High anxiety last night resulted in lousy sleep. Joined a dating site and the idea of posting photos of myself is freaking me out. 🥺
Try not to stress too much about the picture thing. I met my husband online and I put lots of pics, even full body shots cuz I figured I would rather have the first time we meet face to face be all smiles and happy and not disappointment cuz they didn’t know what they were getting themselves into lol. It’s like pre-weeding out anyone who won’t like you for you -and just like you won’t be attracted to everyone you see on there not everyone will be attracted to you and that’s ok. That’s a reflection of them, not you.
Congrats on taking the step and putting yourself out there!4 -
Daily Post: Wednesday
Tracking: Yes
Calories: Over about 2000, goal 1500
Exercise: No
Day:
* I thought I was doing awesome until I forgot to tell the server to keep the cheese off my salad. 200 calories?? Also I ate some Hershey's Kisses I didn't need. Between the two that's pretty much why I was over.
* Shout out to @LyndaBSS online dating is a hellscape but so worth it. It's like Brene Brown says though: Don't shrink, don't puff up, just stand your sacred ground and let yourself be seen (literally and figuratively in this case!).
* had a great therapy session. Therapist says to focus more on choosing eating according to my values and the positive outcomes from that, than on the negative "stay thin or else" mindset I've been having. We also talked about interrupting compulsive thoughts. I also am going to start seeing her twice a month starting in January so I can go back to making progress with therapy which I would not say I have been doing.
THANKS FOR LISTENING

I’m 61. I met my late husband on a dating site. We were together 15 years before I lost him to ALS. I’m hoping there are some decent older guys out there. 😉5 -

Calories: Under
Exercise: no specific exercise but I’m still working on a huge house overhaul so lots of movement there and Thursday nights I sing in a choir which gets moving pretty good sometimes too.

Water challenge:
Goal: 15 cups of water
Water drank: success! Trying to finish my 24oz mug of water every 2 hours and did pretty good. This is on top of 2 coffees and 2 diet pops lol (tho I am trying to cut down on the pop)3 -

Daily Post (Thursday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Over, by less than 100
Exercise: None
Day: Went to happy hour with some girls from work and managed to be reasonable with food and drinks! baby steps!
Out of town this weekend again, so I need to make sure I am mindful tomorrow while we are out and about with our friends. I want to enjoy myself without overdoing it! We will see how that goes2 -
Hi Team!
As we are approaching the end of the week, I am still missing weigh ins from the following people from earlier in the week!
Even if its not the weigh in you wanted this week, still post it! We are all here for each other and the first step towards accountability is weighing in each week!3 -

Daily Post Friday
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: no specific exercise but pretty active with my daughter chasing her around my company’s kids Christmas party
Day: I feel pretty good about today. Lots of binge worthy foods at the kids party but I had just one piece of pizza and didn’t eat any of the cakes/candy lol.
Water challenge:
Goal: 15 cups of water
Water drank: bombed it today. My lips hurt so I know I didn’t get anywhere near enough. I’d say not even half. Will do better tomorrow! (Still have a little time this evening so I’ll try to suck some down before bed)1 -

Username: SoMum
Daily tracking: Friday yes
Calories: at but higher carb than macro goal yet I ate mindfully so yep happy
Exercise: walking, cycling and squats
Thoughts- managing project load and ever changing schedule to make it all work. Be kinder on yourself no one is perfect.
@AmyG1982 I apologize for the delayed posts I have a new phone so the app is crunchy lol. I may have to start posting from my laptop to make it easier.
I am still in with you for the water drinking challenge Goal is to get up to a full gallon a day. Current sitting around 48ounces on great days and not so great I’m chugging in the evening which is not good for sleep lol. I will follow your lead on the formatting as I’m still a newbie for the posts 😬😊
This hopefully as well will get me to my next micro goal weight loss so I can look at my macros and make any adjustments if needed.
Thanks again for the great idea!1 -
b]Daily Post[/b] Friday
Track: Yes!
Calories: 1800 (goal 1500)
Exercise: no
Today:
Well it was Friday and I wanted a mocha but I decided to get almond milk so it would fit better in my calories. It wasn't worth it. I would have been better off to go for the real thing considering how much it cost both in $ and calories.
Lesson there: if you're going to have the thing, have the thing.
The gross mocha put me over 300 and I didn't even like it.3 -

@midsummer174627 I say the same thing because I love ice cream and have tried to eat the “ice cream” knock offs and yep when it doesn’t melt umm yes that’s not ice cream plus it doesn’t taste that great to me. So if I will have ice cream it will be an experience of really good ice cream and I eat it mindfully. For example had an occasion which I visited the Godiva store and had a dark chocolate cone (250+/-) I think and it was great plus I didn’t eat all of it and nothing came home leaving the occasion to be tempted to overeat. If I just need a frozen treat then I will toss frozen mixed berries over Greek yogurt which makes a concoction that taste great good macros and gives the satisfaction of having a frozen dessert.

Previous Weight: 219.8
Current Weight: 218.1
Slow but steady (I was 240 back in July), I'd like to get down to 215 by New Years which should be realistic as long as I stay consistent with the exercise and be mindful with eating/drinking. I'm already starting to plan out some activities and add them to my calendar to get out of the house during my upcoming time off around the holidays as it's too easy to snack when I'm home.2 -

It was a bummer seeing that number on the scale this week, but it is what it is. I have a lot of work to do, but the good news is that I had a complete physical this past week, and my doctor said all my numbers look good. So I’m healthy, which is a blessing, and awesome. We just talked about weight loss, and how he’d like to see me around 135-145. So, time to put the pedal to the metal, I guess.2 -

Tomorrow is weigh in. Based on the math I expect to stay the same or maybe lose a pound. I use an analog scale so I don’t measure increments of pounds.1
