I admitted to my wife yesterday that the reason I wasn't losing weight was because I wasn't prioritizing exercise and she was very supportive and understanding (given how hard I work and how little sleep) which was motivating but she also challenged me to rethink my priorities so this morning I did my first walk around the neighborhood in weeks. It was great except for stepping on all the dead cicadas (yuck!).4 -

@Megan_smartiepants1970 I am going to reduce my step goal in June (due to my knee issues). Let's say 8K for now - we'll see how that goes. Many thanks.2

This last few pounds is so blooming hard! I'm really struggling with being at home and away from the rv! Far too much socialising with 6 parties/ days out in the last 10 days!
Next week looks better with just one birthday party!
I've started taking an early morning walk to avoid the Spanish sun. Just 3000 steps but that's an extra 21000 a week! Can't wait for the swimming pool to open!
The last few pounds are hard. Keep on making little changes like your walk to offered the challenges of not being in the tv.

HI everyone! I am so grateful to be joining y'all next month!
I have a lot of changes coming up in the next year- including a possible move from Canada to the USA for school. I really need to get my weight down to be able to do things that I want to do in life. My mobility has really gotten bad over the last few years and I weighed in and nearly got an error on my scale.... 401lb is the highest I have ever been and I can't believe it happened. I really feel powerless and I wanted to join a friendly, motivating group/challenge to try and keep me going.
I am just going to take it one meal at a time and not think about the bigger picture right now because it is so overwhelming.
Today I had 3 meals- one of which was pizza of all things, but I alloted them into my daily calories and still had some left to spare. I am trying to deal with night hunger and boredom. Tonight is hard. But I am going to have some water and head to bed. Tomorrow is a brand new day.
I am so excited to be here! I can't wait to get to know you all!
Welcome! What part of Canada do you live? I am in London Ontario.1 -

Keep me added and I will up it to 10,000. That will keep me motivated to move my *kitten* on the weekends.
Did you get my steps so far for the week I posted above?1 -

I had a wonderful time yesterday. My sister had a picnic/party at her house. I did make some wise choices - but it still wasn't pretty and was well over my goal. It didn't help that I didn't have any time to exercise. I did work in the garden in the AM which probably burned some calories - but surely not enough to make up for what I ate. But it is just a bump in the road and I'll get back at it. See you all in the new thread - happy for a new month! A great fresh start!
