I was so happy with Saturday's weigh in coming in under 200 that yesterday and today has been discouraging. But I got this! Let's get this Monday started!4 -

Don't let it get you down! Use it as fuel this week. You are still down 1.4 lbs from the previous weigh in, so you are headed in the right direction - and yes, you do got this!!!1 -

I know I put my weight up yesterday but not in the correct format. My apologies. I ended up falling asleep putting my little to sleep. Here’s to 9.5 hours of sleep!

A lot of people say you shouldn't weigh daily, but I definitely thinks it helps to see how food affects you. Like salt, etc. You can learn how much it adds to your weight, and how long it takes for your body to "normalize". Also, even if it is like .2 pounds, it helps motivate me to keep going.
And... FAJITAS! OMG YESS! What do you like to put in your fajitas, and wht spices do you use?
@BEASTFIELD314 I weigh everyday too. I don’t let it dictate my day, if it’s a bad weight, I like seeing the numbers and how they lay out. Recently found out that cured ham makes me hold water for like a week! Have to watch that in the future. (I love ham)🍖🍖🍖1 -

I make my own mustard dressing with 2tbsp vinegar, 2 tbsp lemon juice, olive oil 1tbsp, 3 tsp garlic powder and 3 tbsp of ground chia seed 1/2 cup of french mustard (this is to make a small bowl to be refrigerated) I then use a spoonful with my snack 6 baby carrots, 1 chop celery stalk and 8 cucumber slices 84 cal
This is my version but you need to find veggies you like and do something similar. Although it's low in calories it's very filling.2 -

Goals/Day/Comments: Not the best weight loss for week 1, but my first week is rarely great. Getting back into the swing of things. Did a little cleaning outside - hosed off the patio, got the grill prepped for the season. Fixed a few things around the house. Overall, tried to make it a relaxing day, getting ready for the week.
I have my alarm set for 5am. We'll see how that goes. Just getting myself used to getting up early so I can then start getting some exercise (probably walking) in each day. Hope the weekend treated you all well, and the week ahead is great!
Jason, just FYI that backyard work counts as exercise as well. 😃😃
Since I've become disabled I learned to calculate every movement especially if it lasts more than 5 minutes

I was really proud of myself today. I did my own yard work for the 1st time in years. My yard has a bunch of big bare spots so today I raked the spots to loosen the soil, dropped down some top soil, seed and straw. I also set up a sprinkler to water it. I'm really hoping the bare spots fill in a little before the crazy hot weather hits.
Since my weight loss rate has dropped to a crawl this month I'm going to try some metabolism boosts.....some that you all have talked about. Drinking a lot more water and adding green tea are tops on my list. I tried green tea with Swerve today and it was good. I already eat a lot of lean protein. I plan to follow the Doc's advice and get in 3 cardio workouts per week. I need to work on getting more sleep too. This is an article I was reading: https://healthline.com/nutrition/10-ways-to-boost-metabolism#section9
Excellent and I love your goals. I have to say ever since I've drinking water and sleeping my 7-8hrs I've been so much better in dropping the pounds on a consistent basis0 -

Oh no I'll be praying he has a speedy recovery that can be so painful as individuals get older but really praying he's not in too much pain and has lots of help through the recovery process.0 -

HAPPY MONDAY TEAM SLIMSONS
MOTIVATIONAL TIP: STRESS EATING & LOW CALORIE FOODS
When you find yourself in the momentof additional stress make sure your cupboards and refrigerators are filled with fat burning or low calorie foods or go outside and do something productive to relieve that stress. I myself emotional eat so I am speaking from experience. I'm still seeking an outlet for my emotional eating as its been 45 days and I have a tentative handle on it right now. As you know it takes 90 days to create a habit so I am O LY halfway there and I find myself at times googling cakes and cookies soooo not good.
Be blessed.
Regards

Hi all, I'm Lissy. Was part of this last month but wasn't able to put in as much effort as I would have liked.

I'm having trouble finding motivation and being consistent. I feel like I know *how* to do everything and *what* I should do, I just don't, won't, or can't. I make plans for good changes, then when it comes to implementing them, my brain is like "nah, you're good." I'm really aiming to be accountable this month with you guys. If anyone wants to ping me if you don't hear from me, that would be wonderful, and I'm happy to do the same back. I may not have dedication to myself (yet), but I'm good at helping others.

Calories - didn't track but probably over
Water - good
Exercise - went for a walk with my boyfriend
Today I went for a walk in the morning before work and am hoping to go for a walk again later today, as well as get some strength and/or yoga in. I'm trying IF again (it worked well for me in the past, it's just HARD). I'm donating blood tomorrow so I don't think I'll be able to be as active tomorrow afternoon.2 -

Ok, so I'm still trying to get caught up in this thread, but your post caught my eye for 2 reasons:
1) I had a trainer once who suggested I log my weight everyday, but really only concern myself with week-to-week comparisons, i.e., Monday to Monday, Tuesday to Tuesday, etc. That way you could see patterns in your eating (i.e., weight is down every Friday, but up every Monday - are you splurging too much), catch any upward trends before you are 2 weeks (or more) into them, and not get discouraged my a temporary weight gain. I felt like that gave me pretty good insight into my eating habits without being discouraging.
2) "snowballs" ... are you in Louisiana or from Louisiana?
Or does someone else use that term? (I'm not from there, but did live there for a while.) 1 -

I had the same question! I'm from Louisiana and don't know of any other state that calls them "snowballs". Got excited that there may be someone else from my area in this group.0
