@Nicoletime4me, a maintain is not a gain, so well done! Some days you don't exercise, some days you don't eat at a deficit, but some days you do both. A few more of the latter days, and the scales will move for you again, and in the right direction!!1 -

Starting July Weight: 167 lbs
This week’s weight: 165.6 lbs
This is a good start to the month! Pleased to see this... but I know that the number goes down when I reduce my calories and exercise more.
Hope everyone enjoys Independence Day, if youre based in the US!
@mickey10111, Congratulations, Mikayla, on a nearly pound and a half loss to start July!! It's so simple to do, right?....consume fewer calories and move more!!!1 -

Not as bad as it could be. Last weekend I spent 4 days at the cottage, which involves lots of good food which makes it very tough to eat right.
Good call on not making those cookies @cmhubbard92 !
@cossmoss15, only up point four and you spent four days at the cottage....that's a win in my books!! Way to go on the kayaking...yes, it doesn't register as "steps" but it is exercise with a view, and it burns a lot of calories!!1 -
Week: Week 1
Today: Thursday, July 4
Start weight: 216 lbs
Previous week's weight: 215.4 lbs
Current week's weight: 216.6 lbs
Knew and expected this gain after the past week.. I can only just keep trying and accept that the next couple weeks are not going to be easy for me. I can say though that I have had 4 or 5 lb gains in a day or two before when things were rough so I'm taking this as a hiccup... not a setback.
@sandkp, you knew it wasn't going to be a good week, but like you said, you didn't completely throw in the towel because of it. You did your best, and you are only up just over a pound, so that is a win for sure!!1 -

@jlbtnc, great job on losing a solid half pound!! I know your expectation right now is just to maintain, so a loss is an absolute bonus, and proof that some good habits were developed the first half of 2019!1 -
Thursday, Independence Day (7/4/19)
Tracking: yes
Under: no (bbq, snacks and alcohol did not add up to reasonable calories)
Exercise: no
Sunday - no
Monday - YES
Tuesday - YES
Wednesday - YES
Thursday - no
Mindset was not right yesterday. Bad thing is that I knew I wasn’t going to exercise so I knew I wouldn’t get a “yes” for the mini challenge which made me think “why work to stay under calories if I’m not getting a yes anyway”. Very bad mindset to have and something I’ll have to work on. I tend to be all or nothing and my exercise (or lack thereof sometimes) dictates my food choices.
@pkg1998, OMG, this is sooo me, too!! "I am not going to exercise, so it is not going to be a "yes" day so I might as well go over!" Where is the logic in that??? Or even worse, "I am already over for the day, so I might as well go waaay over!" Maybe we should have an Under Challenge, to go along with the Mini Challenge? No exercise required, just be under!!

Weigh in
Last: 243.7
This: 246.1
Having my weigh in the morning after the 4th bbq is not ideal. I did my best, no buns on the burger, hard seltzers instead of beer. But i still have to be bloated regardless.
I don’t believe this is my true weight so I am mot going to be upset over it. I’m gonna dip out for this weekend and enjoy my long holiday. I will get back on Sunday and conquer next week.
@erikNJ, you are so right, Erik! That is not your true weight, just a snapshot in time, and a snapshot that came right after the 4th of July BBQ!! I am so glad that you are able to wrap your brain around this, and not let it derail you!!1 -

Not too bad considering I'm in the middle of one of my not-at-home weeks. I drink so much less water while I'm . away, and I can definitely tell! I'll be headed back home Monday ready for two more weeks of hard work before another week of fun!
@eatingfoodles, you are right, it is not so bad. You are only up a pound, and when you are not at home and you only gain a pound, that is a win in my books!!1 -
Wednesday, 7/3/19
Tracking: yes
Under: yes (surprisingly) husband cooked dinner which means its never low calorie but yummy
Exercise: yes - 35 mins treadmill and 60 min “Groove” group fitness at the gym. It’s a dance class and my friend asked me to go with her. It was fun but I’m sure I looked ridiculous because I cannot dance at all.
Sunday - no
Monday - YES
Tuesday - YES
Wednesday - YES
@pkg1998, committing to joining a class at a gym is such a great way to get in your exercise. You know when it is, you know what it is, and while you are there you don't even have to think, you just have to follow instructions!!1 -

Maintained 🙄 I’m really annoyed at this actually. I know I shouldn’t be because I’m doing the right things and it will all come off in time but I’ve been SO consistent this week. Have clocked up 4 gym workouts since Sunday and have walked my 10000 steps every day. Food has also been to plan so who knows what’s happening!
Amazing to read everybody’s losses though and taking so much motivation from that! Well done everyone 🎉
@Coral333, of course you are naturally annoyed, but I hope you can move past it, knowing you have done everything right!! Patience is a virtue, and a weigh-in is just one moment in time, not always reflective of the week preceding it!!0 -

I have been doing really good this first week of the challenge! Hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow and be right back at it.
@pandygirl19, I hope you have recovered completely from your migraine....it would be wonderful if this week could start out like last week for you!!0 -

Last weeks weight: 205
Today's weight: 202.4 "Hooray!"
@Jeaniece1, a solid two and a half pound loss deserves a "Hooray" for sure!! Well done!! Look out Onederland.....Rita's coming for you!!0 -
I weigh myself first thing in the morning, and I am pleased with my recent weight loss.
Starting weight 6/6: 188
Current weight 7/6: 183.6
@SHEFITT45, being "pleased" with an almost four and a half pound lost is an understatement!! You deserve to be super excited!! Congratulations on a great first week of July!!1 -

We tend to engage in food and libations HARD🍾🍻so, looking forward to returning back to my typical foods. Completed a 7.2 mile hike today, excited🤸🏿♀️
@ForLangston, you are only up a couple, which makes perfect sense if you are eating and drinking more while your family visits. Like you said, they will go home soon, and you can go back to eating at a deficit and losing weight, with no regrets at not enjoying your time with them to the fullest!!1 -
mirendybryant wrote: »I've been so off track so far this week. I'm hitting my 20k steps goal and the 132 oz water goal but my food has been absolute crap. Pretty sure I'm going to have a gain that's not water weight. However, I have figured out what has been wrong with me medically the past few weeks (possibly months Idk yet). I'm pregnant. I'm not even sure how many calories I should be eating now so definitely going to talk to my Dr about all this on the 16th.
@mirendybryant, congratulations!! That is such great news, even if it is a tad unexpected!! I am assuming that because you do have weight to lose, that your doctor will allow some sort of deficit, as long as a minimum number of calories required for an expectant mother is reached. Maybe try eating at maintenance until you see your doctor next week.0 -

I had VERY mixed emotions bout weighing in over 200 again, but knew 4th of July had something to do with it. I could just feel that I ate like crap. I usually give up. No way I am stopping this time.
@swauters, that's what I like to hear.....figuring out the reasons behind the emotions, and vowing not to give up because of them!!0 -
Saturday, 7/6/19
Even though I wasn’t very successful with the mini challenge this week, it is the first time that I’ve actually recorded a yes/no every day. I consider this my baseline and it can only improve from here.
Thats awesome. I am really bad at recording my no days. I will make that my goal for this coming week.
@pkg1998, @swauters, I agree wholeheartedly! The bad days wouldn't stew in our minds and seem so bad if we reported them here...everything looks better in the light! And if we vow to report the bad as well as the good, maybe we won't let the bad get sooo bad!! Okay, I will try (to give it a try) this week!!0 -
Thank you so much @cmhubbard92 your motivation and kind words are always spot on!
We were away at a wedding this weekend so I’m only just catching up on everyone’s posts. I did go to the gym in the hotel and did a gruelling HIIT workout with my husband. He is a whole lot fitter than I am and my legs are paying the price today but I’m glad I did it!
Brilliant work to all the losers!! Fresh start for anyone who was feeling similar to me at weigh in as well ☺️. We can do this!
@Coral333, great job on taking advantage of the hotel gym and workout time with hubby!!0 -

Fri
Tracking: yes
Calories: yes ( but used nearly all my exercise calories too)
Exercise : yes - 55 mins on treadmill
Sat
Spent weekend in Bristol with friends at a pork and cider festival. Tracked as much as I could and stayed off the alcohol but still overindulged with little opportunity for real exercise
Tracking: yes, with lots of guesswork
Calories: no, totally over
Exercise: no, see above
Sun
Returned home this afternoon and got straight on the treadmill
Tracking: yes
Calories: yes
Exercise yes
The low carbs went out of the window over the weekend (I was being a polite guest) so I'm feeling quite bloated. But its five days before I'm back at work so I have time to make this right.
@Caronell, great job on getting right back into it after a weekend away....that can be hard to do for some!!0 -
Mini-challenge
7/7
tracked: yes
under: yes
active: yes
Sun: yes
My goal this week is to simply get back on track. No more using my personal issues as an excuse to blow this off. Even if I am not perfect I need to get back to accountability.
@erikNJ and @TBBT, let's make that our goal for this week if we are struggling.....not to be perfect, but to be accountable!!1 -

This was my first week, and while not perfect, there were definitely times when the thought of the challenge got me to eat less or workout more, or both!
@annabananamc, definitely the point of the Mini Challenge....glad it worked that way for you!!0 -

Last week 164.2

Ok week. Stress still affecting me a fair bit so trying to focus on some self care and sleep a bit better.
Aims for this week- get outside for a run, two tkd session, one weight session and we are doing battle archery at the weekend for my partners birthday. Plenty of activity. Go to bed at a reasonable time.
Challenges-there will be birthday cake! The temptation of snacking so planning in some extra snacks.
@lozenger1984, you have completely undone your little "up" from last week, so well done!! It sounds like you have a solid plan in place to deal with the upcoming week, and battle archery sounds fun, I think!!0 -

This past week has been tough, eating wise, exercising wise and sticking the course. Once again, I am looking to restart.. I am done with dissapointing myself...I can do this!!
@abowersgirl, yes, you can do this. You've proved it time and time again. Don't let this one bad week (which did include Canada Day and the shark, don't forget!) derail you!abowersgirl wrote: »3x yes
