“The only successful way to reach and maintain a healthy weight is to find what works for you. “
This quote is true. But the hard part for me has always been that I change. Like I find something that works- I lose the weight- but - -then I change and the weight comes back on.
Maybe this time will be different. Only time will tell. I ate over my calories today but tomorrow I won’t.
My weight is currently fluctuating between 156 in the morning and 158 lbs in the afternoon. If I get it down to 146 to 148 lbs I will be happy maintaining that. That was my problem last time - I lost weight but I didn’t know what minimum weight I’d be happy at. I think it’s important to know what weight you are most happy/comfortable living in your body with.4 -

Good morning Team Weight No More. I had a nice loss this week. I am glad for weight loss when I have a turbulent week. I was expecting a maintain so this was a welcome surprise. I am committing to the group, that this weekend I will stay within the calorie goal I have set for myself. If I am going to lose weight and keep it off, I need to learn how to eat in moderation on the weekends. I am starting by looking at what I say to myself that gives me permission to eat more than my body needs. Things like, I can have just one, I don't care, It doesn't matter, I just won't eat tomorrow. None of these scenarios have ever given me the end result I am looking for. Words are powerful. Be careful what you say to yourself.

Oh I just thought of another thought that gives me permission to overeat. It's, I've already screwed it up I might as well just continue. And we all know that's not true. What I'm going to say is I can stop now and feel good about my decision tomorrow6

@cyndiesstuff I've started to come round to the idea of being in calorie deficit being the key and to enjoy whatever I feel like eating. If it's an unhealthier option, I'll have it in moderation just to satisfy my taste buds. Gradually, I feel the desire to have unnecessary treats or larger portions less and less.
I'm entering all that I eat and drink into my MFP diary and, through Google Fit, it registers how much I have burned off, calculating the calorie deficit or overs. To begin with, I've been aiming for 3,500+ deficit over 7 days. That's 500 per day but, as some days are indulgent, I accept the overs as long as the unders make up for it. I'm currently at a deficit of 4,152 for Sun-Thu.
For me, feeling guilt or being upset with myself for eating a tasty treat is too restrictive and just means more anxiety. And, to go down the rabbit hole of, 'well I've already messed up my eating for today, means I can scoff more because I've lost the battle', lays a tougher path to take.
A combination of better food choices with increased exercise will hopefully lead to weight loss, fitness and a healthier, long-term, attitude to eating.
I'll be keeping track here, so let's see how I do 😊5 -

I stayed on plan last night. It was the first night of the weekend. I am proud of myself because I had a few urges to just eat something. I wasnt hungry. Just wanted to eat. But I didn't dwell on it. I didn't let my brain fantasize about it. I closed the thought loop that normally plays over and over in my head. It was hard but I know it will get easier with time. It is how I make new habits. my commitment to the group for today is to eat within my calorie goal. I can eat whatever I want as long as I am within my calorie goal. Its just one day. I can do one day.
What is one thing that you can do today to further yourself to your goal?4 -
@BodyTalking your right! I like the way you think.2

This week was better. Got two 4K runs and a 5.5K. I'm building up my distance slowly and carefully. I've also been working on a new group fitness schedule for the current term at the college where my husband works and I volunteer. I'll be offering 2 yoga classes and 2 zumba classes a week starting in February. Being a fitness instructor is one of the ways I stay active and accountable. It helps others and it's good for me too.
Exercising regularly has never really been a problem, but I need to get back on track with the food journal. I tend to struggle with nutrition. I generally eat healthily, but I also enjoy some not so healthy treats. In addition to logging food, I should really start using the habit tracker. My garmin is great for tracking fitness and I keep a strength log on excel, but I think it would really help me to have all of the health and wellness things I do in the same place.
It's mango season here in Rwanda so I've been drying mangoes in my dehydrator to give as gifts when I go back to the US in the spring. I live on an agriculture campus with a mango orchard so I can get them for about 30 cents/pound. I got 40 pounds last week, but they're not all ripe. This is ok since I can only dry small batches at a time. I've got bananas in the dehydrator now while I wait for more mangoes to ripen.
Keep up the good work everyone!
Peace,

@JessicaVRosati I just requested to be a friend on Garmin!
Woo! We're rocking it y'all! Keep up the good work!
I just checked Garmin connect but I didn't see your friend request. What's your user name on Garmin? I'll try sending you a request, too.1 -
@JessicaVRosati oh, my mouth is watering at the thought of living next to a mango orchard. It's my favourite fruit

@JessicaVRosati Dehydrated foods are delicious. And I love Mangos. Will you be adding pineapple to your mix as well? I dehydrate kale and spinach. Makes for a nice salty treat.3

Well I did it. Just like I said I would. With 1255 calories in. It was a busy day. I cleaned the house, did the laundry, and picked up my niece who is 15. We went to my Dad's, who is 90 because he just got a new dog. Her name is Jill. I have promised to take care of her in the end if my Dad is unable to. We lost mom in 2020 and he has been lonely and bored. He loves that dog already!! Today is grocery shopping and food prep for the week. Back to work tomorrow. One more on plan, on track day, and I will have met my goal for the weekend. I can do this. it is just one day. I can do one day!!6
