For the past 10 days, I've been able to prep meals and stick to my meal plan about 85-90%. Damn those Lindt Lindor truffles Santa brought me in my stocking. But even those, at most I've had 3 at a time. I brought cookies to my meeting to get them out of my house and everyone ELSE ate them. I'm on day 4 of 30 day yoga challenge.
Areas of improvement:
Increase water intake
Trust that weight loss takes time and results aren't instant. Feel good and be proud in my actions, not the results.3 -
@DebBahr Good luck on the renovations. Hope it is speedy
@guenhwyvar Welcome. Share some of your posts here. You can do the last 10 lbs. 👍

Today I walked the neighborhood since it was a nice day. Somehow sleep time almost noon which was crazy. Must of needed it I guess.
Not so good on the water.
Thanks everyone for being inspirations to get me out to do something when i would normally just not do anything 😘🤗2 -

@echoroyal79 I do Rob Nevin's Slim Nation (used to be called living lean). My first time with his program, I was pregnant. It kept me from gaining too much weight, I gained about 20 lbs with my daughter. I gained far more after she was born, not doing any plan. It's a 3 day carb cycle plan, high protein, low carb, lower fat for 2 days and then on "load" day, you up your carbs. My sister and a few friends were very successful on this program. It starts with specific meals but when you get the hang of it you can substitute foods as long as the calories match up and the category is the same (ex. Protein for protein)2

Drank 65 oz of water today. Did my weigh in and took all my measurements. 😳 The goal for today was the water and measurements, so I will take that as a win. @echoroyal79 Thank you for the support. I HATE exercise. I always feel like crap afterwards and super grumpy. I do it because it is necessary. It’s hard to find time because some days I work 14/16 hours and so I want to see my kid on the other days. It’s just not easy.3

Ive gone to the gym every day this week and eaten clean and stayed under my daily calorie limit, but earlier when I weighed myself I'd gained 1.6 pounds since yesterday... I tried to tell myself it was because id gotten to the gym much later in the day than usual and already eaten and drank a good amount of water, but it was honestly still pretty upsetting. On top of that the app yelled at me today that I was too far under my calories for the day even though i'd felt like id eaten a decent amount.... idk I guess this is a frustration rant. Thanks for letting me vent.1

Do you weigh yourself at the same time each day? It’s not really worth comparing random times you stepped on the scale throughout the day. And 1.6 lbs is nothing really. There could be a million reasons for a fluctuation that small.1 -
@riley2eat are your hormones fluctuateing? Actually I’m sure they are. Maybe something like happyscale that shows an average would help with the mental side.0

I would definitely only weigh first thing in the morning! Everyone "gains" weight throughout the day with eating, drinking, sweating, etc.3 -

Yes, I see you...happens with me too sometimes. But you can carry on the way you feel best for you....just don't eat too less to jeopardize your health in the long run, dear3 -

You are doing awesome! Keep up the good work and don't let the scale get you down!2 -
Made it thru the week pretty well. I'm not getting enough water and plan on working more on that. I also want to try a dance fit class offered at our gym on Wednesday! I lost 3 of the 5 pounds I put on during the week of Christmas. Each day is a fresh start!3

It's snowing where I am today. I actually really like days like this, it makes me feel calm and relaxed. I workout at home so it doesn't dim my motivation for working out. I'm currently drinking my morning coffee and adding all my workouts through September into my phone so it's easy for me to quickly look up what each day's workout is. This has been a good first week of the year and I'm really looking forward to the rest of 2019!4

Exercised 3 days this week starting on Thursday! Woot woot! 2 upper body days and a leg day. I'm so weak, but gotta start somewhere 5

Hi, I'm a 40 year old dad with 2 small kids ( 2 & 5 ).
Current Weight = 249 pounds 113 kilos.
Target Weight =180 pounds 82 kilos
Starting today. I have to say at least today I've managed. All healthy eating, plenty of water and a indoor cycling peloton session.
The 12th of feb I get heavy knee surgery that will keep of sport for months, so I want to get at least set the good habits for then.
I became overweight from 19 years of age and then have been yoyoing around. My brain is incorrectly and when I lose some weight or even a lot, my brain says, oh you look fab, over eat again, which is of course not true or good. I've decided to become an active member here and hopefully improve.5 -

Water challenge
I have been on average56 oz. Something I need to work on, seriously. This is not counting coffee or shakes
Workouts for the week: mostly doing 30 minutes of walking, elliptical, or doing horsey stuff
How much weight lost during the week: 2lbs
I apologize for being very vague with my responses. We are having problem with the pipes at the house. All of a sudden there was water everywhere. Took a break for a moment to do my update. Probably later this evening I will put up the newest challenge for next week to build on to it.
I skimmed everyone's comments and you all are doing great. A motivator for sure to do something everyday🤗🤗❤💕
Thank everyone. Have a safe and beautiful week.
Linda

Something I need to do for myself. Thought I would share with the group❤💕1 -
So work out wise I've been going to the gym daily and working out on machines for 30-60 minutes. Ive also gone swimming with my girls 3 times this week. Sometimes when I try to log my exercise on here with the times I put in it gives me calories way above what the machines said I burned so I have to cut down my times to get them to a more realistic number?
Food wise I've been eating very clean fruits veggies nuts lean meats etc..
Im still trying hard to keep up with the water, I essentually drank no water at all before so I'm definately making progress.
Weight wise I've lost 4.2 lbs this week. I was hoping to fit 5 but hey, it's a start.
I've been off work on vacation for the last week and go back this Tuesday. I'm pretty nervous about sticking to my exercise schedule once I'm back but I'm trying to convince myself I can do it and I wont let myself down.2
