Aww, thank you @KMD1214 ! I did not know that.
I have focused a lot on building habits, but by bit, so it has been small changes, a little at a time over more than a year and a half.
When this started, my goal was "don't go buy and eat a Reese's right now." Not at all for an entire day felt like a stretch, but I could put it off for now.
And FYI - some days I do not FEEL like doing this or that, and remind myself that I will be checking in here. So in reality, you are part of the equation!2 -
Niece and nephew are visiting for the weekend. Goals: get some sort of a workout each day, and avoid eating any of the “kid food”. 😳
So far so good.....🤞🏼2 -
Friday Check in
Calories: under
Water: over
Exercise: more working in the house and shopping!
We went and bought a refrigerator for the new house. And tomorrow I have to paint my laundry room. It seems that not all prospective buyers are into bright pink rooms. Whatever!! My weight was down this morning and I'm hoping that with all my work I have to do this weekend that I will fast extra long and watch those carbs!

@19shmoo69 - What a great weigh-in! So delighted for you! What do you think made the difference? Shaking up your routine a bit?
@Wishusdonna - It sounds like you are doing a great job of taking care of yourself. Know that we are thinking of you.
@nlalamin04 - As @Katmary71 says, it totally sounds like you know what you need to do this week to get that momentum going again!
@raleighgirl09 - Wow! What a great weigh-in! And I love all your careful reflection on what to focus on next!
The only shake up I did was drop my calories by 300 and absolutely nothing after 6pm.1 -

Same 2-3 lbs week after week. I'm just gonna keep going, it's gotta budge sometime lol
Yes, that does sound like normal fluctuations, fingers crossed for you that you have a woosh soon
I'm hoping. I've been able to actually hike this week bc the heat relented. There's a huge difference between 84 and 104F lol

Thursday
Calories over
Exercise none
Wow, that is painful to type! I was flying on vacation and we ran a bunch of errands and went out for Chinese food. I couldn't resist nor did I try to resist dark chocolate dumplings!
Friday
Calories under
Workout hour elliptical and weights
Tons of family stuff. One of my aunts keeps picking at my food, I'm trying hard not to get irritated as I don't think she realizes she's doing it. I've been put in charge of anything having to do with vegetables which is cool with me as I like prep and cooking, plus it's offered me some control over my meals and what choices are made. Done good so far at resisting pastries, chocolates, and nut bowls! For the first time since my injuries I'm able to help out with physical lifting and moving things around, it's an incredible feeling.
Tomorrow- try to go to gym again in morning to use recumbent bike or elliptical at home. Keep calories low, Sunday I won't have time to work out and will be stuck with party food so I'll need to be mindful.

Wow, that’s willpower!!! I have a 2+week vacation (away from the scale) coming soon and I’m literally terrified. Apart from being unable to weigh, we’ll be meeting up with old friends who’ll no doubt have tons of food and drink-based evenings planned. Oh, geez.
My goal this week is to develop a thoughtful plan to make this trip back into ‘real life’ successful!0 -
Here's what I've come up with so far. And, feel free to add your own vacation survival ideas!!
1. Make the most of our alone time: maximize fasting in every way possible; hikes and long walks for exercise; careful low-carb shopping (Lite and Fit yogurt; prepared chicken strips and spring mix; good cheddar; almond milk for coffee; eggs; some Skinny Pop).
2. Arm myself for those evening 'sit by the lake with wine, beer and friends ' challenges: bring a cooler full of lime selzer and sliced lemons and limes; don't feel self conscious or apologetic; eat something filling/satisfying before we go and don't snack! Or bring along some almonds to share.
3. Prepare, prepare, prepare for eating out: try to look at the menu ahead of time and make smart, low-carb choices; have a glass of GOOD red wine and ENJOY it!! (but only one!).
4. LOG everything, even if I can't weigh in.
Your turn!!1 -

Friday Check in
Calories:under
Water: over 104 oz
Exercise: cutting grass and yard work
Goals today: Cutting more grass and more yard work. Get ready for camping and fishing trip. Go shopping for good food choices when camping2 -
Wish me luck everyone! Off for our two week vacation to Ontario. I know the heat and humidity will add some water weight but hoping it to go too crazy. My goals:
1. Drink 100oz of water each day
2. I believe There is a big yard where we are staying so if the kids are in the lake I’m going to try and log some steps by walking laps
3. Limit alcohol
4. Watch portions
5. Eat mindfully and slowly
6. If I’m not hungry don’t eat
I’m using this as my screen saver to remind me every time I look at my phone2 -

Weigh in day Friday
starting weight: 219.5
Previous weight: 216.6
current weight 215.5
Friday Challenge Check-in of week 3 July (I am LATE! So LATE!!)
Food: all food logged, on plan, under on calories
Water: 8 a day, most days
Exercise: Been doing well! I missed exercising on Tuesday but every other day last week had intentional exercise
Next Day Goals (for all weekend!)
Food: make choices that are good for me and less sodium! Less sodium is working well for me, more a reduced sodium plan over low sodium - don't want to go there unless I have to
Water: no less than 8!
Exercise: multiple walks a day, housecleaning - maybe an evening bike ride!
Goals or Improvements for tomorrow: Check in with SLIMPOSSIBLES!! Drink more water, remember the good, be the good and encourage others on their journey
Wow, falling down on checking in - definitely to be worked on. Work has been very busy, have had some stress in both work and personal life but oddly has not increased or negatively impacted my eating, very happy about that. A little concerned about my planned dinner tonight (Fathead Pizza, first time - already logged it to see how it impacts me!) as that all rolls into a lot of sodium. I'm adjusting with the other foods today and should be ok from a whole day standpoint - but the cost may come from a sodium bullet of over 1000 mgs in one meal. I have been craving pizza and hubby is a low-carber so this is our compromise. Calories are similar so I think it will be acceptable from that end.
@AustinRuadhain - you are part of my 'remember the good' in this journey! I am very grateful for your efforts, cheerleading as it has been so aptly said. It's so important to recognize all of the wonderful small things that happen around and to us. =>6 -

Sounds like a great plan! Working out will give you extra calories too. I already know tomorrow will be a bust, but I'm going to do my best to not overeat. I feel like I'm walking a tight line of sticking to plan and being a pain-in-the-butt!2 -

I've not been eating meals regularly so been eating things that are not nutritious and calorie dense.
Low mood meant that I chose food based on feelings than hunger. It's my 2nd month in this challenge and I haven't eaten with the best choices.
I'm making a commitment to try every day a new than see it in a week I'll try again.3 -

It's a difficult journey - and that's with the stars aligned. Are there one or two things you can influence for change? Maybe shopping on a different day or pre-packing lunch...? Just some ideas tossed out, not knowing what your challenges are. With low mood, maybe if you can look for only one or two things to change and focus on them, you can get some small wins and feel encouragement from within...the best kind. Maybe that will help your overall feelings and lead to more successes? We're with ya - we've all been there, having to take the first step (and sometimes, again). Make it a small step, meaningful to you. It's ok to not do everything at once and it's ok for it to be as slow as it needs to be. Thinking of you - keep trying, it's the most important part.2 -

These are all great - especially love #2....most especially for not being apologetic and for eating before eating - that is a tactic for me, too! I might add - use this as a time to cook something super delicious and on-plan to share with your friends. I like doing this because then I *know* I have something to eat and everyone is eating it or it's a part of the overall meal and we're all sharing. It's a win/win where I feel both included and contributory.2 -
