    Some individuals did awesome!! Congratulations!! As a group we did okay. “Tough Love” time. Let’s work extra hard over the next two weeks. Let’s lose!! Make a goal, a commitment that YOU CAN really do your food plan and/or exercise for 3-4 consecutive days this week. Remind yourself that you can do anything for just one day- “Just for Today!”

    One thing I did well: Exercising more minutes at one time in the morning. It takes three different activities, but almost 30 minutes daily in am.
    One thing to improve: “Allow” myself a few more calories to prevent night binges, more positive self-talk at nights.

    I'm lucky that I worked off lbs gained in the middle of the week, too many binges. So this week am going to really, really work on that night time. And work hard to get a loss!
    One day at a time.
    One moment at a time.
    JUST FOR TODAY!!

    (Repeat)

    I am so excited to see actual results! I’ve been doing the couch to 5k, and the zombies, run throughout the week and it’s finally paying off! Though I don’t exercise every single day I make sure to track my calories and eat healthy. I haven’t had any soda in about 2 months, which is a huge win for me because I used to drink a ton of it. Now it’s just black coffee, water, and wine for me. I haven’t given up any of my foods, I just eat less of it. I’m so proud that I finally put my mind to this, and it’s paying off!

    Awesome results! Way to go!

    @red1185 ~ Awesome loss and mindset. You're killing it! And you're welcome. Yes, encouraging all of you does help me.
    @jupdyke ~ Thanks! I got this! I'm going to push myself through what ever comes my way this week. Push through and exercise. I got this! Thanks for being an inspiration, too.
    @skullsandskeletons ~ Phew! You did it! Way to push through the rest of your week and holding yourself accountable. Awesome!
    @bhlavac5560 ~ Woooohooo! Not just on the loss, but being able to move more and walking everyday!! Great habits to develop! Keep those NSV near to the heart to keep the motivation and momentum going.

    What I did well: the more I lose, the easier it is to move, and while I still can’t run without wheezing, I walked every day.
    To do better: I need to plan better. I’m always scrambling to figure out dinner because I forgot to dethaw something. I don’t do quite Keto but it’s low carb based, and fresh food oriented. So, if I didn’t dethaw, it’s off to the store I go. It’s just inconvenient and opens me up to temptation.

    It was a nice day. Made hubby breakfast, then after he left for work my daughters and I went and got our nails done. This is my last full week of school, then 3 more days next week. I can do this. Hoping for a good weigh in tomorrow morning. 👍

    Calories: right at the goal limit
    Exercise: no

    I had to skip dinner because earlier I snacked on too much Chex mix that hubby bought. That stuff is really high in calories for a small amount! I need to find a place to put his snacks so they are out of my reach.

    Alrighty... weight stayed the same. I’ve been sipping wine in the evenings and likely that’s not helping. Had a great wknd finally and going to try hard this week to get moving more and start that scale going down. I have an event this week where I’ll be around my partners ex-wife so I really wanted to look great! She can be quite snotty so I just wanted to smile and look fab. Was hoping to lose another 5 lbs but that didn’t happen- but my haircut looks cute lol Oh the things that motivate us hey?! Lol

    Have an awesome week everyone!! ❤️

    One thing I did well: Maintained a good exercise routine
    One thing to improve: I want to make better choices 'last minute'. This week I unexpectedly ended up out for lunch/dinner a couple of times. I need to make consistently healthy choices even when faced with a menu full of other possibilities.

    Daily check-in
    I am hosting15 teenagers for a month so it's pretty wild. I live in a tourist area and my kid's friends and our relatives love to hang out at our place, especially in the summer. I have managed to stay away from flour and sugar but am still guessing on how much I am eating, rather than weighing. I know I am overeating on carbs, which I like to keep low but I am proud that I am at least I am back to guessing and writing that down. Once I fall off the wagon, it takes so long to get back on. I need to work on a quicker recovery. It has been at least a month since I have been recording accurately.

    I feel for you! I find getting back on the wagon a real struggle (takes me on average about 3 weeks). Any tips you can share?

    @Fivepts and @Perla4686 have either of you set a goal and reward for tracking? Let's say.....
    Goal: track no matter what for the rest of the month, every bite.
    Reward: a new lotion, candle, book to read....?! Something you want that's only a few dollars. But... Want to work for it and earn it. (Non-food)

    I'm happy with this weigh in. I'lltake the 1.4 lb. Loss. I had a lot of stress this week and definitely had some overeating spells. 2.3 lbs away from my vacation goal. Crunch time! Even if I don't do it, I'm happy with the 18.6 lbs I've lost to date. Thank you all for encouragement. Off to the final week!

    Daily Post (Sunday)

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Over, 1382/1360
    Day: A good day, ate a healthy breakfast instead of our usual Sunday morning where we indulge, so started off the day in a positive healthy way that set the tone for the rest of the day. Went to the mall to grab candles from Bath and Body Works since they were having a sale and ended up walking around Target with BF and spent more money than we intended...oops But it was nice to move my legs and stroll instead of hanging out on the couch all day. Part of me thought we would eat out tonight, but we cooked instead! So ended up doing ok on calories for a Sunday

    Monday morning weight has me motivated to kick butt this week and stay on track for a good loss! I have only lost weight over the weekend a couple of times, so weighing it at a net loss for the weekend is very exciting! Need to continue this habit of only spending one night a weekend indulging in alcohol and food!

    🙋🏽 🌅 😎 Good morning! I got a great start to my day with a morning workout, almost first thing! YES! Feels great. And the sun is shining, so that should help with a few walks today. :)

    @jupdyke~ Darn weather. But Yoga is good too. :) Yeah, you. Sounds like a great Sunday. And a great weigh-in! Woooohooooo! Hopefully, the weather cooperates for some good runs this last full week of school. You just might hit that goal!
    @Perla4686~ Hello there! Thanks for sharing. Can you make mini-meals and freeze the leftovers to have for lunch the next day? Add some frozen veggies to make it more healthful. Or is it not that much and you hate to see it go to waste? So if it’s the latter, it can go to waste or to the waist. You’re doing great with exercise! You’re right on the verge of a great breakthrough! I just know it. I can feel it.

    ❓IDEAS…. For what to do with leftovers? How about feeding teenagers and have “their food” around?

    @jwall309 ~ Oh fun! Trying on clothes to for an NSV. Exciting. I like doing that with the clothes in the back of my closet… lol. A good Saturday… yeah! :) Nice Sunday breakfast. My Sunday breakfast is “yummy” and healthy. Finding balance…. I treat myself to one slice of Cinnamon/Raisin French toast, veggie & egg scramble, and berries smashed to put on my french toast. Sometimes peanut butter on the french toast and/or some breakfast meat. I LOVE breakfast! Awesome Sunday!!! That is a very exciting way to start out the week. Let’s do this!!
    @skullsandskeletons~ A decent Sunday. I have an oval basket that has 6-8” sides on top of the fridge. I, of course, can reach it, but it’s out of sight. Whenever he brings home his carby snacks, I out them up there. :)
    @ajaia2001~ :( Hope you’re feeling better. You got this!
    @LuluLovinLife ~ A same is better than a gain. It’s too bad that she’s snotty. Chin up and do your best. Just for Today!
    @Hey3432 ~ I’m glad you remembered to post a weigh-in. I’d hate for you to be disqualified. You’re doing it!
    @Toyota100~ Yes! A Loss! So glad you had some time off and some R&R. Phew! Good meeting with your manager. Here is to a new week!
    @JammyPea~ Awesome loss! Good for you on getting in the exercise. Yes, those last minute outings can getcha. Hope you use MFP to log those restaurants or outings to be able to save the good choices for future last minute outings. :) You’re doing great!

    Okay.. to go along with our JUST FOR TODAY mantra this week. Here's something to help push you through!
    YOU CAN DO IT!!!

    y1dp8put8yx9.jpg

    And here is an article to help with hunger pangs, as most times it's mental, not hunger. Hope this helps. It's going to help me w/my after dinner bingers. https://www.gaiam.com/blogs/discover/10-ways-to-deal-with-hunger-pangs-while-dieting

    Let's have a great week team!
    Remember we are . . .
    pq2cpsctfl02.jpg
    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).

    Thanks for that! Love the bolded! Yes, I find it hard to throw away food, especially home-made, all that effort in the bin. If I'm honest with myself, I probably eat about double the portion I log at dinner. Need to change that mind-set. I hope you're right and I'll finally break out of this slum. I'm not sure....
    But thanks for the thumbs-up!
