Two intentions I have for the new year: find another yoga studio I love nearby this new house and resume my monthly budgeting. No weight loss intentions since this is just my new life style, but I will keep on towards my goal of another 5-10 pound of loss in the next several months. To meet my new yoga goal - I have been…

phoebe112476 Tuesday Week 4 PW:155.8 CW: 156.4 Down from the last few days as things get back to normal after the holidays and travel. Finished December the same as I started it, which seems like a win after all the sickness and then the holidays. Finished 2019 35.5 pounds less than I started it. Yay! Heres to losing…

My daughter came home from hospital after 5 days. She is much better but will take a few more weeks to get back to her normal, I think. I laid in the parent "cot" next to her bed for the best part of 5 days. Sleeping off and on between the hospital staff visits and helping my daughter with her needs. I am certainly not…

My dinner last night. The hospital has a vending machine called Farm Fresh with yummy fresh salads in a jar. So thankful for this vending machine in this challenging place. My daughter is stable but not improving yet so we are likely here a few more days.

My daughter was admitted to the ICU with a bad pneumonia last night. I am staying at her side and won’t be able to weigh in tomorrow since I am not at home. Please excuse me this week. Amazed that as stressful as this has been I am following my eating routines and remembered to grab a bag full of my usual snacks before we…

Went out to get lunch at a pizza place yesterday. Ate my salad (yum) and planned half of the individual sized pizza, which would have been three pieces. It was so yummy. But I stopped after 2.5 pieces since I felt satisfied and didn’t want to be full. Took the rest (3.5 pieces) to work for lunch. Ate 2.5 pieces and it was…

Sick again the last few days. Ugh! I can’t remember a time when I have had so many viral infections back to back like this. But it has been awhile since I have had a little one in the house and my 5 yo has been sick each time too. Fevers to 103.5 for her, off school. Lots of PJ time. Weight down to 154.6 this morning, but…

Went to yoga tonight. Felt good to be back. Accidentally went to a yoga and wine class. I don’t drink wine and the my inner introvert is very opposed to chatting with strangers in yoga class. But I made the best of it. Ate right on target today being my first day back to logging after the holiday. Have a great night team.

I joined this team because I loved the idea of checking in with a relatively stable group who were on a similar journey. It keeps my head in the game, inspires me, motivates me, and gives me great ideas to add to my own routines. It has been so much more than I expected. I was a little thrown off my the competition part…

November review: - I was traveling for the holiday weekend and don't have an actual weight for the last day of November (something that bothers my type A mind - lol) but my total weight loss for the month using the last day I weighed in November was 5.9 pounds. The most I have lost in one month for quite a while. It was…

NSV - I was up climbing around the McDonald’s play structure with the kids yesterday. I hadn’t realized this is one of the things I stopped doing when I was obese. Oh, and don’t worry. We ate a great thanksgiving meal surrounded my family. This was just a stop off to stretch legs on the 6 hour drive.

I have never lost that much in a week after the first week I started weighing. I am sure that 160.2 last week was in error somehow, as I had said my weight had been steady around 158 for days before. But in any case, I have been sick AGAIN the last week and not eating as much/ hungry so I will see what next week brings. I…

phoebe112476 Tuesday Week 2? PW: 158.2 CW: 160.2 My weight has been 158.2 every day since last Tuesday and then today up two pounds. Not making much of it as I have been on my routines lately. Need to catch up on reading the posts. Have a great week team!

Your stomach will shrink and you will get more accustomed to eating less. One thing that I haven’t seen mentioned in this thread yet is volume eating. Some people eat foods that are low calorie and can eat large volumes to feel full. Search for volume eating and you will find threads with good suggestions if this might…

I have so few photos of myself, especially when I was obese. This exercise was quite eye opening for me. First of all - wow! I really didn’t notice how obese I was. Second - I still wear both the shorts in the before photo. I have been thinking the striped one was too big. Into the goodwil pile it will go today! My purple…

Went to update my drivers license with my “new” address (it has been about 6 months). They asked me to verify my info. Chuckled when I saw that my weight listed is 150. I am almost there! Will be the first time in many years that my weight matched what is listed on that lisence. Yay!

I am an almost 43 y/o adoptive mom of three teens with one foster daughter and three rescue dogs. I work full time in a high stress job that I mostly love and am privileged to have. Since puberty I have been overweight but not obese with a stable weight and largely health eating habits for 20+ years. Then I was married…

After two weeks of 160.0 and 160.2. In the 150’s today. Hard to know what tomorrow will be but hoping to be in the 150’s for weigh in.

Phoebe112476 Tuesday Week 2 PW: 160.0 CW: 160.2

My scale the last 5 mornings; 160.0 160.0 160.0 160.0 160.0 Ahhhh! Really hoping for the 150’s tomorrow but even 160.3 would be a welcome change at this point! Have a great Sunday team.
