    Question of the Week:

    I really want everyone to embrace the changes they're making which are most definitely for the better, and I think it's important to recognize that what we're doing is helping, so in that spirit, Name (at least) one thing that is better in your life because of the changes you're making, and for those of us who are new and maybe haven't seen a lot significant changes yet, maybe think about what your goals really are in relation to weight loss, maybe you want to be able to keep up with your kids, or have more energy, etc.

    Great question!!! One significant change I made is making time to exercise. I have always been pretty active; however, I was not making time/excuses of not regularly going to Barre etc. I miss it when I don’t go now. My head is clearer, feel great! 👏👊👍🤸‍♀️💃

    ALSO! Finding this great app and logging in everyday and being accountable. I haven’t logged everyday, however, it has kept me focused.
    Love ❤️ the support from the incredible pals through this app! I started in January to reach my goals with my way weight; however, I have achieved several NSV as well. 😊

    Best to all!

    ✅Track: Yes
    ✅Calories: ate 240 over my goal but 11500 steps credit put me under
    ✅Exercise: Yes just walking, amazing how window shopping for hours can really increase your steps!
    Comment: I thought I chose the healthy option today of chicken Caesar salad, but no it wasn’t - over 700 calories! I really need to go to places where the calories are displayed or look it up on the app to avoid these shocks when I complete the diary entry!

    This is kind of silly but I love that I can go to a restaurant now without worrying whether or not I will fit in the booth.

    @CindyJNC1963 Not silly! I’m looking forward to fitting into the roller coasters at the park this year!!

    @CindyJNC1963 That's not silly at all! The point that I decided I was too fat was when I was getting too big to ride rollercoasters, and I wasn't ok with that!! So I get it.

    @CourtneyLomonaco AWESOME LOSS! Congrats!!

    @tinak33 You should feel good about sticking to the plan! Nice job!!

    @2muchchocncrisps It can be really surprising how much the things in foods add up, it's almost always a much safer bet to go with whole, unprocessed foods, and a lot of times that can rule out some salads at certain places, they tend to dump a lot of things into salads to make them more tasty. I tend to go for steak and broccoli a lot, and make sure they don't put sauce on the steak! Sometimes, you just have to ask extra questions and they're worth it because after all, it's what you're eating!

    @Fitness327wk Exercise is not only great for the body, but also the mind, I like to add in walks around my neighborhood and I used to do it with headphones in and now I tend to leave the headphones out and listen to my surroundings and talk to my neighbors! That was never me!!

    @lsjhudson Enjoy your weekend!! A little R&R is good for everyone!!
    And being in control does feel good! I've become sort of a control freak since starting this journey and it really feels good, glad to see that you're feeling good about yourself, and proud! It's important!

    @SLIMn2016 Awesome day lady!!
    I'm really glad that you're seeing that there are many other ways to measure your success than just what the scale says, you look incredible, and you're able to do so much more!! I know there are so many more great things in your future and I'm glad you can appreciate them.

    @o0kody0o So I had a scale like that, and I got rid of it, the one I have now, while not a wifi scale (sadly) works really well, I can step on if 5 times in a row, and much to my dismay sometimes, it will say the same thing.
    Great day, way to stay under and get in some exercise!!
    And I am glad that you have more confidence and don't feel like you have to hide yourself, that's HUGE!! Awesome!!
    Also I love your fridge chart and that you celebrate each pound!! That's great!

    @digger61 Another great day! Keep it up!
    I'm also glad that you're seeing your progress in how you're feeling! It's such a great feeling when you're able to get out and do more and have more energy to make it through all the things you want to do!!

    @OkieGina I used to feel that way, and maybe when you're having lunch you start planning dinner so by the time you get to dinner, you have a plan and maybe that will help take out some of the stress.

    @gjaholy33 Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, hopefully you get to feeling better soon!

    @mltobia316 Nice loss, great start to June!!

    @batgirl140 Look at you crushing it! Nice loss, and sure, while you may have been lower earlier in the week, that's still a super solid loss and you should be proud! Congrats!

    Daily check in for Friday June 7
    Tracked: yes
    Calories: over
    Exercise: YES, 10 min elliptical and leg exercises (weighted: lunges, squat pulses, squats, side lunges) and 1 set of biceps, triceps and shoulders this morning.
    In the evening I went to a kickboxing class and signed for the summer despite having a membership at a different gym🙈! I love, love kickboxing.

    Comments: When i got home I cooked cabbage lasagna and ate my correct portion, but then had 2 pieces of the Little Caesar's Italian bread, that my husband bought for my son while I was at my class...ughh. Definitely over my carbs for the day! Hoping exercising I did today prevents the scale from rising tomorrow!

    My big push was because of my divorce. I was so sick of working out for her on her time line doing her workouts going her pace to try to help her and not even being thanked for it. Now that my mindset is to do this for me for once everything has changed. I haven't been this light in 6+ years or this fit ever, and I'm just getting started.

    Good for you.

    My shins hurt. lol
    And I wanted to snack on all the things. I did do some snacking... but I kept it in my calories....
    Also, I can't have popcorn the rest of this week because I feel I should spare my coworkers from the burnt popcorn smell at least ONE day this week.... LMAO
    I have the small bags. And it says to put it in for 4 minutes, but sometimes its done in 1.5 minutes. SERIOUSLY!?!? I burn the popcorn EVERY SINGLE TIME. :D:D Not a lot.... just enough to get the entire floor to smell like burnt popcorn. haha
    I actually kinda like it slightly burned. I'm weird like that. But still. That smell is strong and not exactly pleasant.....
    Anyway.... daily weigh ins say I am still holding strong in the very high 140s..... like BARELY in the 140s. But still there. And muscles are still sore from that 5K. Guess that means I should move more.....? lol
    My coworker and I are probably going to check out a gym next week after work sometime.

    I actually love burnt pop corn from the microwave.

    One thing for me that’s better is my love and acceptance for myself. I’m definitely not at the weight where I strive to be. And I struggle at times with self acceptance, But that’s not what makes me the person I am. I am learning that I am beautiful not by what I look like but because of the person I am.

    Water: about 100 oz

    I need to do a better job of planning my dinners - and something I'll actually want to eat. I generally have my lunches planned out for the week (since I bring my lunch to work). Breakfast isn't an issue since I IF during the week (and sometimes weekends). BUT I seem to only have a general idea regarding what I'm going to have for dinner. Which is fine, I guess, but my dinners have been very underwhelming this week, and it's only by sheer willpower (and stubbornness) that I have managed to stay within my calories this week. Guess I'll see what i can come up with this weekend!

    I also do so much better when I plan my dinners !

    Yesterday was a much better day it felt good to get out the house, although my PT worked my butt off it felt good.

    Especially since she said I am moving more fluidly and I told her that's because I'm 77lbs less than what I was it makes a huge difference. Also got my monthly trigger point injections which helps alot with the muscles spasms.

    Still STAYING positive

    Comments: I can't begin to tell you guys how frustrated I am right now, my original weight loss goal was 100 lbs and then I told myself I'd decide what's next, well seeing this makes me very frustrated and I know it's supposed to be encouraging, but I was hoping that this would be the week I'd be deciding my future....but nope. Apparently not.
    And I also realize how often I spend telling everyone to take it one day at a time, which is completely against my mental operations, but here I am, telling myself the same damned thing. Oh the irony.
