    Still here. Jan was a bust. Initial loss but not much more. Just holding steady. Too much job stress.
    But I am still here!
    Today was a new day.
    Tomorrow is one too!

    2. Don't give up even though it's getting harder
    3. Lay off the chips
    4. Drink more water
    5. Stay away from those sweets
    6. I can do this 1 pound at a time

    Not only have I not been making choices to help with weight loss, I have been purposely choosing to eat the garbage and allowing myself to eat to much. Grazing plus meals has become my norm. I just haven't cared, food exercise whatever. But as of this morning I am unofficially up to 202.4 lbs (my normal weigh in is on Wednesday, so maybe I can make some smart choices to remedy that), so whether or not I want to care I need to start doing so again. So today
    1. Paper log all foods ( I didn't weigh out my foods this morning for breakfast or lunch)
    2. No mindless munching or grazing
    3. related to number 2, only eat the foods I brought at work.
    4. brush/floss before bed

    Take two, same thing I need to do every day, until I get it

    So very sorry to hear you have losed a loved one. But you are so right ... going to the gym will actually help with stress, and your loved one would want you to stay healthy. You can do this .... 1 pound at a time. Hugs.

    Glad to see you back! I have had so many "day ones", but that is so much better than giving up. You can do this .... each day is a new day!

    1. Log food :neutral: breakfast, lunch logged; dinner not so much
    2. No unplanned food or grazing while cooking dinner, nope a little bit of both. It's a bad habit I've gotten into that is rather mindless and therefore is hard to make conscientous
    3. brush/floss before bed :neutral: brushed yes, flossed no
    4. foundation light day 1, :( Sat watching Olympics

    I think those same things again plus some chore stuff.

    @aerochic42 A couple tricks I've used are:
    Keep a wet dishcloth right by what you're doing so you can instantly wipe your fingers. A drink nearby can be handy but dangerous too. :)
    Automatically enter 50 cal into your diary. Then you've planned for your nibbles.

    Just one today.no store bought treats. I'll know they'll be around due to the sign from the social committee and I'm not saying no treats just nothing storebought. They don't usually taste that good and aren't worth it.

    since I often just repeat, let's go with weekly goals with daily checkin. actually let's go with a new thought experiment as well. each goal completed is a point with a weekly goal of 30 (I have no idea if that is a good number, but it seems like a good place to start). If I'm really kicking butt I can redefine my goal points. Points are all or none, so say for number 3, any eating of office candy means no point for that day for that goal.
    1. Brush before bed, bonus points for flossing as well
    2. Only one cup of coffee unless it is drunk black and plain.
    3. Only eat the food I brought/planned (that includes no munching while cooking)
    4. at least one office workout a day
