Good Morning Team! Happy Monday!
Looking forward to July. June wasn’t horrible but I know I can do so much better.

Hi all,
June started off great; back to my happy weight and, MUCH more importantly, i was eating lots of whole foods and protein and veggies...a vacation set me back big time in terms of MINDSET and I have been reaching for lots of chips! It makes a HUGE difference in my mood; I am not as energetic and happy when I am eating a lot of JUNK!
I just need to refocus. o Easy action item 1: get back to my big salad lunch prep. Having a huge salad ready to GO ensures I eat lots of veggies; i just add my protein and voila-LUNCH! Not a bunch of pita chips because I am starving!
Starts TODAY!
anyone want to get serious about daily check in's?
You pick the categories that work for YOU, and post here after you "complete" your day?2 -

I feel the difference in my mood and overall day when I eat better. It just so hard sticking to it. My best friend makes mason jars salads which I think I’m going to try next week. I’m tired of shakes so I’ve been taking small meals for lunch.
Looking forward to tomorrow.2 -
Thursday check in
Exercise good
Over on calories-pita chips while I made dinner. Argh! Total trigger for me. At least they're gone now...0 -

Friday, July week 1
Today is my weigh day, but I was unable to weigh. I was hospitalized, for a second time in three months, this past week. But I'm okay now, I just have a couple out-patient procedures to take care of in the coming weeks.
So I will weigh in tomorrow morning... but I'm afraid it won't be good.

Hi Frank, I'm so sorry to hear this.please keep us posted.we're here for you!2 -
Friday check in...
Exercise yes
Calories no...just overeating. Part of this is hormonal so I'm trying not to be too hard on myself.
Happy 4th to friends in the USA!1 -

Weigh in day - Mondays (but could I change to Saturdays for July?)
PW: don't recall, but mid 170s
CW: 182.4
I really fell apart last month. My daughter is home from college for the summer and I've used that as an excuse for stopping with the exercise and making poor food choices. Really need to refocus this month! I'm in for the daily check-ins, maybe that will keep me from wandering off mentally!1 -

Hi all! Daily check in for Sunday. Hope everyone is having a good weekend and staying cool.
What is your favorite thing to take to a BBQ? I have a street corn salad that I like to take or a watermelon, mint and feta salad. Both light and fresh for hot days!1 -

Hello
Thank you for allowing me to join into your July challenge! My name is Angel, (yes for real haha) and this is my first challenge on MFP so I'm happy to be here.
Starting Stats:
SW: 299.4
Weigh-in Days: Friday
I like to eat the unhealthy foods like chips and takeout lol but, after reaching my heaviest weight of 303lbs it's time for a change. Literally died inside because I said I would never get that heavy but, I have since respawned and I am now trying to fix it. I recently bought myself an air fryer and am now in the process of convincing myself everything I cook in there is chips even though we are all aware it is actually vegetables with no oil.
The past few days I have done some very honest logging and found that I am overeating every macro except for protein and sugar. So my plan is going to be lower fat, lower sodium and eat non refined carbs instead of, you guessed it, CHIPS! I do struggle with consistency/commitment so I am going to be participating in MUAC with you guys.
Here's to day 1!
Date: July 4th
Tracking: Yes
Under Calories: Yes
20mins exercise: Yes it was 30 actually, very impressed with myself0 -
