I got this protein pancake mix from MyProtein and it’s 160 cals a portion, and really good for staying full! I’m finding it a good way to start the day and stay on track

I’ve spoken English as my first language all my life but there are some things I still don’t know. For example when I say to someone “Could I have just a very small slice please” it means the same as “Please give me the biggest slice you can and, while you’re about it, why not pour a gallon of cream on it?”

Checking in on day 6 of no binge-eating.
At the end of April 2017, I started this diet, by 1st July 2017 I’d lost 2.5stones, I then gave myself a week off for my bday, and have been loosing and regaining the same stone ever since. I was officially diagnosed with Binge-Eating Disorder on 30th September, and am now on the waiting list for therapy, but somehow I’ve managed to stick to the diet for 6 days now, and I’d cut down on take-aways (an addiction) for a week or two prior to that as well, I think I had 1 in the two weeks, compared to a take away or atleast loads of junk food like crisps, frozen pizza, sweets, and chocolate every day, as well as 1.5 litres of Coca-Cola.
I’m pleased to report I have lost exactly 1 stone 
I know it will come off more slowly now, but aiming to lose a stone per month for the next 7 months, and to definitely be in the healthy weight range for my height by my birthday next July. 
However, right now I am craving really bad, I even almost ordered a take away, but I’ve closed the webpage and had a sugar free boiled sweet instead. Seriously hoping I can fall asleep soon because I know I’ll feel good in the morning if I don’t cave, I’d also probably gain that stone back because of all the carbs I’d be eating as it’s pizza I’m craving. Hoping checking in will help.

Hey all. Thought I’d join in. A few weeks ago I thought I’d try Noom. For years I thought it looked ridiculous but the constant commercials the last few months made me decide to try it. I mean the guy tastes candy everyday and HE still lost weight!!
I’m actually enjoying it. I like the daily articles. I’m not keen on the personal coach and group stuff but I’m going to give it my best. I’m just not a huge “sharer “ with strangers.
Anyways, first 2 weeks and I e lost 4 pounds without ever feeling like I’m depriving myself.
I AM struggling to get in my activity but it’s getting better.

so I just wanted to let you guys know about a protein bar that I’m loving… You Know how most protein bars and chewy and dense and just not that enjoyable? Well these bars , protein crunch, are a game changer. There are so light and fluffy with a wayfer type texture and so enjoyable. They do have about 200 calories a bar give or take so it’s alot if you over consume them… In a 12 per box pack they arnt expensive, and there are a lot of yummy flavors… I like all the flavours. They are on alot of u.s websites… A nice treat when you feel like a treat.

Those bars look good @apes2020 I like the quest bars. But they are chewy and you need your good teeth for them 
. But I only eat half a bart at a time. One little way to cut calories. I’ve e been off Noom for a little over a month now @VSue and pretty proud of myself that I’ve maintained my goal weight for 5 months and 26 days now. I actually set up a counter on TS for the number of days I stay at goal weight or under. After you cancel Noom you still get your weight chart and you can still log your meals. I still say logging my meals has been the key to my weight loss and maintenance success. This week I’m taking a break from logging because maybe I’ve lost too much weight??? I don’t know. My goal weight loss was 40 pounds. I lost 45 pounds. Now I’m down 50 pounds. Yesterday’s weigh in I was down 51 pounds. I’m not starving myself or denying myself. I feel good. But wifey thinks I need to stop loosing. I agree but… I’ve always always gained back all my weight loss when I’ve done different kinds of diets. This time I’m determined not too.
Thanks for listening.
Keep logging. Stay sober.

I’ve lost 13 lbs since May, which I attribute to this sober journey (which also means less late night snacking) and going on more walks with the dog.

Thanks! I still want to lose more, but am not putting a number, time limit or goal in place at the moment. Moreso just trying to take each day as it comes, eat what I want (even if it isn’t the healthiest), pay attention to whether I’m hungry or not, etc. I’m struggling with anxiety pretty bad which really kicked up over the last 2 months. Sometimes I don’t have energy or focus to cook, so rely on prepackaged salads, eggs, frozen pizza, vegetable platters, frozen seasoned fish… Things where little to no prep is needed.

So…the subscription just gets you the coach and articles? Good to know. I always hated that after quit WW I would lose app access for tracking.
According to the weight loss graph I should reach goal weight before Christmas. But I know I lose more in the beginning so we’ll see even in the new year would be fine. I just want to be at goal next summer in time for shorts and beach trips. I hate feeling self conscious at the beach!!

Ya that’s right. I checked with my coach first. I didn’t care for the coach and group too much either because I was already on here and kind of liked TS groups better. I mean there was nothing wrong with them. And I did get some good questions answered when I had them. But I’m not coming up with
“new goals” every week. 
. Oh and you loose the recipes too. Which I never used anyway. I did it for 3 quarters. Barely used the group and coach for most of the second quarter. But once we figured out my daily calorie intake to maintain I figured I was good to go. And I like how the steps counter adjust your calorie intake accordingly too. I think I still got that.
Have fun at the beach

I did Weight Watchers before a couple of times. I guess it WW now for some reason. But I never stayed at my weight goal. I think not drinking helps a whole lot too. The useless extra calories and the lower inhibitions. Since I been sober I don’t think I’ve eaten a whole bag of Cheetos family size either. So that helps.

Yeah, the coach asking me what my goals and visions are is a bit cringe. LOL
