A day late but was on holiday.

STEPS.....36861
Very happy that I stayed the same as I been away and ate loads. Fish and chips, cake, chocolate and 4 bottles of wine!! Not as much walking as I wanted but hubby got breathless on any incline or distance(due to his bypass)
A great week away though.1 -

Weigh in Day is Monday
This week
PW: 212.6 pounds
CW: 217 pounds
GAIN: 5.6 pounds-- YIKES!
I knew it would be a gain with my counts this past week. Time to get serious about this if I want to make or be at least close to my goal by November. This quitting smoking is killing this goal. I figure the quitting smoking goal is more important then the weight at the moment. I can work on the weight harder after the smoking is done.

Okay I have changed back to the MFP method ...I had the wrong activity level ... I was going by what I do exercise wise not what I do otherwise ...So I was eating way to much ...calories are set at 1650 + the calories I burn from working out ....I am also going back to weighing myself so I have that data ...I am hoping that I have it honed in
I hope this works for you. Are you going to eat all your exercise calories back? I have read so many varying opinions on this.
I will be putting what my fitbit says that I burned .....I weighed myself this morning and it said 237.2 so we will see what it says on Friday
I just sync my Fitbit with mfp. That way everything is done for me and no calculating.A day late but was on holiday.

Glad you enjoyed your holiday. Now I want fish and chips. 😂 Maintaining while on vacation is pretty darn good.ScorpioGirl70 wrote: »Scorpiogirl70

It is a 4.4lb gain not 5.6 so that is a little better. Quitting smoking has to be tough. Do the best you can with the weight loss but I think the no smoking is so important. Just the fact you are aware of that quitting tends to make you eat more should help. I am impressed with your determination to quit.0 -

Well my supper was delicious last night. I love trying new recipes but I am so nervous that they won’t return out. My husband is a typical meat and potatoes guy so getting him to try something different is hard.
I had my granddaughter again this morning as my daughter has school today. I walked Norah to school so I got my walk in early this morning.
Goals for week
1. Walk at least 30 minutes 5x/week
2. Stay within calorie goal

Daily Post August 21
Yesterday went well. Day 1 of getting rid of the sugar cravings and back to my healthy lifestyle. The kids had cake after my son got home from school and now it is all gone, whew. There was a piece left but I managed to throw it away with their plates and declare the cake gone. I took my son to school, came home and ate lunch and then went for a walk around the neighborhood for an hour. I felt hungry all day from cravings but managed to stick to my meals and healthy snacks.

Another day back on track. I did weigh myself Monday morning to see the damage. 8lbs up in one week, sheesh. This morning I weighed and I've already gone back down 5 though, hopefully the rest falls off as well and I can get back to seeing new numbers again. Had a nice walk during the day after taking my son to school. It's still a little hot during the day but not as bad as it was. Looking forward to having some cooler weather soon.

I know it's going slow but at least I'm still losing. Celebrated my niece's 21st over the weekend so I'm sure those mixed drinks didn't help. Getting back on track this week.1 -

I need some of your motivation! Great control in handling that cake. The weight will come off fairly fast. A lot of it was probably water weight. It was cool here for awhile but we are back to the humidity for a few days.TracyKlaft1 wrote: »TracyKlaft1

Yesterday was a disaster food wise. I have so much trouble staying away from the bread at night. I had bad anxiety yesterday evening and I took an Ativan. I think it lowered my willpower. I am starting fresh again today. Try, try, try!
For my walk today, I walked to the used bookstore and back. It is one of my favourite places to go. I am an avid reader so it is heaven for me. She also lets you bring back books for credit. I accumulated so many when they were closed durning lockdown I ended up with a $90 credit. I buy way too many books.
Hope everyone’s day is awesome!

Sorry guys, life has been kicking my butt.
9/20: 7,730
9/21: 3,157 (desk job)
9/22: 6,146
9/23: 6,731
I have been feeling kinda off. Super emotional for no apparent reason but still pushing right along. Work has been kicking my butt and getting lots of exercise in there. So much so, that I come home and crash. Today I weighed in with my trainer and had some pretty amazing results (posted below) so I am going to try to get refocused and tomorrow after work I will try to go to the gym.
My reward for losing 75 pounds will be a full arm sleeve so I have to work on toning my arms up. My legs are tightening up nicely and I am super excited to see all the results slowly pouring in.

Steps 9/22- 6,717
I did not hit goal of 7K steps yesterday but I will have over 8K today and I have closed all of the rings on my watch for 17 days now. Before this month, my longest streak was 3 days. Today has not been a great day. I got hit with a migraine while in the middle of Costco today which disrupted my vision for a good half hour today. It’s been a long time since I had one of those and I still have a residual headache but it’s better than it was. I only have 880 calories in so far and I just don’t have the appetite to force it.1
