    I'm finally seeing some downward trends from my couple weeks of stall/gain. There have been many times I have not recorded my weight, since I really didn't want to see the graph go up, I know it's not being honest with myself.

    I went to fleet feet and got fitted yesterday, and I also bought a foam roller. Rolling is easier said than done, but I felt better. I took a 1 mile walk in my new shoes and they weren't as comfortable as they were walking around the store. I'm going to continue to break them in, and I have 60 days to return if needed. I successfully did 2 days of the couch to 5k program!

    @heather --congrats on your new shoes!! Since I became a runner, I have a difficult time walking into a shoe store without leaving with a new pair of runners. LOL!

    @allison --I think my bump is also due to sodium from eating out yesterday.

    @dallas --sometimes life interferes with our focus, but you had a nice loss nonetheless--congrats!

    AFM--I had a slight gain, probably due to eating out and my 2 days of eating more calories than usual. I think I may have also been stressed about work--which sucks because I'm on summer break. However, I'm teaching a class that I've never taught--Media and Film. Of course, I've taught a lot of the skills, but I was struggling to figure out a schedule and pacing because the curriculum I was given is vague. Also, I'm the only person teaching the course this fall, so I'm on my own for planning. I worked on it for 2 hours yesterday, but I was still sort of lost. Then, this morning I took my car in to get it detailed and spent the 2.5 hours figuring out my calendar/lessons for the first 3 weeks, and I feel a lot better now. :smile:

    Saturday: success: I’ve logged steadily over 30 days now and even when I go over my daily calories (way way over sometimes) I have that desire to do better the next day and keep getting back on the wagon. I used to feel like eff it and I’d sabotage myself for days/ weeks at a time- now I have this desire to continue!

    Another success is I’m coming back to doing my at-home yoga practice :)

    Hi guys!

    My Saturday Success is that I went for a run outside today and took the dog on 2 walks. I don't think anyone posted about a focus for this coming week, but I'm going out of town for a few days, so my focus is going to be to try to keep it in check and make up for any indulgences those few days by being extra disciplined the rest of the week.

    July 8- 251.8. I’ve been struggling with hunger. When it goes on for days, I don’t cope well. I can handle a few hours. I also have not been pre prepping my lunches and dinners, but I got the items I need from the grocery store and will get back on the wagon.
    July 13- 248.2. I don’t think I will make my July goal. I’m torn between feeling desperate to make sure I make it, and being zen about the fact that I have a lot of weight to lose and just being happy about losing at any pace. I see posts all the time from people who lost 100 pounds in a year and for some reason I am fixated on that as a goal…and I am not on pace to manage that. Why oh why am I getting so down on myself when I’m actually doing WELL to lose AT ALL?
    July 22 – 248.8. Too much salt, and humid weather (for here). I am logging everything and am under calories, using my scale as well.

    I had such a good week. I was on or under calories each day. I exercised four days, and then I blew it yesterday. I had hoped to break below the 320s, but had a crazy family dinner which really frustrated me. I then buried my feelings with a pint of Haagen Daz and didn't break the 320s. I'm sure I'll break it in the next few days, but I really wanted that win this weekend.

    I know I'm whiny, but I guess I need a little support or encouragement. I should be happy because I've tracked for 22 days, and lost 15.8 pounds. Okay, now to have a healthy dinner, finish my day under my calories, and break the 320s on Sunday of next week.

    Thanks for listening, and here's to a great week.

    jenniferallen33, that's the right attitude. Don't let one off day throw you off track. We all stumble.

    @jennifer-- life happens, and you are smart not to let that derail you. As long as the overall trend of your weight is moving down, it doesn't really matter what you weigh today or tomorrow. Keep going!! :smile:

    I got hangry yesterday and ate pizza. So much pizza.
    Since it seems we are all struggling to get back on track this week, how about this week's challenge be something like finding non-food related ways to treat/comfort ourselves?

    Is this your first time exercising? If you are on this thread you, like me, have substantial weight to lose, meaning body awareness is super important because we can be susceptible to injury. If you aren't familiar with exercising or your body's response to exercise, then either take it slow or find an experienced trainer to help you determine if your pain will equal gain or lead to injury.
    Keep moving, be safe 😊
