September week 4
PW 190.0
CW 190.8
This was yesterday's weight as I couldn't bring myself to step on the scale today. I know what the problem is. I only did one workout this past week and I ate too many treats with wild abandon. I've also been sleeping poorly and have been unwilling to take a nap or go to bed early to catch up. I'm putting my game face on for this week. October will be a winning month!6 -

This week’s mini-challenge is brought to you by @FatimaStartsAllOver: this week take the stairs instead of the elevator or park farther away in the parking lot to get more steps.
Love your personal one!!
Thanks. I live in a country town where everything is single story
The only stairs are at work and there are no lifts so I use the stairs anyway. 2 -

If i dont tell him im trying to lose weight-nothing like that at all. I used to be slim before being married. He used to be obese so has always had food issues. My GP monitors my weight because of medicines and I HATE it. I would usually bot eat the food but my 2 year old daughter feeds it to me. I can easily skip the junk food currently in the house but not all the fried food. I want to stay in bed and not eat all day. The one thing that has seemed to help is that he is ok with some vegetarian food. But its driving me crazy cooking 3 different meals for one night.... and I hate seeing our kids eat so much sugar in a town where fluoride is not in the water.
You are in control of what you and your children eat; cook one meal with many healthy choices. I don't buy much junk (pretzels, graham crackers, Breyer's vanilla ice cream, good tortilla chips and salsa-these are all things I feel ok about.) If your husband wants something else, he can shop for, cook it and clean it up. My daughter has learned to love healthy foods because they are what she gets. When we have something she doesn't LOVE (ie, soup) I always offer hummus and veggies, apple or pear slices and a string cheese. No extra work for me and she eats.
Thanks. I dont let my husband go shopping because he buys mountain loads of junk food. He loves shopping and cooking etc so thats the problem! I try to do all the cooking. He had a dentist last year tell him he was eating too much sugar but he ignored it...cant change him. Ive tried to impose no sugar on weekdays, it doesnt work. biscuit monday, biscuit Tuesday, biscuit wednesday, icecream thursday, lollies and donuts friday, icecream saturday, chips and chocolate on sunday is a pretty typical week for the children. My son eats well so i give him just healthy foods. My 2 yo daughter only eats for my husband and i can only get her to eat sultanas and strawberries at the moment. The problem is when i feed her she feeds me instead and if i dont eat her food it goes in the bin. So i make her meal knowing it will be my food.0 -
I saw my Rheumatologist today for the first time since January. I had been on this new WOE for about two months at that time. She was thrilled with my progress in losing weight, which really helped me because I see my loss as super slow. She said I looked healthy and happy and she loves that I am taking my health into my own hands and exercising and eating properly. I felt so much better about myself when I was leaving. So glad I didn't give up when things got rough. In it to win it!!
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes,50 minutes of water aerobics at my friend's pool (would have been longer, but brrr ... )
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

@looneycatblue, I haven't tried them but I'll check them out next shopping trip. Thanks for the info!Have any of you tried Lasso yogurt frozen "ice cream" bars? I tried the coffee ice cream with chocolate chips tonight, such a delicious treat and only 100 calories!
If you have tried any, what is your favorite flavor?
@tuddy315, nice loss!
@betsychange, good loss!
@shalvy2007, wonderful!
Woo Hoo! Congrats on your loss, @kenyaa3!! Impressive stair goals!!
@SuzanneElizabeth16, nice game face!! You can do it, friend!!
@12Sarah2015, that's super challenging when your partner isn't on the same page. Nutrition is so important to those growing bodies and sugar is such a poison to us. I hope he sees the light soon. Hang in there, mama.

@12Sarah2015 I so feel you ma'am. Its easier said then done making a switch for a whole other adult who has a mind of their own right? Lol. "We can lead the horse to water but can't make them drink." So I totally get where you're coming from, we can't control our partners. And if he's anything like mine trying to "enforce" anything will only encourage his stubborn self to continue the behavior you don't want LOL. What worked for me after we successfully conceived (he ate healthy when we wanted a baby) and he went back to old habits was I stopped telling him what to eat or not eat etc, I stopped begging and just did me and I guess he slowly started to notice how serious I was and in his own ways is more mindful on his own time. It was like a lead by example situation lol. However, giiirrrrllll you are the momma bear!!! Lol. I love that they have that type of bond bc it is important for daddies to have strong connections as well not just mommies, but since she only eats for daddy, I'd be telling daddy "I may not have a say over what you eat but I dern sure do over our baby, now please help me feed her this or that" LOL, in a playful tone ofcourse bc that's just me, playful and stern lol. Don't give up, it'll all come together in time 😊3

September Week 4
PW: 137.3 pounds
CW: 137.7 pounds
Up 0.4 pounds.
Never happy about a gain
but I am down 3.3 pounds since Monday
as I weighed 141.0 pounds Monday morning!
I did not make good eating choices from about Thursday night thru Sunday night.
I bought buttertarts for a ladies get together and ate 2 before I even attended the gathering!!!!
Then only half of a butter tart was eaten at the gathering by 1 person as well as I ate some at the gathering then I brought the rest home and ate them!
I also was bad at the grocery store and bought party snack mix and Reese Crunches both of which I devoured.
This is why I try my best not to bring junkfood into the house!
At least I turned things back around on Monday and Tuesday by getting back to healthier eating.
Good thing for weekly weigh ins and having to post my losses and gains as if I wasn't having to share my weigh in I may not have turned things back around.
Glad for this group.

Hey all. Well September is turning out not to be my friend. Scale hasn't moved much this month. I will take even the smallest loss that I have achieved. Watch out October I'm coming for you.5

@matthewsfive, you and me both!! Let's get it!!
@BB_1033, hope you're right!! #GoTeam
@inshapeCK, exactly why I love this group!!Good thing for weekly weigh ins and having to post my losses and gains as if I wasn't having to share my weigh in I may not have turned things back around.
You may have noticed that we haven't had any new members assigned yet for October yet. You know why I think that is? I think it's because we haven't had many folks drop out, so we have a higher number going into October. Not sure if that's correct or not, but just my assumption. So ... thanks for staying with it all through September. We have had four members not make it to the end of September. I always hate it when I see that folks have not weighed in for one and then two weeks and are removed from the challenge. It's so easy to give up on yourself when you see a defeat. But, as @inshapeCK said above, this group is such great motivation to get your head back in the game. I saw it myself this very month! Thanks to all of you for taking your own health back! Our team has lost 71.1 pounds this month. Be proud. Be very proud!! But don't be too proud, because we all know that famous saying. 8 -

Previous Weight: 195.2
Current weight: 195.0
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? No
I feel good that I did exercise but I am still not consistent with tracking…. I still feel positive even though my weight loss does not reflect my effort. Agreed to check in with my brother about my goals for motivation for October.

Super grateful for this miniscule loss... Tough emotional week at work, and my eating suffered a couple of days. Kicked it out at the gym last night (last chance workout), and it really helped! On to October!
