Daily Post - Saturday (5/4)
Track: Yes
Calories: under, Limit: 1500/Actual: 1242
Water: 32 cups
Exercise: Zombies, Run! (From the Ashes - 34 minutes, walked additional to reach an hour; Walking on Broken Glass - 40 minutes); 12,166 steps
Day: The voices were loud as I tried to eat calling me piggy and other things. I ignored them as best I could and finished my breakfast anyways. There were other tactile things today like feeling like I was covered in dirt. I have had my moments of feeling normal though. The walking helped as usual. Been hooking (crocheting) today as well. I went through and got out all my small clothes because I'm a 24W now. It's time to stop wearing clothes hanging off of me. I completed my chapter I was supposed to read today and will write the report tomorrow, due to the symptoms it took a bit. I may be struggling, but I'm not giving up.2 -
Daily Post (Saturday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: 90 mins of cardio
Goal/Day: Today was the 1st day of a 21 day challenge my bootcamp is doing. It isn't as bad as I thought it would be when I was told participants had to follow a strict meal plan. The meal plan is surprisingly okay, it's almost the same as I was already eating, except I'll miss having some lean beef. Well time to relax and enjoy watching the Lion King 🤗1 -

One thing I did well: Adjusted my calories to allow a little more to prevent binging. 1600 calories 2x/ week, then the rest of the week 1200-1300 calories. I think 2x I was closer to 1400.
One thing to improve: Increase exercise from 10min to 15min per session & add some chair exercises to get in some resistance.

Wow, I missed a lot since last check in! Gosh, so many new post! I'm going to try to stay active with post all next week. I'm trying to get to 220lbs or less by June 1.
@johicks I read some of your personal post. You're are so transparent. This seems like a family hood. Some of the things you shared where so personal. Thanks for sharing with me.2 -

One thing I did well: Getting my walks in every day, despite wherever my head might have been at. Sometimes I have just got to get up and do it because the motivation is NOT there.
One thing to improve on: Getting my full night's rest. I'm not really doing that right now. I'm waking up too early right now, partly due to bad dreams, but also just not going back to bed when I wake up early in the morning.1 -

I have been at a conference for work this week and wasn’t able to weigh until today (my weigh in day)- finally I have a loss. I haven’t been able to catch up on how everyone’s doing either but hope to this wk. I’m renovating a vintage trailer and working FT so need to make an opening to read your inspirations and maybe give some 😁 Have a great week everyone!! ❤️2 -
@Toyota100 ~ your June 1st goal seems doable. It’s just about 4 weeks away and that would be 1# per week. Have you made the plan as to “how” to make that goal? I’ve read they say to focus on things that you can do versus just a broad statement of exercising more and eating less. Some examples are:
- I’m going to add a salad to dinner at least 5x/week.
- I’m going to increase my water by 2 glasses every day by 5pm.
- Meal prep every week to have snacks or go-to meals, when I planning is more difficult.
- Increase exercise by 5minutes every day.
- Have one exercise session of 30+ minutes / per week this month.
- I’m going to decrease my calories by 100 calories 5x this week.
@MaelynMayhem ~ Look at you losing, week after week. So awesome!! A good goal to improve upon 🛌💤 SLEEP! 😴 You can do it. Yes, you do very well on getting your walks in every day. Discipline outweighs motivation. And you have great discipline, more than you might realize. I’m excited to be on this journey with you.
ALL: Motivation is an emotion. It’s that initial feeling of I WANT THIS!! Whereas, a determination is the action of THIS is what I am going to do EVERY DAY to make what I want a reality.
@LuluLovingLife~ WoooooHooooo!! 👏 A loss! Spring does tend to be busy, for sure. And we want to be outside a little more. We look forward to more posts 👭and your friendship and support.
We’re off to a great start for Week #2 - 3 weigh-ins and 3 losses!!
Always, remember we are . . .
The three elements of what it takes to be successful at weight-loss and keeping it off are:
Run -keep moving
Track -know what you’re eating/ drinking
Mind -train your brain to be positive about yourself and okay with change(s).

Daily Post (Friday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Over
Exercise: None
Day: Went out for girls night happy hour that turned into dinner. NSV: I ordered a salad for dinner instead of tacos and only ordered 2 cocktails I wanted to try then switched to lower calorie vodka soda instead of drinking high calorie margaritas all night. Calories were still over as I did have some of the chips and guacamole, but a far better Friday than I've had in awhile. I also did my best to track instead of just not tracking like I have in the past.
Daily Post (Saturday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Over
Exercise: None
Day: A relaxing Saturday with the BF. I turned down going to meet friends at a bar in an effort to save calories and money. I'm working on minimizing social events that cost money to once a week for financial and maintaining a healthy lifestyle reasons. Trying to strike a balance and practice moderation on the weekends. BF and I are trying to move out into a more expensive place so its time to get serious about saving money!
Since everyone has been so transparent on here about their journey, struggles, and mental health, especially @johicks and @MaelynMayhem, I feel safe and comfortable sharing the family news that I received on Thursday that I've been struggling with this weekend. My 16 year old cousin was placed in a behavioral health treatment center on Tuesday because she planned to kill herself this month. Her and I are close and I knew of her mental health struggles and we've talked about them on numerous occasions, she struggles with self harm and suicidal thoughts. This is the first time she planned it out though, so when her mom found out she brought her to the treatment center. They are adjusting her meds, she is participating in therapy, and hopefully they can develop a treatment plan that is effective. I am so thankful that her plan was discovered and she is still with us. Her treatment center is an hour and a half from my house, so I will be making a day trip there today to visit her. Thank you all for making this a safe space to not only talk about our weight loss journey but others things going on in our lives that certainly contributes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. At the very least, these posts and discussions remind me that none of us are alone in how we feel, our struggles, and our victories.3 -

Instead of different times throughout the day. Fortunately, tacos feel like “fun” food for me and we planned it together; so my choices were easy. I just needed to be aware of me being patient with him. We still have a couple of hours before bed, but I think we are over day #1 hump. I still have more water/tea to drink but no calories. The kitchen is CLOSED! So that’s it, folks. Another successful day is in the books.

Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: 70 mins of cardio
Goal/Day: Today I planned to eat my meals and do my exercising, and nothing else. That plan didn't work out once I realized I had do laundry and go to the grocery store, dangit sometimes being a responsible parent sucks 😂🤦♀️2 -
Daily Post (Sunday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: Lower Fix and 30 min walk
Goal/Day: Today I kept myself quite busy with church, packing for a trip, etc. Tomorrow is weigh in day for me. Last week I was shocked with a good weight loss. That maked me a little nervous for what will happen tomorrow. I've stuck with the plan, so hopefully it shows on the scales tomorrow.3 -
Daily Post - Sunday (5/5 - Cinco de Mayo)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under, Limit: 1500/Actual: 1281
Water: 34 cups
Exercise: Zombies, Run! (We Used to Be Friends - 37 minutes, walked additional to reach an hour; Ghosts - 43 minutes)
Day: The morning had a rough start. I woke up at 3:44 am to total darkness. The power was out. I started having fears regarding the shadow people but nothing to chase away the shadows. In the dark I took a bubble bath to try and calm down, trying to ignore the mirror as well. An hour after dawn, the power return and I settled down. Then the day started to go just fine. The walk was going well. I had a command hallucination to leave the park, and out of curiosity I followed it just to see. I walked around the block for awhile. Since then I have had ones telling me to harm myself. I've been ignoring and distracting and doing what I can to resist. It just gets hard as that voice gets so loud. Then the others chime in with insults on my worthlessness, and of course I argue back with them, but it seems like a losing battle. I can't wait until it's time for bed.2 -

👏👏👏👏 I have a hard week ahead of me! Went so OTT over bank holiday 🤦♀️ Need to get back into the right headspace and keep shifting them pounds 👌1

Quick confession before I read and comment. I ate after I posted and went over. I added the calories and it's not pretty. The only two things I can put my finger on as to why is: 1. boredom. As I have said before. I need to read posts just before bed, then comment and post mine. 2. I had told myself all week that Sunday was a cheat day. I guess subconsciously that means binge. So I need to be careful with my words, because I'm listening!!3
