Lose weight the fun way.

We haven’t talked about Non-Scale Victories for a while, and I know you have them!

As the pressure of making our goal for this game gets stronger, it’s important to remember that the scale doesn’t tell the whole story.

Also, as things come up in life, it’s important to pat ourselves on the back for good habits we are keeping up with, challenges we are overcoming, and just making it through the day.

You are all incredible, and you’re doing a wonderful job. You deserve a pat on the back! I hope you all can find some small victories to give yourself credit for, and please share them with us below.

I was able to “shop my closet”

I lost a t shirt size and a few pant sizes.

Welcome to a new week!

Just for a little fun, leave some words of encouragement for someone else here, on the game board, or in a reply to a post they share.

It can be a fun pun, a health/fitness joke or meme, your favorite quote, or just an easy, "you got this!"

Up the positivity this week, Team, and spread kindness like confetti!

Even if "present you" doesn't see any changes, you're laying the foundation for "future you"!

My advice would be to just keep going. Consistency is key!! You don't have to be perfect. You just have to keep trying!

We went down south and explored the Tuscon area for a couple of days. I sad no to a lot of things, drank almost all water, made sure to eat all the protein and veggies on my plates and only some of the carbs, and made sure to pick healthier meals on menus. I don’t lose any weight the last couple of days, but I didn’t gain weight either!

Overall, I think I’m gonna miss my goal weight again. I only lost 2 pounds this month so far, and have 5 more pounds to lose. I was hoping to lose more so next month will be easier. Looks like I will have to just keep working hard at it, and hopefully I will catch up by the end of next month.

Eating out is really hard no matter what you do. Just keep at it and do your best. You gotta live too.

I’ve been feeling quite frustrated as my weight has plateaued the last couple of weeks despite continuing to watch my diet and keep up with my workouts… frustration officially ended yesterday as a coworker told me she can tell I’ve been losing weight and asked me what I’ve been doing bc I am looking fit! GUYS - I have never stuck with a program long enough for anyone outside of immediate family (who knew I was trying) to comment and it has re-fueled my motivation so much! Grateful for this transformer and you all!!

Best of luck Amanda! Remember to eat to satiety! What’s your diet plan?

Amanda87

James - not following a specific diet plan, just small changes including not eating take out / fast food, cut out all alcohol, and try not to eat after dinner time (I was a really bad late night snacker when I watched tv and now I just drink a hot tea instead)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today is a good day to talk about those greens!

Let us know which of these you enjoy!
💚 spinach
💚 kale
💚 broccoli
💚 avocados
💚 asparagus
💚 green cabbage
💚 Brussels sprouts
💚 green herbs

There is a bit of variety in these green foods but many are good sources of fiber, folate, magnesium, potassium, vitamin A (beta carotene), and vitamin K1.

Health Benefits
💚 anti-inflammatory
💚 antioxidant
💚 cruciferous veggies, in particular, may lower your risk of cancer and heart disease

Have you eaten any of these green goodies lately?

Salad, avocado, beans, snow peas

NONE.

Spinach and Kale have loads of oxalates. They are objectively bad for you. They are leaves people. Don’t eat leaves. We weren’t meant to eat leaves.

Avocados make sense because they’re a fruit.

Also fiber leads to gut issues, so I intake no fiber.

Did great last week, but struggling again this week. I just can’t seem to satisfy my hunger this week. I even increased my protein intake.

I’ve had an enlargement on my thyroid for 2 months now which I still don’t know what the problem is quite yet. Hypothyroidism and other thyroid issues run in my family.

My thyroid levels were fine on my blood test, but I’m still waiting to get a thyroid ultrasound done that my dr wants me to do. I had to reschedule my appt 3 times now due to my husband switching jobs and our new medical insurance taking forever to process. It’s beyon frustrating.

Anyways, I supposed I’m just venting my struggles and frustrations. It didn’t use to be this hard to lose weight.

McQueen, yeah always get a hunger spike a few days before my period. But my next one isn’t for a couple of weeks. I’m feeling better today though after getting lots of water in. I think is was a mix of dehydration, and my body getting tired of being in a deficit for too long.

Hey Amanda. I come bearing unsolicited advice.

Feel free to disregard.

My way that has worked tremendously and continues to be enjoyable is high fat high protein, 0 carb.

It helps me not feel like a rabbit with a celery addiction mostly.

My appetite is sated after about 10-15 minutes of eating, and I don’t think about eating for another like 6 hours?

I eat 2-3 times a day and just have happiness and energy all day.

The nutrient density is also really high(especially iron) so that helps me exercise with full strength.

Best luck on your path my friend.

WARNING. Do not try my path unless you truly have the courage.

It’s a change for sure.

Best of luck!

Totally fell off the wagon last couple days :(
I find when I don't get enough sleep I want to eat all day and want sugar and carbs:(

Going to be sure to get some sleep tonight and back on the wagon tomorrow

I totally understand. It's been weeks of insomnia for me now, and my quality and quantity of food are suffering for it.

A lack of sleep is a diet- killer for me too. So let's go to bed early enough and start a good sleeping routine. Good night, sleep tight :sleeping:

What do you do when you’ve been doing everything right and your weight loss has stalled?

A plateau can be so frustrating, especially when you feel like your doing what you should – or what has always worked in the past.

It helps to switch things up and try something new. I gathered some tips to help us out. Please share your own ideas!

1. Do more strength training. More lean muscle boosts your metabolism and it doesn’t leave you as famished as a high-intensity cardio workout.

2. Start measuring your portions. Overtime we can loosen our estimation of our portions and need a serving-size refresher.

3. Try eating more! As you progress and workout more, your body actually needs more (healthy) food to burn calories.

4. Add lean protein to every meal and snack. Protein will keep you full longer and may actually help lower your calorie intake for the day.

Share below if you’ve hit a plateau or if you’re going to use one of these tips to ramp up your weight loss! Add your own tips too!

Alternatively zero carb works. High fat high protein helps break through

Unfortunately I starve myself until the scale moves. I know it is so unhealthy!
