Just back from South America. Glad I was able to still post a small loss. Hopefully a little more once the travel water weight comes off. I always get swollen ankles when I fly.

I use an app to track food and exercise. It claims I can reach goal by Dec 15. I'm kind of skeptical about the timeline but I do feel it helps to keep me accountable and on track. I count my exercise as bonus and do not factor it into my daily calorie counts.

How is Everyone doing? I lost 7 LBS for the month of August. I don't think I will reach my GW for the Year, but will do the best I can. Good Luck, Everyone!


AUGUST

SW: 194.2
CW: 187.2 (- 7)
GW: 184.2

I'm picking away slow and steady (ish). To be on schedule to reach my end of year goal, I need to be under 176 by end of September. I'm at 176.8 today. So I should make it. Then I just need a little less than 3 pounds a month to make it. If I don't get there, I'll be close. I'm not fast, but I still haven't had a month with a gain (lots of weeks with a gain, but no months overall), so I feel like I'm doing well.

Lacerta, how hard is that for you to control yourself against the fridge and endless appetite?..

I'm not depriving myself of anything, if that's what you are asking. But my fridge and pantry are stocked with a lot healthier alternatives now, so if I'm feeling snacky, I choose healthier things to snack on. Some days, I'm especially peckish, and I end up eating more than intended, but because they are healthy options, I basically end up maintaining during those times, rather than gaining. And that's ok. I don't really have an "endless appetite", I'm hungry at mealtimes and so I eat, and sometimes I'm a little hungry between meals, so I have a snack (or don't and just wait for the next meal). Your comment sort of makes it sound like I'm depriving myself of everything good and constantly having to fight impulses. That just isn't the case. I had some chocolate already this morning. You can still have small amounts of "bad" things that taste good as part of a healthy way of eating. In fact, that's the only way I think I could ever succeed in the long run.

I will say that hormones are a big part of that. I have PCOS and hypothyroid and before I got those figured out, it was much harder to fight the cravings, which were constant and overwhelming. But once I got the wacky hormones treated and balanced, it got a lot easier.

Hi I hope it's not to late for me to jump on in!!
