Oops and I forgot to add, try to spread calcium throughout the day, instead of all in one meal. It’s not bad all at once, but our bodies only absorb about 500mg at a time… so for folks who, for example take 1000mg of calcium supplement at one time, you aren’t absorbing it all so it’s a bit of a waste

Checking in. Had a morning smoothie.
Lunch
Dinner.
Most importantly no snacks no treats no chocolate 
. I do like my chocolate. It was tough today too because wifey bought some single serving size peppermint patties. I love peppermint patties. But I made it. Through the day.
I promised myself no treats. No snacks. No chocolate until I weigh myself and am under goal weight.
@Truckinmonster21 see you on the scales tomorrow trucker J. 
Maybe i can get that chocolate treat tomorrow.

Thank you 
Yes the soja yoghurt is fortified. The point is also I’m into menopause so I need a lot of calcium. And about spreading the intake I know

I allow myself to eat Chocolat ones a week, that helps me with my Chocolat cravings. I also bought small Bay leaf licorice. Almost no calories and helping too.
Just 2 after dinner and bye bye to my Chocolat cravings

That’s great trucker J. That’s a huge success!
Please be careful though it does seem a little extreme. The weight loss. I think when I was rolling off the pounds in my weight loss journey last year it was also a little extreme. I almost didn’t know when to stop. Keep up the great work. But be careful. Love you man. Your such an inspiration. I can’t wait to weigh in today. I hope I like my numbers as much as you do.
