    Track: Yes
    Calories under goal: Yes
    Exercise: 13,500 steps (5.4 miles) I went on a 3 mile walk early this morning and a shorter walk in the evening. I also moved furniture in the den to make room for my new treadmill that's arriving Tuesday. I've noticed that I'm starting to have pain in my left hip. The treadmill has a flex deck, which should help with my joints. I've given up on the idea of squats and stairs for now.

    Track: Yes
    Calories under goal: Yes
    Exercise: 10,700 steps

    Feeling better today. I started taking allergy medicine + I think the rain here yesterday helped with the pollen
    Glad your feeling better
    Well done everyone, you’re all doing so well! Keep at it!

    Daily check in - April 6th
    Tracked: No
    Under calories: No
    Exercise: No

    It was a pretty bad day. I hit a real slump and spent 90% of the day on my couch eating takeout food and crying. BUT unlike the past, I’m not going to let this bad day define me and stop me from carrying on altogether.

    In the words of Sixx AM: β€œWe all know that accidents can happen and it’s alright, we all fall off the wagon sometimes. It’s not your whole life, it’s only one day, you haven’t thrown everything away.”

    So back at it today, no blame, no worries.

    Hugs.

    Sorry guys it's not been a great week after receiving some bad news.

    But then my dietician informed me she is referring me to tier 3 weight loss team and recommending surgery so I am determined to show her that if I do have to have the surgery I won't ruin it by still having these bad eating habits.

    You got this!!!!!

    @CindyJNC1963 The pain in your hip can actually be caused by walking, it happened to me when I first started walking a lot late at the end of 2017, had to go through 3 months of physical therapy/rehab and then build back into literally everything...weight lifting and then I built back into walking....but now I know how to avoid it, so that helps.
    Stretching daily and working on my mobility is the only way I avoid the hip issues.

    Calories: Yes
    Exercise:Yes, 2 hours walking.

    Comments: Good day, a bit tired, and it's extremely warm here, been trying not to turn on my air, but that is likely going to happen because of other factors other than being able to make it through the day being warm. Other than that, it was a good day and I stuck to my goals, so I will take it.

    Daily post for Sunday....
    Track: some
    Calories: nope
    Exercise: short walk outside
    Water: maybe 100 oz?

    I barely tracked, I went over in calories, I went through a day of "I don't care".
    It sucks, because I DO care. And when I got on the scale this morning I was kicking myself. Why do I do this?! Almost every weekend.....
    Its frustrating. And I do it to myself. No one else to blame.
    Ok, well, I have this week to get on track and get back to logging everything, getting my squats in, and getting my water intake back up.

    Pw: 250.0
    Cw: 248.4

    I am happy with another loss this week. I didn't get as many regular workouts in as I wanted, but I did get some outside walks in which helps me more mentally and physically. I require sunshine to regulate my mental state I think.

    Hoping for some more warm spring days this week. They are just starting to happen here.

    My NSV this week - I worked out in gym shorts 3 times and 1 time was in public. I haven't worn shorts above my knees out of my house in probably a decade. Then I never have been able to workout in them because of thighs rubbing. I don't have that rubbing anymore and I am trying to get over my fear of showing my legs in public.

    Calories: Over
    Exercise: No

    Fellow Slimsons I need help. How do you manage busy weekends and family celebrations that revolve around food? I did not log in this weekend. Saturday we were at the ballpark most of the day and then celebrated my parents 45th anniversary. Yesterday, we were at the school fair all day. Lots of high calorie food everywhere. I knew I wouldn't be able to track or stay under my calories and no time for a workout so I just ate. Today I feel absolutely horrible. I'm bloated and have no energy. What are some tips and tricks that you use to stay on track?

    I'm feeling the same way. I feel like I just can't get a handle on it. I'm glad for this group though. It's comforting to know there are others with struggles similar to my own and we can all be here to help each other out along the way.

    I don’t have any tips or tricks for the actual day, other than trying to moderate intake, because I prefer to just let loose and celebrate.

    But if I know these occasions are coming up, then I try and be more stringent with myself for a few days before, so that I have extra calories to play with without getting off track.

    Down some pounds! Some of it is water weight/bloating from the last of MTOTM, but I was more active and I tracked what I ate most days. So it's a good start!

    Congrats I know this os a major change but the door is open whatecer you decide. The other option is to be part of our Cheer squad if you want the motivation but not have your weight counted right now.
