chiquitabananaz14 224 Posted May 29, 2017 Good morning friends! I am excited about what today will bring as I embark on my journey of getting back to the basics. I plan on eating 3 meals today with no snacking in between and one Protein Shake to make sure I get in all my Protein. I plan on trying to plan out my meals for the week so I don't get overwhelmed. I also am striving to drink at least 64oz of Water if not more. I hope and pray you all have a wonderful day[emoji173]️ May God bless you and keep you[emoji173]️-Mariela 9 daisygirl99, tfarr, Malina and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK Cathy 977 Posted May 29, 2017 Well I need to lose 50 to get back to my lowest. The weight has gone on gradually over the past 3 years, I knew I had to get it in hand but didn't. How did I get in this position well it's wine and snacking (grazing). My husband and I can share a bottle of wine (or 2!) but it is accompanied by crisps (chips) and a family bar of chocolate. Cakes and biscuits have also creeped in to my diet. See I know exactly what I'm doing wrong. I do have good restriction and if I eat correctly I get full on quite small amounts. The other thing I have done wrong is give up exercise. I don't like exercising but I do know it is essential.My plan: initially there will be no wine at home and consequently cut out the crisps and chocolate. Exercise. The number 50 is too big for me and quite frightening so I am going to cut it down into sections of 5 which seems so much more manageable. I have started today and I have used my elliptical and there is no wine in the house. 24 ShinyLady, mimide, Kathy812 and 21 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liz210 151 Posted May 29, 2017 Hello All, Glad I found this thread. I have also gain a little weight back and scared that I'm going to regain all my weight back. I have gain 10 pounds because of careless eating; I am a known stress eater. I know if I do not take control now, my regain will only get worse. I recently gave up chewing gum and notice that I have been substituting my gum chewing for carbs. I will try my hardest to start on Tuesday; it's going to be hard because we are having chips and all kinds of dips at work. I recently bought a treadmill and did great for about 2 weeks . I think having a support group that knows what I am going through would benefit me in my new start. Thanks in advance! 10 Finding Erika , Haj, CBT and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The snacking is a silent killer and we will see major improvements when we cut that out.
