    New here. So there is a lose 5lbs challenge this month? Looking for everyday motivation and accoutability

    Yeah its hopefully an ongoing challenge. So as soon as someone loses 5lbs it resets with everyones current weight. Weve had one winner so far so it reset a few days ago.
    I think the only rules were weighing a couple of times to make sure it was accurate.
    No extreme dieting or anything deemed unhealthy.
    No one with eating disorders because we dont want to encourage an illness
    And aslong as your weight shows -5lb then you win, doesnt matter if its up the next day because you cant help the daily fluctuations, just be as accurate as you can!

    You in? :)

    Absolutely :)

    Reasonable day diet wise yesterday. I did get bored and demotivated at work but managed to lift my mood by listening to music and did not buy food on the way home.

    I also managed not to buy wine on the way home despite really feeling like a glass of red wine. I did however have a couple of slimline G&Ts at home but I'm not going to beat myself up about that. I do want to get out of the habit of having alcohol on non-socialising work nights but I can't break every habit at once! I'll crack the binging first, then look at the alcohol. In the meantime, I'm going to moderate the alcohol, sticking to a specific number of units so that across the week as a whole I stay in guidelines.


    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :)
    - Stay within 50 of green >:)
    - Stick to food plan :/
    - 4+ bottles water :)
    - No alcohol :/

    - No eating whilst standing :)
    - Savour every bite :|
    - Talk back to sabotaging thoughts :)Stopped myself buying food and wine on my way home
    - Give myself credit! :|
    - Stay positive :)I felt pretty demotivated mid afternoon and wanted a sugar lift but I put on some music instead and just pushed through

    - 30+ minute lunch break :)
    - Finish work by 6.30 pm latest :)
    - Read something for job interview :)
    - Help boyfriend with settled status application :/He left work super late so we didn't have a lot of time. We've decided to do it on Thu/Fri when we have more time as it may take a little while. We really have to do it then though, don't want him to get kicked out of the country...
    - Pack bag for running :)
    - Gratitude journal :)
    - Lights off by 11 :/A bit later, was enjoying my book too much


    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to food plan
    - Be in the green
    - 5+ bottles water
    - Run to work

    - No eating whilst standing
    - Savour every bite
    - Talk back to sabotaging thoughts
    - Give myself credit!
    - Stay positive

    - 1h lunch break
    - Finish work at 6.30pm latest
    - Read stuff for job interview
    - Do finances
    - Gratitude journal
    - Lights off by 11

    JFT 9/4

    Drink water
    Stay within calories
    healthy choices
    Yoga/strength training


    Kids first day back today and so back to getting up super early. Having mixed emotions! Lunch with a dear friend today-sushi- and going to get my exercise in early today and then try to catch up around the house, it's a bit of a disaster. Work has slowed a bit so looking to do some marketing and some self care too.

    Hope all have a great day!

    Hi everyone! Even while I was MIA on vacation (really, just 10-day stretch when I was not at work ~ yippee), I was thinking of you. <3 Caught up on 155 JFT posts yesterday. @PackerFanInGB My deepest sympathy on the loss of your stepfather. Hugs to all! <3

    I had thought of logging some days during vacation, but just didn't. Also didn't eat on a regular schedule, or limit myself when out and about, or even at home on evenings when hubby was at work. So the scale number is still climbing... not the result I'm aiming for. :p

    @Bex953172 I would like to participate in the Lose 5# Challenge round 2. Maybe that will help me get back on track. My starting weight was 169# this morning ~ yikes!

    Since I'm out of habits badly, I am beginning JFT gently this week. ;)

    JFT W 9/4 ~ Happy Hump Day!
    1) Log all snacks & meals / 14c water
    2) FLOSS / retainers / bed & tv off 10:20

    Discard 5lb challenge Round 2.
    SW: 147.2
    CW: 145.6 (either yesterday was a false high or today is a false low. Not likely that I dropped 1.6lb in a day.)
    GW: 142

    My mom has been not talking to via test. Well actually I get one word answers. I know she is angry about something. I just don't feel like asking what it is. Then last night hubby gets all pissy that I'm not more physical (TMI?). I've tried to explain that the extra weight makes me feel way less than appealing. He doesn't get it. He thinks if he finds me sexy that that should be enough. Sigh... He is a great guy and I swear this is the only thing we ever argue about, but it's driving me buggy. Maybe I should just pencil him in at regular intervals and see if he notices the insincerity. These two things/people want to make me scream. Instead I'll try not to eat my feelings and just plan things around them.

    Anyway, I didn't work out this morning as I wanted to sleep in until 6:00, and I was a bit sore from CF yesterday. My hamstrings and inner thighs are a good sore, my elbow is a bad sore. I plan to go back tomorrow. If I just keep going back, I'm bound to see improvements. I doubt I'll ever be one of the bronze, tone, beautiful women, but maybe I can get to where my belly doesn't move independent from the rest of my body.

    Church tonight. It's the first night of the AWANA kids program that runs throughout the school year. We are kind of in charge of it again this year, by default. That's okay, we have lots of practice. The only bad side is I didn't know until late and so the supplies won't be in for club tonight. Oh well, we do have cupcakes and ice cream.

    Late to the game, JFT Wednesday
    - Up at 6:00 :( More like 7:00
    - Protein bar for breakfast :( maybe lunch
    - Setup samples :)
    - Go to lawyer about my dad's estate :)
    - Work stuff
    - Pick up V by 5:30 and feed her
    - Church by 6:30
    - Play with the kids
    - Home
    - Laundry
    - No alcohol
    - No ice cream (hubby made vanilla with blueberries)
    - Bible Reading
    - Bed/couch by 10:30

    Positive thought: You are the only one who controls your actions. You can create a safe place for yourself.

    I have a funny little story to share.
    My Granddaughter’s name is Michaela but I am the only one to call her that everyone else calls her Micki, she is 3 and is starting preschool 2 mornings a week starting tomorrow. Tonight my daughter and son in law had to go to a parent only meeting to sign documents and get a rundown of expectations. I kept the kids while they went to the meeting. My daughter, Lauryn, comes back and tells me about the meeting.

    Lauryn is telling me that for all of her artwork and stuff she will be writing Michaela not Micki. Lauryn feels it’s important that she know how to spell her name properly and this is a good time to learn.

    Michaela is listening to the conversation and out of the blue pipes up and says “my name Micki but not Mickey Mouse”.

    Ok day yesterday. I managed to avoid bingeing and drinking wine, but I did have more gin than I planned to. Again, I'm going to not beat myself up about it. Little steps at a time - I'm focusing on cracking the junk food and wine first, then the gin can follow! I do want to stay within my overall guidelines this week though so will aim not to have one today. I may have a nice bubble bath instead.


    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :)
    - Stick to food plan :/Had one extra yoghurt and some G&T
    - Be in the green :|Very slightly over. But I'd been hoping to have a deficit given I ran in the morning
    - 5+ bottles water :)
    - Run to work :)

    - No eating whilst standing :)
    - Savour every bite :|
    - Talk back to sabotaging thoughts :|
    - Give myself credit! :|
    - Stay positive :)

    - 1h lunch break :/45 mins and didn't really use it well
    - Finish work at 6.30pm latest :)
    - Read stuff for job interview :/Nope, as didn't get it done at lunch and after work I just want to flop
    - Do finances :)
    - Gratitude journal :)
    - Lights off by 11 :/Think it was a bit later, maybe quarter past. Very tired today


    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to food plan

    Ok day yesterday. I managed to avoid bingeing and drinking wine, but I did have more gin than I planned to. Again, I'm going to not beat myself up about it. Little steps at a time - I'm focusing on cracking the junk food and wine first, then the gin can follow! I do want to stay within my overall guidelines this week though so will aim not to have one today. I may have a nice bubble bath instead.


    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :)
    - Stick to food plan :/Had one extra yoghurt and some G&T
    - Be in the green :|Very slightly over. But I'd been hoping to have a deficit given I ran in the morning
    - 5+ bottles water :)
    - Run to work :)

    - No eating whilst standing :)
    - Savour every bite :|
    - Talk back to sabotaging thoughts :|
    - Give myself credit! :|
    - Stay positive :)

    - 1h lunch break :/45 mins and didn't really use it well
    - Finish work at 6.30pm latest :)
    - Read stuff for job interview :/Nope, as didn't get it done at lunch and after work I just want to flop
    - Do finances :)
    - Gratitude journal :)
    - Lights off by 11 :/Think it was a bit later, maybe quarter past. Very tired today
