Back from vacay, and -- like I said -- I do not do technology while on vacation! (Didn't even turn on my phone or take a picture for 6 days!) But I did pretty good -- only ate out twice, and my mom and I both got salads and split the favorite fried seafood (oysters one night, shrimp the other) -- that way we felt like we were getting our old favorites, without walking out of the place miserable and regretful. Anyway, thank you for all the suggestions that everyone helped me with! All in all, I think it was a success.
Now, back to the challenge at hand:
Yes x3. Exercise was a 20-minute run and 20 minutes of squat/lunge/leg circuits.9 -
My one piece of advice, based on what is effective for me, is to have an accountability partner.
My report for today:
Calories: well under my limit. I'm trying to make up for a bit of weight gain through the wedding and related vacation. It's just 1.5 lbs, so my usual healthy habits will take care of that.
Tracking: good
Exercise: 33 minutes of active stretching9 -
3x yes
2 pass

Calories yes
under by quiet a bit
Tracked yes
There is no magic pill that you can take that will take weight off and keep it off. Start with a goal...a realistic one that you achieve in steps. It starts with the mindset that you can succeed you will succeed and you will do what it takes until you find how to because you just can't take one more day without moving forward to that goal. Motivation and being honest with ourselves goes a long way. It also takes owning your part in how you got to that point.
Once you do this find a support system that will help you on the good days and bad. Someone on the same journey as you are on. UAC is such a group glad your here (glad I'm here too...heehee)
Really enjoying all the comments!!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 15 minutes of strength training to wake up the body, and then 3 mile run outside this morning
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Nope, not at all! It's that time of the month for me and I feel horrible tonight and just needed some comfort food. Not very proud of myself, but what's done is done and tomorrow is a new day! Pass Day #1 for June for me.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!
The piece of advice I would give them is don't focus just on the scale -- measurements are so important! Focus on everything but the scale -- measurements, how clothes fit, clothing sizes, energy levels, strength and endurance -- on those inevitable days when the scale doesn't want to be your friend. That will help you stay motivated and get through the frustrating days.10 -
Exercised: p90x3 eccentric lower, 10000 steps
Tracked: yes
Under: yes
I’d tell them start with nutrition, then add in fitness. Stick with it. Meal prep and don’t let the scale frustrate you! Of you remain consistent the weight will fall off!9 -

My advice would be 'start walking'
Yes x 3 today
Exercise 10 min quigong, 30 min yoga, 60 min cleaning
Tracking yes
Calories yes7 -
Yes x 3 for Monday
On track with calories, plus an hour long boot camp.7 -
6/10
Exercise- Yes, 44 min cardio
Cals- Yes, 26 under
Tracked- yes, 128💦 and 19g fiber
I totally agree with logging food daily- I’ll add weighing protein, measuring too. Find a 24oz cup drink 4- you’re at 96oz! 5x- you’re at 120💦 Also measuring is important. Great motivator, especially when the scale might not be moving much😊
Such great advice from everyone!7 -

amazing day! spent the afternoon outside and when i came home i squeezed in a lil muscle toning workout just to get the most out of my calorie burn. usually i end it right there after the walk but i felt really motivated to do a lil extra today!
a couple NSV: i can fit into another pair of shorts and i look great in them i'm so happy! i also have so much energy when i go on my outdoor adventures, i don't even realize i've been out for 2hours without much rest! 🌟 💪
Awesome day @dancefloortragedy! With exercise and yours NSVs! So exciting your shorts fit and you look and feel nice in them😊 Woo hoo!!!

4 Pass Days
Exercise? Yes, still on the stationary bike and now wearing a brace. I think it's helping, hope to know within a month.
Calories? Yes, WITHOUT exercise...…….I LOVE it when this happens
Tracked? Yes
To answer the question of the day...…….my first thought is what has been stated by several others, but to repeat
It's important to know yourself, what works for you, what your challenges are, what you enjoy. Stick with the things you know that work. If you don't know what they are get out there and experiment and find what you enjoy to do!! Biggest tip is, just GET STARTED 5 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, C25K
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, and under, with no exercise calories.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes. I even weighed a brownie. A serving is something like 29 g. That is basically one bite. So disappointing - but I stuck too it.
I'm loving the advice from everyone else! The things that have worked for me (in the past and now), is that I had to truly decide to do something about my weight. I've gone through periods where I want to do something, but I don't prioritize it, or only lasted a few days at a time. This ended up in binge and guilt eating - only making the issues worse. In April I finally decided to stick with it and prioritize it, and things have gone much better.6 -
