    Reintroduction

    My name is Charissa.

    I started with this group in March. I live just north of Chicago. I love listening to audio books and playing Sim City Buildit (way too much). I continue to struggle with weight loss. I lost 20 lbs in 2022 and gained 10 of those back at the end of the year due to health issues. I'm working hard to find what will work for me and my body. I'm currently doing IF either 18:6 or 16:8 most days usually averaging about 17:7. During my eating window - I focus on low carb meals. To be consistent with weight loss, I really need to cut back on wine, as I'm doing most everything else the right way!

    BAUG
    By the end of this year - I'd really like to hit goal and then focus on the maintenance part.
    Goals for June:
    - Consistent Water intake - 64 ounce minimum, ultimate goal 100 ouncers
    - Limit alcohol calories - limit to weekends (Friday/Saturday)
    - Exercise Daily (5 of 6 days)

    Weekend Recap

    - Eating only at Hunger Level 3:
    - Water (Goal 64 oz) :
    - Increased intensity while walking on treadmill:

    - THOUGHTS: June on deck - new month - continued focus! Scale is back on a downward trend 💚

    "Weight loss doesn't begin in the gym with a dumb bell; it starts in your head with a decision." Toni Sorenson

    Please increase my step challenge goal to 8,500

    Hello everyone! My name is Candice. I am so excited to be apart of this amazing group! A little about me...I have been a yo-yo dieter for years. I have my biggest success at weight loss with WW. However, I grew tired of the monthly fees and forever changing methods associated with the program. This led me to MFP.

    My biggest downfall on my weight loss journey has been my lack of accountability. I am not very consistent with tracking foods (especially the bad ones...lol). But, I am very encouraged and excited to give this a true GO and stick with it. I'm looking forward to referring to this thread for motivation, tips, and positivity during this journey.

    Let's Do This!!! <3

    You got this!! I am so excited when others are in it for the long haul like I am! You found a great group here. It has been life changing!

    Welcome to all the new folks. I've been here a while. I am 53yo mom of 3 grown ups and grammy to 2 little girls. I usually love lifting but I injured myself coughing during an asthma attack and separated a couple of ribs in April. To say the least I have been walking. This past weekend I had a blast camping at my childhood lake. I even got to take one of my grands out in the kayak. I also tried to stretch out my side by swimming lots this weekend. Demon dog (my 10 yo aussie cattle dog/ border collie w/ agressive tendencies) has been more than loving the walks. To say the least he did not go with us. I also realized I always plan trips on the full moon....

    Penny @MyChoiceisaGoodLife

    Weigh-in day: Sunday 06.04.23

    Current weight 158.0
    Previous weight 157.6

    The new medication makes joints hurt and muscles weak. I'm working out more to try to counteract the weakness, and if anyone has experience with statins that can share words of wisdom I would love it!

    This week, in addition to more exercise, I'm cleaning up the between-meal eating. The combined efforts will hopefully begin to nudge the weight loss results again.

    All my respect to you for pushing through the pain and continuing to chase your goals.

    Years ago I had really good success with WW but like you I didn’t like the changes in the program. Good luck on your journey and I hope you find this team as helpful as I did.

    Steps: 4,133
    Log food: ✔️
    Exercise: 0/4

    I am patiently waiting for maintenance to come to either fix my fridge or replace it. If they get here early enough I will go to the pool otherwise I will do some indoor walking.

    You know you are on MFP when you read "I am patiently waiting for maintenance to come...." and you automatically think goal weight!!

    So true. Sometimes it feels like our brain is constantly in weight loss mode.

    Last month or so I have been seeing a lot of folks down on themselves for having a couple of days, or even a week, of low step counts.

    Just want to let you know I am effing proud of you for any number you are putting up there.. I fight to get over 1k steps a day- that is just where I am at right now in the fight. When yall have a bad day and are still in the thousands, I am hyped for you and can't wait to join you. Remember that ish happens, but any movement is good movement.

    My mentor and best friend used to always tell me- Go as far as you can... then take one more step.

    Those words got me through college.. and now I take them literally and just try to grab that extra step.

    Much love yall.. You are doing great.

    Love your friend’s quote. Thanks for the reminder.
