As predicted, the saturday wedding meant I went way over on calories and no exercise but I did track as best I could. Sunday I managed to track, exercise and remain under, despite going to a family celebration. Now is a new week with no oncalls and no parties so I hope to be good. With that said, I made poor choices with many of my calories today but I ran 5k and later walked 5k to rectify the situation. I managed to track too.
Weight last week: 157
Weight this week: 156
Loss: 1ib
I want to be out of the 150s by end of August so I need to work really hard over the next few weeks. I hope to get lots of runs in and I'm beginning to really push myself on my speed to increase the calorie burn. I'm actually amazed at myself as I started out run-walking less than three months ago and can now do 5k quite comfortably, hence making myself run faster. The upshot is that not only have I lost some weight, I actually feel fitter than I have in a very long time. Even the slim pre-cancer version of me wasn't particularly fit and certainly couldn't run. It's amazing what can be achieved with perserverance. And even though my weight loss has slowed, I remind myself that my body is significantly healthier cxx3 -

@HASWLRS I’m going to have to pull out from the competition this month and future months indefinitely. Though I found this tool to be incredibly useful and great when I had the proper motivation, I’m just haven’t had it the last few months.
Thank you to everyone that has been in this group for almost a year now... to those recently joined or new this month— good luck on your journey!
You are in an awesome group! 3 -

3lbs down, I feel like this is my pattern now, up one week and down the next! hahah
@Tracie_Lord, as long as the "ups" are smaller than the "downs", then you will still be in a downward trend! Very nice loss this week, and I hope you are able to break your pattern!!
Thanks!
I am actually not sure I will, I think my body is happy where it is
My bmi is 23-24 dependant when I weigh
I won't stop but I fear I may never get to the 165 I wanted

I have jeans ranging in sizes from 12-24 bc the last few years I've ranged from those sizes. The bigger jeans stay in a drawer and the smaller ones are put away in the closet. I never wear jeans bc they are soooo very uncomfortable. Yesterday I trieda pair on and they for prefect. Size 18. So I tried all the ones in the drawer on. The biggest were to big. The 18-20 fit loose. For me loose is perfect. I even fit the 16 well enough to wear a day if I wanted to. I'm a 90's kid and like my jeans bigger so I'll wait tho lol. Sorry for the long book, I'm just excited. Feel like I got new wardrobe it's been so long since I wore this stuff. Next goal is make those to big and wear the stuff put away in the closet.4

2x no
Sunday no
Monday no
Another restart... I think I should. I don't know what has happened to my will power over food. Stress from work, lack of sleep and other factors will always be an issue but I need to recommit myself to healthier eating habits. True I am more active then I have ever been but my diet needs to get back on track. I'm promising myself that today and tomorrow and for the rest of the month. I am not looking for a monday, beginning of a new month or the day after weigh ins... I am looking at now because tomorrow is always the excuse but today is the action2 -

I feel like those are words from my mouth! I feel the exact same I’ve been struggling the past few days with my food choices and I’m trying not to beat myself up and fly off the wagon. I’m with you and recommitting to better choices 👍🏻

@abowersgirl & @Ar_cervantes
Just what I needed to hear this morning. After another day of not quite getting back on track after vacation I debating with myself that I could either start today or wait until Monday like I’ve always done in the past. Problem is that Monday might roll around and I’ll make more excuses. Nothing like today to get back on track and start working hard toward my goal.3 -

I can do better this month is a new month. Time to get my head in the game. I'm sick of this yo-yo number
@abowersgirl, it's only a little more than a pound and you are still in the 30's, so you are still very much in the game! You just need to tell your head that, like you said!0 -
