    Hi Team
    I am Rochelle and I am from Canada but living in Michigan USA. I am 33 years old, no children yet but we have a couple of fur babies a husky and a golden retriever. My highest weight was 278 back in December of 2013. Since then I have been up and down, I tend to do good for a couple months and then things tend to derail, I am hoping this time is for good. My last restart was May 1 of this year at 244.9

    Sunday June 28 check in
    Steps 6249
    Water- semi okay, 1.7L
    Food tracking - fail

    July’s goal
    - get back on track drinking water
    - Log food
    - Do exercise in the mornings before it gets too hot.

    I am not far from Michigan. I am 1 hour east of Port Huron.

    Monday’s check in
    Calories: under
    Exercise: 45 minute walk
    Water: ✅

    Steps 6/29 13,071

    Today I am going to the beach with my daughter and grandkids. We are taking the kids to a fry place for lunch. I will only get the smallest order possible. I should be able to stay under my calorie goal for the day. I have supper on in the slow cooker so I don’t have to worry about that when I get home. I only got a little over 15 minute walk this morning as I had a lot to get done. I will try for another 15 when I get home but I don’t think I will get my 10,000 steps in today.

    Happy Tuesday!

    Today’s goals
    1. Walk 30 minutes minimum
    2. Stay within calorie goal
    3. Drink 8 cups of water
    4. 10,000 steps

    Amazing loss!! Well done this week 👍🏻

    Hi team DOWNSIZERS! I'm Stephi from Germany (please don't mind my English spelling). I am 28 years old and currently weigh 87 kg / 191.8 lb. Four years ago I weighed 65 kg / 143.3 lb. Since I changed my job (I now work in an office) and have been in a relationship for just over 4 years I have gained a lot of weight. I would love to maybe one day fit back into my old clothes (since I have so many) so I'm looking forward to the next weeks with you guys.

    My highest weight was: May 2019: 94,6 kg / 208.5 lb
    Lowest weight without proper effort: September 2019 80,3 kg / 177 lb
    Current weight: June 2020 87 kg / 191.8 lb

    Since I don't have a step tracking device except from my iPhone which I don't carry around with me all the time I can't really track my exact steps but my goal is to go for a 5 k / 3.1 mile walk every evening. :smiley:

    I eat mainly plant based and try to cook everything myself. I prep smoothies in mason jars and freeze them so I haven't really been weighing out all my ingredients.

    That's all for now but I will be checking in every day and cheering you guys on. :smiley:

    I'm very happy to be part of this team! x

    Welcome to the team! I’m in France so not too far from you! I’m happy you’ve joined us and alloys to join you on your journey!

    I also love quiche and love making my own. We can easily buy them ready made but it’s just not the same. I make a mean Mexican quiche!

    Sunday’s check in
    Calories: under
    Exercise: 48 minute walk
    Water: ✅

    Steps 6/28 10,958

    Self care challenge: declutter and cleaned stand in kitchen (long overdue)

    My water weight from my pizza indulgence Friday night is almost gone. We had breakfast for supper last night so I think the bacon and sausage will cause it to hang around for another day or two.

    I am trying this week to rid myself of my Cheerios for a snack at night habit. They are to high in sugars and my blood glucose readings have been sneaking up in the mornings lately. I like them cause I would eat one cheerio at a time and it makes the snack last forever. Now to figure out something I like that will like and take me awhile to eat.

    Have a super day all!

    Today’s goals
    1. Stay within calorie goal
    2. Walk minimum 30 minutes ✅
    3. Drink 8 cups of water
    4. 10,000 steps
    5. Bed by 10:30 pm

    Great job with the self care! I love doing breakfast for supper. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and when I get to do it twice I’m a happy girl. Good luck finding an alternative snack to Cheerios. Not easy finding a low calorie alternative to something like that. Other than fresh cut veggies 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m clueless.

    I remember that from before. I am in London. We went to Port Stanley today, so we drove right past St. Thomas. As long as you keep trying you are winning. I shudder to think where I would be if I ever stopped trying.

    Happy Hump Day teamsters!! 🐪

    Today, I chose sleep over the Gym. I felt I needed it more than the cardio. Not to worry tho I have planned a walk later this evening. I haven’t been getting nearly enough sleep as I’ve been getting up at 4:30 in the morning just to have the time I need for the gym before the family wakes up. It’s taken a toll on me and now I feel like I need to fix my sleep problems. I will have to start taking naps if I will be getting up that early. Next week things should be a little better but will still need to and an hour nap in the day to help balance it out.

    It will be another busy day for me today. I have 2 appointments one this morning and one this afternoon. Plus it’s Wednesday so I need to do my shopping. Wishing you all a wonderful day ☺️❤️

    •Food:

    3 small (but well filled) store bought white tortilla wraps with homemade filling (mushrooms, red bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, onion, black beans, spices and bbq sauce wrapped in endive and Lollo Rosso lettuce + wheat wraps)

    Half a kohlrabi

    Fresh red currents

    Medium size (looked huge to me 😁) Frozen Yoghurt with fresh watermelon as topping 🍉🍦

    •Water: 3 Liter

    •Exercise: 5 km / 3.1 mile walk walk uphill elevation gain 163 m / duration 0:56:42 💪🏻💦

    •Highlights: managed my first Liter of water on empty stomach in the morning before eating solid food, bought 10 lavender sachets on amazon yesterday after a huge moth flew out of my closet as I opened the closet door 😝 - sachets arrived today and I have put them in every corner I could find, little nail filing spa moment 💅🏻, treated hubby to frozen yogurt but was a good girl only getting watermelon as my topping 🍉🍦

    •Notes: •Still hoping for our swimming baths to open soon. It’s closed due to Covid. They offer „early-bird swimming“ from 6:30 am until 8:00 am for only $2.25.

    Great looking day there! Man you got me craving some rummy wraps filled with all that goodness! I might make it tonight’s dinner! Good job with your eater intake and workouts. It’s such a good idea to get that eater in in a fastes state. It gets the metabolism working before we start eating. Well done! 👍🏻

    Working on getting everything back to normal and that will come, I start off each day good and then as the day goes on I lose track.

    Great job with your steps! Just do things one step at a time. One change at a time and do the best you can every step of the way. If things go bad forgive yourself and pick yourself back up.
    Between the new job and just ick I've gotten bad at remembering to weigh in.

    Got your steps in! Let’s try to get those numbers up friend. I know you can do it!

    Woow your amount of steps are amazing!! Great job!!

    Thank you but this was an exception lol. I had my usual workout plus lots of walking to and from school and cleaning house and Zumba fitness in the evening. My knees were killing me by the end of the day. It’s no wonder. I was shocked at my own step numbers!

    You have the most delicious food! I am coming to Germany to eat at your house. lol


    We have enough space so anybody heading our way is welcome to stay over. 😃 But I must say we don't live in the most exciting city of Germany.
    I've been buying fruit and veg in bulk on either the Friday or Saturday market and then making the most out of it. I got a huge huge huge (5 kg) bag of spinach which I made the quiche, the soup, 14 smoothies from and froze the rest. It took a few hours but I had a few meals prepped.

    It is not a huge gain. You have done so well since you started. There are going to be little bumps in the road.
