End goal: 160 Yesterday I had planned to have cake, chips, etc. as we celebrated my son's graduation. The cake tasted so intensely sweet and the chips so salty! I indulged,…

SW: 312 (4/15/20) 5/9: 294 5/16: 293 CW: 292 End of May GW: 288 UGW: 160 Good morning everyone! I hope you're all having a great Saturday. I think I need to adjust my end-of-month goal. This one pound per week isn't going to get me there, but I keep telling myself that it's a good thing: slow and steady, better for my…

@KeriA As someone who was born and raised in Seattle, I am also a coffee enthusiast and enjoyed your thoughts on the subject. I now live across the country and so I have my own countertop espresso machine. I can give up many things, but coffee will be the very last to go! Also, I am pretty frugal, so making my own is a…

SW: 312 (4/15/20) 5/9: 294 CW: 293 End of May GW: 288 UGW: 160 I was encouraged by my early losses and hoped to be out of the '90's this week, but at least it's a loss. My end-of-May goal is still attainable. @Terytha I think I have the same "magic bag." I love it for aches and pains, and even just evenings on the couch in…

@CupcakeCrusoe I also find myself eating every couple of hours throughout the morning and early afternoon. I definitely feel your struggle! I try to make sure I have several kinds of snacks (pistachios, white cheddar rice cakes, cottage cheese, cucumbers in vinegar) that I can have and not stray off course. Always in…

@procolorer Thank you! @cesse47 Thanks! I've started doing some stretches - too soon to know if it's helping my knees. I find that sugar really exacerbates inflammation, so that's been a big factor.

I'm Karen (but not a "Karen" lol). I'm not new to MFP, but have a renewed interest in health after my husband had a health scare that thankfully, turned out to be nothing. It did serve as the gentle tap on the shoulder that he and I both have the time and the chance to make some changes in our health. 51 years old, 5’9" SW…

I'm feeling motivated as well, and added you!

Also sounding like a broken record here... a sleep study can help determine why you're needing a nap in the afternoon. I was the exact same way, from the time I was a teenager until my husband insisted I get the study done (in my 30's). I have severe obstructive sleep apnea, and now use a CPAP (constant positive air…

I haven't been quite as disciplined this last week as the two previously (corn dogs for dinner), but I'm still on track for a steady loss. Only 8 pounds down, but I already feel the difference in my knees, which means I can walk more. That's a huge win! Starting Weight: 318 lb (Oct 08) Goal Weight: 285 lb (Dec 24) Ultimate…
