Just a quick check in from me, I haven't done so well the last few days. Having some stress and tension that's giving me a headache, and overeating (I am a stress eater for sure). Steps have been low. Sleep has been interrupted. I need to get back on track!4

Going out of town for the weekend Friday through Sunday night, planning on pretending I’m thin for meals and just picking at my going out meals instead of eating most of it. Walking shouldn’t be a problem. I finally broke my barrier weight and I’m not about to give that up2

Some tips that helped me early on in my journey:- Wait until everyone else starts eating before you do (having "proper" table manners helped me a lot with this one)
- Drink plenty of water before a meal. We often mistake thirst as hunger.
- Split your plate into two sections: one you plan to eat now, and one you can pick at after you finish the first half but don't plan to eat all of (taking a break after the first section also helps your brain recognize how full your stomach may be)
- Put your napkin or another piece of trash on your plate after you believe you are "done"
- Enjoy yourself! One meal will not set back all of the progress you've made and there's no reason to be hard on yourself just for enjoying food

Oh good gravy thank you, I’m very planning oriented and that helps a lot. I so don’t want to ruin my progress. I’m taking diabetes meds and should be taking statins but I’m terrified of statins and trying to be healthy weight instead. Thank you!😊🌻

@SarahJoyManea - great job on your steps. What do you do to get so many? curious if it's your type of work ect.
@TwistedSassette - we are here for you. getting into a funk is never fun and at times hard to get out of
@9Harvey - nice loss with being away. I always love sleeping in my own bed

Not sure I did an intro this month. I am 69 years old and retired. I was always skinny until close to 40. I was working in an office and eating mixed nuts by the cup ful every day and drinking Coke all day. Got up to 179 before I decided something had to change. I switched to zero sugar Coke and lost 20 pounds in two years. My only steady exercise was walking with occasional "other" but no real plan.
Then in 2020 I was diagnosed with a rare type of liver cancer. I have tried chemo, immunotherapy, radiation and more chemo. Today the doctor said she thinks this is not working and we need to decide new options. It is very frustrating to go for these treatments every two or three weeks wondering what my body is doing and waiting 3 months between scans to find out. I thought last week's scan had good results, no metastasis and tumor looks better but the doctor was not so positive I think because the lymph nodes have not decreased to normal.
So during this "journey" I have slowly lost about 10 pounds and feel very good most of the time. I eat what I want, just less and do what I want, just get tired more easily. Everyone tells me I look great.
But I plan to beat this somehow and I am just stubborn enough to do it.
Keep up the good work and we will all reach our goals.4 -

Back and forth between this is water weight (high sodium yesterday...let's be real, all week ... and still sore from heavy weeding last weekend) and I need to get with the program ...
This week has been M&M's or cheetos for breakfast every day and quite a bit of takeout (pizza, Chinese, Taco Johns)...so maybe I did gain. Too much work, too much stress, not enough exercise of any kind or mindfull eating.
I keep thinking I'll get a hold of my schedule and things will calm down but I never seem to get there. I have a bunch of comp time to take, a ridiculous amount of vacation time, but too much work to do to actually feel comfortable taking it.
My sinuses are crazy, I'm constantly exhausted (this is why the takeout), and there is just ... Too much.
I'm gonna go kill some more weeds before I get my hair cut.5 -

Almost lost what I gained last weigh in. I worked really hard on my eating. No eating at night and the only sweet food I had all week was 2 yasso coffee pops. Saturdays are usually my off day but I'm going to give myself a calorie goal to stick to for the day.3 -

LSPT (Lost since personal trainer): 28
I can't find it again but I'm pretty sure I saw someone post LSD, lost to date. I really that! Since my heaviest weight a few years ago, I've lost 48 lbs. I like highlighting that because I feel good about my progress and myself and I don't just feel pressure to lose weight. So, I think what it does it help me celebrate my success and I want to keep going.
The other number I made up: LSPT, lost since personal trainer. I like to focus on how much weight I've lost since I bought a gym membership and tried a personal trainer. Having a personal trainer is a significant expense and going to the gym is a significant commitment of time for me. And it has been amazing for me; I feel more like myself, then I have in close to a decade!
This week I got back on track after being away, I got back to my previous weight and went down another pound. I focused on getting back into my routines and good habits and I really focused on eating protein. I added more protein bars and drinks and it really helped me get my appetite in check again.
Falling off the bandwagon happens in life, so it was really important for me to learn how to get back on track again. I think this will help me in the long run. So I'm excited about what I have accomplished this week.
For the remainder of the month, my goal is get to 30 lbs LSPT.

I don't think I'm going to start seeing some actual progress until I can start counting my calories and staying within them! I haven't counted them and kept up with it in a good while. Sometimes I eat a little less, and I'll have a loss here and there, but not staying consistent with it because I'm not using the diary and counting my calories on here! I really need to do that so I can get back to more good weigh ins and get this weight off! So aggravating!5 -

Only a weight gain of 0.7 lbs for our out of town trip, which for me is amazing. Maybe I’ll get even better with the next out of town trip in like 2 months. Easier to get back on track with my weight loss now, too2

Oh no! I'll mark you as excused for the week. Thanks for letting us know!
Thanks! I'm also traveling through the end of the month, so no regular weigh-ins for me. I'll be back in September.

I've been in a funk that last week. Not sure if it's lack of sleep or stress or over thinking life but feel like I'm in a cloud this past week and haven't been eating well at all because of it. I know it will turn around and I'll get back to it
Hope you have a great week friends6 -

That would mean losing 8 pounds EACH week for the next 7 weeks - EXTREMELY unhealthy (and unrealistic). You may seriously hurt yourself attempting that. You seem to have plateaued, which is quite normal. You've lost A LOT since April, and in a healthy way. Please don't let frustration ruin your health.2 -

Steps are going well - although food has slipped a little this week as I was away for a long weekend with my husband for his birthday and that man can eat whatever he likes and never gain a pound, so its quite a serious self control exercise being away with him!
Likely to see a gain this Friday, but I'll try my best for the next few days to minimize the damage!
@cleaneater80 - I actually have an office job and find it very difficult to get steps in the day, so I set myself an early alarm and get up at 6 to jog on the spot in my living room for usually about an hour or so. I also try to do the same at lunch in my office (thank goodness I have an office to myself!) or go for a walk at lunch. If I do two hours of on the spot jogging that hits the 20k steps mark. That's my secret 🤣
Keep at it everyone, great commitment and progress!
💓🧡💛💚💙💜
