I think Thursday is my weigh-in day

One thing I did well: tracking and logging my food
One thing I need to work on: WATER!!!

Not a huge loss over here, but a loss! I may need to recalculate my macros. I'm at 1650 cals per day, which seems high but I really don't feel deprived so I feel like it's something I could stick with long term.

Daily Post (Wednesday)

Track: yes
Calories: Over, 1443/1380
Exercise: None
Day: Eh

Feeling moody still this morning (Thursday), scale is also not budging from the higher weight I'm really hoping this is all TOM and will change shortly, as I've been sticking to plan. For now its bothering me and getting under my skin....just gotta make it through til the weekend, then hopefully I will feel a little boost in my mood. We will see how weigh-in tomorrow goes....

@jwall309~ Thanks for the uplifting message! I’m glad I’m waking up to that today. THANK YOU!! I was just “off” all day. And hungry. I wish I would recognize it sooner as it just has to be TOM or mid-TOM as my emotions this morning are all over the board. I’m not “regular” so it’s harder for me to track. LOL On those days I just need to up my calories and be okay with it. Like how you are learning to do with weekends. Yahoooo some tennis! Good for you. Sometimes the daily weigh-in can be frustrating, but we need to remember the big picture. NO caffeine. ARGH! Soldier on my friend!
HUGS… inhale.. Exhaaaaaaale. I had a day or two like that, but it has to be TOM. So don’t let it get you riled up or ruin your good week. Make it a lesson, as a woman can not control everything about her body. It’s the big picture that we need to focus on. Right? Right! You got this!
@Qbaimee~ Good job on tracking Tuesday and being under! “Only” 30 mins… that’s a good amount of exercise for most. But you must be used to more. And what a good mom to get your daughter started in fitness. I hope she enjoys it!
@goodreadsgal~ I hope you find our thread to weigh-in. I’ll try to go searching for it and copy and past here for you. Thanks, @HASWLRS!
@bakay138~ Awesome!! Yes, you were focused. Nice loss!! For exercise, set aside a specific time even if only 10mins and make it a habit. Then from there, it will grow and you’ll do more. Creating habits.
@Perla4686~ HUGS. I had an off day, too. But we’re here for each other to start this new day fresh and eager to lose the lbs and be positive about what we are doing. After all... we ARE RUNTRACKMINDS!!
@Gen216 ~ so sorry to hear you are not well. Take care of yourself and stay hydrated. Overall wellness is key to your weight loss success, so take care. HUGS
@ajaia2001~ So sorry for your loss, she was too young. Good job at being able to recoginize your emotions, write about, and to go to bootcamp. Awesome! God job! HUGS
@JamieD328 ~ I count my tea in my water count. HUGS Hope you feel better soon.
@skullsandskeletons~ Good job on eating nutritiously. And thanks for the hugs and the positive post about us posting regardless of our day.
@jupdyke~ Awesome Wednesday!
@Fivepts! ½ way to goal… exciting! Hope you are feeling 100% and we get to hear more from you.
@Hey3432~ Yes, Thu is your weigh-in day. Thanks for posting. And a loss is a loss!! Yeah you!! Sticking with something long term is key. And with that allowance you can increase exercise I bet without feeling too deprived. That’s where I am struggling some. If I eat too little and exercise, I’m starving. But then I have to be careful to not overeat, too. Ugh. Such a balancing act. LOL I tell my husband all the time…. Your ears hear the words you say, which goes to your brain. So say (or read) good words! Right? 😍

Yes, we DID post even if it wasn’t the best of days. Regardless if we're perfect or struggling.
And we ARE here for each other for encouragement and support. It's about being accountable. We are learning that hiding our heads in the sand does not help our situation or solve our problems. We can do this!! Together!!

Remember we are . . .

The three elements of what it takes to be successful at weight-loss and keeping it off are:
Run -keep moving
Track -know what you’re eating/ drinking
Mind -train your brain to be positive about yourself and okay with change(s).

Good evening everybody! I didn’t exercise today, and I feel bad. I’m also frustrated because even though I’ve been eating well, exercising, etc my weight fluctuates so frequently that I’m now almost back to where I started. I started at 172, my first weigh-in was 167, and I got on the scale today (just to see), and it’s back up to 169. It’s so frustrating! This happens all the time, and most likely I never stick with weight loss plans because I don’t see results like I want. So, if anyone is experiencing the same thing, or even if you’re not, I’d really love some feedback and encouragement. I’m not quitting this time; I refuse; I’m also not gonna drown my sorrows in anything that’s going to wreck my diet. I’m just gonna keep at it, but it’s soooo discouraging.

I hope other people are having a better evening than I am, currently!

What OTHER things can you do or use as tools as good health, besides the scale? Do you have goals of eating a certain amount if veggies per day? Or measuring certain areas of your body? Or can you walk a further distance than when you started? Or exercise longer than when you started? Are your clothes, looser. We have to learn that overall wellness is not measured by the scale alone? Are you eating better? I'll look for the blog that helped me with the mindset of focus on other tools. Hope that helps. Water weight and our womanly makeup wreaks havoc on making sense of using just the scale. Chat soon.

Good post. Don't give up. Don't give in. We are not quitters, we are a team.... RUNTRACKMINDS!!

@johicks thanks for the response. I have to remind myself all the time that women face such an uphill battle with weight loss because of hormones, etc. It’s just so frustrating when I know I’m doing the right things, but not seeing the results I want. I am looking at weight loss by my clothes, as well, which has helped a little bit. Unfortunately, I’m very numbers-driven. The calorie limit I’m on is supposed to help me lose a pound/week, so we’ll see how things look on Sunday. Thanks again for the encouragement; I am definitely not giving up! I will read that article tonight 🙃

Daily post Thursday June 6:
Tracked: yes
Calories: under
Exercise: no but again got lots more steps in.

Sending positive vibes and hugs to all of you! We can do this!

It's Friday check in time for me. I have had a few carb splurges (I am trying to do low carb but end up doing moderate carb because it's cherry and berry season and I can't seem to resist.) I am also trying to do intermittent fasting but it's light til about 11 pm and cools off in the evenings and that's when everyone else wants to eat, so my 18:6 fasting: eating window has more eating and less fasting. Anyway, I am still losing a tiny bit but need to be more focused on eating healthy today. I would love to get back to losing 2lbs a week but it's getting harder and harder as I get closer to my set-point weight and size (or the weight/size my body has been comfortable at for decades ie 140lbs, sz 10). My healthy weight is about 20lbs less than that. sigh....
