"Kumbaya" Weight Loss Chat

[NoCarbsNoSugar]

Alright... this section of the forum has been a ghost town all day.
Where has everyone gone?

Did y'all done fall off the wagon and went to Dunkin' Donuts?



I was thinking it would be kind of cool for the regulars (and the not-so-regulars) to have a hangout place where we could all check in from time to time... to chat, whine, gossip , encourage each other, talk about whatever, or just say hi.

What d'ya say?
Kumbaya?

Hi ncns! How's it going? I'm doing good, this weight loss is sumbish. Slow is the best way tho. And dealing with schizophrenia makes it more difficult but I'm optimistic as I'm able to sleep without eating while I'm at my parents. That's HUGE! Hope everything is well with you 🙂

[NoCarbsNoSugar]

Hi Vadsie,

Everyone struggles with something.
Everyone needs a little help somewhere.
Hope you're getting help.

I agree about losing weight slow.
That's what I have done, and I am not even finished.
My new short-term goal is to reach into the low 160's.
Maybe by Easter, maybe by summer, maybe by Christmas.
Whenever.

[vadsie]

Ya things are under control for the most part. My main goal is to be 200 pounds and 8% bf cuz I want muscles! Hey what's the main purpose of your weight loss? To look good naked? To be healthy? Mine when I started was to look good naked but I'm in my 30's now and I want to be healthy.

[NoCarbsNoSugar]

I just want to be healthy.
And I want to live to see 94.
That's it.

You coaxed me out of my mini hibernation.

You coaxed me out of my mini hibernation.

So quiet up in here for the last couple days, I had to try something.

Was it the the song that coaxed you out of it?

... and now the forum section is getting busy again...

I started humming the tune in my head when I read the thread title. Then I saw the word donut and zoned out.

I think this is a great thread NoCarbs. I find that once outside of the fat loss log section in bb it's just hostility everywhere, so is a great idea as it's in a "safe space" so to speak.

I don't post much outside of log section, jmostly just in the food porn threads. You all find hostility from peeps outside of here?

And roasted seaweed is delicious

Did you eat it all yourself.

Yes, it could be a cold world "outside" sometimes... I am a big boy though, and have learned to keep my fists up It used to be a lot worse, I think.

Roasted SeaWeed. I liked it. Second time I had it. I have a large bag of single serving packets from Costco.

The omelette... actually, I didn't eat any of it. I had already eaten for the morning, and didn't want to stuff myself.

They devoured it.
Quickly.

My man thinks that the illuminati is behind the NFL changing over to 50 instead of the roman numeral L.

Maybe not the illuminati but he definitely thinks that is there is some kind of nefarious reason behind it.

Get out the tin foil hats people

you mean it's not true???
truth be told, I don't know much about the illuminati, other than Mozart seems to have been one... and I also don't know much about the superbowl, so I am in the dark on both subjects.



... this just happened...

Grand meal, I tell ya'!

I wasn't really supposed to touch that ham... It is for Sunday.

But the wife was gone shopping, and the ham kept calling my name...

[NoCarbsNoSugar]

Happy Sunday people.

Happy Sunday indeed.

Since I counted macros every single day, and still are plenty, the scale seems to be slowly moving down again.

[phoenix4444]

^^^
Nice!

[NoCarbsNoSugar]

Older kids not home this afternoon... That's a good thing, because I didn't want the SuperBowl on...

It will be a more quiet afternoon, with mom and mother-in-law visiting.

Wait... that could actually be LOUDER than the SuperBowl in the end...

[NoCarbsNoSugar]

New week.
Lots to do.
Going to reach new numbers on the scale this week.

Bring it!

Hi there.
Welcome!

Good morning, all.

I'm looking at the thread's start date. I did go to DD that day, lol. My first time in a while. I was killing time before a hair appointment and had a craving for a m*ple gl*zed donut.

NoCarbs, I decided to drop in on a w8watchers meeting last week to see what their latest program entailed. (I tracked my food religiously using their system and lost weight with it in 2010 but I haven't been disciplined enough to track regularly since then. I rely on mindful eating and portion control now. Off and on I try to get back into the habit of counting.) Anyway, their latest points calculator now asks you to input sugars (my weakness) and saturated fats. Cals, sugars, saturated fats and protein are the new inputs. The old ones were carbs, fat, protein and fiber.

I'm telling you because of your name, I guess. :P

Great job NoCarbs!

Happy Sunday people.

I missed this on sunday...so happy monday everyone? Mondays are sooo my worst day of the week lol.

I was always curious about weight watchers when I was a newb but I figured counting calories was hard enough so a point system just sounded like it would be too much for me lol.
