Good morning!! This group is definitely one of my motivations- thank you so much alexrichaa for starting it!

I've stuck to it, and also determined to get to my goal my Christmas! Very happy by how this week has gone, and looking forward to week 2 and getting even further along in our countdown to Christmas.

I've already noticed differences (been doing this since Monday, so 5 days), but I imagine this is mostly do to with water loss rather than weight. Am going to only weigh myself on Monday 15 September, so some of the fluctuation will have settled down. Hate the ups and downs of looking at a scale, both literally and figuratively!

In any case my mini-goals for today are to not eat any chocolate and to rest/sleep. Also keep within my calorie count and drink my water as usual.

Thanks!

So far so good This group is great motivation

walk my dog 2x

do the treadmill or stationary bike today

eat healthy

I'm doing great so far today!
Last night I used the scale to measure how much I was eating. Some things I was low on, like what I thought was 4oz of chicken was actually only 3oz. But when I spooned pasta on my plate...oh boy...one serving was not what I thought it was, I had to cut it in half. But I had some baked zuchini and summer squash and chopped tomatoes with a bit of feta. And I weighed everything so the calories were accurate. The main problem I had was finding entries that were listed by weight...so I had to look up the calories and pick the best ones, but I'll fix it today to make it more accurate, maybe make my own entries.

Plus, I actually got up at 4am and did a 20 minute workout! wasn't as bad as I thought it was I'm working late tonight so won't be able to work out in the evening like usual, so that was a great way to start the day.

The only downside so far...is I'm already hungry from eating breakfast so early....I may have to get a snack before lunch, but at least I'll have the calories to play with now.

Dinner is also going to be a challenge. I'm likely to pick up some fast food for myself, so I'm going to have to research my options so I don't go over calorie wise.

Other than that, keep on keeping on...

Good morning!!! So far doing great and I did great on my goals yesterday. Today I already worked out and am working at staying positive and within my calorie limit.


Have a great Friday everyone!

This is Day one for me; my goals are to (1) abide by my calorie limit; (2) no processed sugar!

Already got my workout in today - Pure Barre. I started a 30 day fitness challenge, move with purpose everyday this month. Calling it SeptemBEAR since I'm a panda, get it?!? :laugh: Yeah, no one thinks I am cool but myself...but that's okay :drinker:

Great job everyone so far!!!! We Rock

I stuck to it and i'm feeling pretty confident coming into the weekend. I already have a workout and long walk planned with a friend.

My mini goal for the day is to stick to my FASTING day. I fast one day per week (no food for 24 hours). I am already at 15 hours and feeling great so far.

Have a great Healthy day everyone!

I did really great yesterday and had an earlier than normal dinner, then snacked late in the evening. Ugh! On ice cream, which of course, is a no-no since my goal yesterday was no added sugar.

I still had a calorie deficit, but that's doesn't mean it's ok. I am determined to succeed today.

Today's mini goals:
- Drink a minimum of 64 oz of fluids
- Stick to today's meal plans
