I’m going to school in the fall, just about a month from now. Once, I have moved and unpacked I will resume weekly weigh-ins. I will get weighed once a month when I see my dietician. I will try and be more active on here to support all you fabulous people. Good luck, Downsizers!
I will move you to team support until you are able to weigh in weekly. Good luck with your move and surgery.1 -
Hi everyone, sorry I'm again overdue. From last week, I was trying to get myself out of this funk that I've been in and I can say I'm getting there (or at least starting to). I took a few vacation days and went on three day trips. I walked, but I also ate a lot. My weight is up again, but it's not as up as it was... amazing how you can struggle to lose 1lb for weeks but 6lbs pops right back on the second you eat crap food! I'm now in a StepBet to keep me on track to walk or lose my money, so there's that.

I tried to do the "healthy" thing by limiting my coffee. Well that's no longer happening, coffee is back on my menu. I had 5 large cups today. Soon I'll be back to normal.
I did intervals using my fitbit and then walked. I think it only registered my walk though.
I pray you all have a blessed day.

Happy Saturday friends. It’s weigh in day for me and sadly I’ve come in with a gain. The only thing I can say is I am trying my best. I am working out and making better food choices (kids and hubby had McDonald’s last night and I had chicken breast and salad and only stole a few of their potatoes) and drinking all the water possible. I have been stuck here for so long and I just don’t know what to do to make it budge.

After the ride I had I the scale this week I am pleasantly surprised to see a loss. Next week, I am going to try and not freak out over the fluctuations on the scale. If that doesn’t work I am not going to weigh myself daily the week after.
Granddaughters are sleeping over tonight. I may let them have McDonald’s for supper but I am going to make myself something different. I did my walk shortly after I got up and I increased it to 50 minutes today. Next week I need to concentrate on getting that 30 minute minimum walk( more is better) and the 10,000 steps daily.
Have a fun FriYAY!
Today’s goals
1. Walk 30 minutes minimum ✅
2. 10,000 steps
3. Stay within calorie goal
4. Drink 8 cups of water
5. Bed by 11:30 pm
Yes!! You did it! Back under. Well done choosing to not eat the McDonald’s. I did the same last night. I was late out the hair dressers so we stopped at McDonald’s. I didn’t have any other than the few potatoes I stole odd my kids lol.Megan_smartiepants1970 wrote: »Username: Megan_smartiepants1970

I can understand the stress you must be in with your move. I am in the exact same boat. We are meant to move I to our new place first week of next month. We are having our moving boxes delivered next week so we officially start packing our stuff to get ready ahead of time and not last minute. Wishing all the best over the next month and hope to see you bank very soon ❤️

Got your steps in. I am so happy to see you back here and hope you can continue checking in with us daily. Let us help you get through these hard times. I know we aren’t there physically to help but we are here to listen and encourage you from afar.7/10 steps 20742

Got your steps in. Blessings to you over this weekend as well. BTW. Nothing wrong with coffee unless you add bad stuff to it. I love coffee and have at least 3 cups a day (breakfast, lunch, and 4 pm) but I have it black no sugar or cream. I know it sounds gross but I promise you get used to it.Steps for 7/10: 9,696

I drink 3 to 4 large cups of coffee a day. I do drink it black so I save myself calories on sugar and creamers. Great job on the intervals today!0 -

Maybe your body has decided to plateau here for awhile. As long as you are making the right choices your weight will start moving again. I know I have heard before if you shake up your exercise routine it can move a plateau. Maybe you can change your cardio up?0 -

Fitness challenge: 0 rounds 😞
I am dragging my butt today as I stayed up way to late and I had to get up early this morning. Hopefully, I can get energy and do my walk later today. I am off grocery shopping as soon as I finish my wake up coffee ☕️. The kids will be here for the day and I will probably play another game of monopoly with them.
Our health officer thinks we will be in stage 3 of our opening by the end of July. This means gyms will open. I am going to join the one I used to go to that is only a 10 minute walk from my house. It is a small gym and the people who own it are great. I can start with the machines for now and when I get more confidence I will use free weights again.
Today’s goals
1. Walk 30 minutes minimum
2. 10,000 steps
3. Stay within calorie goal
4. Drink 8 cups of water
5. Bed by 11:30 pm for sure!1 -
