Thanks.
Anything under 205 was going to be my goal. The food was great. And the portions were not American huge. It was great! And I never eat pastries for breakfast. But when I’m France 
And I’m back on the no sugar thing. Day 1.

Stuck at 187… I am walking more and felt like I am eating more or less but I need to tweak something t I’m the way I am doing things. I want to do more walking/running and get back into muscle strength as well but I feel like I was burning myself out… I had some food that is not what I would really be eating today for free at my work to treat myself because it is good to once in a while have something in moderation so you aren’t restricting yourself… I just am impatient bc I want the scale to keep going down but I bought a lot of fruits and vegetables today and protein. I am going to start back at it tomorrow… or let’s say keeep back at it because I never stopped and try to get my steps in, and muscle strength and maybe try to up my calories because they have been kind of low lately… under 1200 and I know when you do that your body starts to hang on to everything. My goal is to just focus on meeting my calorie intake with healthy foods, get my steps in 10,000 + I usually like being in the 15,000 range and do 30 minutes of muscle strength daily… I just don’t feel up to the muscle strength but I
Am going to push myself to do it. Anyway… fingers crossed . Check in later

Congrats I am happy for you! ((( @Astro ))) no way I would hate you for anything! Glad you are realizing it is best to not drink and also do something about the eating.
I have not been posting bc I have failed on the eating part. So I wont have TS tell me I could have combined my posts I will put it here.
My normal weight for long time has been 119-126, with it 122 most of last fall and this early spring then I gained 8 to 10 lbs. I am not sure why, Still struggling. Was 130 the last week, 129 today. And feel like I just need to eat less.
Keep posting. The accountability is so important. Be proud of your job! It has to be very demanding. Good luck with it all. The thing about intermittent fasting is you cant snack all night which is the downfall for most of us. Hugs xoxo

Kat here down to 190 (from last December 270) with the help of gastric sleeve surgery.
However I noticed a couple weeks ago my weight not dropping anymore and resolved to cut out jumbo freezies and McDonalds. That’s going well and I’ve been hitting the gym once a day when it’s open. Scale trending downward again.
Love to all
Kat

Finally arrived at 59.9 kg According to my Wii, it should be my ideal weight.
I’m looking forward to going to the gym again this autumn. It’s too hot now. I should swim more, though.
These are my absolutely favorite jeans, bought in 2004

Slowly creeping down there.
I have been eating a little outside of my new eating habits the last 2 days for comfort. I am gonna try to get some strength work out in today and some cardio.
Just really trying to get in the 170’s. I am 17 pounds from my “ideal weight” although it is 20 pounds above my normal weight (145) I’m shooting for 165. I am able to do this, I know I can!!! One step at a time. I will reach my goal

I’m going to be honest here. I’m feeling so very defeated with my weight loss. I went to my weight loss clinic appt and it didn’t go as planned. Very cold and extremely based on keto which I expressed my concerns over as I have done keto in the past and felt my body rejecting itself for weeks. I mentioned about other issues affecting my weight loss goals and she just nodded her head and didn’t comment on anything other than handing me a business card that stated monthly prices for the help I could receive. I also told her about our financial situation etc amd was very open about how Im struggling with my weight loss goals. I never ever used to struggle with my weight.
8 years ago I was the fittest I had ever been! Mind u it wasn’t exactly healthy in its own sense bcuz I would completely overdo it in the gym and at times cause injury to myself to get that feeling of a “good” workout in my mind.
It’s like everything is the complete opposite now. I’m not going to my grave with severe health conditions etc. Health stuff runs in my family. I want to be healthy. I don’t even have to get back to where I used to be (pre baby and everything). I just want to feel strong and energetic and full of life and like I have control over my eating and my weight. I’m getting so defeated and every day I wake up with a new fresh mindset. And then at times it goes downhill. I try to be consistant with my workouts at least. I can’t afford a dietician or anything like that. Money is pretty budgeted to everything we need to survive and be happy. So I need to be doing my own research.
Does anyone have any good websites or anything?
Thanks for letting me vent hugs

I can only speak from experience what I did this last year to lose the weight I had gained from recovery, medications and just not taking care of myself. I had stopped all other addictions… smoking and caffeine. I would try to restrict my food and up caffeine or just smoke away food cravings and end up restricting/bingeing. I thought less than 700 calories a day was healthy and drinking a shit ton of diet pop
And coffee with creamer and fake sugar. I cut out the pop and juices and coffee. Went to water, bubbly water and zero Gatorade and my all time favorite decaffeinated tea. I was trying to do hiit workouts but it just wasn’t doing it for me but I just started to tweak my eating . I had tried Keto and saw no results and couldn’t maintain it. Through trial and error, I ended up getting a nutritionist who had been a good mental and emotional guide on my weight loss journey. She gave me some good ideas on healthy things to eat and helped me w food patterns but I was sick
And tired and only lost 7 pounds and I ended up joining Noom. Noom isn’t what helped me lose weight, but it gave me a lot of tools to hold me accountable and see my progress and where it was good and where it was lacking. Walking 10,000-12,000 steps 5 days a week is really something that hit it off for me. I got a job where I get a lot of steps I. And then I would walk home or to work and then go on walks afterwards. If you walk up to like 12,000 steps you have burned just walking about 7,000+ calories. I actually enjoyed it because I would talk to my higher power about what I was dealing with and worried about and ask Him to help me and also, I would pray a lot I. My mi d or out loud and talk about what I was grateful for out loud to my HP. And listening to uplifting motivating music. For me in recovery that is Christian hip-hop so Lecrae, Wande, Hulvey. It’s just positive energy and I know God is with me. Sooo I walked and continue walking and then I started just eating clean. Like a lot of produce, apples and peanut butter, yogurt, chicken and Turkey burgers a lot of vegetables and fruits that had high water content. Like the more water, the less calories the more you can eat and fill yourself up so cabbage, lettuce, grapes. Look up high caloric dense foods and those are foods you can eat a lot of… i ate a lot of meats that were more lean and just incorporated them with other things . I still eat carbs but healthy carbs. Brown rice which is actually high caloric density along with oatmeal or steel oats, quinoa, black beans are good too. Broccoli, cauliflower, I eat bread too but I eat keto bread even though I am not on keto. I learned that when you lose weight it is not a big change at once but a lot of changes to your habits that aren’t serving you anymore and tweaking them over time. If you start just cutting out caffeine and the sugary drinks / coffee with creamer etc and start walking more you will see a gradual change. Also, good sleep is very important for weight loss too… just be kind to yourself . You are doing alot for yourself and your body is working hard regardless if you are seeing weight changes. I am learning to be nicer to myself and I start saying “Flannery I am so proud of you you are so strong you killed that workout “ or just wit other situations . You are your own best friend … take care of yourself because you are important . Also, treat yourself once in awhile but in moderation. Do some self-care, eat a healthy desert . Want ice cream? Try some frozen yogurt with fruit or a fruit smoothie you have been wanting to try . Do not try to restrict yourself because that never works . 25% off diet the rest stay on track but it’s fine to go out to eat like 2 times a month and get what you want to get , I would suggest to make healthy modifications like if you want fries , get sweet potato fries . Or eat half of your meal and save the other half for a different day. I know you can do this!! I am rooting for you
