Steps 8993
Water 128oz
Weight Lifting- Did not do. I had my niece for 12 hours and also it was grocery shopping day so I put it off.
Decluttering- Did not do anything but show my husband some very old hilarious homework he had done in grade school that him mom gave us. Need to finish organizing and put the stuff away, now it's all over the closet and floor. Funny how cleaning and organizing actually makes more of a mess for a bit.
Checked my steps in the early evening and was around 4400. I knew I wouldn't get an evening walk in since I had my niece until 9pm so I turned on a Leslie Sansone Walking video on YouTube. Chose one that said 30 minute fast pace. At the end I had gotten 4000 steps so I was happy. My 2 year old daughter did parts of it with me too, she thought it was funny.2 -
Friday Sept 4 Check in
Scorpiogirl70
Weigh in Day is Monday
Treadmill 1 mile --- no
Water (60 oz) -- 56 ounces [so close, had I actually calculated this last night I would have drank more to get to my 60 ounces]
Workout 3x week -- Tues Sept 1-yes, Wed Sept 2-yes, Thurs Sept 3- yes- COMPLETED
2000 steps -- 1436 steps today
Logged all food/drink -- yes
I am figuring out when I go see my dad, I hardly ever meet the challenges I made for myself. I'm okay with it, I will strive and try to complete them, but seeing my dad is much more important to me then a few ounces of water or a few steps to complete.
Thank you all who gave me advise on quitting smoking. I will be grocery shopping today or tomorrow and will be picking up some sugar free candies.3 -

So, late night cravings and snacks did me in this week. Need to go back to basics yet again!! My one success is that I'm still here! I am refusing to quit ... which is what I would have done in the past because of the struggles I've had with food the last couple of months. Plan to start back up with my other group and threads (stopped posting there 5-6 weeks ago. Maybe it will help me get my brain rewired so I can start losing again.)
So, we start a new month. A new chance to succeed. Good Luck Y'All 🌞3 -

Somethings in life are definitely more important. When my granddaughters are over I never meet my goals. We are too busy doing things. I can live with this.Cesse - age 72 - Weigh-In

I love your determination! Use all your resources to help you with this. I am struggling with binges at night. I gained over 6 pounds this week. It helps me to know I can come here in the morning and say I didn’t binge. Maybe you can try that with the snacking. Be accountable to the group every day with a check in of how you did with the snacking the night before.0 -
Congrats to everyone who had a loss this week .... I have been weighing daily with my new wifi scale so I can see a trend with the app on my phone .. I am not liking it because my weight is back up ....and I haven't done anything different other than working out 5 days a week ...oh and I upped my carbs to low carb (50g) = 10% instead of the keto which is 5% carbs .... I will not give up but I am not happy ...I use a TDEE calculator to determine my calories which includes exercise ...so I eat 2008 calories a day and put a 1 when I workout so that it doesn't change my calories and that it shows when I workout..I find this method easier than MFP ...Hope everyone has a great weekend ... It is going to be 109 here today and 110 tomorrow YUCK ...I am so looking forward to cooler weather1

Daily Post Saturday
Track: Yes
Calories: Just over
Exercise: none
Day: good day, went to visit my parents 1.5 hours away so didn’t exercise but I kept my eating (mostly) in check so I’ll take that as a win. I was even offered ice cream and I declined.
Water: ha. I’m pretty sure I’ve only had 5/10 cups today 😬

LTD (Loss to Date): 48lbs
Recap: This week was mixed - some days were great (I worked out, ate well) and some were awful (<3K steps, domino's pizza). I'll work on being better this week, starting with more consistency and maybe better preparation

Saturday’s check in
Calories: over
Exercise: bowling and 15 minute walk
Water: ✅
Steps: 7,560
DBF: 2
It was nice to eat in a restaurant as this was my first time since the pandemic shut everything down. I did end up going over for the day and I didn’t have correct calorie counts on the food. The good news is I did not binge last night. Yay! We had fun bowling but I would never make a team. Today will be a game day with the grandkids.
Happy Sunday!
Today’s goals
1. No binge eating1 -
Check-in for Saturday, 9/5
Steps: ???
Calories: over
Water: nope
Closed Ring Streak: ???
I forgot my watch charge so my steps haven’t synced. I was able to close my exercise and activity rings before it died and only had 9/12 stand goals met in the 1:00 hour. I would have definitely closed all three rings but I’m not sure if I was able to capture it before the battery died. We are heading home today, so I will have to hustle when I get home if I want to close the rings today. Depending on the time I get home, I may just start all over tomorrow. I’m going to miss the cooler air and views of Sedona, its still 113 degrees at home🥵0
