So I’m almost back on track with near perfect logging and eating at loss. Just not updating here daily cause my brain been busy… with online shopping 😂.
Hopefully can shed some lbs next month.1 -
I know we are almost at the end of June. Is it too late to join in?0

@HappyDonkey75 YES, I’ve tried intermittent fasting! I like it. I stop eating at 7pm and eat the next day at 12.
Morning weigh in 184. I work at a busy restaurant and did 15,000 steps during my shift (5 hrs). Temptations are hard there, there are baskets of fries and tater tots everywhere, but I did not pick at them! I also did well getting a mock tail at the end of my shift. It’s so hard not to get a drink at the bar when I’m done!
I did well with food yesterday.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Today is a new day!

@HappyDonkey75 YES, I’ve tried intermittent fasting! I like it. I stop eating at 7pm and eat the next day at 12.
I am not sure I could make it to noon. I drink coffee (its a must have) and then get very hungry by 9:00 am. If I don't eat I do get the shakes. especially if I workout in the morning..
need to do more checking into it and see how I can ease into it. If coffee throws you out of the fast, its a no go for me. A girl has to have atleast one bad habit

No wine yesterday. Disappointed weight is the same. The scales are showing me that I can’t become complacent.
Think I’m going to drop my UGW to 53kg, I know it seems counter-intuitive as I think my body has reached a plateau weight where it’s going to go up and down for a while, but I’d rather aim for it be between 53-54 kg than 54-55kg. I’m still not able to get into my smart black trousers. Have a BBQ this evening, and there will definitely be wine so I will make good food choices and accept the scales decision tomorrow.

Only had home-made soup to eat during the day so saved calories for the BBQ and wine. Didn’t over-indulge in either. I’m just going to keep on keeping on and try to make good food choices.

Not starting out my Monday the way I wanted. Scale not kind and I have been fighting a cold/allergies all weekend and still feeling crummy.
I maintained good activity levels all weekend including a kayak for about 2 hrs and 12 mile bike ride yesterday , not to mention got over 10K steps both days just doing stuff around the property and Yet ......

That's almost 1.5 lbs . I know I shouldn't get so hung up on numbers but seriously feel very stuck.
I did have a glass of wine (half of a glass actually) last night and a homemade reuban sandwhich but I was still under my daily calories with a huge activity day. Is that enough to throw me off ?
I think I may need to do something different but not sure what right now.2 -

I'm tired of seeing the scale reflect the weekend - and my husband and I came to an agreement our weekends sabotage any results we're gaining during the week. So yesterday, we bought more proteins (shrimp and chicken, in addition to Boca Burgers), and more veggies -- and I say that when we eat enough salad for a family of 5. I have apples for snacks this week. Aiming for high protein and extremely limited sugar this week -- no animal crackers, no cereal - usually Cheerios. So we'll see how this goes in addition to walking. Knee is doing really well, and I hit the treadmill yesterday.
We made low cal instant pudding, and froze it in the freezer. It was in there too long, so we had to thaw it a bit, but it was kind of like a fudgsicle. I might just go back to sugar free Jello though. At least that's almost zero calories.

Disciplined myself to do weights at home. Felt good yesterday but this morning I am so tired!
Totally agree with you regarding the weekend sabotaging the scales @ManifestingToday - struggling to stay motivated at the moment which is why I put my goal weight down slightly as my scales are showing me just how few glasses of wine it takes to put on half a kilo.
Pleased to hear the knee is improving

I was disciplined yesterday, and I walked two miles (and several staircases with both knees - so excited). I can't say I didn't stand in front of the pantry like a pet asking for a treat though. I got through the evening with 2 cups of 40 cal hot chocolate -- it's not great tasting, but 80 calories there vs. animal crackers or whatever else I would have eaten likely made a difference.
@SofaKween Thank you. Just keep going -- You'll absolutely go back to old habits if you stop now. Moving forward, despite low motivation, is strength and refusing to give up. If this was easy, we'd all be at our goal weight. This is hard work, with lots of changes to make. We'll all get there.
@kellyswimmer Time for another heartfelt chat with that scale. Hang in there!
Have a good Tuesday, everyone!

🌟 Thinking on this today and figured I'd put it here:
My goal is to get healthy -- which doesn't have a due date attached.
Each day, if I make the choice to move a little more, and eat less than I would if I wasn't trying, then I am incrementally getting there. I think that is what trips me up a lot -- I want to see big results, consistently, and unless I cut out all sugar, eat only 800 calories, and work out 3 hours and sleep 9 hours each day (impossible with a job, etc), it's simply not going to happen like that.
If you are moving better than you were when you started, if you are lighter than you were when you started, if you can lift more weights or walk longer or faster than when you started, if your clothes are fitting better than when you started, then you are making progress. And that number on the scale is a fickle little B. That number wildly changes because your cycle is coming, you didn't have a poo, hidden salt in a meal, the moon phase, you slept only 4 hours, god forbid you ate something you "shouldn't" -- which there are no "shouldn'ts", just so we're clear. If we do this in a way where we hate it, and just keep putting negative energy toward it, yeah, it's going to be a long slog.
But if you give yourself grace, and understand that you didn't gain this weight in 4 weeks, so it's not coming off in 4 weeks, and recognize it IS happening, it's just happening slowly, or in ways that don't yet show up on the scale, it's going to be a smoother, less disappointing experience. I have to remember this too.
Do I still get mad/disappointed/sad when the number on the scale spikes? Of course. But we're all working on this for ourselves, and as a group we can help keep each other motivated to keep going, even when it feels like it's not working. It is working. The results just aren't showing up in a way that you see it yet. Keep going. ✨💛4 -
Thanks for the welcome
Goal weight this month : get to 106.6
I will weigh again tomorrow. Goal that I wrote down was 106.4 -
Love the post above mine:
You did not gain the weight in 4 weeks, so it will not come off in 4 weeks.
It is happening in ways that may not be showing on the scale
Even when it feels like it is not working, it IS working. Results are showing up (just not on the piece of plastic you step on)!

Hi @SherryRueter ! So happy to have you with us. Wishing you all the best with this journey! ✨
💛 Thank you for the kind words on the post. I know I needed to hear it, and thought others might find it helpful or inspiring too. 2 -
@ManifestingToday - great reminders in your post above. It certainly does take time and so easy to focus only on the number. Glad to have this group for a daily jolt of motivation and reminder that I am not the only one having struggles...
I thought I would share a little story that helped me refocus and redouble my efforts for the week. Maybe someone else will get something out of it..
This morning I had a moment on the scale that showed 4 lbs less than yesterday. 196.7??? WHATT?? I weighed myself twice.. same number..196.7??? My logical brain new this was very unlikely..but my emotional brain wanted this to be fact so badly.
I quickly realized my scale was on the rug and not on the hardwood which is where it usually is when I weigh. Put it back on the hardwood.. and the number is back to where I sort of expected..
I had NO IDEA this would change the number so drastically but there you have it..
This whole High/Low moment almost had me in tears (slightly emotional today, must be hormones) which led me to having a chat with the hubby (who is that annoying person that can pretty much eat whatever he wants and not gain anything. He looks fit and doesn't work too hard at it)..
but I digress...
I was whining about the fact that this whole food tracking and being hypervigilant of what I put in my mouth, and how much exercise I need to get , and... blah, blah, blah.......is going to be the rest of my life and it kinda sucks.. I was feeling a bit defeated about the whole thing because I know the alternative is to continue my current track of continuing to gain at a level that felt uncontrolled and staying in the Obese category .. and that is NOT ok....Realty check...
The ever supportive hubby reminded me that while maybe the scale isn't moving as fast as I want , that I now am starting to get some control of things.. (whereas it felt out of control before) He also said just the fact of being aware of choices and making better ones daily is a huge accomplishment . I am not in my thirties anymore and can't drop 20 lbs with just 6 weeks of working out harder ,that's just life... get over it...
Now, in my late 40's get to learn all new stuff about how my body functions..(and having recovered from 3 major surgeries in the last 8 months) , learning what works and what doesn't and then being able to have that baseline to instill better habits for the long term better health and sense of self esteem. ALL TRUE.. so continue I will..and define success in smaller ways.
Am I feeling better about myself overall since starting this in March? yes
Are my clothes fitting better?? a little? I guess I don't feel like as big of a sausage being stuffed in some of the shirts I had...so that's good..
Small accomplishments are the focus of the week and next few months.
This morning, I did my first 30 minute HIT workout since 4 years ago...my knee didn't complain but my lunges are UGLY! Its just a weakness that will improve over time as I get stronger
I am hoping to start trading out 1-2 cardio days for HIT days.

Such a good listen for Ultra Processed foods. What they do to you and how they drive your over eating.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=6SxK9MFmH4c1 -
Today has been great. I know its 3:30 but, its been great. Enjoying it.
At work the team went out to mexican. I ordered just the grilled veggies and the pile of lettuce from the Fajita . No rice. No Beans. No cheese. No tortilla. No, no no no no.
and it was delish. Loved it. even took 1/3rd of it home because it was filling.
then, at work I got my Vanilla shake with some ice and sipped on that protein all afternoon so far.
Today will be successful.
I'm enjoying not eating processed foods.
I'm enjoying not having meat.
I'm enjoying the veggies.
I'm enjoying the fruit.
I feel focused
I feel satiated
I feel happy
I've been off 95% of the addictive stuff for 4 days now - Oh my God.... that stuff is as addictive as cigarettes, alcohol, etc. Do you realize that too?
I hope to be able to continue this type of eating. And ask myself before I eat, "How will this mess with my body chemically and hormonally?" Because a LOT of those Ultra processed foods /(hell all of them) do mess with you.
I say HOPE because "IN THE MOMENT" the choice is SO hard.
@HappyDonkey75 Rooting for you!!!2 -
@SherryRueter awesome job sticking to it with all the bad choices staring at you. That took some will power!1

June 7 196 ugh. Zero clue there unless it’s from ovulating two days ago. I can tell I’m bloated. I need to push myself to be more active after work. So easy to make supper then sit and relax and not do much else for the day.
June 10 196. Sucks but I’m ok with it since we did eat out Friday and Saturday (anniversary) and had a couple drinks. Now to push water and workout this week.
June 14 196 idk even know how I climbed to this number and now it won’t go away. Ugh. Going out of town this weekend so will try and be conscious of my food (and mommy drink) choices.
June 21 195. Sick this week. All I’ve done is go to work and sleep. Body is all achy from coughing.
June 26 196 😒 still not back to being 100% so haven’t worked out at all. Just making it through work and making supper is about all I can do. I need to do better about writing all my food as the day goes on so I can adjust at supper.3 -

Heavy on meetings yesterday, I only managed a mile on the treadmill.
@SherryRueter I'm impressed -- If I was at a Mexican restaurant, well, bad choices would have been made.
You did great! Thank you for the video.
@HappyDonkey75 100% yes. I had to come to the realization that I can't handle it like when I was 20 or 30 -- Do 15 extra minutes on the bike/treadmill/eliptical (I've had SO many over the years) for a week and eat a little less and *tada* weight comes off. It's a much longer cycle now. It's frustrating, but reality. So a) coming to terms with that, and b) recognizing all the positives that come from getting healthy at our current age, not only the lower number, will make it less frustrating. You're doing great though, ugly lunges or not.
@jennigerding19 I'm sorry you're still in recovery mode. I hope you get back to full power soon, and things with work get easier.
@SofaKween Glad you're seeing that drop! Hope you get your walk in!
This week has a lot of extra meetings, so I'm feeling a little stressed, and have been getting to sleep later. But my husband and I have next week off, so there is sleep and some downtime in my future! Just have to get through the next few days and do some prep to be off next week. Have a great Wednesday! 🌞

@ManifestingToday You said chair exercises. I'm not sure WHO you follow on Youtube, but I have a few amazing people I've done when I had bunion surgery (Right and then left). If you need more ideas, LMK. hope your meetings and work went/go smoothly and at least Friday is ALMOST here!
Weight Check in...
(ps. I only need to lose like 4 # and I am at my goal weight.)
Took out my scale this morning, its in the closet on the top shelf.
Out of sight, out of mind, right?!?!?
Went pee.
Stepped on scale. recalibrated scale. Let it reset to blank. Took official weight.
(okay, the first weight showed I gained 2# and I was like ... Oh hell no....
but my scale does that. It forgets that it needs to zero itself out)
cue Jay Trobec and Jeopardy music. 🎵 Do da do da do da dooo. Do da do da doot doo do do do do .....🎵
Down 2# .. whaaat ?!?!? NAILED it! SOO happy (well, pleased)
I told myself prior to weighing in that
I have done a good job - (No "I hope I have done a good job" about it! ) the HOPE was that it ALSO shows up on the scale. I KNOW that it feels good inside of me.
Things I've learned from the last 4 days, (as I've been doing a veggie only week)
1) I feel less bloated when I'm eating whole foods only
2) I don't miss meat.
3) I feel more confident and comfortable in my skin
4) I feel better. I have sustained energy. I feel like I'm eating right.
5) Boy do Ultra processed foods show their addictive qualities!
I can SEE it, it's like my eyes are open for the first time.
How the processing makes you crave more.
How CRAVING MORE itself is the cue for addiction
The chemical warfare that we put our bodies thru.
Before reaching for the next "processed goodie" or even "slice of homemade pie" I hope I will think about how it will interact with my body and mindset.
6) Improvements in My Bicep injury - My bicep is feeling so much better and I am enjoying the shorter less intense workouts. I think my body likes them MORE than the hammering I was doing. AND the super intense workouts, perhaps DID make me crave more crap foods. This feels good.
What I'm contemplating: How do I go vegan/vegetarian, Do I want to? I kinda do.

It was a choice I was debating the day prior when they decided to go out to eat.
I thought, "I can see my plan thru, or I can go off the rails. Which one is more in line with my goal?"
It took a little research. But Google is awesome. I googled, "Eat Vegan at a mexican restaurant"
and BAM. A few ideas took me to being able to confidently say,
"I will have the fajita, without...... x, y, z, a, b, c, d"
(seriously, i removed everything from that poor dish).
and I walked out of there feeling SO good. Its a feeling you get right after you went thru the HARD stuff.
Euphoria in knowing, Hell, I CAN do THIS!
Next up... vacation in Iowa, where I am almost at the mercy of my Family & IN Laws.
I have to research HOW TO do that..... I normally try to go with the flow but, end up feeling so sick on day 2 that it ruins the rest of the vacation. I'm tired of that path. SO I will have to be a LOT more disciplined to say "no thankyou" and disciplined to bring my own food (dish to share or whatever).1 -
