Steps for Monday, June 15th: 11,349
Tuesday, June 16th: 2,749 I left it on the dumb charger again!!
I’m a little bummed today. I don’t think I’m going to win my dietbet next Tuesday. I have 6 days left to lose 3.2lbs. I know I can and have lost that in a week, but it’s just frustrating that I keep having great weeks and then nothing weeks. I’m not shocked to see barely any movement on the scale right now due to my cycle but it’d be a total fluke if I do end up making it. I started logging 8 weeks ago and if I average it out I’ve lost 2.2lbs a week overall. I know I shouldn’t be upset about this but my dietbet was only 8.8lbs and I felt like that was very attainable. I should probably go to bed; it’s 1am here and I’m probably just overtired and cranky. 🤷♀️2 -
Well what I thought was bad hayfever is in fact a chest infection! This year just keeps on giving!!!
So not much eaten, lots of fluids ie black tea, black coffee and gallons of water. Due to having an awful barking cough. On antibiotics now and it's starting to break up. Not a good thing to get with being asthmatic.
On the plus side I got a replacement fitbit, going back to work on Sunday and hubby is the best he been since his op xxx
You have had a bad run of luck this year. I hope you feel better soon! I am glad your husband is doing well!0 -

Steps: 14,820
Jump Rope: 0 minutes
I'm already slacking...so today...minimum of 15,000 steps and 4 minutes jumping rope (2 for today and 2 to make-up for yesterday).
I am hoping my gym will open soon. I find it way too easy to come up with excuses for not working out at home and I really miss the weights. I know that there are plenty of challenging body weight exercises to build strength, but it's just not quite the same.
Happy Tuesday!
That’s an impressive goal! This pandemic has really changed our lives. I hope your gym opens soon. Have you tried any strength exercises on YouTube?0 -

What is a dietbet? You are doing amazing! That is a great loss in 8 weeks. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Remember scale fluctuations are a part of this journey. I hope you got to bed and got a good sleep.1 -

Tuesday’s check in
Calories: under
Exercise: 44 minute walk
Water: ✅
Steps 6/16 11,940
I have been binge free for a month now. That’s a huge for me. Binging was really holding back my weight loss. I hope to continue with this streak. It is not easy but I am determined.
I walked already this morning as soon as I got up and I will do another walk inside later today. The heat and humidity is back here so early morning walks are the only option right now.
Today’s goals
1. Walk minimum 45 minutes
2. Stay within calorie goal
3. Drink 8 cups of water
4. Bed by 10 pm3 -
I did desperately need the sleep, and thank you so much for your kindness! Yesterday was one of those days where everything in the world just got to me at once. Dietbet is a site where you can join a game and put money down on yourself to lose 4% of your body weight in 4 weeks. It goes against all of the logical things I know, like weight loss isn't linear and some weeks you're going to do everything right but get no results for it, but my sister wanted me to do it with her and I thought it would be fun. It's been a great resource but I don't know if I need to add the pressure of x pounds in x days again after this is over.lindamtuck2018 wrote: »Steps for Monday, June 15th: 11,349

Check-In: Tuesday, June 16

•Water: 3.259 L ✅
•Steps: 9,259 ❌
Sorry for the late check in team. I had a busy day. Got up early for my workout then had to take my car in to the garage for a check. I also did my shopping took my sons tablet and phone in for repair and tried to do some housework that I’ve fallen behind on.
Yesterday was a bit of a tough day for me. It was my moms birthday and I struggled with binge eating and not moving. Other than my morning workout I did nothing at all but sleep on the sofa and eat. On days like yesterday I just don’t want to feel anything. If I’m asleep I don’t think of it and when I eat I’m focused on something else. I miss my mom so much. I wish I could hear her voice again.
I let myself have my bad day but got right back on it this morning. I had a pure cardio session at the gym which will be my new Wednesday routine. And have drank a lot of water and ate as healthy as possible. Even did much better with my snack times. Onward I go.
June goals:
•Log all food. The good the bad and the ugly!
•Stay on or under my allowed calorie goal.
•Do at least 30 minute workout each day.
•Drink at least 2L water each day.
•Reach at least 10,000 steps each day.2 -

Got your steps in. I am the same with home workouts. I really don’t feel like I give it my all when I’m working out at home. I do much better at the gym where my trainer keeps me accountable.Marigorringo wrote: »Steps 15 June 10.459

1/2 a Lb is a great loss. It can’t always be huge losses. Sometimes our bodies need to to adjust with what’s going in before it can start dropping lbs again. Keep doing what you are doing it’s working!Happy Tuesday

Got your steps. I hate when I forget my Fitbit! 😡. I feel naked without it. Well even if you aren’t feeling like you will achieve your diet bet goal I’ve got my fingers crossed for you. You’ve done great whatever the outcome.lindamtuck2018 wrote: »Tuesday’s check in

My heart breaks for you missing your mom. I'm glad you were able to give yourself a day to just be. Sometimes that's the best we can do. It's fantastic that you were able to get back to your routine today.mari_moulin wrote: »Yesterday was a bit of a tough day for me.

Good morning team! It’s a new day and I think It might be another busy one. I have just done my workout and had my breakfast and I’m ready to get the day started. I have to go do some shopping again as I seem to have forgotten half my list yesterday. I also have to start cleaning upstairs today and will have to start clearing out some boxes downstairs. The move isn’t too far away now and I need to get myself organized.
The scale is not looking good at all. I’ve had a spike this week and I can’t seem to make it come down. It’s extremely frustrating but I will not stop trying. Never giving up.

I'm still having lots of issues with my weight. I'm giving it all. I'm even going through some big difficulties and still on my diet. Yesterday even though I knew it was going to rain like crazy I went for that walk. I arrived home completely wet rain-showered but trots op mijzelf3

I can’t imagine how it feels to lose your Mom. Those special days must be tough. Lots of hugs!
Don’t worry about the scale. You are doing the right things and it will click. I love your determination.1 -

Whatever you do don’t give up. That’s impressive to keep up with your diet even in trying times. I hope things get better for you. 🤗2 -

Hi all! Everything is calming down here with our new furbaby. My diet still leaves something to be desired. I really need to start logging daily. My water intake is up. All in all doing better. I'm going to make 1 goal at a time from now on. I get too overwhelmed with too many.
Goal today:
84oz water

Thursday Weigh Day
PW: 252.0
CW: 254.6
Frustrating because I have been pretty good about weighing and logging- not so good on the workouts though. I kind of wonder if this gain isn't a bit of a delayed reaction. I expected a gain on the last weigh-in, but stayed the same. This time I expected a bit of a loss, and got the gain. Go figure😕? Oh well, better days ahead!
Happy Thursday!2 -
