Check-in for Saturday 9/12
Steps: 8179
Calories: under
Water: 90 oz
Closed Ring Streak: 6 days
Well, the scale is up a couple more points today but I forgot my blood pressure medicine yesterday which is a mild diuretic. I have already take it today and hope to see a better number tomorrow. I did have a NSV last night. I was in my closet and saw some fall/ winter clothes that I could not wear last year because they were too tight or way too tight. I was surprised that I was able to fit in to all of them. This gives me a lot of hope and opens up my closet for when the cool weather arrives which won’t be until November. Who knows, maybe those clothes will be too big by then.2 -

I got rid of a most of my smaller clothes when I moved in June. I only kept one size lower with the exception of a few items that I love. I figured if I lose enough for those to be too big than I deserved some new things. 😁1 -

Hi All,
Here for Monday weigh in. I haven't had a good week this week with food or exercise so I shouldn't be surprised that the scales have went up with having take away (takeout) on Saturday so have rocketed back up again. I know I need to try and refocus as I've noticed some habits creep back in with my eating and less exercise. I was seemingly doing well having the odd thing food wise here and there but I just need to be aware of cals in vs out more so it doesn't bite me longterm.
A few days ago I was between 250.4/250.6 but this morning I stepped on at 251.4. I kinda dropped scales the other day when stepping on.. it was amusing seeing them throw a reading of 244.something I was like ooo that would be good! but then went to 250.6.
I know this week I need to keep a closer watch on what I'm eating so I don't overeat, I don't count calories exactly but I look at package (if it is) and add up that way. I probably could count everything but I feel it would lead me to become more obsessive and I don't particularly want to get like that over every bite of food.
Hoping to be under 250 by the end of the month, fingers crossed I can do it. Hormones take a step back until next month for this please haha!

That is a great NSV! It is funny how many things can affect the scale.ScorpioGirl70 wrote: »Scorpiogirl70

Keep working on your goals! You have the rest of the week to meet the ones that are done several times a week.Hi All,

Takeout always causes a jump in the scale for me due to the sodium. Drink lots of water the next few days and it will help wash the sodium out of your body. Everyone has their own way to lose weight and your method is perfect. Those darn hormones!

Sunday’s check in
Calories: over slightly
Exercise: none
Water: ✅
Steps: 2,427
DBF: 6
My weight is up 2 pounds after yesterday. I am not surprised due to the salt meat. Even with all the soaking it was a bit salty. It is not something we will be having very often and in a few days I should see the water weight drop off.
I am going for a walk as soon as I get my physio exercises done. It is starting to cool off here and I am loving it.
Have a great start to the week!
Today’s goals
1. No binge eating
2. Minimum 20 minute walk
3. Bed by 10:30 pm1 -
Question of the day!
What tips do you have for getting all your water in daily? This will help other team members and who knows you may get a few ideas from others.1 -

I have a 24 ounce cup with a straw ...when I 1st wake up I fill it with ice and water ...through out the day I fill it often ... I like putting lemon or lime or orange slices in my water ...also if you drink coffee or tea you can also count that as water .... I drink 120 oz of water a day ... I have always been a water drinker ...I have one of those infusers where you put fruit in the middle of this carafe and you put water in the carafe and put it in the fridge . 1 -
Sorry, I went a little MIA yesterday on accident! I came and read posts but forgot to make my own cuz I got busy. We are having a family only bday party for my son tonight so I was making his cake yesterday. He wants a pokemon party so that's what we are doing. The weather was nice this weekend so I got outside for a good walk on Saturday. No formal exercise yesterday, but still tracked food and did well, was just busy.

Happy Monday!
I also couldn't get into the community for several days-so here's my update:
Thursday Weigh Day
CW: 254.6
PW: 255.0
Steps:
9/9 16,013
9/10 9,734
9/11 15,048
9/12 5,459
9/13 4,626
My gym is still closed and for the last three weeks we have had horrible air quality from fires in the area. I haven't been working out or eating like I should😞.
Goals for this week:
Get the garage cleaned out so I have space to work out at home! ...And then actually work out at home!
Track the food--all of it--not just the good days.
Meditate a minimum of 5 minutes each day.
Comit to some consistency. If I consistently lost 1-2 pounds a week, I'd be 15-30 pounds lighter by Christmas...hmmm.
Have a great day!1
