Goals this week?

Good luck to you Patty. You would think that exercise would always be a bonus. 2 years ago I was trying to lose weight and I had some surgery where I could not exercise. I lost just as much with just watching my diet. I am one of those crazies that really likes to exercise. I used to think that weight loss was 50% diet 50% exercise. I think that was true when I was younger, but now I think it is 80% diet and 20% exercise. I would much rather exercise than to diet. LOL.0

Well, peeps, it seems to be working! Lost about 3 1/2 lbs this week! I'm within 1/2 lb of where I was when I started exercising and going the wrong direction. After this long of only eating 1200 cals, I was struggling trying to eat 1500 on exercise days (let me qualify that with 'AND keeping my fat grams in place' -- if I could have just eaten a platter of fried stuff on those days, I would have had no problem at all
) just need to keep up the balance for another week and I think I'll have the cure. Thanks for all the nice thoughts! 0 -

Sounds like you have a new plan of action, this is great! What's been going on ?
With the calories and exercise?
Not only have I not been losing any weight for the last 3 weeks since I've been exercising, but actually put a couple lbs back on. Kinda of a bummer because I was doing so well with my exercise (6 days a week, was up to 45 mins a session now, blah blah blah). Soooo, counselor told me to back off on the time and frequency of my exercise (I cannot BELIEVE someone said those words to me in my lifetime!), up my calories on the days I exercise, and make sure I eat both before and after an exercise session (which I wasn't doing, because exercising after eating doesn't sound good at all to me). Trying to get out of this starvation mode she said I've gotten myself in so I can find the right balance. So basically, this week is an experiment --- I should be donning a lab coat

Sounds like a new plan, I bet you're going to do great! good luck! keep us posted.0

My goal is to repeat the goals of last week to make sure that I have the balance I need. Then I can modify the exercise accordingly if I want and will compensate accordingly if this works.0

Goal this week is to just get through this week.
I leave tomorrow starting my 2 month travels. I'm taking my foods, have a place to exercise. But, my tracker expired. I am having a time with these things either losing them (1) or break (1). Have sent back and ordered another, but won't be here for a while.
So, my goal .... do my best.
Hope EVERYONE has a wonderful 4th of July celebration and great up-and-coming week.

I use NexTrack on my phone to track my walking when I'm doing my dedicated walking then transfer the number to MFPNightingale2200 wrote: »Goal this week is to just get through this week.

I hope you are travelling safe, Flo! And may I ask if this is for business or pleasure??
I'm a little late, but my goals this week is to be active every day, continue the 30-day plank challenge, and make my next mini-goal of 233 lbs. I am also trying this new thing where aside from NS meals, all other food I eat will be sugar/artificial sweetner/'hidden sugars' (xanthum gum, ect.) free. We will see if it makes a difference!0 -
Put a positive mantra in my bathroom ...it sez....you are worth it!....look at it each morning and smile! Setting little challenges each day to keep exploring and facing what in my head is keeping me from taming this weight loss beast!0

New week, and I feel great with a positive CAN DO attitude, and I'm back from vacation and moving that scale this week with great NS food and tons of veggies, and changing it up at the gym, with more weight lifting, still will do my cardio, but need to add the weights in more this week.0
