    Todays Goal to keep moving. I had planned on getting in a swim but unfortunately my SO will be working late and I have to feed the kiddos. So can't get to the pool but I will do something. Either another fitbit workout or maybe a crossfit workout. Just not supposed to be lifting weights. All of this however will come after my physical therapy appointment assuming I am not in to much pain. LOL. I am also going to try to do a no eating after 7pm goal for tonight and at least for now during the week. I have done well yesterday.

    @Nikion901 love your idea for pictures when walking. I went out tonight, walked a mile! :smiley: Took this picture, love the evening sky!qmbl76b3q3bh.jpg I wonder why the house on the left looks like it's leaning? It's not! Probably the way I was holding the camera. I'm not the best picture taker but I do love this shot.

    I love the picture idea. never thought of it but will try that myself.

    verybusybee - No eating after 7PM is huge. I'm sure it will produce great results. Go for it.

    bapcarrier - Love the picture. Thanks for sharing.

    I went swimming before work today!! One of my goals. And I enjoyed it. Just gonna have to do it a bit earlier.
    I didn't take a deep breath 4x a day, but I did do it twice a day!! It was nice. A moment.

    My Tuesday Goal is to eat right. I am aiming to meet my calorie limit. (That's rather noncommital, I realize, but I have been so way over that I guess my first step is to bring it closer to my calorie limit)

    I wrote down what exercise I'm going to do every day and my goal is to follow the schedule.

    Total weight loss so far - since sept 6, 2017 - 12.4 LBS

    Had another session with my dietician today, and she was very happy with my progress. In only 5 weeks, I lost 12.4 lbs of which 8.8 lbs was pure fat loss. And I lost just over 3 inches around my waist.

    Wednesday wish: Since I'm going to visit my parents in Malta at the end of November, I wish that I could lose a total of 10% of my weight. If things continue to go as they have, I should be able to get very close to this goal.

    Have a great Wednesday everyone!

    Okay, so the hormonal pms bloat is gone, now I have to knuckle down this week and see what I can do.

    I have been eating more calories than I started off with, for various reasons, one of which is I do not want to screw up my metabolism by eating too little and be stuck with that forever. But in doing that I have also been less strict about what I am eating.
    So for the next week I will eat between 1600 and 1700 calories but I recommit (again, sorry) to a good diet of whole food. One week of carbs under 100, higher fiber and no added sugar/treats.

    Good luck to me
    and to all the people here, on your road to a better, healthier life <3<3<3

    FALL CHALLENGE

    Name: Barney
    Age: 58
    Height: 5' 3"

    Start Weight (as of Sept. 16th): 227.8 lbs
    Goal Weight (for Nov. 18th): 213.4 lbs (aiming for 1.6 lbs/week this time since I need to slow my loss a bit)

    Weigh in Weeks (listed by Wednesdays)

    1. Sept. 20: 226.0 lbs
    2. Sept. 27: 224.6 lbs (woo hoo!...I'm finally BELOW the Morbidly Obese category!!!).
    3. Oct. 4: 222.6 lbs (on vacation Sept 28 - Oct 4, actually weighed in Oct 5th).
    4. Oct. 11: 222.6 lbs (stalled!)

    6. Oct. 25:
    7. Nov. 1:
    8. Nov. 8:
    9. Nov. 15:
    Final Weigh in: Nov. 18:

    Weight -/+ this week: - 0.0 lbs (stalled this week--first I've stalled in over 6 months)
    Total weight -/+ this challenge: - 5.2 lbs
    Total overall weight lost so far: - 94.4 lbs

    I've been working on re-adjusting my macros lately for my 2400 daily calorie allowance. My labs indicated that I'm eating more protein than I need so my dietitian recommended I decrease my protein to about 150 grams/day (I was up around 190-200 grams/day) and work on getting my carbs up closer to 240 grams/day since my insulin requirements have gotten quite low lately (only needed 3 units/day with about 190 grams/day of carbs). I'll see how things look next Wednesday before making a bit of a shift back as it might just take my body a little more (or a lot more) time to adjust to this change.

    Wednesday wishes
    I wish that the beautiful aspects of fall would last a lot longer. Today's rain and tonight's wind are bringing down the leaves and it might drop into the 40's tonight. Winter is long, dark and cold here. If only it would stay nice!

    Hello all! My name is Connie and I am from Tennessee. At this point, I still have at least 100 pounds to lose. I am "borderline" diabetic (have my 1st diabetic meeting tonight, YIKES!). I can't seem to keep a hold of the wagon. I just keep falling off and bouncing quite a bit. I am hoping that I come away from this meeting with a better understanding of what I need to do to get myself healthy and back on track. I got a fitbit last Christmas, but up until now it has been a really fancy watch. I have been trying to get regular with a low step goal of 6,000 a day. Once I can maintain that on a regular basis, I plan to increase the step goal until I am at least doing 10,000 a day (which is hard since I have a desk job).

    Following Barney's lead, here are my stats:

    Name: Connie
    Age: 53
    Height 5' 7"
    BMI: 40.9 YIKES!

    Original start weight 285.6
    1st 10% goal weight 257.2 (my lowest weight in 3 years)
    Goal by 12/27/17 249 (ideally 231; in reality 249)
    2nd 10% 231
    3rd 10% 208
    4th 10% 187
    5th 10% 168 (Goal!)

    9/6 265.4
    9/13 264.8
    9/20 263.6
    9/27 264.8 (retaining fluid terribly today)
    10/4 261.2
    10/11 261.2
    10/18 (goal 259)
    10/25 (goal to meet my 1st 10% goal)
    11/01
    11/08
    11/15
    11/22
