How do you all eat out (on a regular basis) and lose? I just moved. Finally got my kitchen mostly set up and said it was time to start this. We ordered a new fridge when we moved and it didn’t work. A week and a half later we got the replacement and I already started this bet. I ate out almost all my meals. I had no fridge. Expensive for a family of 4 with picky eaters and allergies to eat healthy. I gained. I’m now one pound above my starting weight and scrambling. This mornings breakfast is brought to you by premier and yogurt with a snack of hard boiled eggs. Sigh. I’m not giving up. Those cheese curls in the corner don’t exist. Made roasted turkey breast last night for lunches today. I got this, I think.

The pot is now $700

I’ve done these before but life has gotten in the way. I’ve got a cruise in 9.5 months. I’ve got a goal in mind. Hoping everyone in my house stays healthy and I can work hard on this. My boyfriend is talking about coming off hospice so if I can keep him out of the hospital we will do good. I’ve got big numbers in mind. A big goal and an “acceptable” goal by cruise time.

Hello, friends! I've been quiet lately, so I thought I should come in and tell you what's going on.

I've discovered a have a heart issue that is NOT lethal, but it's affecting my energy level. I'm often fatigued and light headed when I'm in this rhythm. I went to see my personal doctor and she is referring me to a cardiologist. I'm still waiting on that call for an appointment.

She has also reduced the amount of a diuretic I take three times per week. Being on that less has resulted in a three pound weight gain over the past three days. I've also had to stop taking a muscle relaxant that helps with pain in my knees following knee replacement surgery. It's causing frustration, but I'm still staying on my weight loss plan and I have every intention of staying with this game.

I'm sure that the weight I've already lost is helping me through all of this. Hopefully this will be behind me soon and I can get back to focusing all my efforts on being a (weight) LOSER!
