I had a pretty good week overall. Last night I overate and had a lot of salt, which seems to be a pattern for Saturday dinners for me! The extra 2 pounds will probably disappear in a day or two. I seem to be on a plateau as my weight has been teetering between 175 and 178 for many weeks. I know if I cut my target calories down by 200 each day, I would likely break this plateau, but I guess I'm not willing to do that at the moment.0 -
Daily Post... Sunday
Tracked: so far yes and I only have like 274 calories left for the day/dinner
Calories: going to stick to it.. I have roast chicken for dinner and then maybe cucumbers galore.
Exercise: cleaning like crazy. Sweating it up. Moved couches. Cleaned the baseboards even.1 -

I think calories were under but hard to say. I made chicken ala king and relied on selecting a general category to estimate calories instead of entering every ingredient.1 -

Sunday
PW: 104.6
CW: 106.8 (That's not shocking )
Daily Post Sunday
Track: No
Calories: Probably under. I didn't eat anything incredibly horrible. I actually am proud of myself for being mindful even though I didn't officially track anything.
Exercise: 15 mins cardio (unintentionally
)
Day: I had a paper to write so yesterday was a pretty sit down and do it kind of day. My mood and my emotions have been a bit of a train wreck and I've been craving DIET SODA LIKE CRAZY! I usually drink carbonated water, but it's just not cutting it.
Water (goal 40 oz): 24 oz
I was SO motivated from March-May. Then summer hit in Alaska and all the campfire/cook out food really blew me off track. How do you guys get the motivation back? I've gained 6 lbs! That's a lot on my 4'8 frame. (like 2 sizes!) I'm thankful for you guys keeping me accountable.2 -

It’s so hard to get back on track, I feel you! Have you ever tried intermittent fasting? It’s not for everyone but I like it and it makes it easier for me to have like 2 large meals instead of 3 smaller ones -especially on a day where I want a big/special dinner. May be something to consider? Then you could save up your calories for your yummy cookout foods?0 -

God.. I am trying not to get too down about this but it's hard. I am due on my period, and was away celebrating at the weekend so I know it's not s 4lb gain of pure fat, but it is still very disappointing. Being honest with myself I know I haven't been completely on track as I should have been. I guess it should be the motivation to keep my focused more this week.
I have 10 weeks until my wedding. I need to lose at least 8 more lb to feel comfortable in my dress. I haven't tried it on since Christmas, and won't have the opportunity to try it until I fly back home the day before the wedding!
You would have thought this would be motivation enough to stay on track. I don't know what's going on with me.
Onwards and upwards (or downwards as I hope the scale will go)1 -

You’ve got this! It’s a stressful time (wedding and covid! I can’t even imagine) so don’t be too hard on yourself. Can I ask how much weight you’ve lost? (Just curious lol)

@AmyG1982 Thank you. This time I've been losing weight off and on for the past 2 years and have lost around 40lbs. I Which when I think of it like that is kinda crazy as I feel I still look the same as before!
The problem is that my wedding dress is my mother's dress, and when it was made they didn't allow much extra material so it can't be altered. It fit me when I tried it before, but was s little too tight to feel comfortable or confident, and due to the covid situation I haven't been able to fly home again to try it. This makes me anxious - but not enough to stay disciplined all the time!
I hope after this TOM I'll drop the water weight and feel like I'm back on the right track and that my goal is possible!2 -

I know what you mean, I’ve lost 50 (sitting at 40 now cuz I gained some back 🙄) and I don’t really see a difference either (unless I look at old pics and then it’s like, “yikes!” lol). If there are any additional challenges (No going over calories, exercise every day, no junk food, etc) you’d like to try I’d be happy to do them with you! Maybe an accountability buddy would help haha1 -
Talking about challenges, does anyone else have a fitbit? I'd love to have some more friends for friendly competition and motivation.

Today was a pretty good day, I’m trying out something new with intermittent fasting and so far it’s going great the past two days I have been under my calories and I haven’t been super hungry at all I’m super excited 😊
I’ve kind of been MIA super busy but I have been pretty good with my logging! 🥳2 -
Daily post Tuesday
Tracked: yes
Calories: way over
Exercise: sort of
I had a long strenuous work day and agreed to spouses pizza request for dinner. Needless to say I ate 2700 calories today which is almost 1100 over target. I didn’t want to track but reminded myself that tracking is what keeps me mindful and accountable. There will be days like this in the long haul. I used to eat pizza like this once a week and now it’s maybe 4 times a year. This is what balance is all about.2 -

@liveyenna
I'll join you on Fitbit! I love the challenges but it seems most of my friends have stopped wearing theirs so I have no one to compete with! My username is: Amelia D.1 -
@AmyG1982 & @ajdvegan awesome! I'll try to add you both, I kinda forgot how to do that but I'll figure it out.
Edit: I believe I have sent you both a friend request!
Also kind of a silly question considering I have been tracking my food for over 5 months... I hope one of you guys knows the answer. When tracking my meals, should I use the weight of the raw product or should I use the weight for the prepared food? Today I noticed that when I prepare my steak it goes from 170gr to 150gr. (Tracking is also very tricky on pasta btw! But I have that one figured out by now because in the database it says "unprepared whole-wheat pasta".)

I don’t really weigh my food but I believe for meat you do the finished product so you’re not counting the juices that left during the cooking process. Pasta I do uncooked lol0 -
