I'll be joining.....again!!! Hoping I've got my healthy eating and exercise mojo back, it's been seriously lacking.3

Need some accountability and motivation. This group looks like just the thing. Getting the vibe back to eat more intentionally and get moving more. Was at 146 and after a tough family summer gained 6 and now need to drop 16 instead of ten. Looking to go from 155 to 139.4
-
Not entirely sure what one has to do to be a part of this accountability thread, but I'm looking to gradually drop about 8 pounds (from 118ish to 110 - I'm built very small and have verified that this is not an unhealthy goal). I'd like to lose 4 of those pounds in September through exercise and meal prep.1

You don't have to do anything specific @Ree13x. We simply post regular weigh-ins (weekly or bi-weekly, whatever suits) and try to support each other. Some of us set monthly goals too. Have a look kn the August thread in this group

I'm with you here. Been seriously lacking. My run on Weds morning was cancelled in favour of coffee given the torrential rain. In my defence I would have had to put wet trainers in a suitcase for several hours if I had gone for that run, and I didn't fancy smelly trainers

Sounds great! I'll post my starting stats tomorrow morning. This sounds like it'll be wonderful for accountability. great idea!1

Whoop for 169. I know it's not what you wanted necessarily but let's be fair, you've been really busy so I think it's a great place to start for September!

I can't believe it's September already! Well this month is going to come with a big move, the start of school, and the end of a job. After the middle of the month I won't have access to a treadmill, so I will need to get my butt outside for my cardio. Ahhhh! This last week has been OK with food. Suprisingly I didn't gain while mom or while hottie was in town! I was way more aware of what I was eating. But AFTER they left I had 3 nights of celebration eating 2,200 calories and more. Luckily I think I caught myself before it got too out of control. It's funny how I've noticed, that I binge not just when I'm sad but when I'm happy too! I was excited to have the house to myself again and I went overboard. Anyways, I'm back on the train again after a few big cheat meals. Looking forward to crushing our September goals together! @rianneonamission you are such a huge motivation for me. I'm just trying to stay on your level thank you to those of you that noticed my loss last month!!! It feels great!
(P.s. I miss hottie Mc hottie soooo much, can't wait until the next time we see each other!)

Hey ladies!
Happy September!
Things really started going my way in the end of August. I'm not sure how much was actual weight and how much was water weight as early August had me eating a lot of high sodium food and drinking a lot, but either way it's nice to see some progress!
We're back into a normal routine in my house so eating well and working out are a lot easier. I'm not sure how next week will go for workouts as I work a second job in the evenings sometimes and I have a lot of shifts next week. Fitting in workouts time-wise could be challenging but I'll just do what I can. I've really been enjoying working out more again so I'd like to keep it up.
Welcome to all the new ladies! It's nice to have a community to help with motivation.
@2tall4thisworld - Sorry to hear your boy's gone. It's tough when you don't see them regularly. And I totally find I only overeat when I'm happy. I'm not a sad eater, I'm a celebratory eater. The summers are hard for me cause I'm pretty much always happy all summer so I just want to sit on patios and eat delicious food and drink all the drinks. I'm also more active so I'm always sure I deserve to eat and drink whatever I want all the time. In the winter I'm much more subdued. Great work on your August loss! You've been killing it!
Can't wait to hear about everyone else's months!4 -
I would love to track things here. I'm aiming for around 1/2 lb a week loss. Losing slowly on purpose is hard. Maybe some support would help. I've only ever starved myself down and then failed!

My first weigh in of the month is disappointing, I'm 139.4lb today. I'm struggling so much with losing, I wish I didn't care what the scales say, but I do, it's not just that though, I am still unhappy with my below waist section. I guess I just need to persevere.

Struggles: just getting my head back in the game after the holiday
Successes: I did log and work out but not to the level of which I know I need to maintain.
Upcoming week plan: Stick to the trading plan and the food plan I have laid out.
@rianneonamission the cleanse was just to shock my body of the excess' that were my vacation. I am back to being sensible again.0 -

Revised September Goal 164.0
Ugh, I was dreading posting this...I really didn't want to admit to my over eating. 2 days turned into 5 days which turned into a whole week of over eating... I'm embarrassed. I feel like I let myself down, and I'm also embarrassed to share it with you all. I'd be lying if i said I didn't care what other people thought of me. I did have a non scale victory over the weekend. I climbed really well. And I am in some of the best climbing shape of my life. I was on a total high of feeling so strong after my climbing session, that I decided to celebrate again with a ton of food....
I'm frustrated with myself. I was feeling good a couple of weeks ago, and it's like for some reason I decided to undo what I worked so hard for. Almost as if because I hit 167, I deserved to eat whatever I wanted. The reality is 167 was only half way to my long term goal. I think my ego go too inflated. I'm not sure whats up with me. I want to get it in check though. These weight spikes really make me feel out of control.0 -
@2tall4thisworld : Please don't beat yourself up. The mental part of this journey is the hardest. We have all been there. It's not about perfection. For me, it's a series of recoveries. Forgive yourself and be kind. Imagine what you would tell a friend in this predicament. Give yourself the same courtesy. You are doing so well!! Hugs from afar.

@2tall4thisworld: Don't beat yourself up. You'll be fine. Once you switch back to a normal diet it will drop off. You'll probably find that a fair amount is water weight given that bad foods tend to be high in sodium. And follow what @bringbackthejoy has said in her post.
@bringbackthejoy, I know what you mean about shocking your body after excesses.
Welcome all you newbies! Seems that people are starting September off well!
I was relatively good at the weekend, but it was my birthday on Monday and I ate too much, drank too much (cocktails), and as a result I weighed 170.6 yesterday morning. But I was good yesterday in terms of calories (not healthy options, but certainly under my calorie goal) and as a result I have managed to drop back to pre-holiday weight, so although only a small loss I am happy.
PT tonight, hopefully a run on Thursday. Then Friday off prepping for a party at ours on Saturday. I'd best be good to make up for Saturday damage limitation...

Nothing disappointing about a flat week. After all, you haven't put on! What's up with your below waist section? My middle part (abdomen and back) is my problem area and I'm desperate to lose fat around there. It's hard though, so be kind to yourself as it will make the whole process easier!1 -
Whether you've gained or stayed the same, there's nothing you guys can't come back from because you know what to do. You're doing it. It's just the sucky truth of time that is sapping your energy. It's times like these that the other stuff, the NSVs, become the most important.
September/October are going to be tough months, no buts about it, if you want to indulge in Thanksgiving/Christmas treats, this is where we work. I have faith in you all because I haven't seen people more committed to working their butts off and sharing it each week. You're alls 5 -

I'm a little confused because I thought I already posted this... but oh well! September is a big month for me - I have a ton of things going on at work, Sept. 30 is my 2 year anniversary and marks the 1 year count-down to my wedding! I just started my first year of Graduate School for my Masters in Public Health this month, and going to school part time while working full time is EXHAUSTING. My goal this month is to not lose my head - I need to continue eating healthy and re-start my workout program now that my knee is almost fully healed from an injury last month. I worry a bit about my food planning, since I will need to pack breakfast, lunch AND dinner for several days a week and pre-cook about 3 dinners a week to be micro-wave ready. That is very new to me, and I struggle a lot to get myself to eat microwaved foods. If anyone has recipes to recommend for this - I'd love to hear!
I hope everyone is doing well - your stories continue to inspire me and fill me with determination to get *kitten* DONE. To everyone that slipped up at the end of this month and the beginning of this month - I'm in the same boat! Too many "cheat" meals/days! We've got this though - lets stay focused on the end goal!4 -

Happy September!
I was supposed to check-in yesterday but the day got away from me. I’m up a little bit but we had a staff party on Sunday with a lot of beer and food so I’m not worried about it. It all fit within my weekly calorie goal and I got right back on track afterwards, so I just have to wait for the water weight to drop off.
I’ve been trying to workout as much as I can. I’ve been aiming for HIIT twice a week and interval running (C210K) twice a week. Some weeks I don’t quite make all of them but I do my best. I work a lot of extra shifts this week so time will be tight. I might not be able to workout as much as I’d like, but I’ll do what I can.
@mrssunshine78 – The only thing you can do is keep at it. Change will come with time but you can’t force it happen on your schedule. Keep making ‘green-light choices’ (that’s what they call positive choices at my nephew’s school) and you’ll get there when your body’s ready.
@briannanagell08 – Great job on getting so close to your goal! You’re almost there!
@bringbackthejoy – It’s always hard to get back into things after a holiday. You’ll get there though, just give it some time and keep logging!
@2tall4thisworld – Like we said on your status comments, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. We’ve all been there and completely understand. You can’t change the past, just work on making the next decision and only worry about that one. Then worry only about the next one. It’s just a collection of individual decisions and you have to take them one and time. You’ll get there. You have all the time you need.
@rianneanamission – Happy Birthday!! Indulging on your birthday is totally acceptable and encouraged really. It sounds like you’ve been good at indulging while keeping your goals in mind which is a huge win!
@RMC1995 – Sounds like you’ve got a lot going on girl! Congrats on starting your masters! I hear you on the “pack all 3 meals and make them all microwavable”. It sucks but it can be done. I usually just made a big batch of something for supper one of the nights I was home and then took the leftovers for the rest of the days. For breakfast, oatmeal or overnight oats worked well, and for lunches I would try to bring snacky things, like raw veggies, cheese slices, farmers sausage, hard boiled eggs, yogurt cups, different fruit, crackers, dried fruits and nuts, stuff like that. Then I could just grab something out of my bag when I had a minute and eat whenever I had time/felt hungry. Some things I would have more around breakfast time, some more toward dinner, but I just made sure I had enough food that I always had something if I felt hungry or snacky. I would weigh all the things as I was packing them and just log them all under lunch and not worry about having to control portions or anything. I knew that everything I packed was accounted for and I could just pull out and eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted.
Good luck this week girls! We got this!

My below waist area is where I carry my fat, it is starting to go, but I'm just impatient!!2 -
@2tall4thisworld my weight is up and down all of the time, I get to a good weight and then relax and it goes back on, I really struggle with it too. Please don't be embarrassed about gaining, by putting it 'on paper' so to speak at least you're admitting it and now you can move on.1
