Another 2lbs down this week 💪 Almost into the 150s. I seem to be consistently losing 2lbs every week which I’m happy with. 23lbs down, 14lbs to go...I CAN do this 😃💪💫
Don’t be so hard on yourself. It happens to all of us. Just refocus. And be kind to yourself. Hugs.thelandkraken wrote: »Weekly weigh in

Gosh, this is awful. I think TOM has something to do with it, but I'm pretty disheartened.
Feel better. Nice lossUsername: rosina89

Unfortunately I badly sprained my foot and ankle on Thursday whilst dancing away at a wedding. This is prohibiting the amount of exercise I can do which is frustrating as I am on a walking holiday in Wales.
So instead I'm being really careful with my eating hopefully it will be a better weight loss next week.Username: nbatch456

I've been on a bit of a plateau the last couple of weeks. Hopefully this is movement in the right direction.
I've been working on a major software project for the last few weeks. Phase 1 "go live" date was today with a tough group to please. I worked all weekend checking all the details and making sure everything was a go. I expected today to be a madhouse with questions, etc. Not a peep.......so far. I can't believe it. My nerves are much more settled today than they were yesterday.
It can be so hard on days like these. I usually give up chocolate for lent (this year I did not) and Easter comes and I eat all the chocolate I want. Lol. But you got this.I am trying to figure out how I am going to handle this coming weekend.... We will be having a major food fest for Easter, with all the family together and all the kids together... Appetizers, egg hunt, delicious big dinner, tons of desserts..... chocolate everywhere....
It's gonna be difficult to rein in the cramming of food into the face.... I don't want to sabotage myself and and my goal, but at the same time, I want to enjoy myself and maybe not do so much calorie counting. The issue is that I am a snacker and a grazer. I won't sit down with a plate full. I will walk by and grab one or two things. But I will do that all day. I don't even remember half the times I do it, because I am running on automatic. Maybe chasing a kid, or heading to talk to someone, and I just grab a cookie or chips or fruit, or nachos, or whatever happens to be near me, on the way.
Hoping I can push for a big loss this week, and then if I overeat on the weekend, and have a small or no loss next week, it won't be too bad....Gadgetgirl259 wrote: »Username: Gadgetgirl259

🔆Comments: My appetite wasn’t that good today for some reason so I was quite a bit under my calories 😞 I was feeling a bit stressed with things today so that probably played a part. I done my food shop today and I plan on making my own coronation chicken salad wraps for lunch tomorrow. I’ve never made them before, so hopefully they turn out good 🤞2 -

Exercise: 13,800 steps
I got about 11,000 steps in at work today. I then did a 21 minute cardio workout on the treadmill with the ifit personal trainer. It was a tough workout........I was yelling at the app to slow down. The treadmill was inclined at times and got up to 2.8 mph. My heart rate was up to 146 at times. I'm proud of myself for just finishing. It was the 1st workout in a series but I'm not going to progress to the next one until I can handle this one better.

Still eating Keto and really loving it. Joined a Keto group where the leader of the group has lost 100 lbs doing Keto and really helps you understand how to eat and track you macros. It is so easy once you know what you're doing. It is my new way of eating (WOE). I have lost 11 pounds so far jut since Feb 7th.3 -

Tough week. TOM had some to do with it, but so did sugar intake. I can not eat sugar, it cause almost immediate inflammation and weight gain. But it is so hard to resist! If I stop for a couple weeks, I can stay away from it for months, then one dessert at a special occasion sends me into a sugar spiral again.
I am headed out to camp in the woods this morning. We have our meals carefully planned, so I should be able to stick to the game plan.
It will break my streak though, I hate doing that, but turning off electronics for a few days is much healthier for my mental state.

🤼♀️🏋️♀️ HAPPY TUESDAY TEAM SLIMSONS🤼♂️🏋️♂️
MOTIVATIONAL TIP: POWER OF GREEN TEA
"Green tea contains bioactive substances like caffeine and EGCG, which can have powerful effects on metabolism.
Compounds in green tea increase levels of hormones that tell fat cells to break down fat. This releases fat into the bloodstream and makes it available as energy" Retrieved from articles https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/green-tea-and-weight-loss#how-it-works
As you know I've been drinking my tea after 5pm and it has helped tremendously with my cravings. I no longer have powerful thoughts of cookies, cakes or ordering fast food late at night.
Remember this is just a suggestion we all have to walk our own pathways on this journey.
Have a blessed and productive day! 🌞😃4 -

Track: Nope.
Calories: Probably not.
Exercise:Also nope.
Comments: I'd feel guilty but I feel pretty great. Was a freeing day. Tomorrow I'm starting my new workout plan and food strategy so took today as one day where there weren't a lot of rules, still ate Keto, just ate what I felt like......
Proud of you. One of the key elements of our lifestyles change is listening to our bodies anfmd knowing when we have to take a break. You've been at this for so long you need to change things up and you're listening to what your body is twlling you so of course you're going to feel free and relax. Go girly!🌞👍🏾👌🏾 I cannot wait to gwt to that stage.2 -

I remember reading an article earlier this week on something like this. His advice for events such as these is to minimize your calories throughout the week so you can have extra calories on the weekend. I tried it last week when I wanted my homemade fast food knowing I was going to go over and my results were still good, they weren't phenomenal but at least I lost.
Hopes this helps 👍🏾1 -

I'm glad your nerves are settled as stress can be a major factor in our weight loss or gain. So congrats on moving the scale in your favor👌🏾👍🏾1 -

Volleyball is over and Saturday was the drama play so that's now over too! Yay!! Yesterday was a day of catching up on things I've been neglecting for the last few months. I can finally start focusing a little more on my health and fitness. I feel a load of stress has been lifted. Hoping this is a positive start to a healthier me!
YES IT IS A POSITIVE START TO A NEW YOU. That's one of keys to your new lifestyle change is staying positive no matter what situation you're in. I know it's easier said than done but with practice we all can get there. Praying for your success as always👌🏾👍🏾0 -

Don't be disheartened remember to stay focus on your journey and be positive. Yeah sometimes the scale is not in our favor but I bet if you measure yourself you'll see you lost a few inches and that's progress and itself. YOU GOT THIS💪🏽💪🏽👍🏾👍🏾0 -

I used my new treadmill for the first time today. It is a NordicTrack and came the ifit app. It was really strange following along with a personal trainer while the app controlled the treadmill. I almost fell the first time it changed speeds on me because I wasn't expecting it. That thing had me moving ....my heart rate was up to 120 at one point. I then did a slower walk followed by a few minutes on the bike. I didn't get my usual amount of steps in today but that was a much more intense workout.
Wow I could only imagine, just be careful but sounds like you enjoyed your workout.0 -

I'm bummed that my weight didn't change but I'm feeling better in my body and clothing. I have to remind myself that the scale is only ONE way to measure success.
Have a great week everybody!
You're doung so awesome and sometimes it won't change but you've been tearing up this competition so don't beat yourself up STAY POSITIVE and try measuring your inches I bet you drop a few and that's something to celebrate!0
