The Green Challenge Percentage of people who lost weight this week. No matter how small the loss the weights are recorded in green. Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!!

Weigh In Day: Sunday

LTD: 24.4
Happy with a loss after Thanksgiving, even happier that my low this week was below the 25lb LTD mark. That was before turkey day and I'm not surprised that it crept up a little bit. I fully expect to be there by next weigh-in. This week wasn't the best with water, macros and fiber and I am attributing that to my lack of checking in.
Goals for this week:
Check in daily
Water (80oz)
Steps (9K)
Macros (P-105/ C-115/ F-40)
Fiber (28g)
Strength train (2x)

what hours will you do for IF? I am thinking of giving it a shot again too!
Today, I am doing a 22 hour fast, breaking at 3pm and stopping after early dinner at 5pm. The rest of the week I will rotate between 16 hours and 20 hours, with a goal of getting to 20 hours each day (including weekends). I am using the fasting app called Zero and I am part of an FB page intermittent fasting group, which really helps (assuming I stick with it of course).

I just started reading the book "The Beck Diet Solution" which is a cognitive behavior therapy based approach to weight loss. I'm still in the intro portion but it is talking about sabotaging thinking vs helpful thinking and how you choose which "muscles" (resistance muscle vs giving in muscle) to build with each choice we make. When we use sabotaging thinking (I've blown it already, I will restart tomorrow), we flex the giving in muscle. When we use helpful thinking (If I eat that, I will get temporary pleasure, but afterwards, I will feel worse), we exercise the resistance muscle. We choose which "muscles"/ behaviors to strengthen and build. With that said the below quote resonated with me today and thought I would share.

Time to get back to eating better and drinking a lot more water.
But the week behind you and take one of Tanya’s clean slates. I put ice tea drops in my water and it makes a big difference to my water consumption. Great steps!Username: Piqueaboo

Steps 14,817 tracked
Exercise Leg HIT
After feeling so gross yesterday I did everything I was supposed to do. Down 2 lbs of gross bloat today but still feel yucky. I watched carbs.
Steps were from legs HIT workout which is not my favorite and cleaning. I consider my dog walk my moment to myself. He turns 15 in December so I try very hard to enjoy him while he is still with me.
Only thing I failed on was water on the weekend challenge.
Glad that bloat is going away. I find personally that water helps with bloat. I still miss my Molly everyday. I adopted her as a senior and I only had her for 8 short months. She sure changed my life for the better. I would adopt again but the new place doesn’t allow dogs.1 -

Lockdown has to be hard for a second time. I suspect we will be in a more restrictive level soon. Where I live there are different colour coded levels. Some of the province is in lockdown and the rest are at different levels. I have been reminding myself that things will start looking better soon. I hope you feel better soon. I will move your weigh in day to Monday.3 -

Oh my goodness! So many wonderful posts to catch up on!!!!lindamtuck2018 wrote: »
Happy Birthday Laura!! I hope your day was amazing!!!lindamtuck2018 wrote: »Turning a negative into a positive
Some of us struggled in November. I know for myself part of the problem is I focused on the negatives and not the positives. I challenge you to take any negative that is affecting your weight loss and put a positive spin on it. You can either keep it to yourself or post it here on the team chat.
Oh boy this is a good one, I love it!
One of my negative thoughts is "I've done this before already, and gained all the weight plus interest, what makes me think it's going to be any different?" Like I am already setting myself up for failure. I keep telling myself- I am doing the best I can TODAY. That's it. One day, one meal at a time. And yes I've done it before which means I have tools to use. And I didn't have the amazing downsizers to trudge with me...... soooooooo.... this time is gonna be awesome!!!3 -

With the water thing- I find drinking a glass first thing in the morning not only helps with the water intake- but it kickstarts my body, and it's been really helpful!

I think starting fresh is a really really great idea! Sounds like you've had a rather stressful time, so being settled, and all that stuff. New start weight, new loss, new you!! heehee
Congrats on 2lb off, that's amazing!!!

Here are some free clean slates, for anyone who needs one!!
For those who don't know me....
I'm Tanya, I'm a 32 year old Brit who now lives in Toronto, Canada! I've been here nearly 6 years. I live with my wife, Gael, and our 3 kitties!
I work at Starbucks as a supervisor- a job that is NOT recommended if you want to lose weight, because of all the free and cheap treats! But I love my job!
I'm passionate about football (soccer). I'm a die-hard Liverpool FC fan. I'm also an ex-competitive swimmer so love watching that on the TV.
I'm also working towards starting an online degree course in Psychology! I am really looking forward to learning and aiming towards getting myself a career!!
This covid thing has been a blessing and a curse. I'm a bit late jumping on the "healthy lifestyle during the pandemic" thing. November was my first month here at f2f and it has been wonderful! It helps me stay on track and also made some new friends! Which is always a bonus! It really helped because I lost just shy of 15lb in my first month!
I really enjoyed challenging myself last month, getting into healthy habits, and I am going to add to it!
Daily Personal Challenges for December
* Track every day, under calories, no restricting
* Drink at least 2L water a day
* Count my "fresh air" intake- if ya know what I mean- (this is a habit I really need to cut down on and be mindful)
* In bed before midnight every day
* Awake and out of bed by 9am every day
If you are new here- welcome! We have a great team here and we are here for you every day- the good, the bad and the ugly!! Stick with us, share with with us and let us get to know you- you're not alone!!!
You did fantastic in November, not just with the weight loss, but your exercise as well. I love hearing about your goal to take an online course. Thanks for sharing your details, it is exciting to know more about you and your family.
Thanks so much hun!

Hi all. So the sleep clinic was weird but I made it through it. Today I was supposed to zoom with a few friends, but just went for a walk with one instead. I was a bit headachy and tired from not really sleeping well two nights in a row...
Things are going pretty well food wise. I have been thinking about eating junk food the last 2-3 days and binging, but I didn't do it...
