You know, as much as I try to prepare myself, I’m never really ‘ready’ to stay the same. Probably few of us are. (I’m getting used to it though🙄). I keep trying to remind myself that this is meant to be hard.... and I’ll remember that and use it to help keep me from slipping back once I reach my goal. Which I will! We’ve got this!!!!4 -

Weigh in day Friday
starting weight: 219.5
Previous weight: 219.8
current weight 216.6
Saturday and Sunday Check-in of week 3 July
Food: all food logged, all on plan, under on calories
Water: mostly 8 today - I think this is the right spot for me - I'm not retaining which is great, avoiding large sodium dump foods. Maybe at some point I'll see if increasing is a benefit but I'm happy with this for now, if I can improve my water habit
Exercise: 2 mile walks both days - might get in another walk later this evening
Next Day Goals
Food: make choices that are good for me and continued less sodium!
Exercise: a walk at work - thinking I'll do this as early as I can and then a walk in the evening
Goals or Improvements for tomorrow: stay on target for water, food and exercise. Remember the good, be the good and encourage others on their journey
One thing about the Fitbit - which may be accurate and may not be but the premise is very helpful. I can eat more on days I move more or I can bank my deficit for a loss. Now, I'm not sure if this will actually work this way for me, individually, but I'm going to try it. So, my calorie goal of 1330 from MFP (and 1200, personal goal) may not be enough deficit for 1.5-2lbs a week loss....when I have days that I hardly move from my chair (aka working at the job). And since I shouldn't eat less than my personal goal, just for sanity's sake, I need to move more. Intentionally. Maybe get up and take a walk before the shower or use the gym and shower at work, or become a sweaty mess after work. Whatevs - just get the eff up and be sure that I am getting an *actual* 750-1000 cal deficit each day, or don't whine about not losing more robustly. Sure, you can say that this is a no-brainer but before this come-to-Jesus moment, I was thinking I could just eat the 1200 or so and lose at least a pound a week and then more when I exercise. I don't know if the numbers Fitbit tells me are accurate, as noted, but I do know that I have not been focused on this (very elementary) concept. I'm going to work that angle in the coming week and see if it is more productive than what I have been doing. Something tells me that if I am true to the effort and consistent, the progress won't be less productive.1 -
Woohoo!!! 1st place! GO TEAM!!!2

This weekend was rough for me. I took the kids to a water park and packed food. I’ve been doing intermittent fasting and low carb. It was a bit of a bust this weekend though 😕. I’ve been at the changes for 4 weeks now, so back on track.5

Sounds like you know what needs to be done. We all struggle at times, it is what we do long-term that'll get us where we want to go. You've got this!2 -
Thanks everyone - I have taken a quick break from the drugs as they were too effective and zonked me out. Not sure if wise, but it's my first time on these.
I went and dug my allotment on Saturday and it was a real struggle. I have mostly slept, and this was fine as my sleep was 3-5 hours each night, so good to be getting an 8, 9 and 6 over the last 3 days. But I have not moved as much as normal.
Friday was under calories, but Saturday and sunday both over.
Friday 19 - 12368 steps
Sat 20 - 11333 steps
Sun 21 6826 steps2 -
Hi all, after a couple of weeks of working with MFP IT, I finally can access the community again. I already requested to be on the cheersquad this month due to my community inactivity, but I'll be ready to be back in action next month!2

I have lost and gained weight my whole life. I lost about 60 pounds about 6 years ago over a couple years of hard work and have since gained 50 back. My knee is no good with arthritis and had surgery on my foot for a nasty heel spur. I am having a really difficult time getting back on track. I know my knee will be better with some weight off and I want to be more active with my family. My goal is to lose the 50 pounds (more ideally) and KEEP it off! I can't seem to get to the next 5 pounds though. Just a little about me and I am excited to be here!
Welcome to the group! You’re gonna love it here. I will send you a friend request in a few minutes, and I’m sure others in the group will as well. To me, the magic of this group happens though by coming here to this forum every day to read and respond to the posts of other members. It’s also very helpful to do the little daily “Check In” posts that you’ll see. There is a general format, but feel free to make it what you need it to be. We share the good days and the bad days here. The encouragement and support you’ll find here has been incredibly important to my own weight loss journey. Remember, this is a lifestyle change, not a diet. It takes time, but it does work if you work it.2
