The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

WIW Posted by Beverly on 5/7/2025, 7:49 am How's it going?

For me… Posted by Cindy on 5/7/2025, 4:45 pm, in reply to "WIW" I was up .4 of a pound. Ugh. Still determined. I have to keep going!

I know it’s frustrating Posted by Cindyh on 5/9/2025, 12:06 am, in reply to "For me…" I went to the dr today and was up from yesterday. It’s always up and down

Cindy Posted by Beverly on 5/8/2025, 12:06 am, in reply to "For me…" It will be OK, sweetie. Drink lots of water and keep careful track of your food. You WILL get there.

Thank you sweet friend…. Posted by Cindy on 5/8/2025, 12:16 am, in reply to "Cindy" Love you!

Mine Posted by Cindyh on 5/7/2025, 1:53 pm, in reply to "WIW" Down 1.2. I drank a lot yesterday and ran to the bathroom a lot so I got a lot of fluid off. Ive been bouncing back and forth a few weeks now. Doing the same thing except Easter dinner. Frustrating

Down is down…. Posted by Cindy on 5/8/2025, 12:17 am, in reply to "Mine" You are doing great! Congratulations!

Cindyh Posted by Beverly on 5/8/2025, 12:09 am, in reply to "Mine" Down is good, for sure!!! I think you are right... water can be key. Carry on. It's good.

Down! Posted by Paula on 5/7/2025, 4:40 pm, in reply to "Mine" One thing about increasing my water intake is that I have to pee all the time!

Well Posted by Delta on 5/7/2025, 12:47 pm, in reply to "WIW" I have been down two since Thursday, but my SIL brought me a gourmet cookie yesterday, and today, I am exactly the same as last week, even to the tenth of an ounce. I thought about it later, and one bite of the cookie was great, but after that, it wasn't anything to write home about, so I don't know why I kept eating the thing.

I will always… Posted by Cindy on 5/8/2025, 12:20 am, in reply to "Well" Finish what I start. I can’t put a cookie down after 1 bite either. I bet you will see that scale move soon!

It's other stuff like water Posted by Paula on 5/7/2025, 4:42 pm, in reply to "Well" That poor cookie didn't do it alone. I'm glad you enjoyed some of.the cookie.

Higher carbs always Posted by delta on 5/7/2025, 8:41 pm, in reply to "It's other stuff like water " makes me hold water for a few days and I had already had my starch quota for the day.

Thats Posted by Cindyh on 5/7/2025, 1:54 pm, in reply to "Well" The way it usually is with me. First bite is the best. Maybe we can learn to take one bite and leave it. It will come back off

I was just thinking the Posted by Delta on 5/7/2025, 8:43 pm, in reply to "Thats" same thing. I read once that after 3 bites we no longer taste things anyway and should stop there. I have several friends within their weight range that I have noticed eating rich foods and sweets that way. They will try it for two or three bites, comment on how good it is and stop.

Will file that in my brain Posted by Cindyh on 5/9/2025, 12:07 am, in reply to "I was just thinking the " And try to do that.

Delta Posted by Beverly on 5/8/2025, 12:12 am, in reply to "I was just thinking the " Similarly, I've read that that first bite is good and we keep eating trying to get that same great taste again... but, often don't. Phooey. Maybe we should take one bite... maybe two and then dump dish soap on it.

268.9 Posted by Paula on 5/7/2025, 10:33 am, in reply to "WIW" Down 11.1! Almost half way to goal of 25 by June 5th. I know it will drastically slow down from here but this loss is encouraging and inspires me to carry on. I'm using an app (easy calorie, I think). Given my long term goal of 195, it assigned 1398 as the beginning calorie intake. I'm happy as long as I stay under 1500. Most days, I haven't broken 1400 but I need the wiggle room. I'm tracking calories, protein (goal 70+), water(goal 48-64), fiber (goal 25). The water is a tough one. I'd never make 70gm of protein if I didn't drink a supplement, at least 1/2 of one. The fiber got easier when I found Mission low carb tortillas. They have tons of fiber with very few calories and they have added protein. Apples, raspberries, beans with good fiber, too. The only sweet thing is the flip top Greek yogurt, just a tiny bit of sweet things dumped.into.thr yogurt. Made Skinnytaste Chicken Crockpot Enchiladas last night. I've made it before. I substitute smoked paprika for the cumin and add just a pinch of cayenne pepper. I added green and yellow peppers this time. This is an easy, delicious meal. In stead of the corn tortillas it calls for, I used the above-mentioned Mission Tortillas because of the added protein and fiber. They got yummier than the corn ones but it was worth it for now. This recipe and WW chili (I use.plant-based beef) are my 2 favorite recipes.

Check you out!…. Posted by Cindy on 5/8/2025, 12:23 am, in reply to "268.9" Love seeing this! So incredibly proud of you Paula! CONGRATULATIONS!

Down is so great!! Posted by Beverly on 5/8/2025, 12:14 am, in reply to "268.9" Wonderful. I am proud of you... it's never easy. I am glad for you, sweetie.

WooOOHoooO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by Krista on 5/7/2025, 4:51 pm, in reply to "268.9" GO PAULA!

Oh yay!! Posted by Cindyh on 5/7/2025, 1:55 pm, in reply to "268.9" That’s awesome Paula!! I love those tortillas too. And the la banderita. I get them at Sam’s. Happy for you!

Wowzer, Paula, that is AMAZING! Posted by Delta on 5/7/2025, 12:44 pm, in reply to "268.9" Upping your fiber is a great thing. It usually helps me lose easier. The only caution I would give you is to drink even more water or you are going to be constipated. Maybe have some True Lemonade a few times a day to up your water. If the sweet taste will make you crave sweets more try lemon, orange or a cucumber in your water to make it more like food. Half way to goal, you are going to rock it!

******they got gummier not yummier nt Posted by Paula on 5/7/2025, 12:02 pm, in reply to "268.9" Z

Good to know Posted by Delta on 5/7/2025, 8:44 pm, in reply to "******they got gummier not yummier nt" I use them a lot and was wondering how they would fare. I was afraid that they would come apart completely.

Mine Posted by Beverly on 5/7/2025, 7:57 am, in reply to "WIW" Stayed the same. It's ok with me. Hoping for a loss. Amazing, though, when I think about it. All the different food days and it comes out the same.

There’s nothing wrong… Posted by Cindy on 5/8/2025, 12:26 am, in reply to "Mine" With staying the same! It will come off!!

That’s good Posted by Cindyh on 5/7/2025, 1:56 pm, in reply to "Mine" Nothing wrong with that!

You did well, Beverly Posted by Delta on 5/7/2025, 12:45 pm, in reply to "Mine" The same days usually means a good loss next week if you keep to the course.

Great for hanging in there. Posted by Paula on 5/7/2025, 10:34 am, in reply to "Mine" Even after a binge day, you get back up on the horse! That's a winner to me.
