Absolutely fabulous!

I posted how much Pilates ring has done wonders for my legs & arms & recommended to everyone!

Resistance training worked for me. I used Pilates ring. Made huge difference in my 135 weight loss.

Thanks so much, Kelly, for your detailed reply!
I was disappointed that no one responded when I remembered there were some Aldi loving posters!
Really appreciate it & will check it out!

Hi- I’m going to Aldi’s tomorrow. What goodies should I look for?

I’m 16 months post op & 130 lbs down. At Drs goal but want to lose another 15. During my journey experienced many stalls for no reason at all. For 2 MONTHS stuck at 160-161. Back & forth. Then all of a sudden dropped to 155. Did nothing different. Just followed the course. Since this stall happened later in the journey didn’t stress as much as I had in the beginning. Remember. When you stress it raises cortisol which can create weight gain. For beginners I’ve always suggested to take measurements, try on clothes vs always jumping on scale. For me that was very hard habit to break. Used to weigh daily. Finally during losing process I was able to pick the same day each week- Wednesday- & weigh then. When you get to goal you should weigh yourself more frequently so any weight gain can be addressed immediately.
I have great program were we had weekly support group meetings & we still continue now with zoom meetings. It’s so important to reach out to others like this so keep doing it. I’ve learned so much by sharing & with our therapist who leads group. Biggest lesson. Stay the course. It works!

Love these! Like cheese doodles. Got from Amazon. It had some negative reviews but positive ones won out!

What a tease with very little info! What is name of product? How many carbs? Where did you get it?

Where did you get that? I love hearts of palm!Just be sure to boil hearts of palms to soften up. I then sautéed in pan with sauce & other ingredients as I would for any Pasta dish. Originally bought from Amazon in packets. Then found in my local Publix in cans as angel hair. Have not used that yet.

Can we see nutritional information please?

I’ve been fortunate that all my friends & family have been very supportive of my weight loss. And not everyone knows I’ve had surgery! Most do but a few that I felt might be initially negative I just told them working on getting healthy @ 66! And man I see off & on who I did NOT tell even sent card how happy I’m concentrating on my health! I think one reason many are so supportive besides being good friends & family is I’m very upbeat about getting healthy. And those that know I’m very open with about changes in my lifestyle. I’ve been part of dining out group. I did not stop going just because of surgery. I don’t want to end that part of my social life. Dining out is not just about the food. It’s about the fun of socializing, ambiance of restaurant & yes I can still enjoy food but in moderation.
Are there any of your friends that you feel close enough to & worth salvaging friendship to address these issues? If not then it’s time to do some self discovery & eventually surround you with more positive people. Otherwise it will only sabotage you. Good luck!

Maybe try this reset. It’s worked for me when stalled. Perhaps if you concentrate on this 5 day reset with success it will get you back on track. Good luck!

Thanks. I’ll google it & see if shows if it’s distributed nationally.

These are for Breakfast. But 9 pieces are way too much for me. 2-3 are good for breakfast or as snack. I even cut them up & put in omelette. They are new. Bought at my local Publix where they have other Jimmy Dean breakfast in refrigerator section. I’m sure Walmart will have soon too.

Never saw these. Where did you get them ?

Hi- love this thread with different ideas. Never saw this Chilly Cow Uomograsso. Where did you get these? Thanks!

190 calories, 12 g Protein, 16 g net carbs. It is soooooo good. My treat for a week of HIIT sessions on the eliptical.

Never saw this Chilly Cow. Where did you get it? Love when it’s already in individual container.

Hi- when I’ve been stalled I’ve done 5 day reset. That’s always jumped started scale again & kept it off. This is the one I used as has just 2 days of liquids. Maybe this will help you.

Since we're still stuck in house- at least we are here in So FL- I follow a few sites that do live videos. One is from successful Bariatric woman that does live makeup tutorials. It’s fun to watch. And I follow her on FB. Her before & after are amazing. I also follow a boutique that sells & models clothes. There are a lot online now. Keeps me busy. Keeps me motivated to want to wear small sizes & some points in how to wear smaller clothes since we don’t have to hide our size anymore. I also follow animal rescue site that I’m very involved with. So these keep me occupied while I’m in house. Of course I do other things but these are relaxing & help me unwind

I’m 20 lbs from goal. My year anniversary is in a little more than 2 weeks. Overall I’m down 125 lbs. I’ve been stalled for 2 months. I did pouch reset- see attached. Only 5 days. 1st 2 are Liquid Protein & tough but it worked! scale moved! I’ve done it once before when stalled so this will be my go to. Good luck!

New favorite food. When you just need chocolate. Yum yum not bad for you n it tastes like chocolate fudge brownie.

I tried this chocolate hummus with strawberries. Didn’t love it but helped with chocolate craving a bit.

So true. Almost 50 lbs in 3+ months! That’s terrific! Remember not to compare with others. My Journey has been up & down. But bottom line is I’m 120 lbs down with 20 to go. My health has never been better. Im 66 years old with life long weight issues.
ive been stuck on 1 # for 6 weeks. This week going to try reset to hopefully get closer to goal & then maintain. It’s all about adaptability within plan to find what works for you.

You don’t have to eat typical breakfast foods. Can eat leftover dinner. Or lox- salmon. You can put on cauliflower wraps if you don’t want to eat it alone. Do you like cottage cheese? Can be mixed with sugar free jams. I put “Everything” seasoning in it. Make version of avocado toast again using cauliflower wrap. Don’t limit yourself to just breakfast foods. Switch it around. Good luck!
