Mine is I'm going to weigh tomorrow then not again until the end of the month.....I've been on a stall for weeks and driving myself batshit mental about it to the point I NEED to eat crap..... (haven't but I'm soooooo close)

Goal Do physical exercise 5 days/week for at least 30 minutes.

KISS Goal:

1) I am going to stop weighing every day. I have been at a stall for a few weeks with only a little drop a few days ago that came right back. I keep saying that seeing the scale fluctuate doesn't bother me, but that's only true if it gives me a new low number on a weekly basis. I admit that I now am too concerned with it on a daily basis. I am simplifying by removing daily weighing.

2) I also want to reduce the amount of sugar free coffee syrup I use. I have noticed that sweet taste sensitivity has gotten to the point that I have been going for an extra half pump of syrup. It used to taste sweet enough with only 2 and I got up to 3.5! That's almost doubling my artificial sweetener use. Plus, I believe that too much sweet taste can cause me to crave more and that's not something I'm ok with.

Implementation Plan:

I will weigh in once a week on Tuesday, and I will cut the coffee syrup back to no more than 2 pumps by a gradual reduction day by day to regain the sensitivity of taste.

Expected results:

I expect to be more relaxed throughout the week regarding weight and be able to work my diet and exercise plan less focused on loss and more focused on simply doing what I know is best for me.
As far as cutting back the AFS, I just think the less I use the better for my body and I don't like that I will drink coffee a certain way for weeks and all of a sudden I don't think it tastes as sweet anymore so I add more... I feel like this is just another way of over doing it and there's no need. So I will cut back and retrain my taste preference to be more sensitive and will enjoy less sweetener again.

KISS Goal:

1. Get back to basics. Lately, I have been trying too many faux foods (almond flour is so NOT my friend), letting my quantities creep (not even carb foods, just in general), eating too much of keto desserts to the point of getting sick or eating way too much, stopped eating basic foods/depending on weird stuff.
2. Focus on my water. I haven't hit a single water goal in a month. SAD.
3. Work towards getting more sleep. I had gotten up to getting nearly 7 hours a night (up from 4.5 average), and then I added in some mindfulness destressing, which took up far more time than intended, and I'm back to 4.5-5 hours a night... I just can't do that! And if something prevents me from sleeping when preferred (insomnia or life, etc), work on getting more self care in - it's relaxing and needs to become routine.

Implementation Plan:

1. Focus on meal prepping for my breakfast. Eggs, sausage, cheese, etc. Batch cook on weekends/evenings so I can just reheat in the mornings. Stop experimenting. Get back to individually portioned fat bombs and fat bombs that agree with me more. Repeat: eggs, meats (not generally processed), and the veggies I love. Have the majority of my daily intake be real food, not some fill in item that "fits the fat macro" but has no other nutritional value.
2. Drink a water bottle fully before getting out of bed. Retool my reminders on my water tracking app to be more value-added. Make it a habit again.
3. Going to start tracking tomorrow night, then work to add a minimum of 10 minutes per night until I'm over 6 hours of sleep. Target is 7 hours, as I just don't know if 8 hours is feasible, as going to bed at 9 pm means dinner then bed - no couple time, which is essential to both of our sanity. The first and last 30 minutes of my day should be all about me, rejuvenating and relaxing. I have a few new things I'm hoping to put in the rotation this month.

Expected results:
I want to get that scale and those sizes trending downward again. I've been kind of stuck in a "transporter loop" of my own making. I've looped past this low weight at least twice, and it is my intention to make this time the last time. All of these items above will add peace and quality of life to mine. My primary focus is on my health, and I want to make some more good strides before my next check ups in October.

Hello all

My wife wants a bigger house. I told her we just need to get rid of stuff, and the house will seem bigger.

So my simple goal to simplify my life: get rid of at least one thing every single day of September.

If I get desperate, I'll start asking for your addresses so I can send you stuff.

I have a small house and a few years ago I got rid of so much crap! It really does make it seem larger. I also had a lot of color on the walls. Different color in almost every room. Then I painted everything a nice warm sandy tone and that made such a huge difference! I couldn't believe it.

I've never been one to weigh myself everyday so there's that. I'm gonna pray so that the carb cravings don't get me.

I am going to learn hooping for exercise. A little every day. Right now I can't even get it to stay up on my hips. But I'll get there. It looks really fun.
I'm also in the home stretch for my weight destination, so I need to figure out a solid maintenace plan.
I am terrified of relapsing and gaining back weight, as I have done over and over in my life.
Good luck everyone.

I feel you on maintenance issues

I am adding active hobbies to transition to the last 10 pounds gone and holding

Good luck to you as well

My KISS will be to Keep It Simply Savage, and transition back to Zero Carb once my garden veggies are done in a couple of weeks...oh and hopefully more kissing too.

My KISS: be sure to get my water in on the week ends. I keep my 24 oz bottle on my desk at work and easily drink 3 during the day, then comes the week end and I forget to get the water in!

Water, water, water. I've let my diet coke habit creep up again (3-4/day), so will still have 1 in evening but aiming for at least 2 qts water every day.

I have thought about this

I'm going to stop analyzing things that work for. Me so much and just do them

As a science type degree person I do that

I really don't care why low carb high protein works so well for me. It just does

I took a few progress pics of my legs and you know what? It works. I'm getting results

So if it works, I'm just gonna ride it and enjoy.

This fitness stuff is hard enough without making it more complex than it needs to be

And whoever mentioned chia seed pudding, thank you!

That stuff is great and my body seems to like it. Keeps me full for hours!

My KISS
Put the scales away for the month
Add a stretch/yoga routine three days a week
Eat simpiler..things like steak, broccoli and butter and things that don't take a lot of prep
Prep snacks on weeked for entire week like boiled eggs, celery sticks, carrot sticks, dip.

Goal- to end the month feeling rejuvenated and hopefully weigh end of month with a loss.

My KISS simple, walk a little more. I'm going to try for the 5k a day again. An extra field at the park or just a few more minutes on the treadmill at the gym should do it for me.

My goal: To engage in social-based physical activity at least once a week. Go walking with someone (other than the dog), go to a yoga class (instead of a private instructor)... some type of exercise in a group setting.

Background: I have Asperger's and I'm an introvert. It took me a year of reading the message boards just to post. I exercise alone, I work alone, hell, I practically live alone because hubby is an introvert too. Social stuff, plainly, scares the everlovin shyte outta me. Chichat is impossible.

So, the "simple" part of this is to let go of the anxiety once a week and do the exercises I love with others who love them too. I don't know if I can sustain it, but I can try.
