Gonna bust my butt to get into the 400s next week.. fingers crossed! Much love yall
@NachDeezy Well done my friend....you had a good week! My fingers are crossed for you, too! Bring on the 400's....Nacho needs something else to slay!!2 -
Got into the cheesy carbs last night. Had a lot of calories left on the table and I didn't approach it correctly. I went overboard, way overboard! The scales are up a pound and a half this morning. Drinking my water as we speak and already went for a walk. A longer walk than I had planned, but all is good. My knee seems to be handling it (still "feeling" my knee) but the rest of my legs are barking at me because of the sedentary lifestyle the last three months. Building up endurance is the only way to stop the barking.2

Hello, I joined for August and made a very good start to my Weightloss. I may join again in future however can you take me off for the September challenge and I will contact you again when I want to rejoin. I am currently doing three peoples jobs and therefore not having the time to join in the conversations here, just doing the weighing in bit which doesn’t help me and feels a bit flat - totally my own fault.
I know I need to make this a bigger priority, but it’s just not feasible at the moment, hopefully next month things will have calmed down a bit and I’ll have some time for me and can join in again
Good luck everybody, and have a great weekend.5 -

This hot humid weather has helped me remember to drink more water. I've also been moving a bit more.
@Slimmersixties
I would like to join your mini-challenge. I want to gift myself a one way trip to the 200s for Christmas.
So, please put me down for 299. Hopefully, I will be further in, but this is realistic for now. 2 -

Fantastic loss! The 400’s is within your grasp.Got into the cheesy carbs last night. Had a lot of calories left on the table and I didn't approach it correctly. I went overboard, way overboard! The scales are up a pound and a half this morning. Drinking my water as we speak and already went for a walk. A longer walk than I had planned, but all is good. My knee seems to be handling it (still "feeling" my knee) but the rest of my legs are barking at me because of the sedentary lifestyle the last three months. Building up endurance is the only way to stop the barking.
I find personally, if I leave too many calories at the end of the day it leads to either overeating or a binge. The carb bloat is a terrible feeling. I might be up a pound or two but it feels like 20. Great job on the walking. Fingers crossed that your knee holds up.
Nice loss!Username: whitfcan

I am sorry to see you go. I will move you to support and you can let me know if October is good for you closer to the end of the month.

Great loss! You can do it. If my math is right, it works out to 1.33 pounds a week which is very doable.

Weigh-in Day: Friday (Sep 8, 2023)
PW: 241.4

Down … up ... down … up … down … down. Does anyone else feel like they're on a roller coaster or an elevator? At the end of the day, I'm (barely) back in the 230's again so I guess it's good to end on a positive note. I just had my annual physical yesterday and am awaiting the bloodwork results to see how I'm doing 'under the hood' so to speak but I've had good numbers on most of the measures (other than weight and BMI but I'm still working on that obviously).
We're leaving in a few hours for Columbus, OH but are picking up our other daughter in Indianapolis and we'll have our lone high-schooler in tow, so we'll have the whole family (plus our new son in law) with us for the weekend. Susan and I both know we won't have too many times where we'll have everyone together so we're looking forward to spending time with them. I'm bringing extra clothes to work out in the hotel to offset the complementary (but not always healthy) breakfasts.2 -

Helped my youngest son and his family move and was carrying a heavy bin that was their canned goods. I walk into the kitchen with it and DIL 's father says let me take that. I warn him that it's heavy but he insisted. I gave it to him and he immediately goes to the floor with it and asks how in the heck did I carry that... I lift heavy crap everyday. Made feel like a bada$$.4 -

That roller coaster is something I am very familiar with. Right now it’s more like going up in the elevator but not coming down. Enjoy your weekend.lindamtuck2018 wrote: »Please share some NSV’s(non scale victories)

The scales are very frustrating. So many factors affect them. Do you weigh and measure your food? It can be a real eye opener when you do. Reading labels is so important also. Make sure you have those serving sizes correct. Other things such as a high sodium meal to even a sunburn can cause an increase on the scale. I had a high sodium meal on Sunday and I was up almost 4 pounds the next day. 😳

Ok, I have gained two weeks in a row. There are several culprits with the biggest being my sleep. This has been going on for a few weeks. Poor sleep leads to nighttime eating for me. I have been over calories for quite a bit as a result. I am also going through a medication change which is not helping the sleep.3 -

Thank you so much for your response. I have been eyeballing my food. I will go back to measuring. I also thought it might be sleep-connected or heavier after intense physical activity. I am going to try graphing some of these things, especially the high-sodium meals. That could be the culprit. I appreciate your help.0 -
