Eh dear up again, im determined to get this licked. Im really good all week then weekends just blow it all up. The thing is im still within my target calories for each day which are 500 less than i should be eating. Any suggestions from anyone will be gratefully received 🙂
Yes i definately wish to go on to september. Wondercif i should weigh in on a friday it would be more encouraging 🙂1 -
@bootssowhite~ Cait! It’s week #5. Take a deeeeeeep breath. Let’s do this together. I too have let myself be overcome with the night binges. So, let’s focus on having good days with healthy food. Then breath at night. I went to bed early last night. That helped. I’m also going to remind myself of my good nightly habit vs eating. I have no idea why I forget that!! Do you have a good routine for nights, yet? Would a bath or some aromatherapy help for those brutal work days vs food? Whatever you do, try not to avoid us. That’s my biggest fail. I run & hide.
You can do it!! 🤗 hugs 🤗 It’s a new month for you & I since we weigh on Sundays. WE just reported week #5, so the next weigh-in will be for September week #1. So let’s start this month out great!! A new day! A fresh start! (P.S. You managed to maintain this month!! That’s great… I gained.
- So chin up my friend.)
@Toyota100~So happy to hear about your workspace. Yeah!!! And you lost too! Yippeeeee!! It’s week #5. The next weigh-in will be for Sept. week #1, already. Weeks start on Sunday and end on Saturday. So even though it’s the 25th, this week ends on the 31st. And this was a long month. 5 weeks. You had your ups and downs, but you managed to maintain! 👍🏽 Good job!!
@jupdyke~ Good job on the diligent tracking! 👍🏽 Where did the summer go!? I can’t believe it. I’m not even a teacher and I feel like it went way too fast. Hope your back heals quickly. Enjoy these dog days of summer!!
@skullsandskeletons~ You’re doing so great! Can you believe you lost 11# this month!? Whoa! That’s fabulous!! Good job! 👍🏽 You kept resisting those chips and was still tracking during your staycation. Excellent. What a great month. Keep doing it! Keep inspiring us. Keep posting to help keep us on track, too.
@mawash9 ~ Good job, Mike. A wonderful loss!! That makes 8# for August challenge. Yes, week #5 already. You're doing great… hitting the gym. 👍🏽 Alright! This is your new highest weight going forward! No turning back... Forward march right back to the gym and don’t look back!
@rawrxamberx~ Good job tracking. 👍🏽 You were honest with yourself and that is so important! And a 15-minute walk after your shift. Awesome!! Yep, keep being mindful. I have to do better at remembering this saying for myself… but…
We can let food go to WASTE or we can let it go to WAIST.

One thing I did well: I was very sick all week but still managed to work out for 1.5hrs
One thing to improve: being sick knocked my eating off kilter but hopefully will be back on target for the rest of the week!1 -
It’s crazy that August is almost over already lol
I’m definitely looking forward to losing more in September
I’m finally committing myself to something and I feel so proud!1 -

One thing I did well: Kept up with my commitment to exercise 5 to 6 days a week.
One thing to improve: Controlling my eating and staying within my calorie goal of 1250 or less. My appetite has been taking over my willpower lately. September will be my month.2 -
Good evening team! I have a couple of NSVs I want to share! My family and I went to Chinese for lunch yesterday. My mom ordered a bunch of fried food for the table: egg rolls, crab Rangoons, dumplings, fried rice, and to finish lunch off: fried doughnuts. I’m suuuuuper proud of myself for eating 1 dumpling and 1 crab Rangoon. I resisted everything else!! Woooooooooo!!!!!!
Then today, a friend and I went to Mexican for dinner. I had a skinny margarita, a few chips/salsa/queso, and ordered off the light menu, only ate part of it, and then walked my dog when I got home.
I’m super super proud of the last couple of days of decisions. I’m trying to remind myself that the scale is not the only thing that counts.
What are your NSVs??
Happy losing everybody!4 -
I haven’t logged the past couple days. I’ve been constantly hungry and have eaten unhealthy the past couple days. I need to start logging and make better choices again.
I have been been getting more exercise though. I just taught my son how to ride his bike, so we’ve been going on walks several times a day for him to ride his bike.2 -

@johicks thanks for your kind words and support! I had to go look at my report to see my weight loss this month because I couldn’t believe it when you wrote 11 pounds! Yay. I also forgot to tell y’all last week about my NSV. I can cross my legs comfortably. It’s been awhile. Let’s go team RTM! 😁2 -

Track: Yes 💯
Calories: under
Exercise 20+mins: 20min bike ~first thing in morning.
12+ Water: 💧x 10
Used goal app to track my Healthy Habits: some -35%
I chose ME today!! - Yes, enough to not eat after dinner and to not eat after I went to bed. We had our first home game. So I planned to eat healthy protein and veggies all day, and did!! As I knew I was going to have popvorn and a hot dog for our free concessions dinner. That's part of our "pay." And then I packed one of my no bake fakes & a Bubly for the drive home. Then when home put in gum.
2nd night binge-free!!
Phew!! Feels good!

@slytherclawz ~ Sorry to hear that you were sick, That’s no fun. Awesome that you managed to get in some workouts, though. You had a phenomenal weight-loss this month!! “Weigh” to go!! 4.77% loss for 13# gone. Bye, bye lbs. 👏🏽
@rawrxamberx ~ You’re doing great! Keep it going through September. 👊🏽 You got this!!
@jupdyke~ Nice weigh-in for being unsure. Congrats on the overall loss for the month. 👍🏽 Your dedication to working out is encouraging. September is going to be SUPER!!
@red1185 ~ I love hearing about NSV’s! WHOA!! Chinese is so hard to resist!! That’s wonderful. Good job! 👍🏽 And then Mexican and a walk… super exciting! That’s awesome! You are so right! The scale isn’t everything. Finding that balance is so key. Just awwwwwwwwesommmmmmmmmmmme!! Thank you so much for sharing. That was very encouraging. Happy losing to you too!!
@jmacaroni~ Okay…. Today is a new day. Get out your MFP app and do it. Even if you only do 50%, that’s being more mindful than you said you have been. Wooooohooooooo! For teaching your son to ride his bike, so you can walk with him. Great exercise and quality time together!! Yeah!!! 👏🏽 There is always a positive to our days, we just need to make sure we find it and focus on it. Keep that exercise up. Then work on one goal for today to get you back to your healthier habits. You can do it!
@ajaia2001~ Woooohooooo! 1.25hours of exercise! Yes, me too… up- down, back and forth. Let’s make September SUPER! 👊🏽 I know you got this in you!! Breakthrough that wall, girl. Bootcamp kick your way through it! Hahaha (I envision the Kool-aid man breaking through the wall.)
@skullsandskeletons ~ Magnificent, Monday! Your daily commitment is awesome! Yes! Yes, you did lose 11#. Yeah, you!! And what a great NSV. 👏🏽 I understand. Tieing my shoes w/o being out of breath is something I enjoy these days! Yeah!!!
@mawash9~ Good Monday, Mike!! 👍🏽 Hope you can walk today….
@Jactop ~ staying the same may feel discouraging. But it’s always better than a gain. Let’s make September SUPER! (p.s. That weigh-in was for week #5. The week started on Sunday, Aug. 25th and will end SAt. Aug. 31.) Keep posting we’d love to hear more from you and if you have tried any new snack recipes. I have yet to make those gummies. I need to find a mold with small designs.
What are some of your NSV’s? (Non-Scale Victories) One of my that I am proud of and happy about is being able to fit and wear my wedding band again, all day w/o any lingering pain at night. Yeah!!!! I hate that it had to sit in the jewelry box for so long.
Did you hear @skullsandskeletons? LET’S GO TEAM- RTM!!!

Hi team. I really struggle this week with being accountable to the team and to myself. After coming back from my trip it was my BFs birthday and birthday party over the weekend, so the whole week kind of just went to hell. I didn't weigh in and I didn't really track much. Some life stress has also really gotten in my way recently. But! I am excited to say I accepted a new job and will hopefully be much happier in my work life. On a negative note, our beloved family cat was diagnosed with cancer yesterday and it doesn't look good. So I am on a roller coaster of emotions and desperately trying not to turn to food for comfort. I brought all the leftover birthday treats from BFs birthday into work today so I don't give in to them at home! Its a struggle right now, but I am going to power through.4

Exercise: yes, long walk for sore muscles🤪
I am proud I have kicked my sweet tooth habit. Still indulge, but on s much lesser scale. Started eating healthy consistently and regular exercise. Who would have thought I would lose weight 🤣3
