@@suzzzzz I've been gaining and losing the same .5 lb for days now...just broke through today. How can I be eating SO little and still swinging back and forth? I keep telling myself I've got a big loss coming one of these days!

That is what I have been doing too. Same .5 lbs up and down except today it was up one. I am starting to walk more today and will increase Water intake. I am having fun fitting into some clothes I haven't worn in years.

I can't wait to hear about your big loss that is coming soon!

I'm right there with you. Same exact lb gained, lost, gained, lost! Feels better knowing I'm not alone

@suzzzzz@APanda911 Thankyouthankyouthankyou! I'm so happy to hear that it's not just me! I KNOW I'm eating right (although I do need to exercise more, but I've got a torn rotator cuff that's holding me back) and I KNOW I'm going to be a success at this, but the little voice that I hate is whispering in my ear that I'm going to fail at this just like I always failed at reaching goal at Weight Watchers, or Jenny Craig, or whatever I tried.
Donell, where are you with your positive inspiration??

@@APanda911 and @@ShelterDog64 , it is nice to have friends on this journey. Thanks Maggie for starting this thread.

I hear that little voice because mine says the same thing. I used to be really good at losing and even better at gaining. Then as I got heavier and heavier and older, I couldn't lose like I used to and I wanted a tool to help with the rest of my life. I am going to be successful and you are too, along with others who are serious about making a long term change. I just turned 59 and am determined to not be the old fat lady in family pictures. My family has a long history of that. :-)

We can do this!

My new favorite dinner!! (This is a salad for my whole family, not just for me )

Tomatoes and fresh basil from the garden, fresh mozzarella (which is lower in cals than most cheese, and high in protein) - drizzled with avocado oil and topped with salt and pepper. So delicious and filling! I can eat 2 slices of Tomato and 2 small slices of fresh mozz in 1 sitting and I'm FULL.

I'll be 52 this month and I sure envy the younger crowd around here. I'm in early menopause, fat and post-op crazed right now...my family deserves better than this!

Caprese salad has been a family favorite since my college kid started cooking as a young teen. We love a little drizzle of balsamic vinegar, too! Now I'm craving tomatoes!

Jealous! No tomatoe for me yet but caprese salad is going to be topping my list in a couple of weeks!

Stall is over for now. Finally down a few more lbs. should be clear for gym soon.
