    My weekly goal 3 pounds down

    My goal this week is simply to see the scale move down and stay there. It seems whenever I lose a pound or two the scale inevitably jumps back up by two or 3 pounds. I feel like I'm on the same cycle of lose two- gain three- lose two- gain three. I'm ready to get off this merry-go-round…

    ok welcome to those who just joined! The more the merrier! You all have great goals for this week and month and I know you will all achieve them. I have a trip coming up to go back home and I would like to be as low as I can go when I get there. Most members in my family are obese and I am hoping that seeing that someone can do it so can they. Of course without me telling them myself. I just want to set the example. So I am hoping that by July 1st I would be down another 20 lbs. That's 15 lbs between now and then which is very ambitious but totally doable. If I don't reach that goal its ok but its what I am aiming for.

    Now since January I have lost 44 lbs and I did this by eating between 1500 - 1800 calories a day (this changes as my weight changes).....working out 4-6 times a week (6 times for the past 3 weeks), drinking 3 liters of water a day. I walk loads each day I try to get 10000 steps a day on my fitbit. I try to plan my meals for the week and I prelog my food each day so I can make sure I don't steer out of my daily plan. sometimes things get added or subtracted from there.

    Some tools I use are hydro coach which reminds me to drink my water and tells me how much I should drink according to my weight.

    I use mapmyfitness for when I go out for walks which tells you how far you walked for how long and approximately how many calories you burned (but its not accurate)

    I use a fitbit to count steps and the fitbit scale for my weigh ins.

    I use the website skinnytaste.com to find healthy recipes which I use daily.

    I hope some of this helps you all and if you have any tools you use to help you in your journey please share. Anything that can help us please share.

    I'm doing great really keeping motivated I'm on top of my workout and nutrition. I do hope for a change in the scale this week cause it's been a strong one. But...in know that when changes are made in nutrition and excersize the scale may stay the same or even have a little jump. It's happened to me before. Fingers crossed not this time. And if it does its ok.

    How are you doing?

    Welcome. Glad you've joined us we are all here to support each other thru our hardships and praise each other in our successes.

    Something that helped me with late night snacking was not having it around. Don't buy it. Fill up with healthy snacks. Another thing I do is straight after dinner I rush my teeth. Once I do that it's like my mind knows I'm jot eating anymore. I want to keep the fresh breath before bed.

    Great job! For the most part good, today will be the challenge with a work potluck and cinco de mayo dinner tonight with the family, but I have budgeted it out, as long as I stick with it I should be good :)
