@sunshineplace - Hey, there! Congratulations on a great weigh-in! 😊
@cmac987sw - Zowie! You had a really great weigh-in! 🎈😊
@raleighgirl09 - Hey there! We are just glad to see you back in the conversation! Congratulations on holding steady that first week. And if you have a bounce after illness, company and a work trip -- no worries! You are so consistent overall I am sure that number will head back down soon! 👐
@digger61 - Great calories, exercise, water, steps -- another home run day for you! ⚾
@mrmcgrath - I feel you on the being cold. I walked around a lot of yesterday in a hat and fleecy jacket. I need to buy some warmer pants, though. Brr! 🥶
Looks like you had a good day yesterday! 😊
@Wishusdonna - Speaking to you from Texas, 27F being "British for unbearable" is hilarious! When it got down to around 27F here last month, we all got excited about the arrival of fall! (I do actually get that 27F is way too hot for inside in a colder place. Jut thought the contrast was funny!)
💷 💶💲 "Millionaire shortbread" - I have seen this described on the Great British Baking Show, and can only say that I am glad it is not a temptation every thrown my way. Closest thing here might be Laura Bush's Cowboy Cookies. Good for you for making plans to allow for that Bake Sale! Smart planning!
@hinemoa2088 - Wow! You quietly keep posting these amazing step counts. 👣👣👣
@Katmary71 - 🎈 Great work on your 5 for 90 challenges! Two cans filled is excellent! 👍🏽
@Kres567 - Sounds like you are having a great week, really! Prioritizing food, measuring and logging is super smart. At least for me, those are the things that make the biggest different in weight loss. 👍🏽 👍🏽 👍🏽
@TeresaW1020 - Yay to your exercise challenge rolling along! That and a great day for food -- excellent! 😊👍🏽
@its_cleo - What an excellent day! 😊

@nbbaby - I hope the the colonoscopy goes well. I loved that you found a "cup half full" to appreciate! Hang in there! I know your Monday weigh-in wasn't what you wanted, but keep at it. You can do this! Are you starting to get back into your regular food groove? 😀
Thank you,
The Colonoscopy is done thank god Lol. I had a hard time getting back into ketosis. So I figured I'd use the not eating for 2 days (colon prep) to help me out. So hopefully by today I'll be back on track. Although I ate so much last night lol I was so hungry. But it was all the right food.2 -

Make time for yourself: I took time to enjoy my time away in NYC this week, it was great as a first time there but too short and no sightseeing
Exercise 30 minutes a day: this has been lacking focus and intentional action the last week
Hydrate: slipping
Give up a trigger food / behavior: seriously - I just gave myself permission to eat things I normally wouldn't but I wish I had had more fortitude than that; not really regret but more like knowing I need to work on that because it doesn't align with my goals
Thankful for: my hubby who was wonderful while I was sick and now that I'm well - thank goodness for THAT!!!
Remember the good, be the good, encourage others on their journey - poignant this week. I work in clinical research and attended a conference that had several patient advocates with a lean to those patients who enter trials for their illnesses. Each person who agrees to be in a trial truly does humanity good, and we who work in the industry, in any one of a million capacities, must do everything we can to make the process the best it can be for them....for us.
So, I learned something really, really important about my eating. When I *think* I am eating less due to illness or time or whatever - I overcompensate because I think I have more disposable calories to my name than I do in reality....and then I ate them thinking I was under which caused me to not be under. What a stupid hamster wheel _that_ is! But I saw it happen after the fact at first and then a couple of times, caught myself in the act and once - I avoided doing it because I heard myself tell myself about hardly eating and then turning toward a more calorific choice. So, before my trip, I used this revelation to the good and I'm going to keep this at the top of the brain. However, on the trip Mon-Wed, well, that was just eating too much and poor choices. And today just tagged along for the ride.
I was mindful to also pay attention to my hunger before and during eating. I naturally don't overeat now (too full tummy), having conquered that many years ago, but I do tend to just eat what is on my plate and unless I am keeping calories low on purpose, I eat more than I need to, to maintain a lower weight so I need to start taking body cues and begin the process for a new normal (when the new normal called maintenance arrives) and getting to a natural process of eating what is needed which happens to be less. Woo - I know - not new news for me or anyone but I need to learn to stop a little sooner, even if I have a few bites left. I can see how it is that I just slowly gain the weight back when I stop logging and carefully minding myself.
Welp. Tomorrow is a new day, troops. => Let's welcome it with open arms and minds.2 -

Hello - checking in for Thursday.
Calories - oh no, red over again!
I had to estimate some of the portions I ate yesterday, so erred on the side of caution. I'm not worried. I'm very sure the weekend will sort this.
Water - 13/14 so close.
Exercise - 15032 steps
Currently, my planner is allowing for a large slice of chocolate cake and I still have 200 calories to play with, so we can do this!0 -

Ugghhhh this frustrates me but I'm not going to beat myself up. I've done really well this week with my eating and starting the new workout 80 Day Obsession has been kicking my butt. I'm sure that I'm retaining water and maybe I'm building muscle. My clothes are fitting much better so that is what I'm going to celebrate this week. 0 -
Hang in there @TeresaW1020. You really are making such good changes to your diet and exercise. Those NSV’s sometimes mean more than the scale!

@TeresaW1020 you're making great changes to your lifestyle, that pound will be off in no time and is probably from your new workout. It's still frustrating to see the scale at a higher number. I'm up 3lbs today and know I didn't eat 3lbs of food yesterday! Hang in there!
I accidentally went to the wrong group, I thought we had a bunch of new people! I'm happy with our group, you all are awesome!2 -
@mrmcgrath - Hurray for being down! You keep scooching closer to onderland, despite having a lot going on!
@kres567 - I so agree about the value of consistency. Little daily practices add up!
@TeresaW1020 -
Hurray to your clothes fitting better! That's great! And how smart to be looking at that measure, too, instead of just the number on the scale.
It sounds like you are doing all the right things with eating (I always thing doing well with eating is key!) and exercise (your new routine sounds great!), so hang in there!
@Wishusdonna - What a great day!
@davors19 - Great job stepping and logging! ( @TeresaW1020 , copying you to make sure you see that davors19 is in the steps challenge!)1 -

Gym challenge- yesterday I was with trainer, we did upper body it was good.
Today I went for a run- I haven't run for a while and I'm back to square zero with it. But I did maybe 45 mins of walk run. Went to the gym to get my 30 mins in, but just did mobility work.
Hydration has been good.
Cals- on track- I bought a very big piece of cake yesterday which wasn't on plan, btu I split it in half and ate it today and yesterday. But still under weekly cals. Haven't had much appetite this week really, not sure why. Very rare for me!0 -

@AustinRuadhain thanks for the constant encouragement! I am really pleased with this weeks weigh in. I have been listening to a podcast regarding maintenance (not that I am ready to maintain) but learned that I needed to learn how to maintain my current weight before trying to eat at a deficit simply because if I do not learn to maintain then what will happen when I reach my magic weight goal. I will gain it back like all the times before. This week I have been working on finding the sweet spot of maintenance. I am feeling really good with where I am at in this journey!2 -

I'm having a deja vu all over again feeling! In what feels like just a few months ago, I had to figure out how to get my regular walks in despite the heat and mostly having to go out in the middle of the day and early evening when it was sweltering. Fast forward to now when it is dark early and cold out and my focus is how to beat the sunset and not be more cold than I can stand. Let's face it - I have to be ready to be cold, just like I had to come to terms with being hot, before.
