This is my 3rd month - started at 301#. I’ve gone up and done a bit, but have been ill (much like les) since Christmas. Heading into Feb feeling better and just finished 2nd round of antibiotics!
Mini goal - end of Feb: 268
Mini goals are key for me! If I look at the total amount I need to lose, it seems unattainable. Ten pounds at a time is doable. Onward!7 -

Exercised? Yes, Yoga class at lunchtime
Calories? Yes
Tracked? Yes
My Fitbit is playing up again, while I never count my steps as true calories burned (and try not to eat my exercise calories) I've joined a new life insurance policy that rewards me for steps, don't want to miss out on my free cinema ticket!
Is that Vitality? If so i have the same insurance and i also get free Starbucks and half price Virgin Active membership!
What's your weigh in day? Mine's Monday. Lost 3lb this week :-) so 196. We got this!2 -

@kimmie_H81 Free starbucks? I'm both envious and aware of how dangerous that could be! (I love me some lattes!)1 -
Gutbusters, as your (co-)captain I've been doing a terrible job of modeling the daily check-in. Why? Because I've been doing a terrible job of tracking!
Maybe I should try to spin this into a positive and say I've been doing a pretty good job of maintaining without tracking?
Anyway, today I try again, and I've already logged breakfast and started a little pre-logging -- afternoon snack, some thoughts about dinner, etc.
So, for all of you pre-loggers out there, what's for dinner tonight? What have you already got planned that will keep you on track for the day and be delicious?1 -
I hadn't thought about it yet, but I usually do. I am not very prepared today. I might get hubby to put some jacket spuds in the oven and have them with some baked beans (usually do a side a salad with them, but haven't got any in at the moment).
Orr.....maybe a chicken stir fry. Have some frozen (pre cooked) chicken pieces and frozen sliced peppers, so wouldn't need to add much to that. Got a sauce in and some noodles...I think.....2 -

Above it the correct info. I usually don't take this much time to caught on.
@matthewsfive I know, this weigh-in stuff can feel a little confusing at first because of how the registration works. Just to get us all on the same page:
You posted on the New Member Registration page on Jan 28 that your starting weight is 259.2. It looks like you want a Saturday weigh-in. The first Saturday weigh-in for February will be this coming Saturday, February 9. Then Sunday will start WEek 2, and your Saturday Week 2 weigh-in will be February 16.
Basically, posting your new member weigh-in on a Monday but choosing a Saturday as your weigh-in day, you bought yourself some extra time before your Week 1 weigh-in! Bonus days! That means more time to lose!
And if this is still confusing, just keep an eye out for @BonnieHosk85 's daily reminders about whose weigh-in day it is, and you can check out the February spreadsheet linked on the TBL main page to see your starting weight, previous weights, etc.
Good luck!
@LesIckaBod
Thanks for helping figure this out. So if I weighed in this past Sat Feb 2nd at 254.6 , should that be my start weight? I don't want to start with a number that's not fair to everyone else. The 259.2 weight number was from Jan 26th.
@matthewsfive I think it's best to leave it as is. Any advantage you have bc of weigh in day will go away after week 1.
sounds good, thanks1 -
Dinner I'm going to be using shaved chicken. To make chicken cheese steak with roasted veggies on a Joseph Pita.

Yep that's the one! You're in the UK then? I don't think I'll lose as much as 3lbs this week but will do my best, my weigh in day is Saturday.1 -
February 5
Exercised: Yes, 3.7km run at lunchtime
Calories: Yes, but ate back exercise calories, bad day at work
Tracked: Yes2 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, walked the dog twice. 20 min this morning abd 45 min tonight.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Honestly No. According to my diary, yes. In reality no, because I didn't log everything. But I don't think I'll be a lot over.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? No, I did a bit of old habit mindless eating. Nothing major, a bit of tuna, a banana chip, a teeny biscuit.
Considering I used to shovel food in and not know what I ate, I think knowing what I had and realising halfway through is a win.
Also admitting to it us a win too.2 -

Feb 5
Tracked: Yes
Calories: a little high
Exercise: Yes
Success on tracking. Regarding calories, I was at 1440 probably - guesstimating some weights and measures. My MFP calorie limit is 1270.
I want to keep up my tracking and resume calculating my tracked TDEE, which was super helpful when I began losing weight last summer. About 3 weeks of solid tracking is necessary for good data. After that, I"ll have a better idea of whether 1270 is right for my body composition and loss right now.0 -

Yes on all.
Question:- what's for dinner:- DH is away tonight, so I get the night off since he doesn't cook! But, I've been using Skinny Taste website for ideas. I keep dishes ready made in the fridge for work lunches and sometimes a breakfast casserole I can quickly heat up in the morning. Soups in bulk are great at this time of the year in the US.2 -
More organised today. Have planned lunch and dinner already.
Lunch: 2 poached eggs on a slice of toast with a bit of salt and ketchup
Dinner: Birdseye Southern Fried Chicken with 100g of homemade skin on chips (fries), carrots and broccoli (with a bit of ketchup - cos I'm obsessed with ketchup lol)0 -

I shared this on my page, but wanted to share here as well:
I needed a break from my meal plan for this week, so I ate and drank what I wanted (BTW, 3 corn dogs = 720 calories), including my first soda in about 6 months. I tracked some things, but for the most part, I ate what makes me "happy".
My weigh in is on Sundays, but I have a doctor appt on Friday, so I decided to see what damage I'd done in advance. I hopped on the scale and I'm down from my last weigh in!
All this to say, even though I wasn't being mindful of what I ate, I must have been subconsciously making reasonable decisions. After seeing those results, I no longer feel the urge to binge the rest of the week and reset on Monday, which was my initial plan. This NSV is better than the weight I lost this week!6 -

February Week 1 Weigh-in
Previous: 170.5
Current: 169.4
After hanging around 170 all week, I finally have hit 169! My original goal was to be 165 by spring break (last week of March for me), so I'm ahead of schedule so far!8 -
Whats for dinner?
We are having lasagne tonight. My husband and daughter will be having garlic bread too but I've intentionally not made enough for myself.2 -
