@boehle You have inspired me – I am going to take a walk over lunch today!
@lhughes2019 I get in moods like that too. It is so hard to stay motivated and be consistent. I don’t know what kind of diet you are following, so this may not work for you. For me, if I really really want something, I’ll plan calories for that and eat light the rest of the day so that I can splurge. Staying busy can really help me too. If my hands are doing something, I am less focused on snacking and when my next meal is. Stay positive and think about your goals. You CAN do it!

@lhughes2019 - Just offering my support and encouragement. We have all gone through times of discouragement and do understand. Along with the great advice already posted, I can only offer a few thoughts. You are SO worthy. Treat yourself kindly and don't beat yourself up over a few missteps. Instead of focusing on your bad week, forgive yourself and start back up. We can't change the past, so instead focus on your wonderful self and move forward. And, on a practical note, I used to keep a 'snack drawer' at work before I retired. Something healthy to reach for at a moment's notice. We are with you!!1

All I want is rubbish food, to make me feel better, but feel worse after eating things I shouldn’t! I’m not even hungry but I’ll have something to eat. Logically I know exactly what I’m doing but I still can’t seem to stop
May be food prep will help you. I liked this video which reduces calories but taste is not compromised.

Hi all! Tomorrow marks 2 weeks of vacation and 2 weeks to go. We have been very busy helping my father-in-law. We are trying to get some home care set up before we leave. I haven’t seen an iceberg yet but taking care of family is important. My birthday is on Saturday, so my Dad is taking me to breakfast and my Mom is taking me out for supper. The joys of divorced parents. They really stress me out but that is another story altogether.
It is great to see all the walking. It has been cold and raining a lot here, so I haven’t been keeping up on my walking. It is my stress relief so I miss it. For those of you with a Fitbit, have you ever had trouble with the heart rate monitor? Mine has stopped working. Still counts steps and everything else. I think I have extended warranty left, so I should be able to get a new one when I get back.2 -
@lhughes2019 I completely feel you. I've have had such a crappy week. Not necessarily eating bad, but emotionally. I am so overwhelmed at work. I'm training someone, so my own work is seriously falling behind. I usually try to walk on my lunch break at least 4 days a week, but I'm mentally exhausted so I have resorted to cutting my office lights off and zoning out with Hulu for the last couple of weeks. Hence why my steps have sucked lately. Also, I have been working on getting more sleep, but the last few days that has just not happened. I'm just not very fun to be around right now.

Ive hit over 5 miles the last 2 days. I am going to try to keep that up every day.
I texted @Beka3695 that I need her to start getting it together.. so next week, in the mornings, she is going to do some walking at work while I get up and jog before work. (I work from home)
This should be my goal for next week. Maybe it'll help me get out of this funk...1 -
I have lost over 18 lbs. in 5 weeks; joined my fitness pal about 3 weeks ago after losing over 12 lbs.; weighed 238.7; weighed in this week at 229.2; going on vacation to celebrate 50th wedding anniversary tomorrow, but intend to keep tracking my food; won't be able to weigh and measure everything. gave up one diabetic medicine already and am using a free style libre monitor but it is not recording accurately, unfortunately.4

I had joined the wrong team--75 year old diabetic on carefully constructed low carb, no sugar, no white flour diet, no evening snacking; three meals, started at 247.6 about 5 weeks ago; now 229.2; weighing and measuring my foods. That helps a lot; cutting out late night snacking.5

Thanks for your kind words and support, I made it to the end of the working week so I’m spending the weekend relaxing, planning and prepping. I have planned the evening meals and written a shopping list so far.
Results for the week are not good

Join us! I am really looking forward to this. I haven't moved in so long!!!
Tomorrow is my weigh day. I took a sneak peek last night - not pretty. I've done better dialing in breakfast and lunch, but my evenings are killing me and LATE NIGHT SNACKING! WHAT THE HECK!!! I am refusing to go to the grocery store except for veggies and milk! 3 am - if i'm gonna eat - it had better be a baby carrot!!! LOL5 -

Been going to the gym every other day this week. I’m so proud of myself! I’m going tonight even though I’m SO sore from the day before yesterday. I’m going to work on upper body since I can barely move my lower, lol6 -

We’ve got guests through the weekend, so we’re doing the local touristy stuff plus Father’s Day on Sunday. I’m still tracking, I feel like some of this is water weight. Will start menu planning again on Monday.3 -

I know its a really small loss, but I am just so happy to be losing again! It has been hard staying motivated when I have been doing all the right things and not losing. I hope it keeps moving down!8 -
I weighed in yesterday but forgot to post!

I can see where I’m going wrong. I’m pretty much always in my calorie range but definitely not moving enough. If it ever stops freaking raining here I’ll up my walking game! Meanwhile I need to find indoor activities to get myself moving!4 -
