Hi Everyone -
I'm happy to be here. I'm 39, I'll turn 40 in July, and that's got me super motivated and doing a lot of thinking and evaluating. At the moment, I weigh 189, and I've spent my 30's bouncing up and down, gaining and losing, and going through cycles of eating/drinking too much because I was stressed, and then dieting and losing some or all of it, only to go right back to overeating and drinking. So this time I'm focused on the LONG term, on making changes, but also on understanding and addressing the factors and reasons that have lead me to make a choice that might lead to temporary comfort but contributes to a poor future.
I've lost about 12 lbs since the start of this year. I have around 40-50 to go - I'm not totally sure what "goal" weight I'm shooting for, I'll figure it out as I get close.
My goals for March 2019
- take at least 30 minutes of deliberate physical activity daily.
- at least 10,000 steps each day (I use a Fitbit)
- Stronglifts 5 x 5 at least three times each week
- eat at a deficit that will allow for a 1-1.5/week loss (based on weekly average calories)
- log everything I eat, even bites
I'm looking forward to being part of this group. My understanding is that we post daily about our workouts, food, etc and also that we support and encourage the rest of the team, and then that we post our weight each week on our official weigh in day. Mine is Thursday, so is that the first day I should post a weight?

@hkfleming - Welcome to the team! I love your perspective on making long term changes. You can post about whatever you want to share (struggles, victories, questions, motivations, etc). Some post daily re: water, food, exercise. On your weigh in day you post in the following format:
Username
Week number (1-4)
Weigh in day (Thursday for you)
PW: (your weight last weigh in- you won’t have one your first week but could share your starting weight)
CW: (your weight that day)2 -

I am really pleased with this given that I had such a mammoth loss last week I was expecting it to go up or stay the same.
My new sports watch has a step count so if you are needing a contender I can get involved.6 -
Check in for: Sunday
Ate to satisfied: Yes! success
Water: 52 oz
Steps: 10177 steps
Yesterday was a very good day. credit worthy acts, stuck to my 24 hour plan, drank my water, got my steps in, planned the menu for the week, grocery shopped, prepped food, relaxed, took a nap. i had twice yesterday, the urge to eat when i wasn't hungry, i was able to sit with it and just let it pass. it is a work in progress. and i felt great at the end of the day when i could say, i listened to what my body needed and i ate what i wanted to satisfied. Back to work today, it is the beginning of the month, so i have some work to do. i will try and check in later!
@ljdanny it is going to be a struggle with your son. as a mom you are going to want to protect him at all costs. but remember, it is only he that can make the decision to take care of himself. what ever decision he makes will be his decision. you then can decide how to respond. i know it's hard, trust me. but try not to respond until there is something to respond too. hang in there. i am praying for you.
@phoebe112476 i didn't know you read the beck diet solution too. good job. i learned so much from that book. i look forward to seeing your before and after. oopppss never mind. you just posted it!. first of all, you are soo sticking cute at any weight! you can really see the difference. it is amazing look at what your hard work has done. such a great new version of phoebe!!
@Cafelelia love your March goals. you are going to crush this.
@GingerPwr and you pics are just awesome. you can totally see the work you have been putting into this. you are gorgeous madaam.
@hkfleming well welcome to our group. your goals are awesome. have you wrote them down and put them somewhere you can see them every day? and we post daily about anything that comes to mind. i always start with the check in above and then a little about my day and my feelings and what i am doing. then i go on to talk to my team mates. i talk to everyone but that is optional. if you feel you can add something to the persons journey, comment! and yes, thursday is the first day you will weigh in and then every thursday going forward. Post you weigh in like @phoebe112476 commented. and that is the only thing you put in that post. it makes it easier for @sleepymom5 and i to find so we can post it to the spread sheet.
@twyla77 oh you know that is just that fickle scale talking. you have had a lot of high sodium foods as of late. and tom will contribute. if that is all that has changed then i would just stay the course. it is just a normal fluctuation. ohmygosh!! you food for the week looks yummmmmoooo. you are set for success! good job prepping girl. your a rock star! if you don't mind my asking (you don't have to tell if you don't want), what size were you before and what size after? and i agree, the reduction has made a world of difference with my chronic pain.
lol is @sleepymom5 a sleepy mom! get some rest girl. back to work today! did you make your 24 hour plan? up and at em.
@hope002 ohhhh i am so glad we didn't lose you. please do check in before you go next time. they can kick you out of the challenge for not weighing in. just a quick i am going skiing and i will request you be excused! on that note, how was skiing?
@amsandos i ammmm sooooo please too. wooo whoo happy dance all around the room. the dog thinks i am nuts but i told him you lost another pound and he is up doing a jig too!4 -

Sunday check in
Food: Not logging this month but did well.
Water: 48 oz plus coffee - bad day
Exercise: got all my steps in and 30 minutes of yoga!
Yesterday was a pretty good day - really didn't do anything except read, cook, steps and yoga. It's nice to have a day like that once in awhile.
Back to work today and will definitely be getting in more water. I always drink so much at work!
Today is Day 4 of Whole30 - I just need to get through a couple more days and hunger should stabilize. But I am eating SO healthy! That's all that matters right now.
Hope everyone has a great Monday!!6 -
Off to a very late start today. I have to run. I will check in later today.3

Current weight: 204.4
I lost my log in streak, again. This week’s goal is to start logging meals again.3 -
Daily check in: Sunday
Logged: yes, under
Water: at least 80 oz
Steps & exercise: 3 mile Leslie Sansone walking video; 12,622 steps
With it being so cold I'm struggling with my water so that's been my main focus recently. Exercise and food were good yesterday for a change. Sunday's seem to be easy days to eat too much and move too little. LOL
Have a great Monday everyone!!
