Weight is slow to move, but I’m not giving up! Dig Deeper is challenging me, and I’m enjoying it.

Loved that program! I always lost a pound when I did leg day. Very tempting to just work on legs lol

Sometimes change is happening without the scale showing it…yet! Keep going!

I’ve been doing 2B for about a year and a half, after regaining 30 lbs from my previous 100 lbs weight loss (tracking and restricting portions, but felt hungry a lot). I’m very close to my goal weight, and I’m trying to push past “good enough plateau”. My kids eat fairly healthy, but I try not to demonize silly treats or having carbs later in the day. My husband has been resistant to healthy eating habits. I modify my meals to add extra veggies to what I make for the family. Last night, I really hurt his feelings. He was excited to show me a recipe on TikTok. I was underwhelmed and told him I didn’t see veggies in it. He apparently thought the little pepper and onion in it counted (looked like just a bit for flavor to me). He was truly upset that he couldn’t cook what he wanted for the family because I wouldn’t eat it. I told him that I would probably have a small portion with a large plate of vegetables. I don’t think I should feel bad for not being excited about recipes that are meat and potatoes, but I don’t want to hurt my husband’s feelings.😞

Keep trying. We don’t mean to hurt others’ feelings, but for some of us, consistency takes extra effort, and we can feel defensive about our progress. All we can do is explain that we really do need certain things to feel our best, and it’s not personal at all. It is hard sometimes, but the more our family and friends see how good we feel with veggies most, the more it might make sense.

Alternatively, if you’re in a good place for it with mindset, and if you wanted to, it could be a treat? Sometimes I take a setback if I decide it’s worth it. I just have to be careful about how often.

Feel free to disregard all of that if it isn’t helpful.

This is 100% my household.

M husband keeps bringing up that he’s trusting me with his stomach and his stomach doesn’t like veggies. I usually retort with something along the lines of “you don’t like veggies _yet_”

We recently had a good talk and assured him that if he finds something he really wants and I’m able to modify/add veggies for my plate we can go for it. If it’s something that doesn’t modify well for dinner, I’ll do small changes and make it as a lunch over the weekend.

We’ll see how it goes, but I’m hopefully we put food debates to rest. It’s so draining and my
Motivation takes a hit every time it comes up.

Thinking ahead about my meals for the week. Bringing water and tea with me wherever I go.

Elaina E.

Drinking water. I’ve been home all week and Monday and Tuesday was on Zoom parent teacher conferences all day so I made sure to exercise in the morning like I usually do and keep drinking water and tea throughout the day, as well as planning what my meals would be to avoid mindless snacking.

Hi, I'm Lindsay, from Chicago. I was motivated to join the group because I've been in a pretty good mindset lately and wanted to give myself some extra accountability to keep it up during the holidays. My non-scale goal is to get more sleep - I'm a single mom with almost full custody of 3 school age kids and a full time job, so I get so little time to myself that it's hard to make myself go to bed during that brief period of time when the kids are all asleep and I have a little bit of time to myself.

Hi! I'm from Long Island NY. I am doing this diet bet because I've put on some weight that needs to go! And a NSV I'm working on is feeling better in my clothes.
