⭐️Daily Post: Monday 6 May
✅Track: Yes
✅Calories: Under
✅Exercise: Not much today apart from 3x10 with dumbbells.
💬Comments: Because I done quite well this week with the weight loss, I treated myself to a new foundation I had been wanting for a while now. A long time ago I would have rewarded myself with food but now I have a little list of non-food items that I can treat myself to. It gives me something to look forward to 😃4 -

Weight loss is slowing....
I assume, though, that whatever I lose now is fat as opposed to water weight so that's encouraging. I'm also exercising more than I probably should for a low carb plan so if the weight loss continues to stall I will dial it back. Will reassess in 2 weeks. On a side note, when you see me do extra workouts (more than one), it's because I'm a workout buddy to more than one person and I'm trying to be helpful and accommodating! Hopefully being helpful doesn't have an effect on my own goals.
I went for my first run for the season, yesterday. It was a beautiful day!

Made today a light eating day. I am going out to eat on Wednesday, so I am trying to compensate for the extra calories by eating less earlier in the week. I guess we will see what happens!!3 -

Being on a low carb diet shouldn't cause you to limit how much you work out.1 -

@aadubb I eat low carb (less than 20g a day) and I lift weights an hour 5 days a week and walk for at least 6 days a week for an hour, low carb won't hinder exercise, maybe in the beginning, you'll feel sluggish until your body gets used to low carbs, but your body will adapt...believe me.2 -

Today actually felt like my normal (used to be normal) routine and it felt so good. Kept my calories in check and also was able to get in a workout. It was a weight workout day, which isn’t my favorite, but I’m looking to retain muscle while losing so it’s necessary. Today was a good day.2 -

Yesssss! I swore I was eating 4oz of steak. Weighed it.... 2.4oz 😒😒... but everything else I do the opposite.2 -
What day, week, time frame has been the toughest for you?
What are you currently struggling with?
My toughest so far was day 2. By far. I wanted to give up right away. Buy now I have so many people cheering me on I feel like I can do this.
Currently struggling with how unfair it takes so long to lose weight. Whyyyyy isn't it easy

In my low carb plan I'm SUPPOSED to lose 4 to 5lbs per week and the workouts might hinder that. So my attempt to reduce my workouts is mainly to keep that 4 to 5lb loss consistent.
Good to know that the sluggishness I feel from my workouts MAY improve. I have energy issues anyway so I wouldn't hold my breath until those issues improve anyway.0 -

Being on a low carb diet shouldn't cause you to limit how much you work out.
Based on my plan I'm only supposed to do LIGHT workouts.
But I like connecting with my friends and colleagues so hopefully I won't have to charge anything. Will see how I do in the next few weeks!

REFUSE TO STRESS STAYING POSITIVE DESPITE MISHAPS4 -
Morning all,
I am a returning member I started in April and it didn't go to plan.
Unfortunately due to chocolate and hurting my foot I did not lose any weight.
My goals this month:
1. To home cook all my food so that I can ensure that I can log accurately.
2. To exercise as much as I can with my foot.
3. To lose some weight.
Target:
To get below 200lb
Yay I've hit my May target.
Awesome keep it up0 -

Trying not to let my small weight loss affect me too much. No idea what my problem was this weekend, but I just blew it. Had a lot going on, but that shouldn't get me eating that much more. I guess all I can do is move on, and try harder to control myself this week. Hope the weekend went well for everyone. See you in the AM.
Continue to stay positive no matter what and you will get through the tough spots0 -

I knew yesterday would be a bust because it was a family meal out, but I don’t think it will stall me too much if I’m good the rest of the week.1 -

Awesome keep it up and being a buddy hold you accountable as well so it works both way.1 -
Reminder that if you're counting your calories - always weigh your food, even if (especially if!) it's prepackaged. I had a snack bag of popcorn that said one serving is one bag (17g) and was 80 calories. On a whim, I measured, and it turned out the amount of popcorn was 32g, nearly double! I know 80 calories isn't a huge difference, but measuring your food is important!
