Hi Everyone! Missed my weekly Checkin last week as I have been a little under the weather but happily on the mend!
Welcome back to our new contributors, and @AbandondedKSCharger what a weekend for you and your dear family. Very pleased you all stayed safe!
I have now been back for 48 days and good news, I am starting to get into good habits;
Log my diary, yep, only missed 2 days
Drink water, yep, most days I hit 8 cups
Binge days, needs more work as I still seem to have 1 every 7 or 8 days, BUT, they are nowhere near as high in calories as they used to be.
Exercise, walking is my only type of exercise right now and it continues to be a bit of a struggle, I had hoped to walk 5 out of 7 days. Still work to do on that. However, I am walking rather than sitting in my chair and playing on the Internet , oops, right that is what I am doing right now 🤪.
Weight loss. Down 8 pounds so I really happy about that, my ‘fat clothes finally fit rather than making me feel like a stuffed sausage. Next goal is to have loose ‘fat’ clothes, yep, I have lots of weight to get off!
Weekends are a challenge for me, as well, as many of our wise and successful members above say, plan, plan, plan! What works for me is to enter my diary every morning so I know what wiggle room have for the day, it keeps me under control better than entering at the end of day. Also, it helps plan some food that I enjoy but may be high in calories,
Always looking for active, supportive friends, so friend me if you wish.
Look luck on the weekend everyone. I started with small steps this time rather than the ‘ be perfect and it is all or nothing’ attitude. So far, so good!
Cheers!

Wow @AbandondedKSCharger - very traumatic weekend. Think you are doing great, all things considered. Life will get in our way--you are doing right thing by not beating yourself up and getting back on it.
Walking is my main excercise @Mariang165. I try, most days, for 2 thirty minute walks. Usually get 30 in the morning before work and same at lunch (morning is usually on my treadmill). Going to try for 20,000 steps tomorrow--we will see how energetic I am.
And remember-we all restart this each morning when we get up!2 -
Hahah I'm the same trying to lose 14 pounds this year let motivate each other!3

My current loss is a reloss also. But--since i lost it the first time, I know I can lose it again!2

6/3
Dropped down to 192! Seeing the scale go down is what motivates me. I now look forward to going to the 80's. Last night I found myself thinking about being about 140 by my 60th birthday. It's possible!!! Boy would that stun my husband But more importantly for me, what an example for my children. Especially my daughter who has always had to struggle more then me. It breaks my heart.
Looking forward to another week of good choices and seeing everyone else's results. Remember, some weeks aren't as generous as others, but we keep keeping on
@Mariang165 and @ginnytez Thank you. We are very fortunate.2 -
Feel free to add me0

Same here, trying again, this time with success!1

Well, two steps forward one step back.
Up 1 pound from last week.
Checked in at 193. My goal was to be at 191 at the end of May...….188 at the end of June.
I did weigh in a little later then normal, and after eating my morning snack...….but I don't think that would make the difference.
I'm not frustrated though because I know I am making progress.
Sticking to it.
Hope you all have a great week!

Hello! I'm 39, married for 16 years, have 2 active boys and trying to do my best to up my health game in the last 4 months before I turn 40 (eeek). Please feel free to add me. I've been on here for years but I've not been active for a while. I'm trying to get my groove back.😉3

Hang tough @AbandondedKSCharger -you are still making progress and making changes!
Welcome @SteshaNicole -you can get back in the groove. Being active can help.1 -
@ginnytez The way I feel today I can't wait to weigh in again on Monday. Now to make it through the weekend feeling this way.1

You keep going @AbandondedKSCharger -you can make it through the weekend. And no matter what the scale says, we keep working and we will get there! (might just take a few detours here and there!)2

191.4
Getting down a little more again. Feels good. My May goal was 191, so I've met that. My end of June goal is 188. Hope to get close, if not .. maybe even make it I start water aerobics on Thursday, then next week it will be twice a week. I could have been lower today if I would have exercised this weekend, but I did not get my 20 minutes of intentional exercise in. Planned on it several times, but didn't make it happen.
Have a great week and I wish everyone lots of luck to avoid doing this again the 89th time

Started MFP 6yrs ago , had great results lost 80lbs. A hip injury set me back. Went back to my bad eating habits. Gain all the weight back plus some. Tried 4-5 times since then. Looking for some good friends. All friend request are welcomed. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE !!!3

Teri-we will not start again for the 89th time--we will get to maintenance and maintain!
Physical issues can set us back, but eating at deficit will do it regardless of activity!1 -

I am also looking for friends to encourage and support. Let's make this the last time we are "losing." I am so ready for this.2

Hey everybody! I see lots of enthusiasm, support and progress here. Keep up the good work!!2
