My Line In The Sand



Recommended Posts

So, I'm over my bounce range and so far I haven't done a good job of stopping the snacking, but tonight I am not eating after dinner. I will not starve! My Christmas present to myself: at goal or under. I've got two weeks, lots of parties and get together a, but I know I can do it. Starting with tonight. I've got my lotion and lip gloss on, and I'm sucking down my SleepyTime tea with Splenda.

Always an inspiration, Lynda! You are an excellent example to all of us just getting started on our journey. Thanks for posting, and good luck getting to goal!

Just what I needed to read, Lynda. Despite what my ticker is reading, I shifted my goal and have about 5 more lbs to go. And can I shift them? Nope....

Need to get some shape back in my eating in the evenings. Party season is taking its toll, not enough that I have gained but enough that I have stopped losing. So will follow ur lead and stop nibbling in the evenings....Fill up with more liquid :-)

Good for you! This is what separates us from gaining and losing/maintaining! We all know what to do, it's just harder some days than others (at least for me), and some days I do better at it than others. My weight loss has really slowed down, and just about ground to a halt. I needed to hear that - I need a little more resolve. I'm with you!

Nice going Lynda. Sometimes we can put the ship on automatic pilot. Other times we really have to focus. Weighing yourself regularly and giving yourself a bounce limit keeps you accountable. It also demonstrates that it's never over. Diligence is our new lifelong companion.

Hello everyone! New here and I'm 15 months out. After all this time I've learned that what I was told from the very beginning is true. A smaller stomach is only a tool. It's what we do and the choices we make that make us successful. We still have to say no to things and follow the rules. Keep fighting the fight!!!

Thanks all! I made it last night. Today, I'm not eating any added sugar items. Holiday time is hard for me, but I passed up the Cookies and the charity work event I attended today and instead of kettle corn for an afternoon snack, I had an ounce of Special K crackers, 3 tablespoons of low cal spinach dip, and a couple of turkey mini sausages.

I've also had a cup of sugar free hot apple cider. I'm going to try to hold off dinner till around 7 and go without an after dinner snack again.

I've decided I'm going to make an extra effort on at least one thing per day between now and Christmas. My version of the 12 days of Christmas. So today I'm going to monitor my Fluid intake and get in at least 64 ozs. No Snacks after dinner, but I may have a cocktail or two if we go out to eat. No added sugar other than the cocktail.

And at the end of the 12 days, I'm going to Celebrate with a sparkly, new piece of clothing to wear to parties.

Ugh. Missed on the Fluid intake yesterday. I got 7 cups, and that counts coffee and two drinks. So that's my goal again today. 64 oz. of fluids.

Off for a walk.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
