@micki48 I would like to start posting my steps daily, as well as my workouts, and a note about eating to provide myself some more accountability. When I go back to work in 2 weeks, I know it is going to be challenging so I want to create some positive habits now. Is that ok?6 -
Great job on your losses team!!
I am feeling pretty good about myself. I am still very stressed out but I am making pretty good food choices. This summer, I really cut back on my drinking. I was 1-3 a night 5-7 nights a week. Now, more at 1-2 a night 2-3 nights. I feel good about that. I am consistently working out 5 days a week. I am logging most days. I am measuring everything. The scale hasn't really reflected any of this, but I feel good about the healthy habits I am developing. I have never been the biggest loser and I think I often frustrated and self sabotage. If I only lose 2 pounds a month, that's still 10 pounds by New Years!8 -
Absolutely! You are doing great - slow still gets you there, and the small changes are usually easier to hang onto. You have lost 1.4 pounds this month, and can easily lose the .6 to hit your 2 pounds over the next 2 weeks, or maybe even more!KellyBgetsfit wrote: »Great job on your losses team!!

We aced it people! #1 team for the week. We tied with the Trimstones for 1st place by percentage, but lost 0.8 pounds more than they did - both teams did a great job. Two thirds of us lost at least a bit this week, so let's keep that rolling for the rest of the month. We can do it!11

Wow, yesterday was a bust! Eating out of control. I just kept snacking so by supper there were no calories left! And no exercise either!
So yesterday was yesterday but today is today. I can't change yesterday but I can control today.
Make it a good one everybody!7 -

thanks @jugar , i'ts a lot of mental work. I've lost this amount of weight a few years ago but put it all back on again. This time I can't put the weight back on again. I need to figure it out and maintain. For me that's harder than losing the weight.

Good evening all!
Just checking in with my steps 😊
Not as good as last week, though./quote]
@ells_runs Actually, your week was BETTER this week than last as our week runs Sunday to Saturday. Way to go with those amazing steps.

The Green Challenge Percentage of people who lost weight this week. No matter how small the loss the weights are recorded in green. Remember slow and steady wins the race!

@KellyBgetsfit That is absolutely fine. Thank you for letting me know. I understand returning to work will be a challenge, so that sounds like a very good plan to keep you on track. Great stepping this week, Kelly.
Also what great progress you have made for your health. All good things. While I totally get wanting those pounds to fly off, losing slowly actually is a good thing from everything I've read and experienced. When I was younger around 30, I lost 50 pounds in 4 months, kept it off for about 5 months, then it started creeping back on until I "found" it all again. Now, at 56, I have lost very slowly, 30 pounds in a year and a half, but like you said being lower at the end of the year is the goal. Keep it up. We are all in this together.

Thanks for the steps so far friends. Missing the following:
@YinxFed missing 7/12 Could you repost if I missed it? or was that a rest day?
@jguldi11 and @evangsimmons170 all week (You are not late, just giving a reminder)
@jugar 7/16, 7/17, 7/18 - I see the totals back. Thanks for fixing that. Also, I don't think Yinka's exercise got entered the last few days of the week, but it was marked "insightful."0 -

Wow, way to knock it out of the park this week team! You're all kicking serious butt and I'm super proud of you.
I made it to the gym today for the first time since I hurt my neck and faced my greatest dislike: the treadmill. Because running has always been such a misery for me but I want to change that if I can.
And I ran for three minutes straight, which is two and a half minutes more than I used to be able to do. Then I did two minutes running one minute walking until I was done, and it was honestly not the worst thing ever.
It really, really hurts my lungs to run, more than any other kind of cardio, and I don't know why. But maybe that means I can make my lungs stronger like this, which would be great.7 -
Good week, everybody!

WOWZERS! Our team did amazing this week. So many awesome things going on around here. I love it🤩🥰🤩
@Terytha Congrats on size 12! And a loose 12 at that. Soon you will be rocking the size 10 jeans. Size 10 is a size I am looking forward to. I remember being really happy as a size 10.
@kellybgetsfit Slow weight loss is frustrating. Nice job cutting back on the drinks too. I know I gain a substantial amount of water weight with just one drink. It's even worse if it's a sweetened drink. It usually takes me 3 days to lose the water weight. Not sure if you are this sensitive to alcohol but something to consider. I rarely drink due to the scale mayhem it causes.
Went huckleberry picking today which was fun but hot! Sounds like @micki48 and @lovethyneighbor had some hot weather too!3 -
@yinxfed Congrats on finally getting that scale moving. Hope you are still doing your workout program and didn't have to abandon it!3

Hi everyone!
We had a good walk yesterday morning before the unbearable heat & humidity slammed into the northeast/Vermont. I was able to get the laundry out on the line but by then it was 85-degrees and by noon, it was already much hotter so, I bagged the idea of swimming for 30-minutes at the pond. Tomorrow morning will be walk and swim morning. My mood requires it!
I'll touch base with my updated plan in the afternoon.
I may need to reboot my phone MFP to make the community section work. It's been funky lately.
Have a good sleep.

Time to get those weigh-ins done! I start tallies bright and early Sunday morning, so try to get those numbers in! If I missed it please re-post - the search function is kaput again... Thanks!
I'm back!
Weigh-in this morning: 239lbs.
That's the same as my last one before I went on the trip which was way lower than it should have been (maybe 4lbs down?) so very happy with that!
Apologies for my absence, things are back to normal now!9 -
Went to a party on Sat, there were of course candid pics taken... Have you ever seen a pic of yourself and been so absolutely horrified at how bad you looked ? Well I was and I will be honest it's really bothering me how old and just ugly I looked in it... It's not even the weight, my skin looked terrible, my face looked droopy, my posture was atrocious...
So I am done with drinking, and smoking... I know those are 2 things that absolutely kill your complexion and skin elasticity or whatever.. those things I can control, and If I am gonna be vain, I have to give those 2 things up, I just can't have both...

Hi Team!
Weigh in today is rubbish! Or though it's my TOTM so I'm blaming it 🙈😂

Week 4
Monday
PW 213.2lbs
CW 212.6lbs
Good luck everyone! ♥️6 -
@Gidgitgoescrazy YES! I know exactly wha you mean. I actually joined MFP 9 years ago when my brother posted a picture of me playing the Wii and I looked horrible. It was a bad angle but still. It motivated me at the time to lose the weight. Now, at 39, I totally get the skin thing. I am obsessed with my skin. And I HATE photos (and zoom calls) because I obsess over my forehead lines. And my big belly. Basically, I can relate, but I have no advice. I have young kids and I want them to remember me, so I stil take photos.4

Sun Steps - 11,435
Sun Workout Barre Blend and Elliptical
Eating - I didn't have enough calories and ended up eating what I made my kids for dinner.
@conleywoods I don't think I am sensitive to alcohol. I haven't noticed a change in the scale when I drink versus don't. It's more about consuming less calories and overall health. I also cut milk out of my coffee and drink it black now.2 -
I've been taking magnesium supplements for 2 weeks and I gotta say, my stomach hasn't felt this normal in a year. I've hardly any pain.
I couldn't say why, but they do say magnesium is good for reducing inflammation so maybe that's it. Hasn't helped my chocolate cravings much, sadly. I'm just too much of a chocoholic it seems.
But, on that note, we're thinking about a weekly chocolate pancake dinner at IHOP. Since they're so good, and since we feel like we should be plugging money back into the economy as much as we can. Especially restaurants, they're hard hit. Our favorite one just closed permanently.
