Tracked: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: yes
Steps: 8,125
Water: 100oz
Plan & Followed food: yes, although I had to substitute turkey for chicken, because I forgot to defrost. All other parts of plan were spot on!
Exercise 30min: no, because I broke my exercise up today instead of all at once.
Edit: I also wanted to add that they put a flyer up at work for a "The Biggest Loser Challenge" at work, and I am going to sign up tomorrow! It will run January 13 through mid-April(I think) and they have a couple prizes... and the results are percent-based instead of pounds, so it's more fair! I figured why not!6 -
Mini Accountability Challenge for NerdyPrincess92
6th Jan
Logged: yes
Under cals: yes
Exercise: yes - 30min walk
Water: 5 glasses (just over 1L) (I can't work out which oz measurements you're using so I use glasses or bottles)
Thoughts: still feeling unwell, had a headache most of the day and was hungry - until I realised I wasn't hungry I was just in my holiday snacking routine and my head was telling me I wanted something. After a few mins of being busy the feeling went away so clearly I wasn't really hungry.
Planning to make spag bol tomorrow night and will save the majority of my cals for that (cursed pasta) looking forward to it already!
I hope everyone has had a good day / week so far
Can we post randomly in here too or is it just for checking in?4 -

6th of January
1. Log everything : Yes
2. Stay inside your allotted daily calorie budget : yes (ish)
3. Do at least 20 minutes of activity daily. yes, walks
4. Report each day - no I didn't get chance yesterday to report here in the evening. First day no reporting but my son needed a good chat with me and we were all very tired & ready for bed after
I am full week logging now
I looked and my in and out and I have been creating deficit of nearly 500 calories a day average, so enough to lose a pound.
Good slow start, considering I had two meals and out but my calorie intake due to the to days out on average was bit on the high side for weight loss.
I will be trying to cut down few more calories.
I am having troubles sleeping and at night I am used to snacking few pieces of fruit to give me some quick energy. I have enough for dinner so I shouldn't need that. I would love to stop eating after dinner - any tips on night time snacking?

Hi
250ml is ±8.5oz.
I believe there are little gremlins that sit on our shoulders whispering in our ears ever day. I am sure they are responsible for enhancing smells of food, then they try and convince us that a tiny mouthfull will be ok. The moment we take that 1st bite, they jump for joy and then they really go for it. Before you realise it, you have eaten a lot more than just a tiny mouthfull of something that didn't even taste as good as you imagined it would be.
I am trying to learn how to ignore that pesky voice whispering in my ears.

This sounds like a great additional motivator Christine! I’m sure with your consistency as well you’ll be in with a great shot for some of those prizes 👍🏻 a little extra motivation never hurts!!

@nerdyprincess92 you did a great job yesterday! I use ounces for the water challenge feel free to post in here whenever you want! 0 -
Morning everyone, hope you all have a great day!
Positives for this morning - my daughter has been getting up really, really early recently which has been tough but this morning we made it to 5am and rather than dwelling and doing a silent scream at how tired I am, I decided just to get up and start the day. So glad I did! I’ve managed to do my yoga for the day, have a coffee, cook breakfast and prep the slow cooker for dinner in the 2 and a half hours I’ve been up already and I still have another half hour until I need to think about leaving for work. Feeling productive!
I’m doing the Yoga with Adriene 30 day Home programme on YouTube. Is anyone else following it here? I’ve loved it so far.4 -

@Coral333 thank you! My losses have been very slow over the last 6 months, so I am not super confident in placing in the contest! The motivation just sounds good to me! 0 -

@Coral333 that is an awesome way to get your morning started! I tried the 30 days with Adriene and really liked it, but couldn't keep my focus for more than a week. I do need to get back to trying it again! I like her personality and how she acknowledges the different ways to accomplish different poses. Have a good day at work!1 -

Consistency is what wins the race. How many times have most of us not started a weight loss programme. We jump out of the blocks at the speed of light, live on air and lettuce, loose weight fast and furious and then, .... we can't sustain the pace, air don't feed us, and we then give up. We then gain more than what we lost and a few weeks/months later we try again, and again, and again.
Rather go for slow, use the competition at work as added incentive, but don't let it overwhelm you. In the end the overall result is that as you loose, you are winning the fat race even if you don't win the price.3 -
Weigh In- Jan 7
SW:240

I didn't lose, but I'm not going to dwell on it.From everything I have been reading, not getting enough sleep does affect a persons actual ability to lose weight as fast as they used to. Even though it's not falling off me, I have noticed that my glucose readings are much lower and are steadily dropping. I am especially happy with that. I am staying under my calories, so the other will eventually drop.
1. Log everything : YES
2. Stay inside your allotted daily calorie budget: YES
3. Do at least 20 minutes of activity daily:. YES Step Challenge : 6000 sets/NO (4416 steps)
4. Report each day : yes2 -

You are so right! In 2014 I lost 75ish pounds in about 6mos. While I really got myself in the best shape of my life, my methods were completely unsustainable and I gained all but 2lb back, lost all motivation and ate like a pig. It is sometimes discouraging, but I am happy with my progress this time around!

I also need something right before I go to bed or I have trouble falling asleep. So I usually have a single Ak-mak cracker (22 calories) at bedtime. Does the trick for me. If I'm feeling really hungry, I add about 7 grams or Maranatha Organic Peanut Butter (44 calories) and I feel satisfied and ready to fall asleep. The main thing is that I accept that this is a habit that I usually need in order to sleep. Sleep is important. So I have found a "go to" that I don't have to think about at night and it's something that I'm not tempted to keep eating. I focus on quantity/quality of the food I eat during the day. I allow myself this at night because it works for me. --- Now to work on forcing myself to turn off my laptop and not watch the next episode of whatever I'm viewing on Netflix. That's seems to be my current bedtime problem.
