I have also started a 100 day challenge group called - '100 Days to a Better You' - another challenge if anyone here would like to join.0

How often are we logging our weight? Weekly? When we have noticed a loss and want to share it?0

Down .8lbs over last week. Part of me wishes for more, but it's going the right way, and I know it will take time. I am also happy that I tracked every day last week except for one, and where improvements can be made. So all is good!
Update update!

I lost a pound this week. I could have done a lot better. I need to stay accountable, more. I really want to be down to 199 by my birthday, which is just after Easter.

I'm in! I am looking to lose the baby weight from our third little one! It seemed so easy with the first two, but struggling this time. I have discovered my thyroid wasn't functioning properly, so I am on a supplement and finally am seeing some weight loss! We can do this!!

I'm noticing a lot of positive weight lose updates ...but what is everybody eating..are you exercising too. Need more input because I'm struggling on the weekends. I do good during the week, but crash on Saturday and Sunday. And not to mention I really need to start moving more.0

Have anybody tried smoothies to lose a few pounds?????0

@krb308 Activity level: I have a desk job and typically sit for 8 hours a day during the week, BUT....I recently got a stand up desk so I'm atleast standing most of the day now, even if no steps are involved. Looking at my FitBit it looks like I average about 6,000 steps a day. I don't go home and do any extra exercise, just make dinner, load dishwasher, etc. In the past I would add in vigorous exercising soon after starting a "diet" and then would get discouraged that I wasn't loosing 15 pounds a week (because I felt like I was putting forth SO MUCH effort). This time my plan is to get my eating under control and loose a little weight, then start walking on the treadmill while watching TV, and by the time it's warm out again (around June) I'm hoping to be jogging a couple times a week. This is how I need to do it to keep my brain happy and not jump off this train again.
Food: I do end my day with a shake (Vanilla Greek yogurt frozen in ice cube trays. I then blend the Greek yogurt, Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk, half of a banana, and powdered peanut butter until you can drink it through a straw. I HAVE TO have peanut butter to stay on track and not binge, so this shake does the trick). That's the only "smoothie" I have really been eating. I also make pudding by mixing sugar free pudding (chocolate, lemon and banana are the best...but not all mixed together ) with 1 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk and 1/2 cup (or a little more) Vanilla Greek Yogurt. If you don't add the yogurt then it's really soupy/liquid.
Typical day looks like:
Breakfast: Quest Protein bar (makes me WANT to drink my 4 glasses of plain water, has quite a bit of fiber, and the Double Chocolate Chunk is pretty good)
Lunch: can of chicken or piece of grilled salmon with a couple servings of veggies and a serving of Skinny Pop Popcorn
Snack: 2 servings of pudding as described above and fruit (from the water)
Dinner: Peanut butter/banana smoothie (as explained above)
I always add one other thing to eat based on what I want (i.e. sliced fresh apples for a morning snack).
Fluids: I drink 4 glasses of plain water, 4 glasses of water with some fruit in it (1/2 cup mangos or 1/4 cup blueberries is what I usually do, and then eat the fruit when I'm done with the water and log the fruit), and recently I started also drinking 2 glasses of hot water with a bag of green tea. I do occasionally have black coffee or diet cherry pepsi.
Just an idea of what I do. I've lost 3 pounds each the last couple weeks, but keep in mind I'm also over 270 pounds
Good luck!0 -

Hi there! For me, making sure I'm walking most days helps. I also weigh on Sunday mornings which keeps me in check on Saturdays.I'm noticing a lot of positive weight lose updates ...but what is everybody eating..are you exercising too.
