Great progress!

Oh your food looks so good as usual - I was way behind in posts so had to scroll past like 3 dinners! Mouth watering...

Still kicking it Brenda - so cool!!

Wow Sammy you are doing SO AWESOME! So happy for you!!!

Good luck beating those binges Britt!

Stress is such a hard thing to deal with when you are used to using food for solace. I sometimes feel freaking starving and when I actually think about why, it's because I am stressed (though boredom does it for me too).

I work from home - my solution is I just don't go into the kitchen except to get coffee and water! It does help that I'm always pretty busy though. It's funny - after doing this for more than a year, I usually don't even think about eating until my usual time to eat (like 3 or 4pm). I also have a rule that I'm not allowed…

Today's weight - and Trendweight is happy with me today. I even have a new end date (AGAIN). Just have to keep it up this week - sure would be nice to see an actual drop on the scale (like 162 even!).

Good plan! I don't really have eating days as such, but I definitely go overboard on my OMADs on the weekend. So maybe they ARE eating days! Ha!

It's trendweight.com - it's a website.

Thanks for the tips everybody! Have totally forgotten to check in for AGES! Along with the crazy work hours, we've been getting some renovations done on the house so everything is a bit chaotic... I haven't weighed since Friday - Monday is never a good day for me to get on a scale!! :) Here is my trendweight - I think it's…

Thanks guys! Britt - it's going ok thanks! Super busy at work, working stupid hours, so not even logging onto here lately... Not even sure when things are going to calm down. Maybe August... Sob! Sorry I've not commented (or even had a chance to catch up with you guys. I seem to have got myself back into a "lose weight in…

Your goal is the exact same as mine - be able to fit comfortably into everything in my closet! I was SO close before I went to Europe, there was probably about 2% that didn't fit. Now it's probably closer to 25% that doesn't fit... :'(

Happy Birthday!!!

Sorry for the delayed reply - I've been fasting for over a year now. I actually found the pain relief was really quick - like a couple of weeks. Though I really upped my turmeric intake at the same time, so it's hard to tell which had the most effect....

Great to see you back in the game Steph!!

I'm back! Have had a fun two weeks celebrating... :) Time to get back to basics (again!!!). Super busy at work (up at midnight-2am right now for a conference call, ugh). Latest weights (will try to remember to weigh later today):

Well, I have OA in my hip, which I think has an inflammatory component? I think three things have helped hugely with that (I get hardly any pain now): 1. Turmeric 2. Weight loss 3. Fasting Hard to tell which has made the most difference, but I do know if I stop taking the turmeric for a couple of days, I get a LOT of pain…

Likely not with the extra long food and booze filled weekend I have ahead of me, that's for sure! Maybe next week??? You only turn 50 once though. I probably won't be doing OMAD but for sure TMAD. And thinking of bringing my scale with me, like Tracey, to at least try to keep things a little under control!!

It's actually all about the CLOTHES!! Which I guess basically translates to "it's all about the inches"... :)

Awesome comeback!!!! <3

Awesome loss!! Congrats for getting under 150!

That is my biggest weakness - cheese! And doubly so when there is wine or cocktails involved... Sounds like you have a solid plan though - have an awesome time!

Have fun at the beach! Jealous - it's pretty chilly around this neck of the woods now...

Quick update on my weight - seems to come off so much more slowly than it came on. Though I do have to remember it took more than 2 weeks to gain, and I've only been trying to lose it for just over a week... Still - I really kind of thought it would be a lot of water weight and just fly off. Ha!

Awesome job on the weekend - that's exactly how I like my weekend to go also... Good to be able to relax a little (not too much) on the weekends. Set point logic makes sense to me too! My body clearly likes being at around the mid 160s and fights me when I try to get below it... Super annoying - hopefully I can do…

Congratulations on 18 years (and the first full vacation day)!! That's such a good idea - bringing your scale. We are going away for the weekend and I just might do the same...

Yay!! Super happy to see you back!!! Bummer being sick for so long - hopefully the summer will warm you up and make you feel better...

Same here! I think for me it's because it's a "special occasion" so I justify it. I always regret it because it's usually grocery store bought and way too sweet...

Sounds like a great plan. I'm jealous of all your dancing!! :)
