    Most likely won’t make it to the GW for my first goal I really seem to be retaining an insane amount of water or something I’m not sure why I’m still higher than the first day, but I’m just staying the course and knowing the weight will come off even if it’s a bit slower than I want at least I know I’ve been in a deficit. Going to get my Christmas tree today I can’t wait! And going to the gym for the first time in years!

    I didn’t weight yesterday as I knew it would be up from Thanksgiving and felt it would be better for my mental health to just skip my morning weigh-in. I’m very happy with my weigh in today 😄

    @Shortgirlrunning is out in front of the pack, having reached her goal for this week, and is inspiring us all to keep going! Congratulations, first week is behind you. Most of us have two days to go for the first week.

    Encouragement for today:

    The Heart is Important!

    I'm thinking about your heart just now. Not the physical organ that beats in your chest, but your heart, the center of your emotions, desires, loves and passions. Your heart is every bit as important as your physical body, and in fact, a healthy heart helps tremendously in losing weight.

    Is your heart feeling loved and encouraged, or unloved, unwanted and discouraged? The first is like strength to our bodies, leading to good eating habits, the second is like carrying a burden and can lead to trying to fill the love-void with food or other things.

    This, of course, is approaching the spiritual side of things, but I hope it is helping us examine the need to have a full heart, a loved heart, a healthy heart in order to facilitate good habits leading to weight loss.

    I care about your heart, your inner person, the real you. I want you to know you are loved, valued and appreciated. If there is ever anything I can do for you don't hesitate to message me.

    The Heart is Important!

    Starting weight: 175.4
    Goal weight: 170.0

    November 25: 176.2. I'm happy that I was up .08 pounds on the very first day for several reasons: It's important to see that weight fluctuates on a daily basis, so we're after trends not one day's change. Also, an "up" day on the scale does not derail us; anybody who reaches their goal has numerous "up" days along the way. All is well.

    November 30: 182.4 Thanksgiving Dinner Feast tonight with family. I expect a gain on the scale tomorrow.
    December 01: 187.4 I honestly ate child sized portions but I guess it adds up. My best figure is under 2300 but I did quick calories on MFP at 2350. I burned almost 2600 so I’m not sure I understand the gain when I know there was less calories in than out, but that’s carbs for ya! Okay so I am supposed to lose 5 pounds by Christmas and I gain 5 pounds overnight just by eating at maintenance! So I have my work cut out for me but I’m not a quitter so here goes nothing!

    Not sure what I am doing wrong here. I had posted for both nov 29 & 30 yet I cannot find them. ( I was copying from day to day to update) hopefully my awesomeness sticks this time. 🤗

    My reoccurring user error is that I tap "Done" instead of "Post Reply". I blame MFPs UI. 😉

    Just started toying around with the idea of a quick trip to Mexico. Battling with thoughts of how this might affect both my progress and my eating habits before and during.

    This journey is about living life and staying as healthy as I can. It is not about the fear over how I'll look in a bathing suit nor that I might indulge in tropical delights. Most of all, I don't want such fears driving my decisions.
