    Ladies -
    If you want me to keep track of a weekly weigh in just provide me with your start weight (Sunday 9/21) and goal weight for December 21st. I'll keep a spread sheet. I was also thinking about posting our mood when we check in. I find it has a lot to do with what/when I eat. Just some ideas to mix it up. How about something if we meet our goal? How about finding something new to try? a healthy food, a new workout. Any suggestions?

    Kristen
    That sounds great! I'm in for all of the above! I'm always trying to find something good that's low calorie and low fat! I have to buy it to try it and if I don't like I've wasted money and calories so maybe if somebody finds something really good they could let us know about it. For example......I love Kind bars for a quick lunch or breakfast but are pricey so thought I'd try some other kinds. The ones I've tried a couple different ones but NO comparison! I'd much rather spend a little more and eat a Kind bar. Especially if I'm going to eat the calories. Face it, with as few calories you eat to lose weight, you don't want to waste on things you don't LOVE! Thanks, Kristin, for putting this all together! I've found a great sounding board when sometimes you just have to express what you are thinking!

    Hm.....i copied what Kristen wrote but didn't show up that way! Oh well......

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? nope (Hubby called me terribly stressed. So, I met him at Starbucks and then we ate out instead of sticking to my meal plan...I was good, but it was not the same & then since I blew it... really blew it at home with chocolate after that. Crazy & shtupid, I know...)
    Did I reach personal goal? no
    What did I do that I am proud of? exercised. Was not so rigid with sticking to my food plan, as I really had wanted to do at first, that I couldn't go be with my Hubby when he needed me.
    What would I have done differently? stuck to my food plan, some how... Especially not gone crazy later & eaten the chocolate & peanuts.
    What are today's personal goals? stick to the food plan

    Last weekend I injured my neck and shoulders lifting while cleaning our carport but didn't realize it and went to Aquafit on Tuesday anyway. Much better now and went to aquaft this morning but didn't use the water weights today. I never do well with weight challenges and am just trying to post here daily. Right now I am trying to find the right calorie goal given my busy work schedule and trying to work in more exercise. My work schedule has been in flux and is just settling down for the fall. Hopefully I will get all adjusted and show some progress.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? yes
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? We met at Greenlake and took a walk before dinner.
    What would I have done differently? not had an afternoon snack
    What is today's personal goals? keep calories down, eat clean andI already got some exercise

    Sun - no exercise but good activity cleaning our carport

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes, except sodium
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goals? Yes
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Ate a bar before leaving home so wouldn't eat Danishes at meeting. Prepared plates for lunch but didn't eat everything and no dessert. THEN, went out for dinner. Had to have a breaded tenderloin (can't go where we did and not get one!). Had a salad with it instead of potatoes and only ate 1/2 the sandwich. This all sucks but it worth it! :sad:
    What would I have done differently? More treadmill but it was late! I don't do good treadmill late!

    Dahliabanker -- I so agree with this...You did great!!!

    My update:
    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? yes, was hard when my husband wanted to go to Starbucks. The drive thru lane was so crowded. Decided to let him go in and get it to go. I told him that I was afraid that I would blow it if I went in ... due to loving their sweets and not being a big coffee drinker... only liking high calorie things. So, he understood and agreed to going in & getting his to go. :heart:
    Did I reach personal goal? yes
    What did I do that I am proud of? stuck with my food plan
    What would I have done differently? exercised
    What are today's personal goals? stick to the food plan

    Ladies -

    I started the new check in - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1448845-daily-check-in-fall-2014

    Linda - I agree. Lets keep it simple. I added a few questions - mood? have you tried something different lately? I'm going to add my weight to the Sun-Sat exercise list. We can all keep track of our progress. Next Sunday when I lose 2 lbs :-) I'll list (206/-2).

    I hope you all have a happy and healthy fall!!!
