Although we are already three days into this chat...Welcome to new members!! You are definitely in the right place for motivation and support!!!
Brief intro about me....I'm Nikki, a bit over 45 years old. I live in Worthing, UK - which is on the south coast - with my husband. I'm a full time secondary school science teacher - hence no kids (as that would be like bringing my work home)!
I love going to body combat classes and enjoy swimming and walking. Since getting married I've enjoyed cooking, eating and drinking more than the occasional glass of wine! I'm realising that I am heavier than I want to be and could do with losing a little weight just to feel happier in my skin. I have good intentions, but get easily swayed by chocolate and anything sweet. I am very good at self sabotage My long term goal would be to lose 14lb, not much I know, but it is sooooo difficult!
Could I be included in this month's step challenge? My goal is 10,000 steps a day.
I won't sign up for the daily / weekly goals, as I never get around to logging in daily! However, my other goals are: to get over 7 hours sleep a night, drink more water and try to get below 140lb - I got there briefly last month....

Logged Food
Stayed way under calories, but over on carbs. My boys and their families come over every Sunday for dinner and the wife made Baked Ziti and meatballs. What am I going to do? Just eat salad? Did skip the garlic bread and key lime pie. Okay, I took a teaspoon bite of my grandson's pie.
Water: 136 oz
Steps: 9377
Calories Burned: 918. This is what I don't understand. I can play 90 mins of pickleball and burn 1000 cals (according to my Garmin). Yet I'm pushing a mower, hauling a heavy wheelbarrow and other yard work for 2.5 hours and only burn 900??

Kudos on skipping the garlic bread and it would be hard skipping out on wife’s ziti, however, you were still under! 🙌🙌👏👏🙌🙌 Kick butt on water 💦 intake.1 -
ConfidentRaven wrote: »@ConfidentRaven I have been thinking about you this weekend! You do realize that your 20 minutes biking is likely not counting towards your steps but my elliptical, walking, & others running is! Not sure how to reconcile this but please hold your head high as you are exercising as much or more than I am (& others likely are)!!! And I’d love to hear any tips you have as you have been so successful with weight loss!! 👍🏻
@shbarbor I hadn't thought of that. I usually take my watch off because I don't like how it logs the stationary bike so it doesn't log anything during that stretch. So thanks for the thought that if I could run for that time I'd probably rack up the steps.
As for tips, I would have to say find what works for you whether that's low carb, low fat, or just eating sensibly, log honestly or at least be honest with yourself, and weigh your food. I have changed eating plans a few plans to fit my life or higher activity or cravings so don't be afraid to toss out or change anything that doesn't work for you. Don't be afraid to eat at or close to maintenance calories on special occasions. I find that if I pre plan those days to be at or a little under maintenance that I don't tend to binge. Sure I lose a little less, but at least I usually don't end up gaining either. Last don't be afraid to ask for help or advice about your food plan, I have a few times and several teammates have given me great pointers throughout the year.
I love this and so true! It nice being able to help and ask each other what helps. Ty Kai for advice when I have asked you!2 -
@jcgator2016 - I LOVE baked ziti! I make it only long runs days because that’s the only time it fits in my calories! Good for you on passing up the garlic bread (another one of my favorites)1

Self-Care: Ways to Take Better Care of Yourself!

Stress less
By now, we all know that stress is really bad for our health. Research suggests that stress may be contagious, and the more stressed we think we are, the worse it might be for our heart health
Trusted Source
. But between work, relationships, family, and whatever else life throws at us, it’s difficult not to succumb to it. Use these strategies, which range from drinking tea to practicing progressive relaxation, to keep the stress monster at bay.
Be mindful
Focusing on the present—without judging how we feel and what we think—can be both a liberating and healthy practice. Studies show that getting in-tune with ourselves through mindfulness slashes stress and depression, helps us see ourselves in a truer light, and may even help keep our minds from wandering.
November!!! Workout 🏋️♀️🏋️♂️Warriors on a mission!

Daily Goals 11/3
Exercise for 30 Min ✅ 3 mile run + 30 min Pilates
Step Goal (10K) ✅ 14903 (thank you 3 mile run!)
No Eating Out ✅ And I planned out my meals/went grocery shopping for the next 3 days so I shouldn’t be tempted
Daily Step Goal (10,000)
11/1 - 6,179 😕
11/2 - 10,863 🙂
11/3 - 14,903 😃
I have a much easier time meeting my step goal on the weekends (especially on a run day) the week days are where I struggle!
I’m also thinking I need to up my calorie goal. I’m aiming to lose 1.25 lbs a week but the past 2 have lost 2 lbs each week. Not complaining but I don’t want to burn out or be eating too little. I always feel a little anxious about upping my calorie goal though.1 -
