eagle Happy Anniversary!!! It sounds like you had a ton of improvement going from the 170's to 130's, thank you for sharing that, it is really encouraging for me!!

ophelia I ended up doing a 23 hour fast prior to Thanksgiving and then I am in the middle of 24 hour fast that will end around 5 this afternoon. Yesterday was extremely easy for me, but I did end up eating way too much of the meal plus way too much desert, and paid the price on the scale today! That is awesome that you were able to enjoy your daughter's bday dinner and desert AND see a drop on the scale!!

Saw a predictable jump in weight this morning, unsurprising considering that I had bread, sweets and more calories than I probably eat in 3 days under normal circumstances. I expect the weight will drop off in a few days if I behave myself.

kfunk: I hope your fasts help even things out! :crossed:

EagleRiverDee: I agree...I bet it will come right back off once the heavy meal processes in your body. :yes:

--------------------------------------

Weigh-in was back up to 223.6 today...and, that's just fine by me. I was expecting more of a gain, so I am actually pleasantly surprised, lol. (Especially with TOM starting late last night.) I ate everything I wanted, just in slightly smaller portions and without going back for seconds and thirds like I have done in the past. :lol: I was also able to get in a 3 mile walk later in the evening, which I think helped as well.

eagle I hope it drops off quickly this week for you!

ophelia wow! your numbers are super impressive considering Thanksgiving just passed and you are on your TOM!! Great job on controlling your portions and then taking a walk after!!

kelijpa Congrats on staying below your goal after Thanksgiving!!

Last night I got lucky and we ordered in for my mother in laws birthday dinner, and I was able to bring some food from home and avoid the pizza all together. We are going on a road trip out of town and staying overnight. I am nervous about eating on the road. I think I am going to do a fast until we stop for dinner and then I will eat breakfast at the hotel if it has healthy options and then eat a light dinner when we get back home. Hopefully that will balance things out. So far the one meal per day with IF has been shockingly easy for me!

kfunk: I'm glad that the extended IF has been working out so well for you! I may go ahead and give it a try soon, as well. And, good job planning ahead to avoid the pizza to help balance out the road trip eating...I think you have a good game plan in place to circumnavigate the unhealthy travel options! I hope the hotel has some healthy choices to choose from come breakfast time. :hun:

EagleRiverDee: Nice recovery! You're coming back down quickly. :yes:

--------------------------------------

Weigh-in was 222.8 today...so close to getting back to where I was before the move. I hope to hit that point in the next couple days. Also, my husband actually came out on my walk with me tonight! That's the first time since we moved here...and, he said he needs to start coming with me more often - at least a couple times a week - so, we will see what happens with that. It was nice to have him out there with me. :)

Hello, new here...

I've never been part of an online weight loss forum, but at this point in my nutrition journey I'm looking to share my journey and learn about others'. I

To begin, it has taken me almost all of 2017 to lose 10 pounds! Like most of my journey, this year has been up down and all around. However, this year I took a different approach. Instead of seeing my inconsistency as mere lack of self-control, I dug to the root of my inconsistency and realized it was a set of bad habits birthed from stress. I have been an emotional eater for years and it's risen to dangerous heights in the last two years.

I am 5'5" and hit an all time high of 158 pounds last year :o
A healthy weight for my height is 135, although I am more comfortable with 140 for my body type, especially since I lift weights. Nevertheless, this year has been the year of retraining myself in my relationship with food, my body, and my mind. It has been the hardest thing I've ever done... That is why when I think about these 8 pounds that I've lost (4 of which were lost THIS month), I'm extremely proud bc I know the work it has taken this year to slowly wean myself off bad habits and transfer to new ones. I'm currently in the transfer stage. I've trained myself off bad eating and stress management habits at about 80%. Meaning, more often than not, now, I am responding to stress in a healthy way. This means less sugar and processed food; more working out and nutritional remedies. This past Thanksgiving week I indulged in a few desserts and comfort foods, but I made sure to get in some of my nutritional needs as well. One day I'll be able to go on holiday or make it through the holiday season with a treat here and there and I look forward to it! But, for now, I'm enjoying the progress of my transition and I know that this method is helping me to build habits with longevity for a permanent change. Thanks for having me! P.S. Intermittent fasting and loosely tracking my macros has worked wonders for me in helping to maintain proper nutrition and discipline.

My goal weight is 140. I'm confident that in the 6 remaining weeks of this year I will meet at least 3-5 pounds of that goal. Could be more, but I'm focusing on nutritional and fitness consistency and healthy stress management. :carrot:

esjleigh,:wel3fc: and to this thread. It's nice to come to a place with such nice people. I like the accountability to a group of chicks that know what I'm going through. I love your thoughts of wanting to "build habits with longevity for a permanent change". :carrot: You've got this!

esjleigh: Welcome! :wave: You've made great strides in managing your coping methods and turning your relationship with food around...great work! We're glad to have you here with us so we can watch you achieve those goals...like workinglikeadog said, you've got this! :cheer3:
