Awesome! That completely counts! Nice that you are moving to Oakland. I sent you a message and hoping we can connect more as friends and work towards Goals together.

Fantastic! Nice to meet someone else in the Bay Area! I sent you a friend request and a message. Anyone else?

Hi Everyone! I have been missing daily reflections because I have had a lot to deal with. I have been working on studying for an exam I had yesterday (I am working on adding certification to my current teaching license) and helping my husband with things regarding his work. Sometimes things feel like an emotional juggling…

@wikkidwanda - Great to hear you are doing well. I have been weighing myself everyday and I stress about it less. It is just something I do now when I get up. Interesting how different things work for different people. There are so many beautiful fruits in season! Great to take advantage of all the fresh options. If you…

Hi Elena! Great to hear from you. Are you saying you can't eat a lot of protein and that you need to reduce your consumption of protein? The conundrum being that you are still hungry after you have had your meals because of your new diet. First off, let me say I am not a doctor nor a nutritionist so if you diet is…

Did really well today in terms of being significantly under my calorie goal but not feeling like I was off with measuring my calories or like I was holding myself back in anyway. I still need to find a way to work exercise into my morning. I wanted crab for dinner so I worked that in! I have been studying for a test I have…

Rock on! Glad to hear your week is going better and like that you are helping evaluate when things don't seem right. I love cheese too! Good luck on the weigh-in

Bianca ( @Purplebee89 )! So nice to hear from you. How fantastic to have come so far on your journey. Congrats on being so close to weighing under 200lbs--that must feel awesome. I am 32 and live in the San Francisco area. My husband has been a great support too--though I do the cooking (he he). For me, I am 32 and moved…

@jamesgent76 Nice to meet you and welcome for the group! Your goals sound wonderful! Do you know which half-marathon you want to run or is that still something you get to choose? Support is a wonderful thing and I agree, the support is so very helpful. Feel free to add me if you like.

Hi everyone! Sunday night means the start to a brand new week tomorrow. I am kinda looking forward to it. Today my stomach was feeling a little wonky. I made healthy choices with my eating today, I think my body is just adjusting to my new rhythm. I heard that a real "detox" is just eating good food and making healthy…

Good morning everyone! I Hope everyone had a great fourth of July. I stayed under my calorie goal but within healthy limits. I grilled some hamburgers for my husband and myself. Planning at the start of my day or while I am shopping has been a great help. I got a little bit overwhelmed yesterday. I have some really high…

Hi Everyone! Today I did quite well again. I am learning how to budget my desires with the calorie limit I set for myself. A balance of give and take so I feel satisfied but am still making my goals. For example, I wanted salmon ravioli with dinner so I budgeted out how I would do it. With the right planning, and my…

Hi @jharden12 ! Nice to meet you! I too have been working on getting back on track! Finding people who can be a ring of support is something I hope will help me. Just keep on the path to getting back on track and you will get there soon! Have you been drinking enough water? Part of getting on track today is I made sure I…

@wikkidwanda - I know how stressful things with numbers can be! For me it is tracking the right number of calories. I get stressed when I can track a certain food or dish. I am learning to let go when I can't track certain things along the way. I need to remember tracking calories is not my goal, it just helps me get to…

Hi all! My first time in this group and this is my first post here. I am 33 years old and currently living near San Francisco, CA. My husband and I moved here last year from Japan. I was living there for 9 years and he was living there all his life. Three years ago we got married in New York (where I was born and most of…
