    @seltzer_lover I saw your post on the July thread, assuming you thought it was here.

    Oh my goodness. I did think I was in this thread. Clearly wasn't paying an ounce of attention this morning. :#

    Thanks for you feedback on the calories. I think I used to eat them, back in the day when I lost all this weight the first time, but I couldn't remember. I'll try eating those back for a week or two and see how it goes.

    Everything sounds simple until YOU are the one having to do it and then it's not so simple.
    Ain't that the truth! This is something I plan to put in my daily quotes.

    I wasn’t as tight with my calories as I should have been this week. And I started a squat challenge on the 1st. I did a squat challenge back in April with an MFP friend and it really helped me get moving. My walking challenge at work is over. I still feel like I should set myself a daily step goal? Does anyone else have one?

    I also bought a new ice cream maker to make “healthier” ice creams and sorbets. All of the healthier ice creams I’ve been buying have sugar alcohol in them and it bothers my stomach. Since I didn’t know how to use it I started with one of the included recipes for butter pecan ice cream. Boy was it good! But not healthy! So I’ve been eating that all week too. ☺️

    Age 65
    Height 5.4
    SW (6/1/21) 212
    GW (hopefully by Jan 1) 150, then maybe 135
    Current weight 186.4
    loss since started 26.4

    Starting weight in August 1st 189.8
    CW 186.4
    Loss since August 1 3.4
    Short term goal, to be 179 by the end of August, so another 6-7 pounds this month if possible

    Current strategies, 2, sometimes 3, dog walks per day, sometimes 3-4 repetitions of "go you chicken fat go" for aerobics, trying to keep carbs low - not keto, but 50-100 most days. And sodium low. So far, not too much trouble sticking to the diet, exercise and food logging, though if I eat too many carbs or too early, it triggers me to want to eat more. I don't buy junk food, for the most part, though I have been eating sugar free jello the past couple of weeks, and bought some sugar free fudgsicles. Not sure if that isn't a mistake or not.
