You know why this happened so next week you got this. I don’t think the scales will be in my favour tomorrow morning either. All part of the ups and downs of this journey.0 -

Thanks also @lindamtuck2018 . I do know that if I stick to my allotted calories and get a little exercise, the weight comes off. The trick is convincing myself to do that consistently 😉. Oh the ups and downs...shooting for down the next week!1

Is Noom expensive? From the little I have seen in advertising is they use cognitive behaviour therapy. Is that correct because CBT works really well? Your weight is coming down nicely. Almost to a new decade!
You are correct, Noom does help you by retraining your thought processes. I jist started. It's a lot to take in but they do it in a way that is fun and I look forward to each days lessons. I'm on a trial right now but its about $80.00 every 3 months.0 -

TGIF team. I’m so sorry I’ve haven’t checked in in a couple of days here.
We’ve started packing here at home and started making trips to the dumpsters and I’m so tired and sore all over. My hip has flared up and it’s only the beginning. I’m sorry to say but I don’t think I’ll be able to catch up with you guys as much as I would like for the next few weeks but I am still here and am still doing the step challenge and helping our amazing captain and new motivators as much as I can. I have not been doing good with food the past few days. I actually had my first McDonald’s last night and it was the first time Since March I think if not earlier in the year. I really dislike it. Hope it’s the last one for the year. My tummy is so bad now and I’ve decided to get fully back on IF as of today. I may not weigh in tomorrow. I’m considering skipping this week due to my hip. I know when my body is sore like this my weight spikes big time.
Anyway wishing you all a great Friday. I won’t do individual check ins today but I’ve seen you all I’ve ready all your posts. Keep on keeping on team and stay strong ❤️❤️❤️
July 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.

Good morning amazing people!
Today I'm going to sleep at the hospital, so tomorrow I won't be able to do my weight in day.
I give my weight today instead 130,4 kg = 287,4 lbs
And my steps:
Tuesday 14 : 11.553 steps
Wednesday 15: 11.980 steps
Thursday 16: 23.994 steps
And i will be in the room full of cables and everything so I don't know if I will be able to do sport in the room
And I don't know if the WiFi will work... 4 -

Not too bad for having a complete off-week - I thought I'd be back at 197 or something so very happy!! I'm going to London for all of next week, I will do my best not to fall off the wagon - I packed my running gear!

I don’t envy you having to move! That is awful that your hip is bothering you. Try to rest it as much as you can which I know is easier said than done right now. Don’t worry if you can’t catchup as much as we understand how busy and stressful a moving can be.0 -

I guess you are getting your sleep study done. Take today as a rest day from exercise and you can start again tomorrow.

I am not surprised I am up almost a pound. I had 2 big binges this week and a smaller binge last night. It scares me to binge 3 times in 1 week as I hope I am not going down that dark path again. It is very hard to lose weight and binge. Due to the binges, my average calories for the week was pretty darn close to maintenance.
The grandkids are coming to hang out today as my daughter is working. They will have another sleepover tonight. We are going to walk to Tim Hortons for some lunch. I plan on having a turkey bacon club which is 400 calories. The kicker is the sodium content. I will avoid donuts or Timbits.
Happy Friday!
Today’s goals
1. Walk 30 minutes minimum ✅
2. 10,000 steps
3. Stay within calorie goal
4. Drink 8 cups of water
