Aww thanks. Ya getting old sucks. Especially that old metabolism slowing down.
But, since we are sober it should be easier 
I’m not freaking out yet. Maybe I’m just maintaining. Or maybe that holiday sugar weight is finally going away.
Ya we do it to ourselves. But if we’re not drinking we won’t let our inhibitions down. It’s easier to abstain.
We’ll figure it out.
Checking in before dinner.
Dog walk.
1/2 Quest power bar.
3 1/2 mile walk.
Big beautiful salad for lunch.
The wife is cooking dinner tonight. So I’ll be having a wonderful casserole. NO SECONDS.
Then treat myself with my thin single serving peppermint patty’s. 4 singles is actually a serving. 130 calories. I just eat 2 of them. 65 calories.
No other treats or snacks.
Good day.
You are very welcome. Getting old DOES suck and that whole metabolism slowing down can just, UGH! Everything is slowing down more than just 2 years ago, it just is so not right!
But yes, I agree since we are sober and not ingesting endless amounts of empty calories it should definitely be easier… no ifs, ands or buts about it! But you’re right, try not to freak out too! And with us not drinking its easier to say no to other types of foodie guilty pleasures.
You got this, I got this, we all got this. Just keep on doing what you’re doing, I will too and we will get to where we all want to be!

Got carrot my cake smoothie on 
this morning
Walked the dogs 45 minutes
Did Pilates reformer workout.
Eating only 2 of the 4 stuffed quahogs I defrosted.
Thought I’d have an apple but not really hungry anymore. I guess it’s best to stop.
Keeping track of the wins.
I don’t know if this is the place for me. I’m fairly new to the community. 120+ lbs overweight. Working on it, again. I’m in my late 40s and have been fighting Binge Eating Disorder for over 30 years. Currently on Day 32 and have lost 14 lbs, one day at a time. Congrats to all of you who are having success, and support & encouragement to anyone struggling today.
This is a good place if your looking for support in weight loss. I did join Noom last year and found it very help for my weigh loss. Lost 50 pounds. I’m just checking in so I maintain and not gain it all back.
There’s another thread you might be interested in as well.
Good luck.
See you around.
3lbs down this week 
can’t quite believe that but I’ll take it! So I’m back in my “zone” now, havent seen that number on the scale in over a year still a way to go yet before goal but I’m feeling more like my old self now and I even fit back in my old jeans (I knew it was a good idea to keep them… 
)
Soooooo…
22lbs down
20lbs more to go 
I finished my 30 day yoga challenge yesterday, just going to start a new one today because I’ve really been enjoying it… then by the time that’s finished the little one will hopefully be back at school so I can start going on long walks again.
When I get nearer to goal I’m going to start doing my weights again, dont want to end up “skinny fat” so they’ll need to be reintroduced but right now, I’m mostly concentrating on losing all these lbs.
Getting there slowly but surely
Congraaats !!! 
Thats amazing your doing a great job !

Breakfast i will fast cause why not a bit of fasting can only do good
Lunch ill have roast beef on whole wheat
Dinner ill have some hard boiled eggs
Lets gooo !!!
YAY! YAY! YAAAYY!! So VERY happy for you!! 3 lbs down is FANTASTIC!! You are doing wonderfully for sure!! You know I have yet to give yoga a honest try, I need to do that though. I am so not flexible that is just makes me hesitant to even give it a go. The funny thing is that I do know that it would help me become more flexible if I tried it. Go figure! I’ve been trying to concentrate on lots of cardio in hopes to drop the lbs and then eventually add in and explore other fitness things then. Like running… I wanted to lose at least 20 lbs before I start doing that instead of having everything kind of loose and jiggling… if you know what I mean?
Anyway, GREAT GREAT job!!! Keep up the AWESOME work and you will be to where you want to be in no time!!
I mostly started yoga to feel better mentally, I use it as a form of meditation but I knew it was good for my body too… then as I went further along and started getting stronger and more flexible, I started to enjoy how it made my body feel.
I love doing it in the morning, everything clicks/crunches 
in a good way though! I’m like a bowl of rice krispies but to think if I DIDN’T do it all those joints, my spine etc would just be left unclicked/popped but would need it without me knowing… hard to explain really. I just know my body needs it just as much as my mind needs that little break too.
I’m really glad I’ve found it now. I plan on doing it every day from now on, even if it’s only for 10 minutes. 
That’s great Jen. It’s such s as wonderful feeling to see the results on the scale. Enjoy it. Real happy for ya.
Checking in late morning.
Got my smoothie on and getting ready to walk the dogs.
Thats fantastic! I’ve only heard very positive things about yoga. I do a little meditating on my own from time to time,nothing too structured at the moment. Sometimes when I’m feeling frazzled I stop and do it so I can calm and re-center myself. It helps thats for sure.
Weight loss checking out.
Got my 3 1/2 miles in.
Sloppy pork Joe’s lunch about 900 cal.
Chicken curry about 900 cal.
And my 2 thin single serving York peppermint patty’s.
Feeling good. I hope weigh in is good tomorrow. I feel like I been working hard at not eating too much.
Weighing in @ 197.8
Lost a pound woohoo 
Got to maintain or just get a little more under.
That doesn’t mean I celebrate with food. 
Have a great weekend folks.
I have Lupus, RA and Sjögren’s syndrome I’ve been on steroids for the past 6 months because all the medications I got put on made me sick sick. Two weeks ago I started weekly Enbrel injections so I can now stop taking the steroids which made me gain tons of weight. I was at 176lbs and I am now over 200lbs. 
I started back at the gym yesterday and will be dieting as well. I was on keto before and that was the only diet that actually helped me lose weight all the others I failed at miserably. Today was rough though I wanted to eat every carb in sight lol but it will get easier. I love all the avenues this wonderful app has to chat it up about basically everything.
Checking out.
Had my 2 leftover stuffed clams and a salad for lunch. I had some leftover lettuce but nothing to put with it. Chopped an apple and sprinkled it with pistachio nuts. I use pistachio nuts instead of croutons. And my lemon garlic Dijon vinaigrette. It was really good.
Dinner. 3 black bean enchiladas with red sauce and pico.
At my 2 thin single peppermint patties. Wish they had an emoji for that
No treats no snack. No bites of the wife’s plate.
