Second, welcome aboard to everyone new this month! I’m really excited to get to know you all.
Lastly, I am going to try posting some weekly goals here to help me stay on track! This week’s goals:
• Record all calories every day this week
• Run 1.25 miles
• Ride Phoenix (my horse) 2x
• Be in bed, phone off by 11:00 on weeknights
• Marie Kondo style organize and clean out my T-shirt/pants drawers – I know this is not weight loss related, but the situation has gotten out of hand lol. Putting it on this list will hopefully keep me accountable.
I Marie Kondo organized all of my drawers awhile back and it truly has made a big difference. I don't even mind folding clothes now because everything has its particular place.3 -

Hi All I am a 46 year old single mom of 2. Just had a hysterectomy so I am impatiently waiting to get back to my love of exercising and running. The struggle for me is the eating....I love food and good beer:-) I am an emotional/stress eater...and I LOVE this group! Welcome newbies!6 -
Hi! I'm Stephanie, age 39. I have been part of this team for several months now and it really does help keep me motivated and accountable. I do CICO and like some others here, I don't restrict myself from eating anything. I just have smaller portions to make it fit into my calorie limit for the day.
I am pretty active. I love hiking, kayaking, walking and running and have recently discovered a boot camp class at my gym that I look forward to each week. I'm nearing my GW of 160lbs, so I'm finding it harder to lose now.

Whelp, last night was rough.
It's my time of the month - sorry to all the guys in the group who don't want to hear this, only sharing because it always has a HUGE impact on my diet, exercise, and weight loss in general - anyhoo I had cramps like you would not believe, they went all the way down the inside of my legs and I felt like I could hardly walk. So of course I didn't go for a run and instead ate about 2 extra helpings of dinner, putting me 300+ calories over.
Thankfully I didn't have any snack foods in the house because it would have been even worse.
I also barely slept in spite of going to bed early and feel barely functional today. (Side note: whenever I can't sleep for one or two days and feel miserable the next day, I always think of all the new parents out there - I have so much respect for you making your self presentable and somehow surviving your day to day life after months without a full night sleep!)
Hoping today is better and hoping my little splurge doesn't have too big of an impact on my weigh in day. Keep your fingers crossed for me!5 -

That's amazing! I am hoping to get to that place. I HATE folding clothes lol.0 -

May was not a good month but June is going to be better. I’m a Mum to two boys in New Zealand, it is just coming into our winter so I’m planning on making use of my treadmill this month.
I lead a crazy busy life and never made myself a priority, I can be organised with meal planning but emotional (including boredom) eating is a big problem for me.
One of my goals this month is to be more involved in the group, I am very reserved and struggle to share information about myself, I guess I think it’s not important or people won’t want to know about my life
Morning,
I feel the same way....I struggle to share and I think it's not important and no one really cares......
Laurie
Looks like we’ve taken the first step together Laurie, I hope to hear more from you
@lhughes2019 and @LaurieWrobo please share, we care !
Yes please share! That is what this group is all about

Hi. This is my first week here, and my second week of dieting, and I already have a setback. I injured my knee doing intermittent sprints on my exercise bike. From the cycling experts on the Fitness board, I learned this is a common injury for newbie, unconditioned, cyclists trying to do too much, too soon. That would describe me. About a month of rest before biking or walking any distance. This will be a trial for me, as I may not lose much weight in the next few weeks. BUT, I have been reading the motivational quotes and they bolstered my determination. I can still progress, although it may be slower. And I think of my friend who is in a wheelchair who lost weight without any exercise. It is possible. Thanks for letting me share, and have a great week!!5

So sorry about your injury. Rest up lots so you heal well!1 -
Vacation is interesting this year. My father-in-law is out of hospital but he is not doing well. I am trying to get him to eat and gain some strength. It is heart breaking to see someone lose their independence.
My eating is totally different than I eat at home. I am not weighing and measuring my foods. My husbands aunt brings us yummy homemade bread, so I am eating a lot more bread than usual. I am logging to the best of my ability. I guess Friday’s weigh in will tell all. I haven’t got a walk in since we got here cause it has been raining and cold. Today is warm but lots of rain showers.
Loving everyone’s participation this month. We are going to rock this month!4 -

What makes you think you're the only one on a "strict" diet?BurningSkies2018 wrote: »Well, where do I begin?
Where I'm at, at the moment it's been quite the struggle since I'm the only one here currently on a strict diet and everyone else eats far more unhealthy than I do so it's nice to have others to fall back on.
I'm 32 and from the US (TN.) I'm 5'11" or so and I started MFP in April of this year at a total of over 400 lbs. Since then I have lost 42 lbs doing a mix of just being a little more active and the bulk of it has been fairly strict dieting.
Anyway - my weigh in days are on Mondays.
June starting weight: 360 lbs
June 03: 358 lbs

If I might interject, I think the original poster's reference to being the 'only one here currently on a strict diet' was referring to being the only one in their home ("where I'm at") on a strict diet, and not referring to the team.4 -
Please feel free to delete this if it is not allowed...
Over the weekend was a huge step for me and part of the reason my step count is all over the place the last couple days.
So to understand the reason it was a huge step you need to know that I am terrified of heights. I am 4'11 and 3/4ths (yes the 3/4ths count) and am afraid to look down if that tells you anything.
However, we went to Mackinac on Sunday...We climbed a lighthouse tower, went across the bridge, and went to multiple overlooks along different hiking trails. I think my heart rate was higher due to my fear rather than the actual hiking that went with it.
I really don't have to many people to share this accomplishment with so I thought here might be a good place and it was definitely a work out for me (and finally put into perspective how out of shape I am for my husband...that he finally agreed that if I want to lose weight he will support me).

Overlook off the highway which had a wonderful view of a lake:
A couple other overlook spots along the hiking trail:
And the Nerds freak shake my daughter had...which I didn't even have a bite of:

Oh man, and Mackinac Island fudge is the best! Maybe I’ll make it up there again next year.1 -
No big deal, it was written in a way that read like it was referring to the group. I was concerned that she thought she was alone, that's all.

WAY TO GO! I cannot even imagine having the courage to tackle a fear like that! You rock!
And I am so happy that you have the support of your husband. That makes such a big difference.

First, let me say how sorry I am that you’ve injured yourself when you were only trying to help yourself be healthier. That is a complete Bummer! I will pray for quick healing.
Second, you can lose plenty of weight without exercising. Just choose nutrient dense, low glycemic index foods. Cutting down your calories is what makes you lose weight. Weight loss is 80-90% about what you eat/10-20% exercise. Plus, it’s probably good to let your body adjust to a lot less calories before you exercise anyway.
When you’re cleared to exercise I’d suggest walking. It doesn’t have to be something major. Best of luck to you!!4 -
