.…

Yesterday I walked the straight and narrow all day Met family for dinner and had 3 onion rings from my granddaughter plate. So many carbs and fat. Threw me off for the day. And they weren't that good. Very good day today if I can tame my inner child and not eat after going to bed. Trina - I would call that successful also…

"Went way over. Biggest problem is skipping breakfast and then getting busy and eating out of hunger. Uusually fast food. Then St Patrick's day party tonight, Chose pretty well but a Jr Bacon cheeseburg & chili at Wendys is over 700 calories so that was hard to overcome. Tomorrow is a new day and I shall overcome

Showed lot of willpower today. That's good because the past few days were wash outs. I have to lose weight as I have travel planned and I will be miserable and also my health demands it. I feel so much better when I eat right. Now if I can just get back to exercizing again, all will be well. I have a plan for this evening.…

Two rough days. Yesterday slept till 11:15 am and had an 11 oclock appmt. Skipped breakfast, ate three small Krystel hamburgers and they totaled over 800 calories. Rest of day was washout. Trying to get control again today but family stress is taking its toll. I have to decide not to let that happen. On positive note,…
