Total Weight Loss--Where?
Where can I find the total weight lost so far? All I can find is the chart. The chart doesn't give totals. It's supposed to be on the HOME page, but it never shows. What is the trick to finding the total weight lost?

Stress Eating
My life has been a stress pit. My dog of 14 years died unexpectedly. It's is rush at work and I'm working 10-hour days where I don't have time to pee. My new meds have made me super constipated. I renovated my kitchen after 22 years back in September. I didn't have any water in the kitchen until Dec 27th. I should be happy…

Mini Goals: Hit Goal 1
If I thought about the total amount of weight I needed to lose, I'd get very unmotivated. I, instead, set mini-goals. I started at 263 pounds. I just hit my first goal. I'm finally under 240 pounds. My next goal is to get under 230 pounds. Then 220--and so on until I get to 180. When I get there, I'll reevaluate. If you…

End Weight Question
Hey, Not using BMI, how do I figure out a livable weight for myself? WHY NOT BMI FOR ME? The recommended MAX BMI weight for my height is miserable to me. I've lost this weight a few times over the last 30 years. I am 5FT 4IN tall. The BMI says my max weight is 145. But the 145 weight is miserable. Why is it miserable to…

So Good Dinner
Okay---my kitchen is non-functional. Renovation. I've been without a sink or countertops for almost 2 months. I've been keeping dinner simple. But today, I craved and craved my chicken/potato soup. I did end up making it in the instant pot in the middle of the guest room. Sigh. I said I wouldn't do it--as I have no where…

The bad weeks...
I'm not asking you to fix anything. But I am going to assume some of you struggle with more than food--just like me. You are not alone. I struggle with my mood regulation, ADHD, and anxiety/depression. I've been doing really well on my new meds. Really well. Recently, my doctor changed my meds slightly. My pharmacy changed…

Gifts of Chips
Hey, I'll be upfront. I love potato chips. They are my absolute favorite food. But they were killing me. I have no off switch with chips. I didn't want to make them a 'forbidden' food. So instead, I only eat them when I visit my mom. I only buy the small bag at the gas station and I pre-plan the calories. I eat them on the…

Vacation Blues
I just got back from vacation --visiting my brother and family out of state. I didn't have a lot of control over my food (they cooked), but I managed to stay in my points. I arrived home today and I've gained four pounds. Ugh. Some of it is water-weight from the excess salt and flying. I KNOW it is temporary, but it still…

Timelines and Goals
Why am I posting this? I wanted others to know that it's okay to choose a weight that isn't exactly what the weight chart says. Find your happy spot. I know my goal is ambitious. If things go well, which they probably won't, I should hit my goal on Tuesday August 27, 2024. My goal is to get down to 180 pounds by this date.…

Pizza for the Single Person
I'll be honest, I've done tortilla pizza, homemade pizza, and diet pizza. The tortilla pizza was okay, but not super filling. Homemade pizza with the thin pre-made Boboli pizza crust/turkey pepperoni/jalapenos is pretty good. But it has a lot separate pizza ingredients and the cost can sometimes be more than I want to…
