Thanks Rachel and Podkey. Podkey, yep went down the Grand Canyon this year. It was amazing. I'll do that one again. The food was pretty normal and it was easy to give cakes and brownies a pass on that trip. Rachel, I like the purse idea or having something in one hand. I don't carry a purse to the RV potluck, but I'll…

WTG Jim! Amazing progress.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

I'd ask the Martians who seem to have superior scientific ability if they have figured out how to eat all you want and maintain a good weight. :) Surely they have found a pill or something.

@goldenfrisbee - keep at it.

I'm back to lose 10 lbs that I've put on. I track using MFP and calories. The rest of the world uses calories, MFP is very easy to use and their database has lots of things and is mostly accurate. I did WW on and off for years, I found it frustrating to calculate points. I had a little book where I would store points for…

I haven't figured this out yet. I think motivations comes and goes. I have some good habits that stuck. I have some other bad habits that snuck in while I wasn't paying attention.

WTG all you losers. Any lose is a good lose.

Happy Friday

Congrats on the loss. Ouch on the finger.

I can't remember the WW topics so I guess they didn't stick. One I like from another source had to do with travel. It said before you go on a trip, decide if you are in lose mode, maintain mode or eat unrestrained. Before my last trip, I spent a lot of time thinking how I would eat on the trip. (All inclusive scuba diving…

Morning

I'm traveling in August but I'd be willing to take a shot at this in September if you need people.

I have a switch in my head that goes on and then off. I also have no idea why. I wish I could figure it out so I could turn it on. I'm reading with interest what works for others. I want to form a third team, ice cream. Our local ice cream store moved to a bigger store a block away. I had a mocha almond fudge "junior…

WTG Tim

#1 hit was Monday Monday My challenge is social events so Monday's are easier if we are at home. Just came back from a week of vacation on a dive boat.Let's just say lots of food and drink. Sigh. Time to get back on it. I hope the scale is showing just a temporary weight gain.

I'm not a vegetarian but I eat a lot of vegetarian meals. I don't eat red meat or pork. I do eat fish and poultry. I started doing it for health reasons and now because I like to eat that way. It is hard to eat vegetarian when you are a guest at someone's house or when you go out to eat. Restaurants have gotten better but…

Woo Hoo! Congrats Jim376mfp

Coming home from trips is fun. I immediately think I'm glad I live where I do. I get to catch up with friends. I get to eat a lot of my favorite dishes that I have at home that I can't get while traveling. I'm retired so there are trips and then time at home. Vacation loses meaning once you retire :) I like trips too, of…

Two points First thank you all for taking time to share your thoughts. I do appreciate it. I like countcurt's blog. He is a good writer. Second, Countcurt said in his blog post that asking what's different this time sounds snarky. While he wrote the blog long before I asked the question, I thought OOPS :~ It wasn't…

Mine is black beans and brown rice topped with 2 cups of steamed vegetables. Then we top it with a yogurt curry sauce. The yogurt sauce is plain yogurt with spices mixed in, no cooking or anything fancy. This is so good. We have it about once a week.

We eat a lot of salmon and ahi. (Omega 3's) Right now we are grilling them outside. We sprinkle Paul Prudomme's blackened fish seasoning on the fish. Note do NOT follow his directions that call for 2 lbs of butter, just sprinkle on the fish. We have fish once or twice a week. Moving toward twice a week. Also we buy frozen…

We went rafting the Grand Canyon and had no eating plan. Let's just say the number on the scale wasn't pretty. We are going on a dive trip next week. I definitely have a plan. My plan is outlined in another post. I'd like to come back without gaining weight.

My brother said it used to really irritate him when people said it was easier for men to lose weight than women. It wasn't easy for him. When I'm on eating on plan and trying to lose weight, my husband who doesn't need to lose weight loses without trying. It's easier for him. So I agree with @countcurt said, especially…

brush your teeth, extra well. Do the flossing thing really well, do your electric toothbrush twice (4 minutes). Your dental hygienist will love you. This takes 5 to 10 minutes. You will have distracted yourself from snacking and really after you have brushed your teeth you may not want to get them "dirty" again for the…

@linmueller thanks

@countcurt Thank you for your tips. I agree, I don't like buffets, the food is not as good and it's too easy to overeat. On this smaller boat, they have only one place to eat. I do like your scouting trip idea and having salad first. Good idea

I had to switch from a person that ate and drank to celebrate almost anything to a person that eats like thin women. When I was working, I would watch how my thin co-workers ate. I back slid recently so I'm working on getting that picture back in my head.

Morning, getting ready for the holiday weekend.

I'm a change over time person. It's taken me awhile to change my habits to lose weight. I didn't do so well at keeping it off so I'm back again. I broke my leg and then developed chronic tendinitis in my other foot. I've been waiting to recover so I could get back into running and hiking again. I've now decided that may or…
