I had lost about 50 lbs, but have gained back 25.
I'm trying not to beat myself up over it, but honestly that's been hard. I used to go to the gym daily, but now I just can't get myself to go. I need to get back on track and move forward. Joining back in on this thread is my first step.
So JFT (11/2/20):
Log all my food
Go for a walk
Drink 40 oz water
Take my vitamins!
Sarah!!!!! YOU'RE BACK! So happy to see you! Don't beat yourself up! You're still down 25 lbs! You'll get the other back off. I've been on this thread since Joan started it in 2015, and I've gained a little bit every year, but have worked through so many other emotional, stressful life things by coming here and I think I'm finally in a place where I'm ready to really focus and drop the weight. I have been MIA off and on this year, so I'm trying to get back in the habit of coming daily again. This year has been a doozy for everyone I think! (((HUGS)))
We've got this!3 -

@mytime6630 My story in a couple of paragraphs...
I have been with you since 2015! If I remember correctly, I think @bookmeister86 has too?
My story is that I have been struggling to lose weight for years, but only about 20 lbs or so. When I joined MFP, I had gone through treatment for breast cancer during which I had gained weight putting me higher than I'd ever been...I don't remember the number exactly, but it was the 190's, and I'm 5'4". Steroids and hormone blockers really did a number on me. I was depressed, anxious and overweight when I joined. When I found your JFT in 2015, I was so excited. I had never thought of making daily goals instead of yearly goals. What a great idea!
I feel like this group is what helped me get through a very difficult time and make a huge decision that was lifechanging. After nearly 30 years at one organization doing the same type of work, the stress finally was not worth the toll it was taking on my life, and I changed careers and organizations. I used Just For Today to help work through the emotional, stressful baggage and struggles and to try to not eat my emotions during that time. It was the best decision I ever made, but it was huge and I couldn't have made it through that year without this group and ya'll.
Now, due to my position being eliminated from the Covid shutdowns, I have decided to be retired 5 years early and I'm on a whole new journey. I love this group. It helps me not just with weight, but it helps me with life changes.
I will never be able to thank you enough for thinking of and starting Just For Today 5 years ago. I have made who I consider lifetime friends on this thread and can't imagine not having it! It's kind of like an online "home"...always here when you need to come back and always with arms wide open!

My husband finished painting the basement walls for me yesterday! Yea!!! They're white now, which really brightens it up and helps it to not look nearly as dingy as it did. Now I get to rearrange furniture and my sewing room however I want, and it will now be my sewing room, book nook, and treadmill/work out area. We still need to get the floor carpeted, and put more light fixtures in the ceiling since there's just one small window on my side, but it's done enough to spend some time organizing and deciding how it want it to ultimately be. Pretty exciting! I'd only been asking for this for 5 years now... I have some bright quilt wall hangings to put up and some other pictures that will make it bright and inviting. I plan to spend time down there sewing, reading in my recliner, watching movies or working out. I never thought I'd have my own space like this, so I'm pumped!
I've been going through bags, boxes and bins of clothing that was stored down there. Laundering it and diving into keep, toss and donate piles. Boy, is that ever a good time....
I'm hoping to finish up today and I'm in the mood to toss so hopefully I finally just tell myself if I haven't worn it since 2011, I'm probably not going to be able to fit into it again ever and it'll be out of style anyway! Why is that so hard? 🤪
Well, I'd better get my goals written down since it's already 2:00 p.m. I'm really forgetful these days, so my list might have lots of details but I need this to be a running to-do list for my day as well.
Just for Wednesday:- Journal food & water intake in MFP and close food journal at the end of the day.
- #NoBS Weightloss 24H Plan and Assess
- 64 oz water: Fill two 1 Quart jars full of water and set on counter in plain sight. Drink these before 7:00 p.m.
- Activity: 7000 steps. 10 stairs. Lymphatic massage, as well as gentle chair yoga or light weight arm work.
- #NoBS Weightloss Journal tonight
- Close kitchen at 7:30
- Evening Routine: Remove make up and moisturize, brush & floss, gratitude journal. daily readings in SA and by JM/DO, read something for pleasure, lights out 10:30 pm. Set alarm and get up early tomorrow morning!
Ongoing- Write Matthew a letter and MAIL IT!!!
- Finish Keep/Toss/Donate sorting
- Organize basement area. Start with sorting, folding and giving fabric a home! What a mess!
- Run to the quilt shop for fabric remnants or leftover squares/strips to make Christmas stockings.
WOTY 2020: Persistence!
🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
1 urge, 1 choice, 1 change, and 1 pound at a time will get me to goal. It's not a race...it's just every day life.

So I've come up with a plan! I've fallen out of the habit of my skin care routine everyday so I decided to move my medication to the bathroom. Usually it's next to my bed. But this way I HAVE to go into the bathroom at the end of the night and the next morning. I won't have to force myself (and not) to go. There's no way around it. I have to. So we'll see how this works. I think it'll work out well though.5

Well I failed my goals yesterday and was so busy today I couldn’t even find time to log in and post any.
Tomorrow is also going to be an insane day as we are having a team building day. No computer time at all.
I will be back on Tomorrow night to say hi though and will post goals again on Friday.
I know this works for me, I just need to figure out how to make it a priority again.
Love all the stories. @HEGoddard0928 your dishes gave me many days of laughter all with love and kindness in my heart.

4. apple in the evening .. and water>:)
5. get back on here. Be accountable
Well... as I do so often .. 2 really good days, then a day where my "day" was good, but my evening not so good. I had about 8 cookies left. .. which I froze. Well. ended up eating all 8 cookies. but .. the good news was that I walked 6 miles this morning and worked in the yard all day.
I am stressed because our daughter is sick.. so we told her she cannot come in our patio room.. that the visits this week will have to be outside just to be sure she does not have covid (she works in nursing homes and does home health care). so I think that was part of my mindless eating .. since I have been unable to reach her all day. She is probably OK, but like a mom... I worried about worse case senario. Plus ... being overly tired.
but tomorrow is a new day, and I'lll do better tomorroew (at least all the cookies are gone).
JFT, Fri, 11/5
1. log all food
2. mindful eating
3. concentrate on water
4. water in the evening ... only a apple for snack.. then more water
5. get back on here .. be accountable.

Not committing to working out: And I didn’t
Make good choices, don’t duck into a drive through: Did well on the road and through dinner. Amazing how many calories are in a DQ Buster Bar

Eat dinner and the table and walk afterwards, both unplugged. Do not eat on the couch: Ate at the table but didn’t stroll afterwards. Snacked on the couch which put me over the limit

So I remember the skin care when I got up this morning! Very proud of myself. Lol. Let's see if I remember tonight.
Also proud bc I went to Walmart yesterday and ignored all of the 75% off candy AND didn't stop at McDonald's on the way out! Those are two of my biggest downfalls about this time of year. Well the candy anyway. Lol. Matt really wants me to get some but I've had to put my foot down. His weight has leveled out. He hasn't gained or lost anything in months while I've done nothing but gained. So just bc he can eat all the candy he wants, I can't. And I do the shopping. Lol. So he's out of luck.
I have a long list today but oh well. We'll see what I can get done.3 -

Happy Scale weight trend ⬇️ 0.6 lost in last 7 days
Today I will have one of my winter traditions. I will light the log burner and open my Christmas edition of Good Food magazine whilst enjoying smoked salmon and fizz. I’ve no idea what Christmas will be like this year (the first without my mum and probable Covid restrictions) but I’m trying not to dwell on things I can’t change.

Oh my goodness, the struggle to ignore the scale is so real. I must have wanted to pull it out at least a dozen times between yesterday and today. But I won’t do it. It is showing me how dependent I really was before. I feel like there was a borderline addiction to it, and that is not healthy. So, just for today, Friday November 6th, I will:
•Stay away from the scale!!
•Work
•Work out
•Fast
•try to create some video content
•Contact the internet company about setting up services in the new office.
•SFP module
It’s a lot, I’m feeling ambitious!

✅The power is back on! I’ve been on a plateau for several months. I’ve had to take a hard look at my eating and activity level. I reassessed my calorie goal and I hope this helps. I did log everything yesterday but that was the only goal I hit.

Only eat one serving
Eat an afternoon snack so I’m not starving after work

I didn’t eat an afternoon snack but I did eat a more substantial lunch so I was able to make better choices for dinner.

Well, only that one goal was met.
@TiffanyPe17 i feel you about the scale. I’ve been weighing daily and it mostly depresses me. I don’t know if I can go a whole month but I am going to try once a week. I’m also going to try going back to the gym. I’ve been scared so we’ll see how I feel after.
JFT
Log everything ✅
Eat only one serving
Aerobic exercise
I went back to the gym and I can see why I’ve gained back some weight. There’s no comparison between me doing some low impact aerobics and using the elliptical. I felt the difference immediately. It was a great stress reliever as well.

Eat one serving at a time

The one goal I’m struggling with is to only eat one serving. Especially at night.

@HEGoddard0928 - McDonald's gets me a lot too. I think it's my favourite food. I used to get a burger and coke to eat while shopping. Wearing a mask has stopped that habit though.
Is there any candy that Matt likes and you hate? That's what I do with ice cream. I only like vanilla and chocolate, so I buy everything but those for Rodger when he has a hankering for it.
@zizzybumble - that sounds like a nice tradition. Did I miss something about your Mum?
@TiffanyPe17 - I weigh myself daily, I tried the weekly thing and it actually made me more upset than daily. The daily shows me the fluctuations and when I look at them over a period of time it showed me that was normal and I was still losing. I'm not right now, but I know it's because of my diet and lack of exercise.
Yesterday we had our team building day, it went a lot better than I was expecting and I hope that some of the things we learned and did changes our environment for the better.
