I was on a work trip this past weekend and then in all-day client meetings for the first few days after getting home, and I was not careful with all the free food. It shows in this check-in!

See what happens when I stop logging food. Anyway, summer vacation is here and I plan to get better about my diet and tracking food intake.0 -

Too much celebrating summer vacation and retirement. I need to remember to make better food choices.0 -
I've been working hard on my food intake and have actually been logging with Lose It! instead of MFP lately since I tried that a while back and like how quick it is. I still like the community on MFP and the weight tracking/image tools in the app.

At least I’m going in the right direction this week.
I had my annual physical today and the doctor said I should aim for losing about 20 pounds. I guess that makes my goal 195#. I think I would still like to get below 190.1 -
Good job, dbw! You're much closer to your final goal than I am! I want to get to 190 eventually, but for the moment I want to get back under 250.

Small loss, but I will take it. Thanks for posting the chart again Horstbc.0 -
Way to keep progressing! I've still been doing well on activity but am struggling to control my eating.

Well, it looks like I went AWOL and so has everyone else. I have slipped too much holiday food and then two cross-country road trips where I sat in the car and ate M&M rich trail mix. I take Costco trail mix and add dark chocolate M&M's. It's really good, but very caloric.
My CWW is 220.2, back where I started from.
My goal is still 190.
I'm actually down from last week when I weighed in at 223.1.
I will start checking back here to see if anyone else shows up.0 -
Trying to be good about logging food and exercise.0

Checking in at 220.0
Have been stuck here for a couple months. At least I no longer seem to be gaining weight.0 -
219.1 this morning, down from 223.5 a week ago. The last 10 days have bee good.0

Down to 214.7 today.
LWW = 219.1
CWW = 214.7
Loss = 4.4
This week has been a good week in terms of discipline and eating healthy. Keep it up!!0 -
Back up at 219.3
I made a list of reasons I want to lose weight. I hope this will help with motivation to avoid snacking.
My reasons (not in any particular order):
1. Help with the sleep apnea I was diagnosed with a few months ago. I am working with a dentist on an oral appliance, but perhaps just losing weight would help.
2. Help with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver
3. Glucose 1AC is technically in the pre-diabetic range, although my primary care physician said it is only one point over, so not too much to worry about, but losing some weight would help.
4. Cholesterol - taking a low dose of Atorvastatin - might be able to get off this at a lower weight.
5. I would be happier with how I look.
6. I have pants that are too tight that I would like to be able to wear. They mostly fit before I gained weight this last year.
7. I might be able to run faster. I ran a half-marathon on Sunday and would like to run faster.
I am sharing this info so it's out there. I suppose the likelihood of anyone seeing this is slim as no one else seems to be logging in to this thread.
If someone does read this, just know I am looking for some support in my motivation to keep at this journey.0 -
Today's weight was 219.50

Today was 219.3
I made a list of 10 daily check steps to rate each day. The original idea that was suggested to me was a list of 5 items. It's hard to cut down.
Here they are:
1. Daily Weigh-in
2. Met exercise goal
3. Logged food
4. Stayed within daily calorie guidelines
5. No more than one serving of chocolate candy (my own downfall)
6. Healthy breakfast
7. Healthy lunch with fruit (no chips)
8. One serving (no seconds) at dinner
9. One glass of wine (max) at dinner
10. Snacks & dessert are fruit.
Now I need to commit to keeping track of these, plus figure out how to reward myself for a good week/month. I figure two weeks will give me a baseline of how I'm doing, and then I will look for improvement.0 -
Today was 220.1 so still not making progress.0

219.1 today0

Hey DBW, stick with it! The reasons you listed are good motivators!
I got down to 235 last year around August then had a few bad ankle sprains that I let push me into a spiral instead of working through it and sticking with my progress. Jumped back up to 249 and now at 246 and going again.0 -
FYI I'll try to check on here monthly this year instead of weekly. Going to try to keep my trendline going down long-term but I haven't been chatting online much in recent years.0
-
Still hovering at 247 since last month. I've been consistent on exercise but need to dial in the eating. In general, even without the weight showing it, I feel better than last month, which is encouraging.0

DBW - per your earlier post, here are the daily habits I’m tracking right now:
1. Start the day with 12oz of water
2. Get 10,000 steps (focusing on this daily, trying to strength train 3x/week)
3. Log food
4. Read the Bible/pray
I’m trying to keep my list short and focused since I lose steam if I spread my attack.0
