My biggest hurdle right now: Breakfast/Lunches at work .... I don't go home for lunch anymore since I moved in March. I get too lazy at night to pack my lunch so I wind up doing it in the morning before work. I grab waaay to much food and have no real idea of how much I'm eating for breakfast/lunch and only a slight idea of my dinner calories.

Thanks for starting the thread @weatherking2019 !
My goals this month:
1. Stay off the sugar. I've done well this last week, so I'll try to stay on this momentum.
2. Current weight: 74.0 - goal weight by the end of the month: 72.0.
3. Get my weekly steps back to at least 70K /week
The weight loss will have to come down to eating well, as I can hardly move. By now, my shoulder is hurting so bad, I have to wear a mitella when walking. As you can imagine, no diving, no exercise and even walking long stretches (+5K) hurts. I have an appointment with a new specialist on Oct 1st to have this situation checked out.
But I have to be conscious that weight loss really is 80% eating better and 20% exercise, so I really have to suck it up and go with it.

Meal prep is hard! I look for portion controlled/minimal cooking options when I am busy. Hard boiled eggs, cheese snack packs, can tuna and salad boxes are my go tos.
You'll figure it out when you get settled in and find a new routine.

Hello everyone!
CW 125
GW 115
Goals -
1. Stop eating at the end of the day when I've hit my goal! I have a tendency to suffer from low blood sugar, and it can really drop at around 9 pm, but if I hang in there, eventually it reverses itself. 😲
2. Walk 7000 steps/day (up from 5000).
That's it! Thank you all for being here to hold my feet to the fire! Haha

Goal 1: Complete a 21-day challenge I joined at my gym. I'm on day 3 and it's going well. I've always worked out, but was not disciplined about the diet. I would eat "healthy" but never tracked what I ate. My goal is to complete the challenge of work outs and also daily planning and tracking of what I eat.
Goal 2: Tone up all over, but particularly my mid-section and get rid of the roll about my waistband.
Goal 3: I don't really care about the number on the scale as I'm more concerned about building muscle. Instead, I want to see that % of body fat go down!!5 -

I’ve only been back on track with calories since Tuesday. We are leaving this morning for a 4 day trip to the beach. I’m a bit nervous that my self control is not developed enough for the trip. I hope being in a swimsuit every day will help me focus
Good news is that my husband just got back on track too, so we are determined to help each other. We’ll see. 2 -

I came in well under budget yesterday, even with a glass of wine. I was happy this morning when I put on a swimsuit that I was sure would be too tight and it wasn’t! I haven’t worn this one for a couple of years and was pleasantly surprised that it looked good (enough. It definitely looks better a few pounds lighter, but I’m happy to get to wear it again.)2 -
I started the month on a down note, feeling horrible and wondering if I had the dreaded you-know-what-19. My standard operating mode is 99% very healthy for my age and 1% in the Emergency Room, so I fret when something seems at all off. Unless that virus comes in a four day only version, I'm fine and almost back to normal. I'm back on track for my treadmill/rowing machine/mini-trampoline/kettlebell routine. My challenge is to lose the six pounds I've been battling for months and to cut waaaaay back on caffeine. (*) I'm lucky to get five hours sleep and that's in short increments. My husband has become accustomed to waking up and finding me gone and my cats have learned to tag along as I wander around among bedroom, sun room and guest room.
(*) I have an online order working for what seems to be the most popular coffee substitute: Pero Instant Natural Beverage. Any recommendations? I've already stock up on all my favorite herbal tea varieties.3 -
I meant to include this with my earlier comment but forgot.

I was under budget again yesterday. I’m feeling anxious to get back to a scale because I’m convinced it will show progress. When I put on my jeans this morning, it made me so happy that they just felt comfortable again instead of slightly tight like they had been for a while. Keeping that in mind will help me stay on track today.2 -

Monday 7th checkin: still 74.0
I did pretty good last week, I also amped my steps. But then came Saturday evening with a big dinner that undid all the work of the previous days. Better this week ! 2 -
Sept 8 check in - still at 133.2!
I enjoyed a lot of wine over the long weekend but I was good about watching the carbs. I'm glad I didn't gain any weight and I'm not feeling bloated from eating junk.
This weekend I was able to wear a pair of jeans I haven't worn in over a year. It felt great to pull them on. I only own 1 pair of jeans (in 5 different sizes) since I rarely wore jeans to work. Now that I'm working from home, I appreciate having jeans to wear as the weather gets cooler.5 -

I've been drinking teeccino because they come in tea bags and I can carry a packet in my purse.

9/09 113.4, ? I didn't check BF this morning
Well, since FMLA, I been sticking to OTF every morning. Took 2 days off over the weekend and back right into it. It's a good way to start the day!
I been careful hydrating too. 1 day I didn't drink enough water and I had the worst headache! I never get headaches so I didn't know why but then I realized I didn't drink enough water. Since then, it's water through out the day.
Thinking of lowering Carbs again. I started to eat more so fuel myself but it seems I am bloated. I feel blah. Just so hard to find the right amount. 200 is too much, 50 too little, under 100 is ideal.
Gotta keep loggin!!

Weatherking: We are seeing PROGRESS here. Congratulations.
I've been working the last few months on upper body strength. It paid off last week when my husband (you know, the one with the bad back) brought home four 50-pound bags of cement mix. He was only able to get one of them out of our sport-ute, so Old Lady Me got the other three unloaded and into the garage. One at a time, to be sure, but still .... I surprised myself but not as much as I surprised Hubs, since he didn't think I'd be able to pick up 50 pounds even once. Hah!!5 -

I did really well on our getaway to the beach. Stayed under calorie budget and got lots of steps in. I’m disappointed not to see a very big difference on the scale yet, but I can definitely feel the difference!5 -

Weighed in yesterday at 127.2 and today at 127.8.
1 & 2 Did 21 day fix real time week 3 with double all week.
3 did 6 walks
4 it was hard at first and easier near the end of the week. Drank water after my walk to curb the desire to eat something
5 Started tracking food again. I often take breaks from tracking food, then do it for a few weeks to remind myself how many calories I’m eating.
We’re camping this week (left this morning), so we’ll see how next week goes.5
