I will continue to track... Even on Thanksgiving... This is my way of staying accountable.

Sounds great. I unfortunately have almost 150 to lose so while I won't be at goal by summer 2017 I surely can be a LOT closer to it :)

The hunger scale I was taught was a little different. It went from 1 to 4. Level 1 was not hungry at all, level 2 was starting to get hungry but not hungry enough to eat a real meal (this is where if you are tempted to eat it would be more snack based foods) level 3 is true hunger. This is when you are supposed to eat…

A splash of creamer or a packet of monkfruit... Never both.

I search for my previous week's post use the quote button, remove the bbcode for the quotation box, add my current weight and post. But then I use my phone so may be an easier way on a computer.

Starting weight 309 current goal 290 final goal 160 :) Oct 24:304.6 Oct 31:300.6 Nov 07: 299.6 Nov 14: 297.2 Nov 21: Nov 28: Dec 05: Dec 12: Dec 19: Not a bad week. - 2.4 from last week... Still feel like I should have done better.

I don't get uneasy feeling...I first get muscle twitching then get extremely cold... Teeth chattering can't get warm to save my life and then get extremely tired and if I'm allow myself to fall asleep will sleep for 4 hours. It usually takes me a couple hours or so to stop shivering. But not uneasy.

Awesome job! I'm 299 and size 24. My goal is to get to 150 and a size 16. Your success is an inspiration to me.

I use to not drink plain water... Ever. But since beginning my weight loss journey I've cut out all soda (which was 90% of what I drank before) now, while I don't drink only water, I do drink coffee in the morning and teas in the evening... On special occasions perhaps a little alcohol; I do manage to drink 3 to 5 liters…

But…

Wow! Amazing job! You are my new inspiration. I'm currently a size 22 with a 42 in waist... I have 140 pounds to lose before I am in a healthy BMI range and you did so great in just one year... Here's to hoping that I am so successful. Thank you!

I think plus size clothes are on average are bigger between the sizes. I remember when I started to lose weight I lost 45 pounds before I went from a US 24W to a US 22W. I am still in a 22W. Though tight in my hips still its way loose at my waist. Hopefully in another 20 lbs I'll be able to go down another size.

Trivium

Using waist training corsets are ok if you stick to a healthy natural waist size otherwise over time and with continued use you can cause your internal organs to move out of proper position. Waist slimmers are alot cheaper and do not actually change your shape but rather instead create a smoother shape that can enhance…

Glassofroses : yes, I have had therapy to help strengthen my ankle but due to my Marfans I am always at a disadvantage. Easy to injure... Hard to heal. Same goes for new muscle growth. It can be frustrating for sure. But hey... No pain this morning! I can get my walk on today with my brace for stability for a few more…

My dog laping up water from her bowl

Over the course of my life I have sprained my left ankle 3 times my right ankle 5 times my right knee once and my left knee 3 times. I've also torn my left rotator cuff... To put it bluntly.... I'm clumsy. And no its not MS its Marfan Syndrome. :)

The doctor isn't going to do anything I'm not already doing. I have repeated ankle sprains so I know the drill... Is it why I'm wearing my braces today. While I do have a minute amount of swelling... It's not really more than just normal everyday swelling As for "other" exercises... I'm limited... Walking around the town…

I did quote... But my "unquoted" messages were truncated. There must be a buffer length set that I went over. Again my apologies for the confusion. I didn't know the quotes nor half of the message was missing until the person commented the confusion. I only meant to leave the thread because I realised I hijacked it and…

Lemurcat12: My apologies... I'm out. Sorry for the confusion. I was replying to those who quoted me. I'll leave.

Try2again: Well no once I get where I want... 155 to 160 lbs I'll increase to 1300 to 1400 and then start increasing my exercise amounts. Right now I don't have time to do more than my 4 to 5 mile walks.

Lemurcat: Actually I am eating MORE than I was when I was following Naturally Slim lifestyle plan of eating that my employer put me on. While I do still follow several of the criteria for a NS person I don't follow them all anymore. I don't do the H2OJ or not eat bfast. Or necessarily keep my portions the size of my fist.…

Yes I need ppl to hold me accountable for the days I "hurt to bad" to get my walk in... Like yesterday. And to keep me off sugar Island.

Well obviously I don't have any... So instead of will power I'm using discipline. I will not allow myself to waste calories on sugary "treats"... And I will walk my 5 miles every day despite the weather... Despite my ankles hurting and despite my leg hurting from falling Saturday. I am beyond determined to be successful…

Because I am a sugar addict I cannot stop at just one or two and who really wants 800 (2 brownies) worth of calories that will leave them still hungry a couple hours later? I'm learning to stay away from sugar island and enjoy staying full longer with my 120 calories of chicken, 80 calories of potatoes, and 20 calories of…

I think I might be able to do 1/2 of 1...but may need help getting up after it. LoL I've watched them done correctly and wow yall that can do those and correctly amaze me. And those I've seen so them incorrectly scare me.
