Got my workout in! Going to be pretty silent until Sunday—we’re headed out of state to visit with the in-laws so kiddo can hang with grandpa before school starts. I’m going to do my best, track what I eat, focus on water first and veggies most. Have a great end of week, friends!

Day three—at least in my head—of really working at this. I usually do intermittent fasting, but this morning I wanted a breakfast taco loaded with mushrooms, eggs, onions, and peppers. I had one and gave the rest to my son. Normally, I’d eat two for no real reason, but I’m breaking the habit of doubling all my “good ideas.”
The scale showed good news today. I know it’s technically only day two, but I’ll take positive reinforcement wherever I can get it. Yesterday I also had breakfast tacos for dinner, then went on a 30-minute bike ride to burn off the sugar and keep it from turning straight into fat—great strategy.
Thanks for all the pictures and ideas. Keep them coming.

Today I packed a lunch. My biggest problem with food is eating out too much.

- Still on a downward trend! Leaving tomorrow to visit family, so I’m hopeful that I can find a way to stay on my nutrition while visiting. We’ll see since we’ll be out and about on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Not a lot of healthy options at theme parks and ren fair but I’ll do what I can! For now, I’m on a roll! Got in my workout and am ready for the day! Gotta get my step and water goal!
- Happy Hump Day, everyone!
Let's talk about two crucial things for a successful week: water and smart snacking.
First, hydration. A great way to stay on track is to always have a water bottle with you. You can make it fun by adding sliced fruit or herbs.
Fun Fact: Did you know that the average person will drink enough water in their lifetime to fill a small swimming pool? So keep sipping!
Next, let's talk about "snack-tivities." Instead of just sitting and munching, pair your snack with a small activity. For example, eat some carrot sticks while you do a few stretches, or have a handful of almonds while you clean up a small part of your house. It keeps your mind and body active!
If you could magically turn one food into a non-caloric food (without changing the taste), what would it be?

Sigh, just need to commiserate with someone. I've lost 35 pounds over the last few months. Hard-earned, and I have lost inches and look better (being tall hides things). I decided to check a waist measurement today, expecting to see 32-33 inches. Ya all, it was 37! Still an unhealthy number. When I had my head in the sand, ignoring just how much I had gained, that waist measurement must have reached the 40s. No wonder I'm still fighting hypertension. That was a wake-up call, and I am now even more motivated to work hard to get my waist measurement back into healthy numbers. Still, a bit depressing to realize how much more I need to do. Back a million years ago, I was the skinny one, the one who never gained weight. This is just revolting. Sigh. Ok, just needed to share, I don't have anyone in real life on this journey with me.
Ok all. Let me know what your tips or tricks are to overcome the urge to overeat. I can easily meet my fiber and protein goals, and I’ve got the exercise routine down pat.

- Hi everyone! My name is Morgan and this is my first DietBet. I started at 300lbs and I’m down to 180. I’ve hit a plateau and decided to put some money on the line to motivate myself lol
My calorie goal is about 1400/day with 95g protein and I go to the gym 4-5 days a week
