    Weigh in November 14

    Last week: 195.4
    This week 196

    I’m so stuck and so discouraged. :( I understand exactly what’s going on since I will eat at night even while telling myself it’s sabotage and it’s bad for me. I’ll eat at night even if I’m full and uncomfortable. I have such great advice and support but still I do this to myself :(

    Maybe we can all comment on what helps us with night time eating. "Nights and weekends" are for sure my biggest challenges. My walks after dinner have curbed my night time eating. I don't eat while I'm walking (naturally!) and when I get back I'm thirsty for water. I don't want heavy exercise at this time but the walk is relaxing. Last night it was pouring rain so I tried a youtube of Leslie Sansone inside. It did the trick! Anyone else have things that work for them?

    Weigh in Day/Week: Friday, November - Week 2
    PW = 165
    CW= 161


    I've been lifting heavy the past 2 weeks and I have been up and down 4-5 lbs each week---mostly water retention. My clothes are a little looser this week though and I'm seeing a bit of change in my tone now. Still I'm happy with the overall downward climb... 1 lb from my base weight and 6 lbs from my goal.


    HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!!! <3


    Such great news!!! This gives me hope for myself :smile: Way to go!! Happy Friday1

    Week 2 (Friday)

    PW: 272.2
    CW: 270.0

    Happy with the loss after surviving three birthday cakes and missing two days of workouts. Wife's birthday tomorrow, she wants a small party just with immediate family. However, my youngest son and his wife decided they wanted to announce their gender reveal (first child) at the party, so now it's looking like over 50 guests.

    Y'all have a happy weekend.

    OMG - KIDS!!! Great loss this week. Have fun at the party and Happy Birthday to your wife :smile: Congrats on impending additional grandchild!

    @megnolia82 - On one of the podcasts I listen to (We Only Look Thin) one of the hosts is a big night-time eater. He does IF so he doesn’t start eating until around 2 and then stops at 10. He’s said making that decision was a big game-changer for him in his weight loss.

    I also highly recommend the podcast, it’s truly excellent and has a lot of great info.

    Exercise for 30 Min ✅ 30 min Pilates
    Step Goal (10K) ✅

    Yesterday was not my best day. But I got much better sleep last night and I’m feeling A LOT better. Sleep is important people! I will say that even though I skipped my run because of how tired I was I did make an extra effort to hit my step goal and gave my Pilates workout 100% and I really think that if I had done the run I would have given everything 50% effort. So moral of the story, it’s okay to listen to your body and give yourself a break in one area so you can give other areas more rather than giving everything a half-assed effort

    You have a lot of colors in your home!! Love it!

    For the podcasts, it's slightly different if apple/iphone or android phone. I have iphone and I use an app from the appstore (it's free) called "Apple podcasts" which looks like a purple microphone. For android you can use pocket casts, castbox, or spotify (many more so you could google it). Then maybe look on youtube for a tutorial for that app. So step 1, download whatever app you want to use. Then open the app, look for the search icon (usually a magnifying glass) and type in the name of the podcast you're looking for, then it shows a list and click on the one you want. You can hit the "subscribe" button at the top (to get it auto-delivered when available) or scroll down where episodes are listed and off to the right (at least in my app) there is a plus sign that you click then the cloud with arrow symbol you click to download that specific episode. After they're downloaded, I have a button for "library" that I click to look at my options, then select one to play. You can also play them from a laptop/workstation but this is NOT preferred because you can't MOVE and listen on the go! Using headphones will keep it private and save your phone battery. There are other options for each "show" like "delete after listening", "only save 10 most recent episodes", "only download if on wifi", etc. Check it out! A whole world of free content available!!

    I have listened to some of these on your recommendation! I really like them, although a bit chatty in the beginning for me...I fast forward til they get to the good stuff lol. The IF is really helpful for people. I've done a little (as in wait til 10:30 or 11 am to eat which is 15-16 hours for me) but can you realistically wait til 2 pm? He must be a late riser lol. Try it! I think each of us is different and we need to try things til we figure out what works. I say do it for 2 weeks and see what you think!

    Okay team! Let’s help each other tonight and also the rest of the weekend! Let’s hold each other accountable. I am going to post tonight after dinner and the reason why I will not self sabotage myself.

    One thing that helps me is to floss and brush after dinner. It helps deter me especially after flossing of taking another bite. If I am feeling off I love the insight timer, which is a free app for breathing and meditation. Sleep help as well. 👏👍

    Thanksgiving Month! 🤗 🤗 🤗 November 12🦃🙌🦃🙌

    Check out this article. 👍

    https://www.gracefilledplate.com/stop-self-sabotaging-diet/

    HOW TO STOP SELF-SABOTAGING DIET THOUGHTS

    When making a decision, it’s important to look at the facts…
    What is your pattern? 
    How do you react more often than not? 
    What is likely to happen if nothing changes? 
    This isn’t an easy reality to swallow. But, nestled in the bravery of your honestly lives the fuel for change.

    WHAT TO DO
    We often get stuck in cycles of repeated, unwanted behaviors because we don’t look at our situation objectively and honestly. By examining our history, we can see where the “current” is taking us and decide if we want to continue to float along or dive in and switch directions.

    1. Take an honest assessment.
    2. Listen for justifications.
    3. Ask the question.


    Thankful for all of you! Have a wonderful Tuesday. 🙋‍♀️😃🤗
    November!!! Workout 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♂️Warriors on a mission!
