I’m in the same boat, totally c*cked up and asked everyone here for help!
Maybe we can start again together, so far I’ve done okay (day 2) but it trails off quick and that’s where I need to be kept on track
We can do this! We’ll never be where we want to if we don’t try!
I will try please connect so we can do this together. I’ve been logging but I either do not eat enough or I eat the wrong things.
You need to give me you want to exercise.
@AJB1014 great win. I miss working with DH we did for 26 years and then things changed and we moved now have separate type jobs I miss my best friend. As I think about that it could be a factor
@Lindsaykathryn would love to be your friend- inspirational quotes are what I need
@monstersweetsbyallison good luck you can do this what a great goal
@Snowflake1968 we could try to eat slower as a group and see how we can inspire each other2 -

@Bex953172 great success posting here and more water. What is you cal goal
Thanks, my cal goal is 1200.
Although I tend to eat (on average) around 1400-1500 and exercise off the rest
What’s yours?
My diary is always open so feel free to take a look to see what sort of things I eat if that helps?
What would you say your worst foods are? Mines definitely chocolate and things like potato and bread. And I’ve written a list and a list of alternatives on the other side. So when I feel like one of them I have one of my alternatives.
Also, what sort of exercises do you like doing? And where do you do them? Gym, outside, home?
I’ve found, the best chance of success is to evaluate what it is your problems are. Specifically.
And then you can work on the things that are holding you back.
Everyone’s journey on here is different, we’re all just working towards the same goal
For example for some people on here, drinking enough water is just second nature, but for me I HAVE to make myself drink it.
You can do it, and we can help
But you’ve got to also want to do it, we can’t lose the weight for you unfortunately!
But we can certainly give you a kick up the butt to get you going!
It’s all about forming a habit.
Oh and doing something like exercising on the day you REALLY don’t want to, actually gives you a greater sense of achievement and makes you feel even better!!2 -
Mmmmmmm
Beautiful colors!
I overdid it today volunteering at the thrift store and am now feeling it in my ankle. Instead of knocking out the apartment cleaning, I'm sitting with it elevated on a pillow like an invalid while I wait for the swelling and pain to subside. Gah. So frustrating.2 -

Ouch, you got any ice on it?
Definitely more important to rest it!
Also, is a thrift store the same as a UK charity shop?0 -

Probably? The one I was working at is operated by the local Lutheran church and all the money raised goes to the different programs they run: for the homeless, the hungry, and there's also a single parent support network. The items that are donated that aren't saleable are given to Big Brothers and Alice's Closet which supplies free warm clothing to the homeless.
ETA: And I don't have ice, but I DO have a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables! LOL0 -
June Challenge:
22: hurt my hand, ate 3 biscuits
23: general stress, didn’t snack out of anger but calmed down first and then had 3 biscuits. Calming down first allowed me to enjoy the treat and I didn’t inhale them, I just slowed down, dipped them in my cup of tea and I’m happy at just 3 2 -
@Bex953172, Good job not eating your emotions, but calmly deciding to have a treat! It's so different when we "decide" vs just reacting mindlessly, isn't it?2

Honestly if I really think about why I want to eat them so terribly, it's because I'm emotionally eating, I'm not hungry I'm lonely and bored. I'm going to drink some water and get some fresh air! And hopefully this is the last time I have to post something to distract myself for today.
So, how'd you do???!!!
Oh my goodness, I can not tell a lie! I gave into temptation. The truth is I ate them and went in the red. At first I just ate 2 then I went along my way. Then before bed I ate the last 2!! I wanted to wait until today to eat them but I wasn't strong this time. Today I'm trying my best to make my JFT goals again. I'm not letting yesterday's failure get to me today.1 -
