Sounds like you have yourself on track. Great work!

I have upped my water intake so much that I may as well move my isolation home office from the dining room table to the bathroom because I am wearing out a path on the floor, although that won't be great for Zoom calls! (Who saw that video on FB? LOL) ... Seriously, I think I can feel a difference in everything from…

I LOVE your honesty. That's how it's done. Staying accountable is a lot of the battle. Stay strong! We are all in this together.

I have been frustrated by this continuing yo-yo, gaining, losing the same few pounds. And then, only down by the tiniest amounts, like .2. Yesterday, I decided to go back to a basically keto-based diet. Not totally, but get rid of the things I crave: sugar, white flour and stick to things like berries for fruit, etc. stick…

I just got an Apple Watch and I am doing this, too! I am finding it really helpful to get and keep me moving!!!

As long as it’s going down it’s going in the right direction!! 👊

Great work! Rock on!

Great work! And champ is always nice!

Paz, that is fab and inspirational. Go for it! You are leading the way. I am not having great results but am changing my direction today and going a little more keto, a little more water and a little less vodka. Down .2 today. Not much but I'll take it. As long as it's going down it's the right direction. Yay for you!

Wow! Me, too. I will be watching this for ideas.

That’s the best attitude! Just pick up and start over. Great that you worked out. Hope today was good. I had a few days where I just couldn’t get out there and burn calories. But today was great out and I took a great walk. One day at a time!

So glad to hear! That’s a relief.

You can do it!!!!!

That sounds scary and stressful. Praying for you all. Positive thoughts. Hoping everyone is OK.

Sounds like your family took good care of you for Mother’s Day. You deserve it!

Nice work and good plan!

Happy Mother's Day to the moms of all kinds. My numbers for my first week are headed in the right direction. I had a 2.4 loss which dropped to a 1.8. by this morning. A little bummed but still a loss. Bodies are so weird. I had some pretzel sticks last night and I am sure that played a role. As I said in another group I am…

So sorry, gidday, for the loss of your mum. xxoo <3 That is the hardest loss in the world. Maybe something that might work is to turn it around and say that you are going to take this journey in honor of her. It might help you to get control of those feelings to eat (believe me I know what they are) and redirect them into…

Happy Mother's Day to the moms of all kinds. I am very thankful for this group. Here are my numbers for my first week. I'm surprised as I was all over the place. I think what is helping for me is cutting back on bread and pasta, my two great loves in life in the food world. I also tried a protein shake a couple of days at…

I do, too. It’s almost automatic. And I always regret it. I’m trying really hard not to do it. We will help each other. 👊

Yes! Heat blasting. Hopefully nice for good long walk tomorrow.

They are beautiful anyway! Can’t wait to get mine in the ground.

Hopefully quick! Weather here has been so odd that it’s hard to plan to plant veggies etc. do that they don’t freeze. Don’t feel motivated to get out and walk when it’s drink good and cold. Need to demotivate.

Last Saturday I was out in the yard, mowing, planting flowers and I had the doors of the barn open riding my exercise bike in the breeze. Today? The temp dropped to low 30s to 40s, it was snowing earlier. It's hard to recognize spring but I am really trying to stay up and keep with my program.

Yes, good for you to resist! I was in the same boat earlier in the week, gaining when I wanted to be losing even though I felt I was doing all the right things. Payoff today in being down.

I feel you Jenifergotti, and was ready to give up. That scale was halfway out the window. Why was I gaining when I was doing everything right. Then I just said %^$& it and kept doing the right things. It's been so cold here I don't want to go out to the barn where my exercise bike is. Yesterday I added a great protein…

That's good! I say that, too. Sometimes it works. I'm trying to say no to everything but veggies if I get weak.

I have started having all my meals on a pretty salad plate instead of a dinner plate, which helps me to cut down on the amount. I’m also trying to eat slower so that I actually have an inkling of if I’m full instead of just eating everything because it’s there.

I prefer weighing daily for just those reasons that if I see progress it will help with motivation to keep going, and the same with gaining. I had hypnosis several years ago where you weren’t allowed to get on a scale or know your weight but just went with how your body and clothes felt. It was interesting. I’m not…

After all my careful and smart eating under my calorie goal, great exercise and no alcohol I woke up to the exact same weight as yesterday. :-( ... Maybe I needed more water. I know a big part of this journey is patience and allowing my body to do its thing until it is ready to move downward so I decided not to get upset…
