BambiS - Definitely seems like a good week!
This is such a fabulous time of year for fresh produce, right? Enjoy!
Rebecka22 - Considering that you were travelling, I think you had a pretty great week!
Kudos to you for letting the non adherent desserts pass you by. I am feeling quite a bit better, thank you for asking.
Have a great week!
Lizzy_F - Great progress, Beth! It must feel really exciting to approach that "healthy" BMI milestone, right? Nice work navigating jury duty, and wishing you the best adjusting to your braces.

I think you are wise to be cautious in this regard, you definitely don't want to go hungry.

I agree! A pretty IMPORTANT victory!
carwex - Woo-hoo! Congratulations on those 25 pounds, Carol; those are the kind of results we would hope to see, right? I know that is a well-earned victory. You make an astute point about calorie dilution, rather than "portion control," being the important distinction for successful, lifelong weight management. Wishing you a safe, easy journey, and all the best navigating the transition to your new locale.
VegSeekingFit - You seem to be really flourishing in this good groove, Stephanie! I'm so happy that your new, relaxed, holistic mindset is working for you. Carry on!
kirstykay - Hang in there, Kirsty! Getting out of the Pleasure Trap is almost always a struggle, but you know it can be done, you have done it in the past, after all. Just put your focus an making that "next right choice." I think your plan for managing your oral surgery seems appropriate, and as you observed, the interim days are a great time to focus on adherence so you'll be in a great position to face that upcoming challenge. You'll get there.
Gimmelean - Really excellent point about motivation, and the interplay between self talk, perceptions of self-efficacy, and the experience of success. I love that quote. Let us know how things go with those techniques for dealing with "recreational eating" before bed. Have a great week!
Artista - Very nice progress, Nancy; especially considering the time away from home! I feel like
this post from Jeff offers a really nice, simple perspective on omega 3's.
Noella - Congratulations to you on the resolution of your tendonitis, and on a really good month, overall!
You have come a long way in the last few years, right? Keep attending to the recommended behaviors, with an eye toward fine-tuning overall calorie density, and you will break through that plateau, given time. Cheers to motivation, mobility and healthy lifestyle habits that we can keep!
CUgorji22 - You have a lot to feel great about, Chesca! Kudos for your hard-won success, and especially in including exercise! I'm so happy you were able to have an open discussion with your family around body image, and that it came to such a satisfactory resolution. I hope you were visited by many happy memories of your Dad this week. I'm feeling quite a bit better, thank you so much for asking. Enjoy your weekend!
