Congratulations to us all for still being in this group for the half way mark.
@ManifestingToday we know how crazy the scale can be the most important thing is to keep going
Me too think about the foods I don’t eat anymore but… what I’m doing is making my new plan not dull but low on calories and the other bad stuff in them.
If you make a list of 5 things why you want to be fat…. And write down the 5 reasons why you want to be thinner write it down…
As you know with me is #1 reason to weigh less is to have less weight on my knees… and it’s definitely working.
Keep on keeping on3 -
I'm committed to doing 10:14 intermitent fasting, to track my meals, and eating mindfully.
This week I want to recommit to logging my foods as I make the dishes, keeping track of my weight, and post here every day.
Ultimate goal: 73 kg

@canadamarie - So you mentioned you haven't' been consistent with the trampoline. Is it outside, or indoors? do you workout besides doing the trampoline?
@tmbg1 - Looks like you have a downward trend. Keep it up!
@dannytrees1 - Look at you..... 7# down so far this month. NIIIICE
You were talking about reasons to weigh less:
Maintaining a healthy body weight reduces the strain on your heart and other vital organs. My mom just had a severe heart attack on June 28th, nearly fatal. She is 60# overweight, was eating only processed foods. We have to (AMERICANS have to) get to the realization that ULTRA processed foods are not REAL foods. I whole heartedly agree that the higher your WHOLE FOOD intake the healthier you will be. AND, the higher your Ultra processed food intake, the higher your risk for diseases.
aurorabarajas1 are you enjoying your intermittent fasting? Does your family notice it much?
me, Sherry - just spent 2 weeks helping my mom recover from a severe heart attack. Something that GOD allowed, yes - but something that we know is linked to diet and lifestyle. I'm not saying that family history and genetics don't have a piece of your overall risk of getting one (heck, bob harper had one, right!?!?! ) BUT, I am saying that I believe ultra processed foods, their over consumption of them, put you at a higher risk. The #1 reason for reducing your body weight, should be to improve your health and the health of your internal organs. The BEST way to reduce your body weight should be to eat natural, whole foods. These have nutrients for your body - something that doritos do not have. My mom is going to need to go from a diet that was 80% ultra processed foods, into a diet that is 80% + of whole foods. At the age of 77yrs - how easy/hard do you think that transition will be? Yeah..... HARD.
As you all go thru this journey, remember, its MORE about the health and your internal organs, than it is about your scale weight and clothing size. Both of those will go down when you are eating healthy foods. It just naturally occurs.
While I was visiting and helping at the hospital the past 2 weeks, I decided that i was NOT going to reach for junk. I was going to honor my body and eat foods that nourished it - because honestly, I felt like crap emotionally, and was drained from the whole experience. The LAST thing I wanted to do was feel physically ILL from food. By honoring my body and making that commitment, which I am making every day right now, I am finally at my goal weight this morning. I am SO proud of ME. I hope that you are making choices that make YOU proud of YOU.
Peace out ✌️

@ManifestingToday - long work days and stress definitely cause things to be challenging. Clearly your putting in the effort. I feel your pain about thinking you have everything dialed in but not seeing the changes. I really think for me hormones affect everything.. more than I realized. Could be your dealing with same? I finally ordered a book I am excited to read up on. Its called Next level, by Stacy Simms, Phd. I am hoping it will shed some light for me.
Its been hot here, so I am getting up early, getting my horses ridden before 7 am before the heat ,then a full work day and then, as if that isn't enough.... teaching in the evening (riding instruction) in 90+ degree weather n the evenings. Thankfully I have a small above ground pool that I look forward to lounging in after all the mayhem of the day, usually about 9 pm.
As a result, I haven't put the effort into my workouts as much as I'd like. I am "just getting through" them
Update on the horse from the post earlier- He is doing better now that he has had several days of good nutrition, been wormed and on pain management medication. I am taking him for xrays in the morning. I have an interview/meet and greet next week with a sanctuary that is willing to take him on long term. I hope its a good fit because we already have 2 other horses injured that we have had lots of vet expenses on and one horse that has to go in and have bone chips removed from his leg. Fingers crossed.4 -

Had a good long walk, slightly longer than anticipated and took the bus back. Wore a blouse that was the catalyst for losing weight. In March I couldn't fasten the button round the hips, was tight across the shoulders and it gaped at the bust. Fits nicely now.

@jennigerding19 I hope the meds help and that you're feeling much better soon.
@SherryRueter I truly hope your mom is improving!
@SofaKween Don't you just love the non-scale victories?! Congrats!
@HappyDonkey75 Wishing the best for your horse and that the sanctuary can assist in taking him while he recovers. And thank you for the kind words - I'm sure a lot of this is hormones/menopause related. Please be careful in this heat - it's been terrible here.
@AuroraUwU0 You're making great progress, and you can make your short term goal!
@dannytrees1 Thank you! And that was great advice about writing out the "why's", etc. I appreciate your perspective.
@canadamarie - You're doing great; and I don't blame you in this heat. But you've got this!

pretty hard workout yesterday that included 30 minutes of treadmill with incline and weighted vest and then my leg strength training routine. Total sweat fest .. (plus I had already ridden one horse for the morning which is a bit of a workout when you ride dressage1 )
The repaired knee continues to give me some trouble and Keeps swelling up. Frustrating because I am trying to build strength which means squats and lunges are critical to be able to do effectively . My lunges are still rough on that leg because its still weaker.
I go in for another appt next week to see my surgeon and may consider a syncvisc injection. The area he repaired seems better but now my pain is more diffuse . I suspect the cartilage damage is probably causing the issues.

@ManifestingToday My mom is on the path to recovery I believe. Yesterday's doctor visit seemed to point that her heart is gaining strength and i am hopeful (and apprehensive) that she will get out of the hospital swing bed early next week.

Had a friend visiting and she noticed the size loss which is so great. That adds to the motivation. Also I’m working with a naturopathic doctor who is helping me calm inflammation and I’m generally feeling better.
@SherryRueter best wishes for your mom’s recovery. Regarding the trampoline, it’s indoors. Although it gets my heart rate up, it doesn’t hurt my joints so I enjoy it more. I do a lot of cycling too. I don’t input exercise calories, I keep calories at the same target every day. I need to do strength training but with a bad back it’s tough to find the right exercises.

@SherryRueter the intermitent fasting is going great, my family doesn't notice at all, they do have their breakfast a few hours before I do. Sometimes my husband will have a late meal but it's not too often.
I'm sending you lots of strength to look after your mom. I hope she gets well and accepts the changes she needs to make for her health.
@ManifestingToday thank you! I have a long way to go. But I want to keep finding those short term victories that will keep me motivated.

@AuroraUwU0 - I hope so also. She seems on board with it. I told her, you've already been eating this way for almost a month. All you have to do is keep it going.
Nice job on NOT doing take out. Home cooked is always more satiating.

Am achy after climbing yesterday so must have worked some muscles despite my lack of bravery. There were two large groups of school children at the climbing centre on an end of term visit, each split up into smaller groups of 5 or 6 to an instructor. Climbing for the first time, no fear, squeals of delight – so jealous!
