OnaMi, what a wonderful, reflective time with your doctor. Maureen, I agree with you. Ona is so inspiring. Just reading her posts and seeing the life change is incredible.

Keep going OnaMi! You show us how to continue learning and improving our daily WOE and the choices we make. I was sitting here with my Greek yogurt w/sfff jello, ff milk, and then started eating chocolate chips I will have herbal tea instead...

Thank you Maureen(xo)
Thank you Grace(xo)

Been really busy.I think since I"m feeling so much better about myself,I'm starting to feel better about my surrounds too decided to remodel the kitchen..tile,Cabinets,painting and the lighting.Major job but it's time and i feel like doing it now so why not With everything going on and trying to fit in exercising..it's been crazy but I'm handling it though(didn't have time to get on the computer ) amazing what i can accomplish when I'm not on it all day Eating has been good.Just need more rest.Been going a lot lately but things are slowing down.WI @ 170.o today.Up .4 since my last post.Fluctuation and not enough rest gain for sure.

Went to a Zumba charity event for Breast Cancer!!! it was so much fun.Plan to attend another one the end of the month.

Just checking in for my dose of inspiration! Trying to get back on track after 8 weeks of work in an office that thrives on snacks and junk food! I need more images of good healthy eating in my head, so I'm reading journals. I think I need to read them every day - maybe on my lunch break at work!!

Hay Chris :wave: good to see you
Hay Maureen :wave:

Had a good weekend! first weekend since starting this journey that i felt like my new lifestyle is finally coming together.Didn't push to jog/walk or go to the gym Saturday!! Had a great day w/family and ate healhy(not too much)..I know right from wrong/know what will put weight on me and remember where i came from.WI @ 168.4 today,down 1.6 since my last WI

[happymo4]

Onami, What an awesome weight and weekend!! It sounds like you are feeling the same way that I am.....more relaxed about life and enjoying it without being consumed by the workouts and food because you know what works. There is a sense of peace when you get to that point... GO YOU!!

Hey onaMi,

I am just letting you know-I am back! I am feeling good...my PI/PII is working for me this week. I have lost the bloat-now I just have to work on the real pounds. I still don't have the lemons, but I'll get some soon.

As always-you rock!

Take care-
Mary Ann

I have just been catching up on the 'journals' Your story is AMAZING..... your phenomenal weight loss is a testament to your attitude and commitment. Lots of us have had success with this WOE but we get complacent and jump off the wagon......
Not you...and look at what you have achieved.
It's wonderful to see all the encouraging comments you have for others...we all gain strength with the support we get from each other
Three cheers for you.

[OnaMi]

That's great Mary Ann (hand clap) you know what to do and have had so much success following the SB guidelines,I knew you'd get back in the groove

Good to see you Lakegran Thank you x.. I try to keep my eyes on my goal but most importantly remembering where i came from (how addicted i was to the wrong kinds of foods,what they did to my health and quality of life) and know that i don't want to go back there.I like me now WI @ 167.6 today.down .8 since last update.

I've gotten to the point where i don't want/can't eat a lot of food any more.I'm tired of forcing down food when I'm not hungry.I don't just eat to eat any more.Still trying to following my format of eating like a king for breakfast,queen for lunch and poor man for dinner(not a lot of food),which is always before 6pm but even that is hard now so..IDK.

Out of all the places I've been,all the good time I've had in my life..I feel like I'm living the best time of my life right now

hugs! be well!! Interesting to see your new goals after not visiting the site for so long. I kinda figured you might lower them at some point. It's often hard to see ourselves in our "fantasy land" range when we begin and what is truly possible only becomes clearer when we are further along the path. Hope it doesn't burn you out though! Keep practicing self-compassion!

[OnaMi]

Hay Karl good to see you! thank you.You are sooo right.I N.E.V.E.R. thought I'd be here...N.E.V.E.R! and to think that i feel good,It's not hard to eat healthy w/all the choices SB gives me,I don't have cravings and that am really doing this is Un freaking believable!!!! I think I'm going to chill out at 150 lbs or until i can get my abs as tight as i can but I'm getting my rest for sure .

Haven't had much time for the computer lately.things are good.Down a pound since my last post.WI @ 166.6. With that WI, I've lost 1/2 of my starting weight! Had BMI checked at the gym today and it says I'm normal now for my age( 34.0). No more a morbidly obese person(yay).Still have a ways to go though.

[Chris55]

You are truly an inspiration!! You've lost so much, but you've gained so much spiritually that it's just a pleasure to read your journal. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving - you truly have so much to be grateful for.

[OnaMi]

Thank you Chris (hug) I hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving as well

Been concentrating on what i eat,working hard and not the scale.Been fighting to say off of it really.Was thrilled to see 164.4 today!!! down 2.2 since last post.I can't eat a lot of food anymore.I'm trying to stick to the SB format but it's so hard.Seems like I'm forcing food down when I'm not hungry...IDK..
