@Djou11 & @wyhorzegal
Thanks for the encouragement. It's report card time so I don't have a lot of time for working out. So, instead of beating myself up I've decided to focus on my water intake.2 -

That's a busy morning! Great job getting in a workout.2 -
So I haven't logged a full day in awhile. I start out with good intentions then if I know something will put me over then I stop logging for the day because I don't want to know how many calories I ate. Well today I am proud to say I logged every single thing and stayed in my calories. I'm also potty training my very stubborn little girl who says she wants to potty but sits for hours before she finally potties. So needless to say I haven't had much time for snacking. I am desparate to lose some weight before our vacation on June 22nd. I have to start taking this more serious. I made it under my calories today and I don't feel deprived and I was never starving. I need to keep in my mind that I will still live without a bedtime snack. We will see how the scale looks on Friday.5

Starting weight : 310.4
Week 1 : 311.4 (up one pound -- too much Easter)
Week 2 : 307.6 (a lot more focus this week provides a much better result. Now the trick is to do it two weeks in a row)
Week 3 : 306.6 (a good week of tracking, a little up and down but overall down 1 pound for the week. Looking forward to finishing April strong.)

@aganey one day at time! I know I do several meals all day! Mine takes a little planning but I am never hungry and sometimes I have to make myself eat all my food. Great job tracking, make yourself track even if you go over, so you can go back and see what you did:)
@mlhopp93 Yay! you can finish April strong!
@Ecowles675 great week! whatever your doing this month is really paying off:)

uuggh! I just want to go to mcdonalds and have everything bad! I know I haven't slept for a week, but I have been under in all my stuff on MFP and I have exercised even did extra walks, came to work early and did extra workouts! Drank my water.....I guess it wasn't in the scale this week:( sorry team!
It was my week to do my monthly measurements and I did loss another -7 inches this month, so I that is good.
Me talking to myself "I will stay focused, I will still meet my goals, I am working towards a positive lifestyle change, I can do this!" haha ok some what better now!
Hope everyone has a great day!2 -

@wyhorzegal I will have to see if I can find the article I read recently that talks about the importance of sleep in relation to weight loss. It basically said that if you don't get enough sleep you will struggle to lose weight. I find that when my sleep is on point (consistent and enough!) the weight comes off much easier.

@djou11 thanks! Keto is great! I had symptoms of the "flu" a few days in but they went away. I just got back from a trip to San Francisco with my hubs and kids and I didn't cheat at all, even used the hotel gym. Pretty proud about it! I am feeling pretty energized too!2

Trying to figure out what Keto is. Is it like Atkins low carb eating from years ago? Sounds like a lot of people are on it. I've tried researching it - any good sites to read up on it?0 -
@WA_Teacher oh how I admire people like you that can work with kids on a daily basis without going nuts lol I wouldn't be able to. You are doing good focus on small daily goals
@aganey oh potty training is tough I'm dreading having to start training my middle one in a month or so ... In terms of logging food I know it is hard to log it consistently but it actually helps. That way when you get to the evening you see exactly where you're at calorie wise. Try to find low calorie snacks that you like that you can go to quick when you have that urge to eat at night. My go to is peanut butter, I grab a small tsp and just eat that and it satisfy my cravings.
@mhopp93 great steady loss Have yourself a great week too and yeah for finishing April strong !!
@ecowles675 way to crush that 100 lbs loss you are dedicated and it is inspiring to watch you go ❤️
@wyhorzegal don't beat yourself up ... You are having major non-scale victory. I know this challenge is geared on the scale results but 7 inches loss that is AMAZING!!
sorry it's gross but that is how drastic the difference is ... inches loss is a big WIN !!
also like @Ecowles675 said sleep plays a huge role in weight loss too. Sleep deprivation messes up your hormones here is a WebMD article about the hormones disruption. https://www.webmd.com/diet/sleep-and-weight-loss#1
@kafsha25 I know you can do it ... reach the 100's by the end of April stay focus and dive into those goals!!
@stacybaker707 that's awesome I'm happy it's working well for you ... I must have been doing something wrong as I had zero energy and never had that great loss that everyone seems to get the first few weeks. Keep it up it's working for you!! ps I had bought 4 cook books that I'd be happy to share if you're interested send me a private email i'll try to send them to you:)
@JulieAL1969 yes I think it's pretty similar to Atkins with a few little differences. I would refer to it as the bacon and eggs diet(I know it sounds good said like that but not all the time lol ). It's high fat, moderate protein and low carb in a ratio of fat 75%, protein 20% and carb 5% (that is like a total net grams of carb between 15-25g ideally, 1 medium banana has 23g net carbs).
Good resources are Dr Eric Berg on youtube or fb (has tons of video explaining the science behind it) and also Thomas Delauer on youtube has great info.

Hey All,
I had a good weigh in this week but leave tomorrow for a cruise! I am trying to come up with a strategy to keep from gaining! Any suggestions?
Starting Weight: 189
April:
Week 1 (April 01): 176. 4
Week 2 (April 06):174.3
Week 3 (April 12): 172.8
Week 4 (April 20): 170.1
Have a great weekend all!2 -
Oh, also, I bought a bathing suit that I have been eyeing for months from Sundance catalogue! A splurge for sure! The thing is that it is a medium - size 8-10! I am currently a 14! It is backordered till mid-july so I wont have to try it on till then! More motivation to lose! I went shopping yesterday and it was the first time in literally years that I tried on clothes and like them! Even pants and shorts! I don't think I have worn shorts in 10 years...I prefer skirts as they cover more. I am now a large rather than xl - cant wait to get to a medium! It has been way too long!3

@lacatgirl great losses! I just went on a trip with my family and I found really great options thst didn't make me feel guilty. Of course, i'm doing keto so i am ok with eating fried things. Are you allowed to bring food? Maybe pack some yummy healthy snacks?2

I'm personally trying to get to a size 8 by October for my bestie's wedding. I'm a 12ish right now (sometimes 14), and I know it's doable!!!!3
