Ahhhhhh holiday over the water is maybe why it's so quiet in here?!
Hope you all had lovely labor days, and, I'm with @Beka3695 , if holidays mean over indulging for you, cool. Just draw the line now the weekend is done!
Still haven't managed a day where I 100% logged but hoping today is that day and I'll actually close my diary!
I was exhausted when I got in from qorm last night and get the feeling this is going to be a lonnnnnnggggg week and exercise is gonna be tough to motivate myself to do while I get back in the swing of work..... but hoping for a little bit if walking/jogging this eve!
Have a great week everyone!2 -

Disappointed with scale BUT when I put my bra on this morning I naturally went to the second set of hooks. Before I’d been struggling on the end hook and hoping it didn’t break

@kilobykilo Attack of the killer daschund on the way home last night sent me into a metal barrier. If anyone at work asks it was the Hound of the Baskervilles!2 -

Hi all!
My name is Megan, and I live with my boyfriend of 2.5 years and my pup Lilly. I love to ride horses, and spend a lot of time reading, binging Netflix, and playing board games with friends. My weight loss goal is a bit superficial, I just want to be super fit and HOT.
Stats:
Age: 26
Starting Weight: 160
Current Weight: 136
Goal Weight: 125
I usually just count calories and weigh in on Fridays, but It’s a new month and a new start for me.
I am going to try a new method of measuring my weight loss. I am going to weigh myself every day, and then average the weights for the full week. I will use that averaged number as my official weigh in number on Friday.
I am also challenging myself to 10 minutes of fitness every day. A Day – Abs, B Day – Legs, and C Day – Yoga/Stretch. I know 10 minutes is not much, but I think it is where I am at for this month.
Good luck everyone, let’s smash the competition!

I logged most faithfully every day which is huge for me...more so than the loss. I allowed myself not to on 1 day. The not right now has been a winner to keeping me from caving to cravings!!Thank you all for your support and encouragement!6 -

Hey everyone, I'm still here lol... the long weekend did its damage, so I am gonna delay my weigh in til maybe Friday in hopes of getting the water retention down. Let's just say bbq food and cals was somewhat out of control. I feel ridiculous because it's a bad start to the month this way. But on the other hand, I am motivated to at least lose a few pounds this month.
I have a question - when we weigh in, do we post it in this group chat?4 -

Sigh - what was I thinking? I bought 2 spaghetti deli meals at the grocery store. I sat down to eat half of the 1st spaghetti meal, which is supposed to feed 2 people, and I ate the entire thing without really thinking about it. There went tomorrow's lunch.
It reminded me of my old eating out habits. First, I ate half my meal, planning to take home the rest. Then I nibble a bit more, but still enough to take home. Then a bit more, then realize it won't make another meal, so I finish it off and am miserable.
For the first time in months, I feel stuffed, and realize I do not like that feeling. Full feels good, stuffed does not. I know it wasn't a huge amount of extra calories, but remember this is what got me to where I am (okay, where I was). I used to eat the 2-serving size in one sitting with some regularity. How quickly I can snap back into old behaviors.
But, I will remind myself that this is the 1st time in several months that I really overate by a lot and stuffed myself. Pick myself up, dust myself off, and move on.
And a learning moment. 1. Next time, don't eat out of the heat-and-serve tray - put 1/2 on a plate. 2. This was the first time in who knows how long when I sat and ate while working on the computer. Lesson to self - don't do that!!5 -
Sunday and Monday didn’t go as planned for my goals. But, I stopped my self from binging Sunday night before major damage was done. I did not get my 8000 steps yesterday and I blame it on my hubby. Just kidding. I was lazy. Today went really well. I am still decluttering my apartment. I have been at it for a week. Lots of trips to the garbage bin. Those steps add up. I hope I am burning calories doing this because I am sure working up a sweat.
@ShowKitten congrats on the loss and NSV!
@kilobykilo after my month away in June it took me awhile to get into a routine. You will get there.
@TheMrWobbly ouch on the bicycle tire.
@iamworthy14 way to go on the loss and logging in daily. Logging daily really helps.
@Pamela_Sue it is great that you can see the steps to preventing this again. I am bad for reading when I am eating. One thing I used to do when reading was read a page then have a few bites. Thanks for reminding me of this way of slowing down my eating.6 -

First day of C25K running program. It didn't kill me. In fact, it was easier than I remember from last time, and it underscored how much a mindgame some of this is.
2011 was the first time I did the C25K program, and I'd never run in my life. I had decades of experience believing that I am not a sporty person, I don't have a body built for running, and that I was just no good at it - so the first weeks of the C25K program - especially the first day - I had that negative voice in my head criticising me for being crap, I was hyper-aware that my face was red, I was sweating and puffing , fat and out of shape, I was worried what people thought when they saw me like that. That voice kept telling me to give up, that it was too hard, that I was useless, looked stupid, and would never be any good at this. And I had to work really hard to assert my positive voice to rise above my negative voice, to tell myself to keep going, that it wouldn't be much longer, that I just had to trust in the program, etc. It was a real battle within me.
This time round, there is no battle. I know the running program works, I know I can do it, I've done it before, I just have to put the effort in. Sure I still get hot and bothered doing it, I'm not fit, but I will be by the time I finish the program in 9 weeks.4 -
