@Jwall309~ I get the same way when I’m hot and it’s hot and humid. Add a hot flash in the mix … NOT fun! Not too bad for not planning and having pizza. Good job on weighing it out!! A key for long-term maintenance success… moderation.
@JamieD328~ Wooooohooooooo!! Nice loss! One more week in July; let’s push hard for another loss!! Let’s do it together. We can do it! Stay on track at least 5x this week and exercise 2-3 times, too. Too bad rolling coin didn’t count as exercise… lol.
But you got in some swimming… yeah! Good day on tracking and being under.
@Perla4686~ Yeah… You like veggies. Isn’t that amazing what we can learn to like and how we can accept change? Awesome!! Good job on pizza control! 👍🏽 When good food goes in, the cravings are less. Yes!! What a tremendous Thursday for you. Maybe no exercise, but those realizations are tremendous. You’re doing it! AND the scales are showing it! It’s so important to focus on lifestyle and the rest will fall into place, or should I say... Fall OFF our place! Hahaha Good job on the loss. Keep it going! 👏🏽
@ajaia2001~ Good job on getting in your bootcamp hour!! 👍🏽 Hope you had a relaxing night.
@skullsandskeletons~ Tremendous Thursday! You’re doing great at being consistent and making sure you stay on track and post every day! 👏🏽
@tbchitwood76~ Darn. But… you’re still at an overall loss for July. Keep working hard that will be back off in no time! Great job on your exercise!!! 👏🏽 Yep... Eating past 7 pm can be tough. Try drinking a room temperature glass of water before dinner. That is supposed to help you feel full when you eat. That might help with both water intake and not eating past 7 pm.
@Fivepts~ woooohoooo! Nice loss. 👏🏽 And we match! Lol I’m glad there is an explanation, it was bizarre that we didn’t match. It’s all good. I’m happy for you!! You’re doing it!

I plan these picture posts weeks in advance. So I don't know what is coming next until the day I post it. It's true.
So I'm glad this was today's post. I needed this reminder today. As I planned my fuel, I noticed that the last couple of days I've had too many starchy foods (high sodium, too.) So more fruit/fiber it is!! But, it being it a "cycle" week maybe it was okay, too. I didn't binge this week as I have in the past.
It's all still a big learning curve to make this MY LIFELONG JOURNEY... NEW LIFESTYLE.0 -

I took the power away from the leftover pizza. Watching a movie w/hubby. He binged. I logged a slice, then put my phone down. I told myself if I want it in 15 minutes, I could have it. I then considered that popcorn was a better choice. I sat back grabbed hubbys hand. I had neither. WHOA!!! 1 -

I was having the munchies this afternoon and drank some water which helped! I ended up having a 100 calorie bag of popcorn which kept me satisfied. Yay small victories!1 -

I'm so glad you posted. Stayed the same for 2 weeks... not too shabby. Did you need to change weigh-in day of the week? I think it was you that said you had two groups and you forget to post on one or the other. This group is flexible, we can change your weigh-in day. Consider it for August.
One week left in July make it a good one!! 0 -
Good Morning! 👋 It looks we received some rain, as they promised a storm and then cooler temps. We shall see. I have enough exercise routines to do either indoors/outdoors. But try to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible.
@Perla4686~ Thanks! I will do just that, keep my chin up, head held high, and stay committed to my journey and this team!
@skullsandskeletons ~ Fantastic Friday! Yes.. hip hip hooray for small victories!
I’m excited about our journey, together. I look forward to conquering the weight loss challenge and moving to maintenance. But along the way during the weight loss leg of this journey, I’m learning about my issues and weaknesses then preparing strategies to find more strengths. As more strengths are found, more habits are created, and the stronger my determination becomes. Motivation is gone… as it’s now becoming (slowly) a way of life. Remember motivation is that initial feeling to get you started. You need to figure out they real WHY that is going to keep you on track every day.

Haha should have! No but last Saturday I got in about 25,000 steps walking from the hotel we stayed at to the boardwalk (1 mile), then about a mile + on the boardwalk, and then another mile back to the hotel! Plus a 2 mile walk/run that morning before we left for the shore. Idk if I’ve ever done that many steps before!1 -
Weigh in Saturday
Week 3
Pew 155

Really need to get my head back into the game.
Keeping track on here makes me take a 2nd look at myself.
I need to make a little more effort.1 -
Ugh, rewarded myself with biscuits after my Friday weigh-in (why oh why?) and continued binging on more junk all day Friday and Saturday. Why do I keep doing this? Who was I kidding thinking my habits have changed?1

@wander216 ~ exactly!! That's why you joined this challenge. To challenge yourself, work in tracking, and being accountable. You said it.. It takes effort. We don't need perfection, we're not perfect. Just effort.
@Perla4686 ~ you are changing your habits, slowly. You are here telling us, which means you will get back on track. You need a strategy for eating biscuits. Put it in your MFP first, and plan your day out. Know what your meals are first before grabbing, eating, then logging. You'll figure what works best for you. We didn't change over night, so don't expect change over night.

Yeah!! (No binges, less mood swings) The last few weeks I have had a different eating plan for the weekends, than the weekdays. During the week I eat often, every 3 hours small balanced meals or snacks. Then on the weekends, I have been waiting until 4 hours and have 3 larger meals and one snack at what would normally be dinner time. That way I’m not eating popcorn after “dinner hour” and setting off “binge” triggers. That seems to be working quite well so far. So going to remember this and do my best to stick with it. I allow extra calories on Sundays (after weigh-in, of course. LOL)
Trying to find the right plan that I will be able to stick with for life. As this is my new healthy LIFESTYLE, NOT A DIET!!
W2 D7 (14) of DO-IT attitude. DONE.

Tracked: yes
Calories: a bit over, but not too bad.
Exercise: no, rest day
It was a scorcher today. We had a great time floating around in the pool. Had a few logged drinks tonight, but I'm proud I didn't snack my head off like I usually do.

Calories on goal
Exersize, not really just a short walk with dogs to the river0 -
@skullsandskeletons~ Wooohoooooo! Another disciplined day. Good for you. 👍🏽
@Jupdyke~ Yes it sure was hot here, too. And then the rains came. A little more tolerable now. Good job on reigning in the snacks and logging the drinks! 👍🏽 Sounds like a good day in the pool.
@wander216~ Super Saturday! A short walk moves the muscles and gets the blood flowing; better than sitting. And aaaaaahhhh I bet the river was enjoyable.

One thing I did well: Truly embracing that this is a lifestyle change and thinking about the overall prize- a healthier me. I’ve had good self-talks at night to not binge and on weekends adapted a different eating plan than weekdays to accommodate events, etc.
One thing to improve: Still working on more resistance workouts. I get in at least one good full-body day and one arm day. But need to be more consistent and push just a little more.

One thing I did well: I stayed under my calories!
One thing to improve: I am still not getting enough water and need to try harder.
Well, I was kind of hoping for 2 pound loss this week due to my calculations, but I will not complain about losing 1 pound! A loss is a victory. My overall loss this month was 5 pounds. Not too shabby! I am looking forward to taking another 5 (or more) off next month!0 -
