No fast food today. This is probably how I'm going to start each post... I need it front and center to be accountable so I keep it out of my life. I did have Subway for lunch and it's my one for this week. I took my car in to the shop because the heat fan does not turn on sometimes... it's very sporadic but once it finally…

@edna thanks for the info about B12. I am in no way thinking of doing the Bernstein diet as I know it is too restrictive and $$$. If the B12 shots really do control hunger I'd be willing to try it, it would be free for me after all. @erin so nice to know I'm not the only one who feels ADD-ish! My daughter was diagnosed 2…

Day 2 without fast food... not very hard when you don't leave the house! I rarely sit around and do nothing on my weekends, but today I'm doing just that. I get up off the couch every so often to put a few things away, toss a few things in the garbage, fold a few clothes. I have to tackle cleaning in a certain way.. one…

AFM = As for me

First of all, I finally changed my profile picture (and learned how to take a proper selfie!... albeit still a bit too much of a close up for my liking, but here I am). I said I was going to start my "no fast food for the rest of Lent" today and am happy to report I stayed away from the drive thru after work. I took some…

'Im near Hamilton, Ontario Canada. I'm down 45 lbs but have been stalled for several months. Need some new people to help kick my butt back into action.. motivation and support needed. Feel free to add me. :-)

I've gone backwards these past few weeks. It started with a bag of chips and just spiraled from there. I've gained 5 pounds in that time, though I know that it's really no gain at all and I've just replenished my glycogen stores. But I can't get down below that 200lb mark. With my neck pain my therapists at physio won't…

OK, so I'm going to stop apologizing for being behind on this thread all the time, and not doing personals. I do eventually catch up reading, but I'm trying to concentrate on other stuff right now. @Erin yours was my first unread post in this last section and I'm with you 100%. I'm getting over a relationship that ended in…
-
@mnwalkingqueen... I tried to reply to your post, but got all confused with the numbers. Maybe someone else will have the correct info. But in a nutshell, you still ended up with a deficit for the day.
-
Ughh... I'm so far behind again. I'm just going to post now, because I will forget what I came here to share. I weighed in on Sunday... 202.4 sooooo close! Then the same day I proceeded to stay home and binge watch Prison Break while eating an entire big bag of chips! Yesterday I didn't pack a good lunch so I bought fast…

i'd like to join please

Sorry, I am 13 pages behind. Life has become a bit busy in the past few weeks. Good busy, like get out of the house and play in the fresh outdoors with friends (and some new friends) kind of busy... it's nice, and I needed it. I've not been logging perfectly, but have been very mindful of what I'm eating. Not always the…

I have had a fitbit for a year, it has been a great motivator. I keep increasing my step goal to challenge myself. I have lost weight with it, but you have to put in the work, not just wear it and expect magical things to happen. It is a tool that can aid in weight loss when used correctly. I've lost 45 lbs in a year, due…

Wow I've been busy the past few days. Getting into the routine of going to physio 3 days a week again and adding in active sessions. Today was my first real 'workout' since November and I killed it! My neck pain and headaches melted away when I started to run on the treadmill for warmup, and during core exercises I had to…

Happy Monday everyone... I missed 3 pages of posts over the weekend and just caught up. I fall so behind on this thread now that it feels overwhelming to try to do personals for so many days, so I will just read and give updates for the time being. NSV yesterday... I went on a group hike that lasted most of the day, but…

I have negative self talk too, but once the weight started coming off, I gained more confidence, and the negative thoughts decreased somewhat. That helps along the way as negative begins to be replaced by positive. Way to stick with it.. you're on your way.

Sending you a request... anyone can add me as well. Need all the support I can get.

Calories in/out works every time, as long as you follow it. That means logging everything you eat. I eat whatever I want, although the more junky foods I eat the more hungry I am, so I eat more nutrient dense foods (protein, veggies etc) and I don't feel as hungry on the same amount of calories. You have to find what works…
-
I'm tired... skimmed the posts. A few people asked for my protein ball recipe... here it is, but beware, it's based on rice krispie treats so it's not a "health food", but I've made it just a bit less sinful. Peanut Butter Protein Rice Krispie Balls 1/4c butter or margarine 5 cups mini or 40 regular marshmallows 1/2 tsp…
-
Thursday truth.. I just got home, starving, and ate so many of those peanut butter protein rice krispie balls that I feel sick. Yep... I hate when I do that. No real stress today, just hungry. I wanted carbs. Oh well... tomorrow I will pack an extra snack or 2 so I am not so hungry when I get home. I just wish that I could…
-
Oh, and someone was asking what to bring to work if there was not a microwave... I have a microwave at work, but I found it such a hassle to bring food like salad, soup, casserole etc. because the fridge is 1. disgusting and 2. full of disgusting things that have been there forever and 3. the microwave is equally…

@Susan... Me! It took me 6 months to get back in the swing of things! I started again yesterday with eating. I was able to maintain my weight for the 6 months due to being very active. Now I'm less active because of the cold weather so I'm focusing on my diet. Pick one if you can't get yourself back in full gear, at least…

If this is something you cannot do for the rest of your life, then don't do it at all. I chose to cut down on certain foods, but not eliminate them, because I know I can't live the rest of my life without them. Enjoy your food!

Well, happy to say that my day 1 is going very well. I was challenged early in the morning as I realized I did not have an english muffin for my egg and cheese. I skipped it, brought my smoothie along to work and just had that. I was quite busy all day at work and managed to eat my lunch in 2 shifts when I got really cold…
-
I am happy to report that I went grocery shopping, prepped all my veggies, made a casserole and prepped my lentil soup for the crockpot tomorrow morning for lunches/dinners. I reset my TDEE to 2070 calories, which is only 130 calories less than I was allowed last time. That is for a 1.5 lb per week loss, still very…
-
I make a big pot of soup that lasts several days. I make casseroles that will do for several weeknight dinners. I chop all veggies and fruits and leave in containers in the fridge, so on week nights I can just grab the veggies I need and they are already cut up and ready to cook. I prepare several servings of frozen…

Hi again. I've caught up reading several pages of posts over the past few days. I tried to post yesterday but the site wouldn't let me for some reason. Anyway, hope everyone had a nice holiday season. I'm starting back on plan tomorrow... I like to start on Mondays. I'm cleaning out the kitchen on Tuesday (garbage night)…

@Robin... No, technically not a new doctor. They pooled all the doctors who have offices at the county hospital into one health team recently. So when they called to book my physical they gave me the option of using my own doctor or the female nurse practitioner. I chose the NP instead of my GP, I think I would feel much…

Another busy stressful day at work. I managed to start my Christmas shopping today on the way home. One pair of running socks for my sister. Pathetic, but at least its a start. I don't want to go anywhere near stores. The rest of my shopping will be done online. I have been getting Christmas tips from my mail customers,…
-
My life is crazy right now... busy working 6 days a week, I haven't started Christmas shopping, and I'm still going through a lot of emotional stuff. That in itself is exhausting, I never realized it could be. Still going to physio for whiplash... 2 steps forward, one step back, although the headaches have almost…
