    I'm not sure I'll continue with the challenge....or maybe I can just check in. Just found out that I'm pregnant.

    Goals:
    -Drink all 8 cups of water each day
    -Remember to take my vitamins
    -Watch my sugar intake

    @inmylife1979 Congrats! And feel free to continue with us if you'd like, we do have a cheer squad!

    Thank you! I'm going to keep on weighing in on Mondays to hopefully keep myself in the best possible shape. I'd love to be on the cheer squad!

    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.

    Thank you! Yes, the cheer squad would be great!

    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.

    You got this!

    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.

    Awesome loss. And great NSV

    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?
    Drink more water.

    Have to get out of this funk. Hoping to stay strong this week with my eating.

    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.
    This group is such a great support. And yes knowing we all have similar struggles helps me too.

    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!
    Nice!

    Comments: Started the day so well, but after a long day at a theme park with 4 year old it has ended in me only wanting chocolate. (I am trying so hard to resist)

    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.

    @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.

    I was wondering about that too. I was just looking at hip flexibility exercises. It's not too bad yet so I want to get started with that before I need to go to PT. I notice it the most after one of my long walks.

    Walking can mess up my hips quite a bit too! I'm getting back into yoga (great way to start the morning), and I noticed how tight my hips have gotten. Pigeon pose and lunge stretches have been great for me.

    Apologies haven’t done a weigh in yet. Have no scales at home and trying to muster enough motivation to go to the gym.

    Turned 49 on Sunday and it started ok. Did a 5 mile race which I really enjoyed but then went down hill. Spent most of the rest of the day sitting at home alone feeling sorry for myself and comfort eating. Such a vicious circle and it’s starting to worry me now.

    I really want to do this and get my head back in the game but it’s hard to get motivated when you feel this way. I really must sort myself out.

    Sorry for the woe is me post. I’ll start again tomorrow and kick myself up the butt. You’re all doing great and I wish I could get motivated. Maybe tomorrow .....

    I myself have just started getting my motivation back. (March was a tough month for me). All I can say is that you will get there. Sometimes it’s not that easy. And you are right- it’s a vicious cycle hard to get out of sometimes. But remember you are worth this. Be kind to yourself. Forgive yourself for getting off track. It’s ok. We are here for you. Let us know what you need. Hugs.

    Much better today. Normally after a weekend of esting too much, I end up hungry on Mondays.... but today I feel full. And I know I barely hit 1000 calories. Wondering if my stomach is still off from yesterday. I was quite uncomfortable last night and this morning. Feeling better now, ut still have a full feeling.
    Oh well. Still stayed under in cals and trying to get back on track!

    Hi All!
    Happy Monday! 🌻

    Daily check in - 4.8

    Working a lot and trying to keep my energy and motivation up!

    Tracked - yes! Down to the sunflower seed!
    Calories - under! If it’s not on the plan/ it doesn’t fit my goals!
    Exercise- 45 min SoulCycle with heavier weights, stretching every morning and using that torture device we call a -foam roller .

    NSV! I lost 2 inches on my waist and 1 inch on hips/ this is big for me since my weight does not like to budge from these 2 locations!! I have 3 inches to go!

    Goals- I’ve been getting in a lot more water, have to continue. 💦 been drinking more matcha tea instead of coffee and have to keep focusing on the omega 3s and greens. Have to keep hitting those! 9 weeks til vacay. 👙

    Have an awesome, positive day!

    Awesome NSV I love when I lose inches even at times it's seems so tough way to go you're almost there 👌🏾👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾

    I was feeling a bit tired and had a slight headache (allergies probably-the pollen is ridiculous ) after work today to get to the gym or go running so I have given myself a pass today. I go back to this nutritionist tomorrow. I had 3 goals to accomplish in this month since I went last and have not met any of them. But I am going to face the music and I have recently been refocused. So here’s to a better month. Lol.
    Hope you all have a wonderful evening.

    Sometimes it is hard to face the music but once we do we find more support for our progress and even little ideas on the changes we need to incorporate. So I am sure you're going to have an awesome session with your nutritionist especially now you're determined to be focus.
