I wll report at the end of the day....and will report SUCCESS! Are you with me?:flowerforyou: :heart:

    Linda: What I do is hit quote from my previous post, then just fill in the details. Your daily goals are just what you hoped to meet today. Your mini goals could be hopeful monthly weigh-ins. That is how I use it anyway. Adjust it all to help you. The focus is just to report in once or more a day for accountability. Hope you had an awesome day!:flowerforyou:

    Best,
    Sharon

    :flowerforyou: Good job Linda, on logging all of your food and checking in! It is tough on the weekend. I am just hopping in for a minute to say I am committed to success today. I will account for today this evening. Went out to eat at AppleBees after church and had a WW meal under 550 cals. YUM!:bigsmile:

    Welcome to all the new people :drinker:
    We can do this journey together. :bigsmile: I sail on the weekends with my husband so my weekends are
    mostly walking and sailing. I try to keep up my exercise as best I can during the summer.
    During the week I have no problem but on weekends you may see no exercise because I am not home
    and don't track my food. Good Luck!!

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? - Probably not
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I did manage over 10,000 steps on my pedometer.
    What would I have done differently? Probably not have the alcohol I did.
    What is today's personal goals? Water, exercise, watch calorie intake. Also trying a new shake
    to lose weight. Suggested by a friend and is heart smart.
