Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

Good Morning Everyone!!

A new week is starting and I am already on my countdown to my trip to the US; I will strop briefly by house to check how everything is going and before that in San Francisco for about a week. My husband has to work, so I will be mostly on my own but hope to get a good amount of steps done by sightseeing and shopping

I started my day by creating a menu for this week; I hardly do that, but I think organizing my self a bit will help me keep my daily calories within the limit and hopefully more weight will come off Lets see if I can stick to it!

@NewTnme good luck with your journey! 20lbs by Thanksgiving is a big goal to achieve, but if you organize yourself and are strict with your diet and exercise you can totally achieve it!

@tdunnegan Happy 24th anniversary!!

@cellosmiles how cute your dogs look with their jackets!! Congrats on staying within your calories and getting back on track!!!

@ihp2015 trips and family are always a great incentive! My dad is coming to visit mid November and I have not seen him in like a year, so last time he saw me I was at my heaviest, so even though he know I am losing weight, it will be a nice surprise for him to see me thinner in person.

@verybusybee well done!! Swimming is a great exercise and so relaxing. And it doesn't matter how fast you were before, what matters is that you are getting back to it .. step by step, you will get there!

@jam5660 WTG on your NSV! I just think its amazing as we lose weight how we get more confident to do other things that before we would not dare to ... congrats!!!

Hello folks, I just have a quick minute for a really short check in.
@happygirlxxx just wanted you to know I'm praying for your friend/brother. Please keep us posted.
@tunnegan Happy Anniversary
@cellosmiles Love the dog pictures and that you and @ihp2015 are both walking in the rain!
@jam5660 planning meals ahead is the way to go. Takes so much of the stress out of our daily lives. I try to plan each day or two, haven't gotten to a full week or more yet. I used to plan like you are, not to lose weight but to help with my budget. need to get back to that, thanks for the reminder.
Have a great day, everyone.

good Morning. I didn't update yesterday but I will now. I was on the ball field most of the day yesterday but I was able to get in a 25 minute walk between games. I paid attention to my body and when my leg began to hurt I stopped. I felt it a little last night but glad for the workout. After all my leg won't get better if I don't push a little.
As for the food I stayed within my calories but I really need a way to stay below my allot fat intake.

Look at the positive you got in a walk. May I ask why you needed to stretch your legs. I ask because I was recently in a car accident and damaged my left hip, leg and sciatic nerve in my back. I am still on light duty at work and just met with the physical therapist today. I tried walking yesterday at a leisurely pace and only managed 25 minutes. I was sore but I focused on the positive of getting it done and you should do anything is better than nothing.

So today I stayed under my calories. I chose to do a workout in my fitbit. Burned about 300 calories. Still going slow due to my injury but I'm getting it done.

I have nerve impingement in my spine and hips. This makes my legs go numb when I am upright. One of the reasons why is Spinal Stenosis ... and one way to relieve the impingement on the sacral nerve from this condition is to lean forward ad the waist with your head down low, another is to place you legs far apart, one in front of the other, in a pose like the Archer in yoga. This helps to flex the muscles that cramp up. It's a condition I will eventually need to have surgery on, if I don't wait too long. It's been ongoing and progressive for over 40 years now.

@verybusybee great job getting in some movement when you can and sticking to your calories!
@bapcarrier @Nikion901 thank you for the peek into your adventures!!
And Niki way to go getting out there and walking even though it didnt seem up to par, but par used to be not at all! kept at it, you're doing great!!
I remember when I was about 9, my diabetic grandmother(think sweet tea thats like syrup, and snack cakes are a meal type) came to spend the summer with us, and she one day started walking the walkway in from of out house, about 15 yards one way. She was barley able to do 1 lap the first day but she kept at it and was able to do many laps by the end of the summer and dropped about 15lbs!!! Its amazing how little improvements can have such big results!

Hello I am new what I read about the group was very helpful thank you

Tuesday Goals!

My goal for this week is to remain within my max calories for food without having to use my exercise calories ... Monday done!

Love the photos!!!

@bapcarrier Love your photo. Question though...if the house was not crooked, were the trees? LOL I guess what 'm saying is that if the house wasn't leaning/crooked, then the trees would be. (just teasing ya) That was a beautiful picture. Welcome @keke48 and @lil_moniQ.

Tuesday Goal is to be very mindful and have lower than my max calories this week. WI is Friday for me and then the weekend is going to be scary calorie wise. Too many events (3) only 1 of which I will have control over. Yikes!
