💥 Daily Post: Sunday, 16th June💥
Track: no
Calories: over
✅Exercise: 40 min walk (wasn't wearing my smart watch so wasn't recorded...but this was done between 3 and 4am this morning!! Post party walk home at a nice brisk pace as it was soooooo cold!!)
Comments: I missed posting yesterday as was out allll night at my kid's school PTA summer party. Am completely knackered today as didn't crawl into bed until 4am (don't think I've done that since college 😂). My body has been craving carbs and it's father's day so I didn't spare a chance at the pub for the meal that was planned months ago. I will likely deserve and earn a gain in the weigh in tomorrow morning, but it's obvious how much more crummy I feel by neglecting my nutrition, so it's great impetus to get back to it first thing in the morning. Hope you've all had lovely weekends x2 -

I actually did this yesterday, but this marks 100 lbs gone. I can't believe it, still doesn't feel real. And on a side note, I'm heading out to the parade for the STL Blues this morning and I'm sporting my blue SMALL tshirt! Never thought that was a reality either.
Keep working hard, this is 3 years in the making for me, but I am almost there! It takes time, but we CAN do it!
This is BLOODY AMAZING!! Well done you brave, strong woman! 💥

💪Weekly weigh-in💪
Weigh in on Mondays
Username: lsjhudson
Week: June, week 3
PW =226.6
CW=230.8
Loss this week: +4.2
[/b]Total loss[/b]: 2.2lb
I almost don't want to talk about this. I'm so frustrated and upset I could cry. I literally had only 2 days this week where I didn't track...but those weren't binging days...I would call them overeating days because they would have obviously been over my calorie intake amount recommended to lose weight. But I did NOT eat enough on those 2 days to warrant a stinking 4.2lb gain. I know with my health circumstances (I have IBS amongst other things) can affect the number on the scale, but I honestly feel like if I'm not actively trying to lose weight I'm gaining weight. I can't just stay in a pause setting. Do you know what I mean? So I either feel like I'm stretching myself and working super hard to lose 1-2lb a week, or I take my eye off the ball here and there and suddenly gain a stupid amount of weight that feels so terribly unfair. This makes me want to give up but I know I can't. I won't give up.6 -
P.s. I'm really sorry to let the team down x4

I’m alright with this tiny loss considering what I’ve eaten this week. As long as the numbers are going down, no matter how small a loss, it’s all good!3 -
@lsjhudson Sorry to hear you didn’t get the results you were hoping for today. We’ve all been there, and it really is disappointing. It’s possibly a combination of not tracking for those 2 days and as you mentioned, your IBS. I normally log my meals the night before so I know exactly what I’ll be eating and it ensures I don’t go over my calorie allowance. You could maybe try that?
I know you feel like giving up but please don’t. Keep in mind the reasons you started this. This weight loss thing takes time and every one of us has had weeks where we have gained, so you’re not alone. Make sure that you’re consistent with your tracking.
I think I can speak for all of us in saying that you have not let the team down. Some weeks we lose, some weeks we might gain but we’re all in this together and we’re here to support each other 🤗3 -

^^this 100%. We have all had weeks that we gained, and it's really a normal part of the process. Second, it really is hard to know if you're overeating if you're not tracking. Even if it's one or 2 days, it's really hard to know.
And giving up definitely won't get you closer to your goals, hang in there, get back on track, you can do this, we have all been there.2 -

@batgirl140 – Congrats on you new belt!
@AB0215 – Wahoo! Great job on losing 100 lbs!! That is amazing!
Ok, so here’s my crazy scale story...I got up one morning, peed and then weighed myself as I normally do. Recorded my weight and then did some normal morning routing stuff – I did not eat or drink anything, I didn’t even brush my teeth yet, nor did I add anything to myself (i.e., I didn’t wet my hair, put on lotion, etc.) I realized I needed to use the bathroom again, had a BM, thought “hey, now I’m curious, I’ll go weigh myself again.” And I was up .2 lbs!!! Maybe i need a new scale...
...AND and FYI and reality check ---per HAPPY SCALE input this morning--->I'm back up 5.5lbs after yesterday's large bowl of 🍜Pho.... 🤦🏻♀️. My water weight fluctuations are totally crazy.🤷🏻♀️
@lsjhudson – First of all, you did NOT let the team down! We all have setbacks, gain weeks, slow loss weeks, etc. That’s just part of this journey (and life, really). Second of all, do you weigh yourself daily (and track it)? I know it doesn’t work for some people – but it’s definitely helps me. My guess is that you’re all-night PTA party is probably responsible for much if not all of your gain. And the reason I mentioned weighing yourself every day, is that, if you get back to your normal routine, most (if not all) of that weight will be gone in a few days. Don’t beat yourself up – just focus on your “why’s” and your goal and get back to it! (Which is something I have to tell myself often on Mondays!
)

Daily check in for Friday
Track: yes, up until evening (oops)
Calories: Pretty close (probably slightly under)
Water: decent should do better
Exercise: no
I had a workout all planned, but then my husband got stuck at work and i had to go pick up the kids!
Weekend check in (Saturday and Sunday)
Ok, so, I did a horrible job of tracking anything this weekend. I know I had between 7000 and 7600 steps each day (Friday-Sunday) thanks to my watch. I know that I did a better job of drinking water than I usually do on the weekends and I know that I made better food choices (both how much and when to eat) than I used to on the weekends. All that being said...I have no idea how many calories or how much water i really consumed. I have got to figure out a way to do better at this on the weekends.
I also missed 2 or 3 workouts last week. Which kind of upsets me, but then I realized I still made it 3 time! All year, my goal has been to average 3-4 workouts per week. Yes, I'd like to do more, but realistically, life happens!

I know the weight loss slows down but I'm frustrated. If I didn't have a deadline i wouldnt be bothered about the slow pace but I do and it is bothersome. Anyway in 19 days it will all be over and I can relax and lose the weight at my own pace.0 -

Laura, don't fret so as stress is a reason for weight gain as well. I've had many weeks like this were I worked so hard and still gained weight so here's what I advise: keep tracking and keep exercising and loss the negativity we're in this together sometimes the scale is just not in our favor but don't be defeated YOU GOT THIS! We are all ROOTING FOR YOU! As you can see from the many posts in response to your post. There will be downs, downs, and ups but stick it out and you're bound to see results sooner or later.👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😍😍😍4 -
