SHRINKING ASSETS TEAM CHAT - September 2019

Happy Sunday everyone! Some people are expressing their struggles and some are keeping them within. This is a good place to sound off so let's here what you really want to say.
Mine is why the *kitten* did I sign up to 200 miles of cycling when I am clearly and moving liability. Things will get better, I will not give in and will achieve my goal. If you fancy a chuckle at my mishaps (and I am laughing at myself so no guilt involved) check out my updates https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10755847/cancer-research-cycle-300-or-cycle-200-in-september#latest2 -

Sorry for not posting sooner. I was out of town for work, which sadly also threw off my eating and workout schedule.

Guess who I found?
Your new member @machchic came and posted on Team WaistAways today, so I have given her the link to come on over here to post from now on. This was her message:Ok my weigh in is 167.9, not sure how I log this. 6 days this week walking more than 4+ miles a day outside.
If she doesn't see my reply over on the WaistAways chat, and you don't see her show up here, it might be a good idea to send a message. Thanks!1 -

Monday, Week 2
PW: 181.4 lbs
CW: 180.3 lbs
Mindgames suck. Rational me says "this is good sustainable weight loss"; but it is hard to be excited when for the last month my weight loss has slowed down from what it used to be. In the first 6 months my weight loss averaged 1.3kgs (2.8lbs) per week, which of course elevated my expectations, so now that my rate of loss is less than half that (0.5kgs /1.1 lbs per week), I am second-guessing myself and wondering if I am doing something 'wrong' or not good enough.
While it's a good opportunity to clean up my act a little where I have slipped (give up the sugar-free chocolate!), I think I have to do more of the mental stuff to reframe my expectations so I can embrace every week even if weight loss is slow, stalls, or goes backwards.
In this regard, many of you here are hugely inspiring. You've got so much drive to be able to keep motivated and (mostly) on track even when the scales don't show your work.3 -
@Luciicul your rational you is right. Recommended weight loss is between 1 and 2 pounds a week. At the beginning or if we have a substantial amount of weight to lose, weight comes off pretty fast. You have done an awesome job with your weight loss. I don’t think you have done anything wrong. A rate of 1.1 pounds a week works out to be 57.2 pounds a year. In my book, you are a success. My dietician reminded me last week at my visit that there are lots of bumps in weight loss. It never is the same from week to week.2

We need your steps for the 4th also. I scrolled back but I can’t find them1 -
Ran my first race of the fall season this morning. It was a 10 mile race and I CRUSHED it! My goal was to finish it in 2:10:00 -- I crossed the finish line at 1:59:19! I am SO proud of myself! Despite my weight struggles right now, I'm still getting stronger, and that's what counts!

@corriepelc amazing! Well done you!
@Luciicul everything you've written makes so much sense to me, too. No matter how much we understand and believe a lb a week is great progress, how will we ever believe it to be true? Maybe in 6 months time when we look back at the bigger picture? It's hard but I hope these mind games are helping prepare us for a long life of maintenance too.....?
@Beka3695 yum! I'm on mission eat up the freezer this week but kinda missed meal prep yesterday!
Happy monday everyone, let's do this!3 -

Good Morning Team
Sorry I was not around much last week. All kinds of personal BS going on but I am back and doing my best.
My goals this week are to stay low carb as much as possible.
Drinks lots of water and no soda.
Log everything before it enters my mouth4 -
@corriepelc 10 miles in under 2 hours is AMAZING!!! Way to go!!
@kilobykilo I am trying to do the same with both freezer and pantry. I am a food hoarder... For real, not even joking. For the next several weeks I will be playing a game called "Expired stuff I'm feeding Kevin." My lunches are both freezer items. Two down 35 to go. LOL I have a large freezer in my basement. It is an old dinosaur. Once it is empty - it is going away!!! It uses too much electricity and becomes were food goes to die. I anticipate it will take 3 more months to empty without maddening ourselves.3 -
