    Hey everyone, had a great day yesterday. I ate really well with very little snacking, I went for a run in the park and I weighed in today and was the same weight as yesterday so I guess it must be true that you shouldn't weigh yourself everyday but it is a good sign if you are the same weight for a couple of days because then that means you are heading down and not up! It's harder to get to the shops to buy fresh fruit and veg because of the queues here but my husband is great at going to the shops and doesn't seem to mind at all thank goodness, I can't stand queues lol....I mean I'm sure he can't either but I won't say no if he offers to go to the shops right?

    Hope everyone is doing well and staying on track.

    I like logging my weight every day, but it was difficult in the beginning when the weight stayed the same or even increased. But seeing the results over time is so satisfying. I actually weighed 1.6lbs more this morning than yesterday, but I know that it's because it's my TOTM, not that I actually gained 1.6lbs overnight. In a couple of months if you stick with it you'll be able to see the downward trend, too!

    Yes please, count me in.

    I am new here, I joined nine days ago .
    I have shrunk a bit already, most likely water weight, still I am feeling inspired to keep this going.
    Good luck all and feel free to add me for accountability and support. :)

    I keep telling myself that I won’t weigh myself everyday but I still do. I will try to weigh on Saturday morning. I will let you know I am successful. 😊

    Hello everyone,

    I was very busy yesterday and I was not able to post. I am very motivated to reach my goal. Thank you everyone for posting! It helps me so much to know that we are supporting each other. One of my trigger foods is sugar so I haven’t had any since 4/25. I have teenage daughters that bake a lot so it is not that easy. I hope everyone is having a great day! 😊

    Hello everyone
    After joining this group, I am tracking my food every day. And I am doing good so far to maintain my daily intake within 1200 to 1400. I will check my weight on Next Monday if it is working or not or I need to change something. Daily weight fluctuation disappoints me and than emotional eating start.
    Thanks to this group making me more committed

    OK, I'm in. I want to lose 10-12 pounds total, so if I drop 8 pounds in the next 8 weeks, I'd be happy.

    Good morning everybody! I lost weight ...I know at the beginning is easier but I really have to learn to eat mindfully! I am active and I justfy myself with that...I keep saying if I do sport I can eat whatever I want...well it is not exactly like that...35 minutes on a treadmill doeas not justify all that cheese before dinner!!!! With a glass of prosecco! Or two....ops!
    So results! Hope you have a good day...good in a sense that we can take a bit of time for ourselves and see that goal...and do our best to get there!
  • I just found this chat and I would love to join as I also have the goal to lose 15Ib by the end of June. I was up a pound today which was disheartening but managed to resist the urge to buy and eat a bar of chocolate and sleep the whole day and instead go for a fast walk, a short slow jog and my daily ballet class (I am a ballet dancer).

    That is a great idea! I get quite competitive with these types of things. I did one with my husband in our gym and at the end of it the trainer said ah, just let him win! lol! I was like HELL!!!.....N ugh ok

    I know, I never thought it would be difficult to maintain 10,000 steps a day but with this lockdown it is a bit harder to do it..there I said it :blush:

    Hello all!! Hope everyone is having a great morning B)

    I'm feeling better today. I did well yesterday- light dinner, no extra snacking and no alcohol! My weight was is down this morning, thank goodness. Not down to where I was last Friday, but closer. I'm focusing on shedding more water weight off today. Lots of fruits and veggies w/ very little processed foods. Hoping it helps me level out! Wish me luck!!

    Hello everyone,

    I haven’t walked in a couple of days because I was busy coordinating a birthday party for my brother over Zoom. It was last night and we had an awesome time. I was busy also today catching on a few things today but I am determined to walk on my treadmill for at least 45 min😊

    Hi all,

    I’ve been trying to lose 15 lbs for ever. I decided yesterday that I will lose the weight by June 30th. I believe I can do it. I weight 160 and my goal is 145. I would like to find people that need motivation to lose weight and encourage each other . The key is to post everyday even if you are having a bad day. Who would like to join me?

    I am with you!
