    Highest Weight: 234
    October 1st Weight: 211.2
    Current weight: 212.2

    October Weight lost so far: 0 pounds stay tuned 🪄

    ⭐️October 1… 211.2… up a pound from
    yesterday’s month end low, but I had a feeling it would rebound a bit.

    ✔️9,585 steps from cutting the grass and cleaning up the garden. I should have taken before and after pictures.
    ✔️Ate well over calories. The Snacky Stress monster is back! October is a crazy month of college applications, FASFA, & her last SAT test.

    ⭐️October 2…211.6…I was stress eating yesterday for my daughter, but today I’m over it! I’ll put my nervous energy to good use and dance while she takes her SAT this morning, and I’ll clean up her room and bathroom…which will make me feel better! HAPPY SATURDAY!

    ✔️I agree! Weekends are hard… ate well over my calories… felt so over stuffed when I went to bed… thought for sure that the scale would read higher, but it will catch up with me. ⭐️October 3…210.9…👍

    ✔️6,072 steps… under my 7,000 step goal
    ✔️ATE UNDER CALORIES! This is day 1 of my under calorie streak! I can feel it!

    ⭐️October 4…211.4…there is the correction from Friday night’s Jimmy John’s sub. I have to learn to put half of it away in the refrigerator for the next days lunch or dinner instead of eating ALL of it in 1 sitting. Self discipline!

    ✔️Ate over my calories…I have to learn to savor and save. If I’m going to eat the brownie, I can portion it better and save some for later. With treats I’m more like a squirrel 🐿 that jams all of the nuts 🥜 in its mouth. 🤣

    ⭐️October 5…212.6… the backslide has begun… and I’m going to stop it right now! It’s time to dance with Gina B on UTube and get my day moving on the right foot. 💃🏻

    ✔️9125 steps from Day 5 10 minute walking workout with Gina B and walking Roxie for 15 minutes.
    ✔️Ate under my calories! Only ate 1/2 a brownie today and said no to the large chocolate bar I was craving. Hope the scale is kind.

    ⭐️October 6… 212.1… whew! Moving downward again. Looking forward to seeing the 211’s and the 210’s soon.

    ✔️13,367 steps.. repeat Gina B walk and Roxie walk… and some yard work.
    ✔️Was having an “at calorie goal” day, but overate chips in the evening.

    ⭐️October 7…212.2…glad I didn’t go up much after yesterday. Already on a good start with exercise… just need to keep the calories in check. Today is a clean up house day, then back to work tomorrow. Happy Thursday!

    Started logging my food. I eat too much! Yes it's all healthy but too much is too much (sadly oatmeal and squash even tho I like you) so cutting back in am and evening by staying busy and going to bed earlier.

    @speedyme That's where I'm at too! And sounds like wonderful plans with beautiful terrain!

    What is everyone's healthy snack?

    Yesterday and this am, I went through a ?head of celery at work. Gotta find some thing(s) high fiber, insignificant calories, some flavor please, cheap, to munch on. Already drinking my quota of water & chewing gum.

    My favorite healthy snack is shredded lettuce and ranch dressing…. Just a smidge.

    @cory17 If it's after dinner, a 16oz mug of chai tea or chocolate chai teas with or without sweetner. For me, thirst sometimes feels like hunger and I try not to eat after 7:30pm until breakfast. When I'm really snacky I go brush my teeth. Nothing tastes right after toothpaste.
    DH snacks on Activia after dinner.

    Came across a fairly recent photo of myself w/a couple friends. Had an apple looking stomach, out past the bust (standing up). Shocked me, guess my denial is or was deep and wide.

    thanks @jm216 !

    Been having difficulty getting my fluids in lately. Used to add the sugarfree flavoring packets to my water and really liked the sweet taste but trying to stop the chemicals. Brought in some tea from home and it's day 2 of hot matcha mugful in the morning. Tomorrow going to remind myself to make it first thing. Satisfying!

    A little late to the party . . . after losing a good amount of weight and keeping it off for a decent amount of years. The weight started creeping back on and then 2020 happened and being furloughed for 18 months I am back at work full time. To no surprise, none of my work clothes fit. Glad I can sew and made myself a few outfits but I just do not feel the same. Add in the 10 years from previous weight loss and it is definingly a different game this time around. But I am in it for the glory (aka healthy and happy)! I did a reset of sorts, cutting down the exercise to focus on cutting down my daily calories so just now getting back to into the gym and trying to get more active. Working around a plantar fasciitis injury on my right foot so its been slow. Current weight 213 - Goal weight 170 (hopefully this will get me back into my clothes)! No real rush but I hope to see some change by the end the year.

    Jill - you're so good with getting those steps in
    @adc - are you wearing one of those boots for the plantar fascitis? trying to sleep with that was a thumbs down.

    went for labwork on sat and triglycerides are out of range, more reason to do this

    Glad to have you here!
    I have started here lots of times too… but those were just practice for this journey. 😁

    Highest Weight: 234
    October 1st Weight: 211.2
    Current weight: 208.2

    October Weight lost so far: 3 pounds 🪄❤️
    Goal: 2 pounds

    ⭐️October 1… 211.2… up a pound from
    yesterday’s month end low, but I had a feeling it would rebound a bit.
    🎃Happy October 1st!🐈‍⬛

    ✔️Weighed in
    ✔️9,585 steps from cutting the grass and cleaning up the garden. I should have taken before and after pictures.
    ✔️Ate well over calories. The Snacky Stress monster is back! October is a crazy month of college applications, FASFA, & her last SAT test.

    ⭐️October 2…211.6…I was stress eating yesterday for my daughter, but today I’m over it! I’ll put my nervous energy to good use and dance while she takes her SAT this morning, and I’ll clean up her room and bathroom…which will make me feel better! HAPPY SATURDAY!

    ✔️I agree! Weekends are hard… ate well over my calories… felt so over stuffed when I went to bed… thought for sure that the scale would read higher, but it will catch up with me. ⭐️October 3…210.9…👍

    ✔️Weighed in
    ✔️6,072 steps… under my 7,000 step goal
    ✔️ATE UNDER CALORIES! This is day 1 of my under calorie streak! I can feel it!

    ⭐️October 4…211.4…there is the correction from Friday night’s Jimmy John’s sub. I have to learn to put half of it away in the refrigerator for the next days lunch or dinner instead of eating ALL of it in 1 sitting. Self discipline!

    ✔️Ate over my calories…I have to learn to savor and save. If I’m going to eat the brownie, I can portion it better and save some for later. With treats I’m more like a squirrel 🐿 that jams all of the nuts 🥜 in its mouth. 🤣

    ⭐️October 5…212.6… the backslide has begun… and I’m going to stop it right now! It’s time to dance with Gina B on UTube and get my day moving on the right foot. 💃🏻

    ✔️9125 steps from Day 5 10 minute walking workout with Gina B and walking Roxie for 15 minutes.
    ✔️Ate under my calories! Only ate 1/2 a brownie today and said no to the large chocolate bar I was craving. Hope the scale is kind.

    ⭐️October 6… 212.1… whew! Moving downward again. Looking forward to seeing the 211’s and the 210’s soon.

    ✔️Weighed in
    ✔️13,367 steps.. repeat Gina B walk and Roxie walk… and some yard work.
    ✔️Was having an “at calorie goal” day, but overate chips in the evening.

    ⭐️October 7…212.2…glad I didn’t go up much after yesterday. Already on a good start with exercise… just need to keep the calories in check. Today is a clean up house day, then back to work tomorrow. Happy Thursday!

    ✔️Gave into snacking on chips… again. Time to stop the self sabotage and only eat chips with a meal, because they are not satisfying as a snack… you know this, and you’ve got this , Jill.

    ⭐️October 8… 212.2 holding steady, but when I get snacking back under control it will move downward. I’m worth it, so I have to stop giving in to overeating. I can conquer 2.2 pounds and get into the 210’s by the end of October.
