Poppycat- I can’t handle 5 bites of pizza either at this point. It’s my favorite food. It’s awesome you are speaking up about what you need.

I have had a great day so far – 5 bites of leftovers at 3ish and then I am planning on 2 bites of steak and 3 bites of jalapeño popper at 7ish.

Yes I completely agree with that!!

Glad to hear how it’s getting easier after a week!! We’ve got this weekend under control!

Yes I am in! This will be my first good weekend in probably years! I’m feeling hungry but I feel mentally strong today and am not going to let the hunger get to me.

Yes let’s do it! I feel unstoppable today!!

Thanks for the encouragement!! After 3 awesome days, I feel very strong today. I’m going to keep checking in though throughout the day just to keep my mind focused here.

I had a good NSV yesterday: I was able to wear my wedding ring again. My fingers had been too bloated before!

The weekend is coming…I’m scared!  I haven’t stuck to any diet over the weekend in…years?  Before today is done, I’m going to write out my plan for the weekend and how I’m going to handle any eating situation that might come up.  I want to go into next Monday feeling like I conquered the world.  And hungry – I want to go into next Monday fee…[Read more]

Poppy – your husband sounds a lot like mine.  I have been telling him here and there this week about what I’m doing, and that I’ve joined an online group and will be doing zooms on Monday nights with the group.  He’s supportive, but I think there will be a time when he will have to read the book for himself to truly understand it.

My stomach g…[Read more]

Awesome!! I am glad you posted the bar challenge – it’s been good for me as well.

I am feeling ravenous today, and the coworkers ordered food that smells amazing…. how rude lol

They will all be jealous of my Snickers later.

You are doing amazing!!  Nothing can stop you now!

Day 2 challengers!!!  Keep it going strong!!

Good morning!

It was a struggle to stay off the scale this morning after a perfect day yesterday, but I want to FEEL the weight loss before I step on the scale next Wednesday.  Too many times I let that number mess with my head, good or bad.

My husband asked me last night what I had for supper, so I told him a Snickers bar.  We have very d…[Read more]

I have no doubt you’ll succeed with your goal by Christmas – you are very strong mentally.  (I’ve been here on and off over the years and have read your journals!)  I’m so sorry it’s been a rough year – I think we would all like to scrap 2020 for many reasons.

My day 1 is done as well! Perfect 2 bar day – it’s going to be hard not to weigh in tomorrow.

Great loss – keep sprinting to that finish line!

Thanks for stopping by my post – how wonderful to have such a large family!  I had always wanted a large family, but it was not in the cards for me.  I believe my weight kept me from getting pregnant, and I finally had IVF 8 years ago.  Now, I feel like I can only handle the one child, and she cl…[Read more]

This is cool to have someone here who is close to my stats at the same age!!  I am excited to watch your journey!!

Thanks for the welcome Rachel and Gayle!  I am excited to be back.  I do plan on joining in on Monday chats, but I will probably be late as it starts right at my daughter’s bedtime, and we read before bed.

I weighed in this morning at 196.8, which I am kind of surprised about.  I expected to be over 200 with all of the bloat I’ve been fe…[Read more]

So excited to get this kicked off today!  I am going to drink water until 1 or 2pm, then Snickers, and then another Snickers at 6pm.  I am not a late night snacker, so I “should” be okay after that.  The afternoon will be the hardest.  I’m going to head to the grocery store about noon and stock up on Snickers and black tea.  I will most like…[Read more]

I am just going to do 2 snickers tomorrow- I like them, but I don’t “love” them so it’s easy to not overeat on them. I’m excited to get back on it!!
