@lorri726 hi lorri just checking to see how are you doing? I been feeling good the other day I weighed myself and was at 186 lbs. I think it is helping that I'm eating less nuts throughout the day.

I'm doing well still stuck at 193 it's been a week. It's seems to be my norm these last few weeks. I'm not stressing it. I've got enough to stress about with fixing this house, selling it, being in a bidding was on a new house, that sort of thing. The weight will come off its just slow. And I think it's soon time for my monthly friend.

Ok I have to edit my post from an hour ago. I'm officially 191 woo hoo the dreaded scale has moved! Happy dancing this morning. Have a great day!

Great job. Yes staying away from popcorn is hard. I love it. I'm officially 189 today. I am so happy that the scale has been consistently moving again. One day I'll finally see my goal.

I have not been exercising at all at the gym, due to house hunting and getting ours ready to be on the market. I've been trying to just get in my water and I just make sure to eat my protein first. I still have carbs every now and again so I'm not sure why the big drop in the last 2 weeks. But I'll be glad to keep dropping like this if it's up to me lol. I bet a stall happens soon. It's my luck.

Today was not a good day for me, anxiety kicked in haven't had the need of grazing until today. I made some bad food choices and it kind of scare me because it was the same feeling I had before my surgery.

The need of wanting to eat something without being hungry. I kept going back to eating pumpkin seeds, dried fruit (mango and cranberries) more nuts and some of the left over movie popcorn (it happened after work)..

I went and threw away the popcorn, I know for sure I don't want to go back to my old habits.

I went and changed my screen saver to this picture to remind myself I don't want to go back to my old jeans size ???????? I know tomorrow will be a better day????post-260556-14546386080916_thumb.jpg

Just remember that you are human. We are going to make mistakes. Glad you threw out the popcorn. Do better today. I personally had chicken wings and a vodka and cranberry yesterday so not any better than you.

I feel much better today. l started my day with a delicious breakfast albacore tuna with eggs, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes a peppers and 4 tablespoons of lentils. It was very filling ones able to eat about 2/3 cup.
