Back on track
I hope!! I had reached my GW a while ago: 155. Then got anxiety and lost more weight not on purpose (awkward when that’s complimented), got on Lexapro, anxiety improved, but weight went up. Hit 165. Today weighed in at 161. Short term goal is 160, but I’d love to get back down to 155. Seems like such small amounts of…

Stalemate
Started in August at 195. Today’s weight: 174.4. Same weight for about 3-4weeks now, so I’m maintaining and that’s good. But I’d like to get to goal weight of 165. What are my barriers? Birthday tomorrow, supper out Saturday. All inclusive holiday at end of January (Mexico). Also severely cold weather, as low as minus 40…

Triggers
I noticed today when I was faced with a challenge at work that my first thought was that I needed a snack while I did it. Stress and snacks go so well together. But I didn’t have a snack, and I survived. A lot of times when I feel a snacking urge (but not real hunger) I reach for my super cold (sometimes flavoured) water.…

Restarting!!
Joined August 2019. Lost about 11 pounds. But my logging got sketchy...couple of thanksgiving meals...then yesterday I fully fell off the wagon. So today I’m back. It’s not going to be easy. Starting with a bunch of water. Not going to weigh myself until Monday, hopefully I have not undone my progress. I am about 4 pounds…

Fine first week
Finished my first week. Started at 195 and weighed in at 192.4. Was hoping for a bit more loss, but I’ll take it. I had a short term goal of losing 10 pounds in first 3 weeks but I have adjusted that to 7. So 4.4 pounds to lose in the next 2 weeks!!! This is not easy, but I’m keeping at it. Actually there are moments where…

Weigh ins
I’m on week 2 and have Bad habit of weighing myself daily. Today it bit me in the butt as the scale shows a 2 pound weight gain from yesterday, with no explanation.I should really just weigh in on Monday AMs which was my original plan!! I just find any tiny loss is a big motivator for me. How often do others weigh…

This happens once a year and I want to enjoy some food there BUT I’m on my very first week here and have been doing well and don’t want to undo my work. I’m going to try to choose a meal at the Ex that’s not too dreadful in calories....and my…

New
Brand new here!! I’ve been fairly comfortable being overweight, but I recently gained ten pounds and I’m feeling it. I’d like to lose about 20 pounds, 30 at most. Not looking to be thin, as I find it too hard to maintain. It’s been a long time since I purposefully lost weight so I’m quite worried that it will be…
