    CW :185.4
    SW: 187.2
    LTD: 1.8

    Tracked Yes
    Under calories Yes
    Steps 16,620
    Exercise: lower body strength workout & hike

    Yesterday was a good day. I somehow stayed within my calories and got a lot of steps hiking a new spot with friends once the kids schoolwork was done. Tried a new recipe for a white bean chicken enchilada. Eating leftovers tonight since I ended up having to run to store during the middle of cooking for a missing ingredient which was so annoying. So happy to squeak out a small loss!

    Weigh in Day: Tuesday
    PW:170.6
    CW:170.8... plus .2 for the week. Disappointing, but not surprising as this has been the case for 4 months now. I really would like to to break into the 160's.
    SW 197.0
    LTD(loss to date) 26.4

    I am really confused and believe me it doesn’t take much. 😂 I have your weigh in yesterday as PW 171.2 and CW 170.6. Do you want me to change it to 170.8? According to the spreadsheet you have lost 4.2 pounds this month. That is a pound a week. That is right where you want to be. The recommended weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds a week. Studies show that losing weight at this rate are more likely to be successful keeping the weight off. As you get closer to goal your weight loss will slow down. What do you have selected as your weekly weight loss goal?

    Tuesday’s check in
    Calories: under
    Exercise: 10 minute walk
    Water: ✅
    Steps: 3,621
    Sleep: Yes
    DBF: 1

    I planned some bread in my menu yesterday. So last night went a little better. I am not going to take any bread out of the freezer until I go to bed and then I will take out a few slices for my husband for his lunch. Yesterday was new recipe day. I made orange chicken. My husband thought it was ok but I just didn’t like the flavour combination. Scratch that one off the list. Next week I am going to try either the teriyaki meatballs or the autumn casserole.

    I went for a very short walk yesterday. Today I am trying to walk 3 or 4 short 5 minute walks. I also have my appointment with the dietitian regarding my binge eating. I am hoping this will really help me.

    Happy Hump Day!

    Goals this week
    1. No binge eating/late night snacking
    2. Sleep at least 7.5 hours
    3. Stay within maintenance calories

    There are many benefits from losing weight. What benefits have you found as a result of losing weight? For those starting, what benefits to you expect?

    For me the biggest benefits are my health and my ability to keep up with my grandkids. I am a type 2 diabetic and my a1c is now in the non diabetic range. It is so much fun to interact with the kids instead of being on the sidelines watching.

    For me, it's been the ability to exercise beyond my expectations, being able to shop for clothing easily (finally fitting in a medium or small blew my mind after being a size 2x/18-20 for so many years, and most of all the health benefits of lowering my BMI, glucose, blood pressure, resting heart rate and cholesterol.

    Thanks @lindamtuck2018 I needed this reminder to motivate me to keep going! :)

    HAVE A GREAT WEDNESDAY EVERYONE!

    Way more energy to keep up with my kids. No more heartburn at night from over eating. Fitting back in to cute clothes I wore forever ago. Feeling comfortable in my own skin and not worrying about so much if people are looking at me. Having more confidence and not being a wall flower-goes along with the people looking at me thing.

    Daily Post October 27
    Tracked Yes
    Under Calorie Yes
    Water 128oz
    Steps 8956
    Exercise 60min of walking

    My daughter and I went outside for a walk yesterday because she said she wanted to go with me. It was 30 degrees but the sun was shining so I bundled her up so nothing but the middle of her face was showing and off we went. We walked down to the trail and after one time around she was complaining about the cold wind in her face so we headed back home. It took about 35 mins. I just hopped on the treadmill after the kids went to bed and got the other 25mins in.

    @lindamtuck2018 my goal is 1 pound a week. The above amount is correct, the one you mentioned is the prior week's info. CW today is actually 171.6, which sucks. So yes, please change it to 170.8 which it was on my weigh in day. I have been bouncing from 170.2 to 174 for 4 months. I have yet to get below 170.

    Hope that makes sense. :)

    Bravo Megan on quitting smoking! It is such a challenge! I am currently 7 months smoke free! Woot! You cannot smell me before you see me!

    I like feeling like I can do whatever I want to instead of being wheezy or tired. I actually enjoy getting out and walking or jogging which used to be a drudgery.
