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"

Even though I forgot to weigh I can tell Posted by Cindyh on 8/1/2025, 6:25 am, in reply to "WIW nt" I am up. I am bloated legs ankles belly. I haven’t even been excessively. eating salty food. Just frustrating

I am up.. Posted by Beverly on 7/30/2025, 9:31 pm, in reply to "WIW nt" 3.5 pounds. There was not enough food to fill my brain. Anxiety, stress, pain. Always amazes me how a my food head/brain can change over night.

OOPS.... REPEAT OF POST BELOW. NT Posted by Beverly on 7/30/2025, 9:32 pm, in reply to "I am up.."

For me… Posted by Cindy on 7/30/2025, 8:56 pm, in reply to "WIW nt" Sadly I am up 2.6 pounds. I have been struggling with food in the evening. Food goes great during the day - but supper is such a struggle. I am tired of salads. I am still not eating during the middle of the night-so there’s that. I just need to get my evening meal reined back in. I can do this.

I know that is disappointing Posted by Paula on 7/31/2025, 9:19 am, in reply to "For me…" I have all the faith in you that you will turn this around I wish there was some kind of group you could be a part of. I don't like groups but you tend to thrive when you are part of a group

First of all Posted by Delta on 7/31/2025, 1:56 am, in reply to "For me…" congrats on not eating during the middle of the night!!!! Eating a lot of veggies does not mean just eating a lot of salads. I love cutting up some in-season veggies and tossing them with a bit of olive, flavored or seed oil, sprinkling a bit of chopped garlic over them with some Kinders The Blend or rosemary and thyme as well as salt and pepper and roasting them on a sheet pan at 425 for a few minutes. Roasting makes vegetables so sweet and takes just minutes. Add any meat on the pan or cook it any way you want. The air fryer is also good for roasting veggies. I don't like a lot of meat in the summer, just too heavy. I have a hard time eating raw veggies since 3 surgeries on my colon. I love them, but they do not like me. This week was going to be busy, and to get more veggies without a lot of work, I chopped up a bunch of veg at the beginning of the week and made a delicious vegetable soup. I cheated and put chicken broth in it instead of vegetable broth because it is what I had. I started off dinner with a cup of soup which filled me up and made me eat a lot less. A couple of nights I tossed in some cooked chopped chicken from the freezer or cooked shrimp from the freezer and made a meal of it. I planned to have another cup if I still felt the need for more after dinner. I never did. I find the heat soothes me and quiets my cravings. I left enough for three days and put a cup each of room-temperature soup into freezer containers and froze them so I could pull out one every day that we were eating at home. I ate out three days this past week, when I usually don't eat out three times in three months. I guess that is how I stayed the same after eating out so much, because that always makes me gain weight. Even when it is hot outside, if the AC is on I love the comfort food of soup so I don't eat as much. Would something like that work for you?

The theme Posted by Cindyh on 7/30/2025, 9:02 pm, in reply to "For me…" Of the week! Wow. What’s going on. I’m so sorry Cindy.

I agree! Posted by Paula on 7/31/2025, 8:15 am, in reply to "I am up.." How do the food gremlins get out? It will look better next week!

Beverly Posted by Cindyh on 7/30/2025, 9:02 pm, in reply to "I am up.." I’m sorry. Seems stress really gets to us all doesn’t it.

Way up Posted by Krista on 7/30/2025, 6:02 pm, in reply to "WIW nt" But have said the hell with it the last few days and it is what it is. I wish I could just fly to Toronto or Montreal and get WLS surgery for $15K. I could but the worry would be not having aftercare locally.

I wish you could, too. Posted by Paula on 7/31/2025, 9:23 am, in reply to "Way up" I know when I hit the 390s that nothing was going to stop me from getting to 600 pounds! That's when I decided to have WLS. Can we be of more support. I am sure everyone here would make themselves more available if you asked. Love you and hate seeing this!

((Krista)) Posted by Cindyh on 7/30/2025, 9:00 pm, in reply to "Way up" I’m so sorry. I am right there with you in how I feel. I mean I had surgery and have maintained my loss except 10 or 15 lbs and lost 130+ BUT I never made it close to my goal and just stopped. I’ve tried semaglutide and lost 10 lbs and quit. So frustrating. I don’t know the answer

Same Posted by Delta on 7/30/2025, 1:55 pm, in reply to "WIW nt" I don't know whether to be excited about that since we ate out three times during the week or sad because when I wasn't eating out I was real strict because of the eating out. I guess it all balanced so my reaction should be too.

Well I forgot Posted by Cindyh on 7/30/2025, 12:07 pm, in reply to "WIW nt" We are out of town with Hannah today and I forgot to check.

241 Posted by Paula on 7/30/2025, 10:47 am, in reply to "WIW nt" Down 1.7 It feels like it was a minute ago that I was hoping so hard to get to 259.9. Now, I am eager to get to 238...my lowest after WLS. I know I haven't hit the hard parts yet ie plateaus, stress eating when my life is in full swing again but I'm ready for it!

Yay Posted by Cindyh on 7/30/2025, 8:56 pm, in reply to "241" That’s good Paula
