Well, not sure how much of this last gain was water weight, but I guess we'll find out in November. At least the overall month came out to a drop. 5'1"F HW: 261.0 October Start Weight: 238.9 October Goal Weight: 233.9 Ultimate Goal Weight: 132.0 Dropped weight so far: 23.3 October 1: 238.9 October 8: 237.9 October 15:…

My lunch today (Vanilla bean ice cream, Walden Farms zero calorie caramel, 24 g sea salt dark chocolate)

@mtaratoot This is the best biscuit combo I've ever had... best hollandaise too I'd eat 5 of these a day if there weren't calories... tasty little calorie bomb!

Was practicing at maintenance this last week. Pleased with a consistent result. 5'1"F HW: 261.0 October Start Weight: 238.9 October Goal Weight: 233.9 Ultimate Goal Weight: 132.0 Dropped weight so far: 23.1 October 1: 238.9 October 8: 237.9 October 15: 237.8 October 22: October 29: October 31:

Needed to bring the seat in my car forward a bit and tighten my jeans belt by a notch!

Not at goal, but considering the month I had, it was a good outcome. 5'1"F HW: 261.0 September Start Weight: 243.7 September Goal Weight: 234.3 Ultimate Goal Weight: 132.0 Dropped weight so far: 21.7 September 1: 243.7 September 3: 244 6 September 10: 244.5 September 17: 242.9 September 24: 242.6 September 30: 239.3

So I won't be making it anywhere near my goal, but at least I have a net loss. Hoping to shave a bit more off by the 30th. 5'1"F HW: 261.0 September Start Weight: 243.7 September Goal Weight: 234.3 Ultimate Goal Weight: 132.0 Dropped weight so far: 18.4 September 1: 243.7 September 3: 244 6 September 10: 244.5 September…

Shirts are feeling looser, and had to move the drivers seat forward a bit to have a solid control base for the pedals in my car.

Today's grocery store run netted some tasty results

Gotta keep on trucking. 5'1"F HW: 261.0 September Start Weight: 243.7 September Goal Weight: 234.3 Ultimate Goal Weight: 132.0 Dropped weight so far: 18.1 September 1: 243.7 September 3: 244 6 September 10: 244.5 September 17: 242.9 September 24: September 30:

Took pictures of breakfast and supper today. Breakfast was a few potatoes loaded with scrambled eggs, red butte hatch cheese, bacon bits, Greek yogurt, jalapeños, and after the pic I added some cholula hot sauce. Supper was a turkey burger served in romaine with red butte hatch cheese, tomato, jalapeños, and sweet relish.…

I'm not sure what I would call goat-y, as this was my first foray into anything goat related. It was ...tangy, I suppose? Just a really strong twist to what I'd come to expect with the few fancy cheeses I've tried. Truffled gouda, huh? I'd try that. Though I think I'd try it in some sort of baked/cooked format. I once made…

Not as fancy as the above, but here's tonight's dinner and dessert. Dinner was a small pork chop, green beans, and a couple small potatoes topped with bits of Beehive red butte hatch cheese. I highly recommend this cheese. Dessert was a split banana, several split strawberries, and homemade vanilla bean ice cream.

Tried the cremont last Thursday and the fontina today. I couldn't bring myself to like the cremont. Maybe it was because it is partially goat's milk? Not sure, but oh well... never know unless you try. The fontina cheese was a win today. Since I read that it is most often served melted/combined with other ingredients, I…

So I forgot to check in to the group page to get the new monthly discussion thread... lol oops. Sounds like you are both having a busy month. How the allergies are calming down where you're at @KateNkognito . They've been especially bad around here lately. Hope your Friday working from home was a great one @Meghan509 .…

So I seem to be experiencing my first plateau. All the more frustrating to be experiencing it so soon into my journey. I know that I've been eating at an overall deficit though, so I know I need to keep the faith that the scale will go downwards eventually. Hopefully that will be soon. Kitchen adventures since I last…

I've been eating at a deficit... know I need to keep the faith that the scale will eventually move, but good grief is it ever frustrating. 5'1"F HW: 261.0 September Start Weight: 243.7 September Goal Weight: 234.3 Ultimate Goal Weight: 132.0 Dropped weight so far: 16.5 September 1: 243.7 September 3: 244 6 September 10:…

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert... fruit optional

...I might have a bit of a cheese problem lol.

This great thread needs some more time in the sun... Bumpity bump bump!

Yep. It isn't a walk in the park by any means. Remember there will be good days and bad days, and maybe even some oh-so-ugly days thrown in... but trying to build better/smarter habits while wading through the muck means it'll be that much easier on the good days. I find that pre-planning and keeping the next few days'…
