My hips are pretty sore from pulling the wagon all over the zoo the other day. I wanted to get in a walk but hurt, even tried to walk in place a couple times but it just hurt. I decided it was better to rest and not risk an injury. Did great food wise, tried a new recipe that turned out pretty good for keto Queso dip.2 -
Hello all not happy this week and feel like packing it all in. Nothing seems to work. My will power and motivation have ran away together.

My new Renpho scales today while I was at work. Gave em a try and now I'm not happy. Weight was recorded as 222.2 😪
Yes I know it was later in the day and wait to see tomorrow. But I just cant seem to get below 219 no matter what I do.
Sorry for the rambling ☹☹3 -

Current Weight: 232.8 pounds
This Week's Loss: 0.8 pounds
Loss to Date: 45.2 pounds
Not a significant loss this week but I definitely made up for it in inches over the last month. I am also super sore from my workout yesterday so I am sure there is some retention there so I'm not upset. Today is leg day so going to go make the other side sore as well!
My goals for this week are to stay on track diet-wise (to be honest, getting 100g of protein daily is starting to get old fast so I have to figure out how to make it enjoyable again) and to get at least 4 exercise sessions in (whether it be at the gym or walking in the neighborhood). I also have a lot of appointments, classes, and other stationary things that will limit my ability to get my steps in. My goal is to get at least 7,000 steps in every day.
Awesome loss! You lost almost a pound so I consider that significant. Great goals for the coming week.steps for 9/24: 8,106
steps for 9/25: 11,063
Today was AMAZING! Got up and did some fasting cardio before I met with my trainer and kicked some serious butt. Then met with the trainer for arm day and I honestly do not know how I am typing right now.
Came home and had some brown rice spicy California roll and then got to work on deep cleaning the kitchen...again! This time I scrubbed inside and out of the stove and rearranged all of our pots and pans. Of course, I swept and mopped and all that good stuff but I put a lot of elbow grease into the stove. Then I relaxed a bit before getting up and going for a walk/run with the pup. I definitely got a second sweat session and met my step goal of 10,000!
I re-start school on Monday but was given the opportunity to get a bit ahead so that it is what I will be doing tonight until I fall asleep. I will weigh in in the morning! Have a good night everyone!
I need you to come to my place and wear off some of that energy cleaning my apartment! 😂. You are an inspiration in the gym. When my shoulder heals and my leg is straightened out I am going to start at the gym. I might hire a trainer as it really seems to be working well for you. Keep up the awesome work!
Haha, the house we moved into a couple of years ago was definitely a fixer-upper and we did a few things to make it more liveable but because of work and being in school we weren't able to do much. Now that school (physically anyway, I restart school online Monday) is over, I have a bit more time so I have been putting in work to get it more..."homey". Thank you! My trainer has been a HUGE part of my success because he pushes me to the absolute limit. I find myself thinking constantly "man, I would have quit by now if it weren't for him pushing me." Then there are times (like my walk/run last night) where I can see my progress and start to think I couldn't do this last month" so I push myself harder even when he isn't there so I can continue with the progress. I am learning that pushing myself (within reason) is a good thing and it is nice to have someone who can push you but also tell you when you're doing too much. (I thought I was superwoman on the glute bridges last week and he had to lower my weights before I really hurt myself lol). The funny thing is my boyfriend works out 5x a week but does strictly calisthenics and does not believe in trainers. He is a self-taught fitness guy which is great, but not for me. I do much better when there is actual support there. I also believe that working with a trainer is great especially when you're starting to workout post-injury. (I started with him as soon as I could after my lap chole so my core was still pretty weak). They can tell you what to avoid to prevent re-injuring yourself and give you options on how to strengthen it. I appreciate your kindness! Thank you!!!
I am going to consider a trainer for sure. I don’t want to end up injured again!

I was hoping to have at least taken the gain off, but wasn't really expecting much else. I had a pleasant surprise on the scale this morning.
Your hard work is certainly paying off! Congrats on the loss!Marigorringo wrote: »Oh Lord! Since I said I will do the sugar challenge everyone started to offer me chocolate, cakes, cookies... and I said yes to all of them 🙀🙈

STEPS -- 3000 each day this past week
Still hanging in there!
Always glad to see you check in! Congrats on the loss! Are you still making your task lists?Steps: 10,205.
The funny part about this is I left my house at 7:03 pm at 2,400 steps. (I did a lot of paperwork for an upcoming class as part of my residency; like handwrote 7 full pages of research) so I was stationary for a HUGE part of the day. I got back home at 8:25 with 10, 050 steps! I really enjoyed the scenery tonight and really thoroughly enjoyed the walk. I also pushed myself to the longest distance run I have done (without stopping) so far.
Then, I came home and took my waist trainer off and the sweat literally POURED out. My middle little freaked out thinking Mommy peed on herself lol. I had to explain that it was sweat. She was like "Mommy, that is a LOT of sweat!" lol I am overall very impressed with today.
I am off again tomorrow so I am going to focus on meal prep and hopefully get another great walk/run in.
As far as my goals, I got 105grams of protein in. So check!
I got a workout in so 1/4.
I also exceeded my goal of 7,000 steps per day.
Congrats on your run! Great job meeting your goals!9/24 steps= 8,502
Did it again thus weekend ... I was over calories today but not by much. It’s my daughter’s bday on Tuesday and her BFF and BFF’s mom came for dinner. Good food again and this time instead of a margarita, I had a small brownie sundae and too much guacamole. I feel stuffed and gross. I need to learn to cut the portions down a bit to avoid this feeling.
Sounds like you had a great time! That overfull feeling is not nice. I find if I eat too much one day it affects my appetite the next.ScorpioGirl70 wrote: »Sept 26, 2020

Weigh in Day is Monday
Goal: 2000 steps -- 926 steps today
So weekends are so far off kilter for me on steps, visiting with family or catching up on paper work.
My steps are going to be lower today also. When the grandkids are over we are so busy playing games, etc I never get many steps.1 -
We walked today for hour and 40 minutes ... I put my fitbit on workout instead of walk so I am not sure about how far we walked ...my poor husky is dead on the kitchen floor ... I wiped her out ...GS still isn't able to go with us his ear is still bothering him and so is his hip....It feels so good for me to be able to walk without any foot pain

Don’t give up! Like I always say where would your weight be if you weren’t trying. I feel you on the motivation. It has been a rough month trying to get back on track for myself. One thing I did this week is to reflect on why I started this journey. It is helping me focus a little better.1 -

Saturday’s check in
Calories: over
Exercise: no walk but I did get my 5/5
Water: ✅
Steps: 5,852
DBF: 4
I didn’t binge yesterday but I sure over ate. It seems like all we did yesterday was graze on food. I am putting my foot down and when the grandkids come over they get 1 treat only. Hubby is getting that rule too! We haven’t really done any activity this weekend but play games.
I am upping the length of my walks to a minimum of 35 minutes. I am also going to do them earlier in the morning. I am going to try and add 5 minutes on each week for a few weeks. I am going to walk at least 5 times a week.
Hope you all had a great weekend!
Goals for week
1. Walk at least 35 minutes 5x/week
2. Stay within calorie goal
3. 7,000 steps 5x/week

Steps: 11,316
Went for another run tonight. I am really enjoying the time to decompress and get out of my own head for the duration.
I got some food prepped for the week; I kept it simple.
I got a huge, beautiful salad kit at Sam's. I also got some of my favorite sushi. I baked a banana french toast dish and will be making mini chicken alfredo pizzas. I will still have my chicken breasts and my protein shakes. I find myself in a groove now and food is seeming to be more enjoyable again.
Work comes early tomorrow so I will see you guys tomorrow night!

Congrats to all the losers this week! Especially @Megan_smartiepants1970 & @Piqueaboo for leading the way.
@lindamtuck2018 - grazing sure can sneak up on you. Great plan to reign it in!
@draby2011 your French toast looks amazing
@ScorpioGirl70 - minimize the damage by drinking lots of water to flush out the sodium.
@twitch82 , @carrolljessica4 , @shortyjmorgan1 ,

Morning all,
Here for Monday weigh in. I forgot to get new batteries this past week so shall hopefully get some this evening if I remember! For the past few days I've maintained on 250lb so thought by today might go down a little but stepped on this morning, first it was 251 but then I brb'd to do some stuff and tried again about 10 mins later and got to 250.4, so either way a gain even if it was 0.2, 0.6 or 1.2 pound sadly. Varying factors at play at the moment so hoping the fluctuations go back down in the next few days! It's just somewhat frustrating that numbers seem to go up on weigh in day so feel like a upsizer not a downsizer for the team.
I've still been walking here and there but hoping to get back into exercise more regularly as I've been going round in circles within these few pounds for like 2 months now and I want to be able to say I've lost a stone or more by Christmas (at 9 pounds loss at the moment).

More wonderful people signing up! You will soon have a gorgeous cat joining you, along with its person @Kitty2Katz - enjoy them both!2
