My February goals are to:- Have at least one week where I hit my step goal all 7 days. I also want to be so consistent that I'm able to raise the goal.
- Continue to plan meals and make a shopping list. I've started doing this recently. I used to have a vague idea of what I wanted to eat for the week, but I wouldn't plan and then end up spending more than I needed to.
- Gym 4 days a week.
- Be more social.

Happy with that loss. Nausea is worse today. Took an anti nausea which dulled it enough so that I can go to the pool. I have to get one more day of walking. I will see how I feel when I get back and maybe I can get that last walk in.
February goals: (still thinking about this)
Get into the 140’s and go on maintenance (for real this time😂)
Exercise 5times per week
Reach step goal 6/7 days
Have a super Friday!
You inspire me by get any activity in at all while nauseated. Nausea is the worst! I don’t feel like doing anything but laying in bed when I am so koodos for you!! 👏1 -

Motto: 🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!

Forgot to mention that it was 4 years yesterday I started my weight loss journey. I have been on them before but never lasted this long. Lots of ups and downs but glad I stuck with it. After my appointment with my family doctor I decided to move into maintenance. She understands the nausea is contributing to the losses and that I may lose more until it stops. So officially my maintenance range will be 147 to 153. So I have lost just over 111 pounds. I seem to learn something new everyday about how to deal with the ups and downs of weight loss. Now I need to learn about navigating maintenance.4

Nice loss! Great goals. I started planning my meals and it made a big difference. It is so easy to make a grocery list. I have been ordering my groceries lately and we seem to spend less money overall. It also keeps us from buying spur of the moment purchases.1 -

I have to push myself to go. All I want to do is sit in my chair and watch tv. But the worst part is not being able to drink coffee some days. I am not a pleasant person with out coffee.0 -

I had a good week so not sure what happened on the scale. Thinking it was my salty treat I had on Thursday night. Loss coming again next week.
Looking for some higher protein lunch ideas. I've had a cottage cheese veggie "salad" and greek yogurt with fruit. Any yummy suggestions? Not too worried about carbohydrates at this point. is this the right place to ask?1 -
The February Team Chat is open! Please continue to weigh in and post exercise stats here through the end of Saturday, and go to the new month for introductions, goal setting, and getting ready for a great Leap Month!

@lindamtuck2018 it’s hard to balance the feeling yukk with the feeling of being inactive. Sometimes you just have to listen to your body and sit.
Mum used to say she felt tireder just sitting.
My friend pushes herself to get up and move during the tv adverts.1 -
