    It was been a long week. have been able to post much just a quick look everyday. I got more data on my phone so i can be more active in the group. It has been a learning crub the last couple of week since I have been back to work but with good meal planning it has been going good. I plan my day so I can get in at least 30 minutes of walking and some body wieght exercising. No loss this week but I am happy with that. Tomorrow is a day for cooking and getting meals ready and frozen for next week.

    You are doing an awesome job transitioning back to work!

    Saturday Check in
    Calories: under
    water: over
    exercise: nothing

    I woke up with a cold!! :s:'( I so don't have time for this right now and I'm praying it quickly passes and that my hubby doesn't come down with it. At least I'm on top of all the packing I need to get done so I could afford to take today off and rest.

    I canceled my WW membership this afternoon. I have been thinking about it for a long time now. I haven't been tracking points for months since I started intermittent fasting and low carb eating. I was only going because I felt that I needed the scale accountability. But I don't. I have this group to help me with accountability and support. :)

    Feel better soon!

    Sunday

    Welcome to Sunday and the end to the week!

    I've been fluctuating weight. But this before September starts I will stick to eating better food choices.

    This week I better because of not snacking between meals.
    Nice loss!

    Sunday check-in:
    Calories: under
    Plan: on point
    Exercise: did well this weekend - keep that up
    Water: 8 and happy for it

    Next Day Goals
    Food: be mindful of nutrition and food quality
    Exercise: a walk during work (and before if I can get the laziness going) and this goes for all week!
    Goals or Improvements for tomorrow: remember the good, be the good and encourage others on their journey


    Old Lady Crap is getting better, I took a 2 mile walk today and although I had a moment or two during the day wondering as to the smarts (or not) of that choice, it turned out well. It's important to move your body - sometimes even more so when there is pain - within reason, of course.

    I'm coming to another extreme week - seems like I don't do anything in the other direction. Mon-Wed something after work everyday and Thursday traveling out of town. The holiday weekend with one of the boys and his wife visiting at the coast so that will be a lot of fun. Me and Frank - 5 boys between us; 2 wives, a fiance, a granddaughter and various roommates make for some interesting times. Always lovely when we can catch them without competition. =>

    Have a good week all - many of us are out here in web land rooting for your successes, believing in your ability to continue moving along and always, always wishing you well.

    I love reading your posts. Thanks for the wishes of a good week!

    Hey, all!! Just in a from a long and lovely trip to see my daughter and friends....it is good to be home. And it feels good to have ‘kitchen control’ and to step back into some kind of routine. Some things to add to the list of “Things I Learned On My Summer Vacation”:

    1. Lasagna tastes JUST as good as I remembered.... (oh, boy...)
    2. Sweet potatoes really are sweet!!!!! (In so many ways!)
    3. Pinot noir makes it more likely that I’ll indulge in Numbers 1 and 2..... (oh, dear.)

    So now that that’s behind us, off I go happily fasting, calorie and carb controlling and, logging on MFP. Will weigh in for Week 4 on Thursday morning (as scheduled) and visit again. Crossing fingers 🙏.....

    Cheers!!!

    Haha! Thanks for the chuckle especially #3 making 1 and 2 worse!

    Up a little this week. My pants are fitting better but my weight is not inching down. I have been struggling with this time of year and all the activities which will slow down in a couple of weeks. I just need to be more consistent and watch my portions.

    On a good note, I have been moving a lot more and I am working on the mental part of losing weight.

    Wednesday check-in
    Calories: under
    Exercise: recumbent bike, weights, elliptical

    Finally stayed on the elliptical for half an hour. I was doing an hour before and during vacation but have had trouble with it since getting back. I'm ok with 30 minutes for now, I still use the recumbent bike daily. I haven't been eating much so I need to tweak my food. I eat a heavy vegetable diet so it feels like I'm eating a lot but I've gotten too good at cutting back calories. I'm usually not hungry after cardio for some reason and I've been eating afterward. School started Monday. Have an excellent day everyone!

    Thank you! Think this is exactly what I need. Exercise is not a problem, doing plenty of that, but controlling what I eat has been, of late. I think this accountability is just the ticket. Looking forward to it. :)

    I am SO happy right now. Weight loss for the month of August is quite small; but, in the setting of an extended vacation with so many challenges, well, I’ll take it! Fabulous (one)-forties, here I come!!!

    Awesome loss!

    @Hollis100 and @SarahGilfach - 👋👋 Hi! Welcome to the Slimpossibles team! We are delighted you have joined us! This has been a super fun and helpful group for me. I hope it is helpful for you, too, as you work on your health and fitness goals!

    @leonadixon - You don't need to do anything! Your last August weigh-in will serve as your starting weight for the new month! The organizers have been great about making this as easy as possible. 👍

    @Katmary71 - Great check-in! Another good day for you! 😊

    @KMD1214 - ✨✨ Brilliant loss! So smart to put the number in context for yourself. And as you say -- Fab 140s, here you come!

    @mrmcgrath - I love that meal planning -- having dinner in the Crockpot to make time to fit in the Stair Machine! 👍👍

    @digger61 - Another great day! You have been the King of Consistency of late, despite the big schedule change! 👑😉 😊

    @bethanie0825 - Great weigh-in, then, since this is TOM week! ✨ 🌟 😊

    @fleetwood1 - Up 1 lb isn't much. Your plan of moving more and watching portions (are you measuring & logging?) sounds perfect. You got this! 😎👍

    Exericse: nothing

    I was planning on getting on the treadmill today but ended up staying late at work and then not feeling like it once I got home. I have got to get back to my workouts!!

    What do we think about having a step challenge next month for our group? Those always helped me when we did them. I can't take on keeping track since I'm moving but I sure can help by being a cheerleading motivator! B):)

    Friday and a long weekend here. Planning on going to the mountains for the weekend depends on what my wife wants to do. Got a cooler that plugs in to my lighter plug so I now have enough food to last me all week. Less tempted to buy bad food in the store then. Have a great day
