For me, I’m just a person who enjoys big meals. That’s it. It’s easier for me to allow myself to eat one big meal rather than 3 smaller meals. The main benefit I’ve seen is weight loss (because I’m eating less calories). The downside is that I do get hungry during the day. I do occasionally eat 2 or even 3 meals on the…

Well, it’s official.....there’s something wrong with my scale. :s I was 191.2 yesterday morning and 186.8 this morning. Ugh. So definitely not correct.

I guess it is possible that it could have something to do with water. I don’t drink as much on the weekends as I do through the week. I drink a lot of water at work. And we normally eat out once or twice during the weekend. But that’s what I’ve been doing this whole time and I was losing just fine. So I’m not sure what’s…

I’m up to 193.0 this morning. I’m telling myself that it has to be something weird going on but I just don’t know. I did eat a small lunch Saturday and Sunday but didn’t go crazy or anything.

I’m not going to give up but I still feel really angry about it.

I’m really irritated right now. I think maybe my weight on the 20th (187.4) wasn’t correct. I hadn’t been weighing myself several days before that day because I was on my period and my weight always goes up when I’m on my period. I also had a really big cheat weekend right before the 20th. We took the kids out to eat a big…

Welcome! Great job so far! :) I have 3 cats myself. I say I’m not a cat person but somehow we just can’t seem to stop acquiring them. :D

Still chugging along. Been busy busy. School is in full swing for my kids and I started full time last week. I really hope it helps my weight loss because I have NOT been doing well. I’m down to 187.4 this morning which means that I’ve lost a little over 3 lbs in the last 30 DAYS. Ugh. It’s my own fault because I’m letting…

I weigh myself all through the week so I don’t have an actual weigh day. It’s all over the place. :D (6/10/20) - 213.8 (7/10/20)- 201.2 (8/3/20)- 195.8 (8/17/20)- 193.4 (8/27/20)- 190.4 (9/4/20)- 189.2 Labor Day Goal - 189.2 I actually forgot all about this post until I weighed this morning and saw 189.2 and thought “why…

Still going but slowly. I’ve been under a lot of stress and anxiety. My step dad had covid and had to be rushed to the ER because he couldn’t breathe. He’s ok now but it was rough because he got a blood clot in his lung and things were scary for a little bit. He’s back home and recovering. And my kids started school at the…

Wow! Good job. I keep thinking about doing a longer fast but I’m just not sure about it. I really look forward to my meals. Lol.

I’ve been thinking about getting an air fryer. I have a convection oven though and I think they are basically the same thing but I don’t really know. Glad you had a good weekend!

You definitely want to treat for the fleas ASAP. We are currently dealing with a flea problem here because our normal flea treatment stopped working and then the new thing we tried didn’t work AT ALL. Our neighborhood has fleas pretty bad because of our neighbor’s cats that they keep letting have kittens and roam around.…

I’ve been doing really good the last couple days and I’m coming off my period so things are looking up! 191.0 this morning. :) Last night we went to the school to meet our youngest son’s PreK teacher and drop off his stuff. Today we are going to the middle school for a quick tour and to drop off my oldest son’s supplies.…

My weight is not coming off very fast at all. Yesterday I was 193.4 so only a tiny bit down. Ugh.

We were actually wondering if we could just buy our own chrome book for him to use but I don’t think we can. I might ask when we go up there later this week to drop off his supplies.

Yes. :( I’m not happy with it but there’s not much I can do about it. That’s why everything is so last minute because they weren’t telling us what was happening until last week. So now suddenly I have a ton of school supplies to buy! And my oldest is starting middle school and this is all new to us. Fees for chrome books…

I took a break from the treadmill yesterday...and my weight finally went down a little bit. Just a tiny bit but I’m at 193.8 this morning. Which also means that I’ve officially lost 20 lbs since I started. :) I’m due to start my period in a few days so I might take a break from weighing. I don’t know. It’s addictive. I…

I feel like I’m not doing good suddenly and it’s frustrating. I’m sure it’s my own fault because I haven’t been consistent about calorie counting but I mean, come on...I’m eating one meal a day. And I’m not going crazy with it either so I seriously doubt I’m going over my calories. Regardless, I did make sure to schedule…

Finally broke out of the 195s this morning and weighed 194.4 so hopefully it’ll keep going down for a bit until I get stuck somewhere else. :p I am so proud of myself right now. I’ve been asking my husband to please move the old treadmill out into the family room so that I can start using it again. I haven’t used it in…

I seem to be a little stuck right now at 195ish. Went from 195.8 to 195.6 to 195.4 and back to 195.8 this morning. Ugh. I know it’ll keep moving down eventually.

I forgot all about this! (6/10/20) - 213.8 (7/10/20)- 201.2 (8/3/20)- 195.8 Labor Day Goal - 189.2

My husband’s weight does this big time. Like 10 lbs up and down. It’s very frustrating for him. He has been weighing on Monday mornings but he’s going to try weighing on Friday mornings for awhile to see if it changes. We do eat out a lot on the weekends.

I’ve been doing mostly OMAD since June 12 and I’ve lost 18 lbs. I’m only doing it for weight loss so the benefit for me is that it restricts my calories while still allowing me to have a big, filling meal. It’s been working pretty good for me.

Ate lunch today because we had a picnic at the veterans cemetery where my father in law is buried. Every few months we try to go up there for a picnic and visit. It’s a pretty area and has a nice walking trail around a small pond. It was a very pretty day. So I ate a smaller than normal dinner tonight. I haven’t really…

Still alive. Weekend has been good but not great food wise. Not BAD but not great. We always eat out on the weekends so it’s never perfect but my husband and I have such different priorities when it comes to dieting. It makes weekends hard sometimes. Like this weekend we had a little date night and he wanted to get a…

I am so sorry that this happened to your family. Thank goodness he’s ok and recovering. It happened to us many years ago so I understand the fear and guilt.

Thanks. And I know 17 lbs isn't really a huge amount compared to other people here and compared to what I still have to lose...but I only decided to lose weight on 6/10 (and started OMAD on 6/12) so 17 lbs is a lot in that amount of time. If you would have told me 2 months ago that I was going to lose almost 20 lbs, I…

Look at the little orange feet sticking out!! So cute. I want an elliptical so bad. I joined a gym (and actually went) before I got pregnant with my 3rd baby and the elliptical was my favorite. I also want one of those exercise bikes they use in spin classes. I only did one class but I loved it even though I felt like…

196.8 I’ve lost exactly 17 lbs. That seems like a lot. I really need to focus on that number because it IS a good amount. I’m having a little bit of a problem feeling like I look the exact same as I did before I started. My clothing size hasn’t changed and I still look the same in the mirror. :/ My clothes might be fitting…
