    @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!

    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 :blush:

    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.

    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 ......


    back up over 200 lbs?????? WHY!!!

    Heaviest Weight: 210 | END OF MONTH Goal Weight below 200 | Ultimate Goal Weight: 165

    June 2 202.6
    June 3 202.0

    Jun 20-DNW
    June 21- 199.7
    June 22- 199.5
    June24th- 200.8

    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.

    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. <3

    @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. βœ¨πŸ’›

    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 - :open_mouth::open_mouth:


    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)!
