@Perla4686 ~ same for me. I wish you were my neighbor so we could help make meals, walk, talk, etc. Sit outside and scream together. But, I get up every day and say today! Today I am getting back on track. And do my best to focus on that. Focus on ONE thing that I know I can do. Drink my water that's the easiest and eat a healthy breakfast.

Then I pack or fix a couple of good healthy snacks, then I walk. I figure if I keep doing that much, then one day I'll swing myself back around to being the healthier version of me.

We need to remember that THIS IS NOT OVER. This is a journey. We're in this together. I'm sorry I haven't been around much. I'm readjusting my schedule to make that happen... I want to be here with RTM more. I need this group and want to be healthier.

My desire and determination is MORE than the love of food and being mindless about food.

I’ve hit the reset button, and I’m starting over. I took today to remind myself that a journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step, and I took that step this morning. I took my dog on a long walk. I have a long way to go, with an overall goal of at least 35 lbs gone, but I’m tired of feeling down on myself for losing my mojo that I’m determined I’ll re-find it, and get back in gear. A new week = a fresh start.

Hi everybody! I’ve decided to basically do a reset. I’m going to view my setback as a weightloss restart. It sucks, but my weight gain is what it is. I started at the very, very beginning at 172, and I’m currently sitting at 170. I’m frustrated, but I’m also trying to re-find my motivation. I’ll get there. I told myself I have a prize to win - I love to travel, so with each 2 lb loss (I know, it’s a small amount, but baby steps, right?), I’m going to buy something travel related. Hopefully eventually leading to a nice long trip when I reach my overall weightloss goal of nearly 40 lbs.
Here’s to finding motivation, weightloss, and travel!! Cheers!

I love to travel too! Thinking of booking a trip to Cancun at the end of this journey. Where might you go? Another fun goal gift will be some new clothes! Can’t wait to be a size 12 again bc all my cutest clothes are a size 12.

Good morning! I hear Cancun is amazing!!
It’s funny that you mention buying new clothes because that’s the one thing I rarely ever buy! I buy all the supplies, but it would be super fun to get a new wardrobe out of it! Clothes didn’t even cross my mind lol Maybe with each few pounds I’ll buy a cute top or something....good idea!

I have to re-update this! That current weight is not accurate.

Again, still showing an overall loss from the very, very, very beginning - but definitely hitting that reset button!!!

Thanks for all your lovely responses! I guess I'm not alone in this and it feels a little better to know the struggle is shared!
So I'm going to try to use this post as a confession to maybe help me stick to my goals. We had a big family get-together BBQ lunch today and I really just enjoyed the food without too much thought. I ate way too much and now feel bloated and not great. So I'm going to try to skip supper (to be fair lunch was a whole afternoon affair) and see if I can go to bed with no more food.
I'll let you know how that went tomorrow. Wish me luck.

One thing I did well: ugh
One thing to improve: I did not have a great week. Work was brutal, I worked a million hours and ended up binging on junk in the evenings. I feel gross and bloated and next week is likely going to be just as bad.

Daily post: Sunday, August 25
Tracked: yes
Calories: under
Exercise: no, but only because I did something to my lower back, so took a rest day.

I had a major chill day. School starts back up this week for teachers on Thursday, so sucking up my last few days of relaxation before the stress begins. Tomorrow is weigh in day. My eating has not been stellar, but my workouts have. We shall see how that pans out. Fingers crossed.

Track: better than I have been
Calories: not sure
Exercise 20+mins: 00min
12+ Water: 💧x 10
Used goal app to track my Healthy Habits: nope.
I chose ME today!! - Yes, enough to not eat after dinner and to not eat after I went to bed.

It wasn't a pretty day, but at least I'm finally here again posting and being honest with myself. Oh, which also means I need to report my weigh-in too. I weighed yesterday, just didn't report it. I had a struggle of a day of trying to please everyone.... hubby wanted me to help him around the exterior of the house, mom wanted me, and I wanted none of it. UGH!

But, I did manage to rearrange my schedule to be here every morning bright and early. With a timer for 30 minutes. AND that is after I have already spent 20 minutes on the bike, while reading affirmations and meal planning and logging it.

So...my week is off to a better start.


REMINDER.... this is the last week of August. We are in week #5 of August. I hope you all want to roll over to September and kick-off our fall with some losses!
