It is WAY too quiet in here.
What are you going to do every day to get one day closer to your goals? Pick a couple of simple things. Do them. Report back on those things every day! They can be about diet, fitness, de-cluttering, meditation - anything that will help you be on a good track with what is most important to you right now.
We started out with goals and reporting back earlier this month, but it has faded out. There are ONLY 10 more days in the September challenge! The last day if September 28th, and then we're into October, even if the calendar takes a couple of days to catch up with us. Let's get a good 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 countdown going here! What measurable difference do you want to see in 10 days?
let's go!0 -
Did we lose week 1 and 2 on the spreadsheet???

I hid them to make it easier to enter week 3-4. They are still there! I'll unhide them.

I’m here. Last few days have felt busy. I’ve been walking. Not so great with my Pilates the last few days (too tired), but I’m hoping to catch up tomorrow. Have had family for dinner last few nights. So, my goal is to get on my mat tomorrow. I’d like to end this month with a loss. Tired of bouncing up and down. Such slow going for me. I don’t know, maybe losing ever so slowly allows your body not to fight to put the weight back on. I need the setpoint lower for sure.
Hope you enjoyed the 10 days @jugar.
Way to go @AmyRobF !! We need to do this so we look amazing next May!!1 -
PW: 130.1
CW: 129.7
I'm back in the 120's...but just barely! This is hard stuff. Worth it though. Worth every .1 pound that I can get off.
Sorry I've been missing AGAIN -- but I would like to change to Wednesday weigh in @jugar so move me -- then today, I'd only be one day late!!3 -
My Fitbit keeps running low. Apparently I was only 13 steps from 10,000 yesterday but didn’t get them in because all I could get on the Fitbit was !! Oh well0
-
It's not my weigh in day, but that scale showed 222.0 this morning.
That's exactly 50 POUNDS lost!
I can hardly even lift that much.5 -
Happy Thursday!
@AmyRobF and @martinesther88 - your weigh ins are not due until tomorrow (Friday)! For last week, it is too late, but for this week it is a day early, so please confirm tomorrow, ok? Maybe it will be better - make today nice and safe
@juliemargaretkim - I'll move you to Wednesday right away - no problem! Every 0.1 pound once you're in the 120s is slow, I can certainly attest to that. It is worth it indeed, but very, very incremental. Or just mental.
When you have a minute, let us know how you're doing aside from your weight, ok?
@micki48 and @AmyRobF - YES for May! Make solid, measurable plans - max 1 pound per week, even .5 pounds will get you far. By my count, you have 33 weeks to April 30th. From today. That could be between 16 and 33 pounds at even these very modest rates of loss. If you tried something more daring, at least for the beginning, you might give intermittent fasting a go, or aiming for 30g of fibre per day, or cutting out sugar 5 days a week, or other such boosters to just calories in/calories out. I know that IF is not for everyone (I absolutely cannot do this, but when I was heavier it was possible on a modest scale), and everyone's tolerances are different. But you are your own experiment - have some fun with it, even when your stomach is growling!
@Terytha - FIFTY POUNDS! That is amazing, and you are amazing.
My own goals took a hit this week, but yesterday was a good exercise day, food ok, but I did break the sober September with 1 beer. Back on track today! I finished the 10 days of Pilates and found I enjoyed having one form of workout that does not leave me all sweaty - but it is really effective and balancing. I will keep including it in the mashup of exercise, for sure. I'm getting through a big to do list - catching up on some stuff that likes to keep sliding away. I'm going to Scotland and England in October, and before that have to go spend a couple of days with my Dad, so the time for putting things off is running short! Nothing like some firm deadlines to inspire action, eh?
Have a great Thursday, everyone --

@Jugar no worries, just thought I was going crazy

So I've managed to stick to my calorie goal 4 out of 7 days this week. But my food choices were not great. I'll be happy if the scale shows the same as last week tomorrow but I'm hoping no gain!
I've excersized 3 times this week so I consider that a win.
I hope I can stick to plan better next week and start losing again.
Looking at my weight loss graph, it's discouraging how my losses have come to a crawl. It's like a steep downward climb the first 3 months and then small up and down peaks. I really want to get it moving again! Here's hoping...
@Terytha AWESOME!!4 -

Hope everyone had a better time sticking to their plan today than I did. We ended up having company for dinner at the last minute, so extra cooking was added to the many errands and jobs of the day. So no workout, and not really on plan for eating. No alcohol, at least! One check mark for my day.
But time marches on and tomorrow is FRIDAY!

Saturday weigh in: 222.2.
I'm grateful to only be up 0.2 given how badly I hurt my back Thursday. I spent all last night popping painkillers, laying on heat and eating chocolate for comfort.

You're down 2.6 pounds from last week! So no worries. What happened to your back? Hope it feels better soon.
And @matthewsfive - good one! you're leaving 200 in the dust now - keep on going!2 -

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I had a huge laugh at myself yesterday, but today I'm limping about a bit. I was sitting here at the computer and apparently my right foot fell completely asleep. I was concentrated on what I was doing, so somehow did not feel this happening. The phone rang. I stood up to go answer it in the other room (stupid land line), took one step, and my ankle completely collapsed. Down I went. I crawled to the phone, worried it was my husband who was off on a motorcycle trip for the day. Good thing no one was around with a video camera. It was just the ophthalmologist's office reminding about an appointment. Grrrrrr. In any case, I sprained it - it is all swollen and a lovely shade of burgundy today, but I can still walk on it and it is just a bit cranky. Good excuse to lie on the couch with ice, right?5 -

I don't know what I did. I got home from the gym feeling ok, laid down on the bed and my lower back was just screaming pain.
It's a bit better now. I did some cardio to try keep it moving, the worst thing for back pain is laying still.
I hope your ankle feels better soon! RICE is pretty effective: rest, ice, compression, elevation.2 -
I hope the rest of these weigh-ins appears by morning... I'm heading for bed soon but will be up doing week 3 tallies bright and early tomorrow morning!!!1
