    Monday check-in

    This weekend has been so so for me. Went slightly over my calories saturday and binged on pizza sunday. It has been so hot in my appartment I didnt want to turn the stove on. Plus the last couple of weekends I have been staying in so I wouldnt walk as I want to rest my foot as much as possible. Well it is getting old already. I miss my long walks. I really really hope it is not broken because 6 weeks of immobilization (meaning basically being stuck at home) is going to drive me crazy. I feel restless already.

    I am just getting frustrated by not being able to exercise. I need to buy some weight so that I can at least work in my arms.

    Helene, water jugs or canned foods can be used as hand weights. :wink: Really, anything that can be picked up; a dictionary/phonebook, a baby, a cat. :lol:

    Monday check-in: I was off plan for a week while on vacation, but I'm back on track today. Forgot to weigh myself this morning, but that's ok. I'll give myself a day or two on plan and maybe it'll make a slight difference on the scales. ;)

    Happy Monday!

    Jam. Congrats on the loss

    I wish to start the weight challenge. I was 216.4 this morning. I'm on the 8 week blood sugar diet. It advocates fast weight loss

    Monday Check-in ... my computer was down all of last week due to the bedroom being turned into a guest room with office space instead of an office. My heavens! Everything takes quadruple time longer to do than I estimate it will take. It took me over 4 days just to sort through and pack up the office 'stuff' ... and in the meantime the rest of the house became dumping-off grounds for the boxes and odd pieces of furniture I had to take out of the room. Thankfully, today my computer is back up and running and the room is completed .... except for bringing in all that stuff that has to find it's way back into the office furniture.

    One really interesting, and very possitive, a lesson I learned .... I'm going to stay off the computer more even though it's back up and running. And that includes MFP, and FB. I kept track of the food I ate during the past week by writing the meals and snacks down in a notebook, but I won't be transferring them into MFP as it will take too long to do. And, this computer down has now broken my record for logging in to MFP ... oh well, records are meant to be broken, and new ones set.

    Hi all
    Just wondering if it is too late to join Challenge

    Tuesday goal: to hit my challenge goal weight this week.(saw I was within .4 lbs of it yeasterday, but all these sore muscles have me up 2 lb this morning) After that is to get down 4 lbs to 210. I am really having to beak my goals down smaller and smaller as my losses get smaller and smaller each week. But a Loss is a Loss and better than a gain. I have been at this for 140 days now and I am still averaging out at a 2 lb loss a week, not that it in anyway reads on my scale like that each week. My graph looks like a slip n slide laid on a rocky mountain side.

    You can join if you want but this challenge ends in less than 2 weeks so I dont know if you will find a lot of benefits for it.

    The hardest time of day to stay on track is at night. What time is it for you? And what do you do to keep from over eating at that time?

    July 1:

    Weight +/- this week:+2.6
    Weight +/- total:-7.2

    I am hoping that it is mostly salt but I am sure there is some genuine gain as well. I havent been doing good foodwise for 3-4 days in a row (pizza, chips you name it). Frustration, lack of sleep, and a little "down" mood are wrecking havoc on my resolve. I really want this to work. No way I lost ~50 lbs just to gain it back.

    Right now my biggest enemy are weekends. Because my foot has been really hurting I am not moving much -> I get bored -> I eat. I think this weekend I will just go out and travel the city in bus, stay away from home. I am stressed out too because if I have to be immobilized for a few weeks I am worried I am going to go crazy with cabin fever and eat everything in sight.

    I am gaining during this challenge. Is it better to continue or drop out? I am embarrassed by my gain so I think I will drop out. Sorry. Good Luck to everyone. I am sure many of you will reach your goals by the final WI.

    @MermaidPrincessRach The choice is up to you. But no matter what don't be embarrassed. Weight loss is hard and no one is judging you because I am pretty sure we have all been there at one point in our lives. Just hold on and try to remember why you started this and why you want it. You can do it, Rachel! <3

    I know I weighed myself last week while the computer was 'down' but I forgot to write it down. What I noticed, and remember, is that with the scale I have it not only depends on the surface the scale is on but also where on the scale I place me feet. So, that destressing weight gain I had in wk 5 and wk 7 might not have been weight gain at all. Still, I know I did lose weight over the past 2 weeks because I worked hard instead of sitting around and ate more lightly as filling up made it harder to be active than with a less filled belly.

    PS - weight lost so far: -46

    I don't really have any timeframe where I have a hard time staying on track as I've noticed it's the food I ate previusly that is the driver of hunger or snack-attack rather than the time of day. Sometimes, however, boredom seems to be a prompt to snack on something comforting ... even when I know I'm not hungry.

    Trinati. My hardest time is evening. I try to save something that I can eat popcorn or berries but don't always have extra calories. I remade a list of chores to do and I'm going to try and distract myself with chores and of course drink water

    Good luck

    Down 7.8 lbs from when I started earlier this month. Going to make today a good day

    @trinati it was so much easier to be strict with myself in the winter. .. earlier to bed, more stuff to do. But in the summer I sit around a shop for 12 (and later more) hours and all I want to do is eat from boredom. The only thing that helos me a little is to try to make my first meal as late as possible so there are less hours to tempt me. Also I'm playing around with which meals get me full longer and I have a baggie of cherry tomatoes :)

    Ten days to lose 2.3 pounds? At the rate I've been going, it might proof challenging but I am going to give it the old college try ~ as the say. I started going to the gym this week. Only for about 30 minutes, baby steps. (I have nerve damage in my left leg and two herniated discs in my lower back.) But now that I am down 30+ pounds, movement is a little easier. Having someone to go to the gym with makes all the difference to me also. Of course, that might end faster than it started. I soon may have to find another gym partner.

    I am definitely interested in another challenge after this one finishes next week. Any one else in??

    Until next time; wishing everyone Peace B) , Love <3 and Weight Loss :smiley: !!
