    Hi, @keyssell! Welcome!

    All you need to do is post your weekly or monthly goals for September. I like to check in once or twice a week with updates about how I'm doing or anything I'm struggling with.

    You can include your weight or not, it's up to you. This group is to give yourself accountability and encourage others! 💜💜💜

    Oh do I need help staying motivated and support in dealing with the day-to-day struggles. I cope with stress/anger by eating! :😢 as a mom of two rambunctious kiddos and wife to an incredibly skinny man who sneezes and loses weight, I need to find my tribe!

    Thanks @IsETHome and @lilann1961 for the perspective. I know you're both right, and it was homemade and delicious, and I only had one when once upon a time I would have had four. And it fit into my calories so no harm done. I just get annoyed when I set myself mini-goals and then forget immediately! However, I am pleased with my weightloss this week so am doing something right.

    @orangequilt I know what you mean! I am British but live in Romania, and the temptation when you can buy walkers, cadbury's or sweets is so tempting. Well done for not caving in, though!

    Anyway, to day is my check-in day, so:
    SW:217.8
    Start of Sep weight: 210.6
    CW:207.6
    September goal: lose 12 lb
    Lost: 3lb

    My goals last week:
    1. Run at least 5 times (ran six times, 36.8km in total)
    2. Eat under 2000 calories per day (more or less. went over yesterday slightly I think, but the average was definitely under so I am pleased with that).
    3. Avoid sweets, cakes and biscuits six days of the week (hahahahahhaa no. Did this three times I think. One to roll over to next week).
    4. Drink alcohol a maximum of twice (done. Three wines on sunday, four wines last night).

    So my goals this week will be:
    1. Run at least 5 times, want to keep up the habit.
    2. avoid sweets, cakes and biscuits 5 times (hopefully more realistic)
    3. drink alcohol a maximum of twice
    4. Do yoga twice

    Good luck this week everybody!

    @beedesro, Congratulations for being here. Be proud of the courage you have to make yourself vulnerable and seek support. You are welcome to add me as a friend. I have also been in your shoes, both with depression and going through a season of not caring where I gained 50 pounds in one year. I'm back at it baby and it feels really good. There is something comforting in logging and seeing the results. You can get through this and you will be so much stronger when you do!

    Had a brownie for lunch because it was a colleague's birthday so he bought them in. Really kind but I find I get derailed so often by friends and colleagues. I know it's my fault and I should say no, so tempting though! Anyone got any good willpower tips?!

    I'll indulge in homemade treats or treats from a great bakery. You have to make sure the treat is worth the calories. When it is, I'll cut myself off a small portion and then I log it to the very best of my abilities. That way you don't insult someone, you don't feel left out and you don't feel deprived. Sometimes depriving ourselves results in us quitting all together. And that would be so much worse for your goals than having a 100 calorie brownie bite.

    @RavenStCloud that's a good idea, I might go with that as well.
    I had a cheat weekend, but all good, I feel good about it and well get back on the wagon tomorrow.
    Good luck everyone!

    Welcome to the tribe!! I am so guilty of Stress Eating too... I do it while working then at home stressed with the kids (hubby works nights so I am flying solo). My hubby has always been a lean athlete, so I used to joke that we made a perfect "10". With our profiles, he looked like a lean "1" and I looked like a round "0". :D

    Here at home i have only 1 person doing the getting healthy/losing weight thing and she is aaaaalways busy. Im looking for everyday support. Hoping i can find it here. Its so hard. I need someone or something to hold me accountable.
    CW-244 (the most ive weighed even during both pregnancies)
    GW-234 for this month

    Accountability and discipline come from within. We have to dig deep to access it. We have to really be ready for this journey to a healthier lifestyle.

    We can support and motivate you. 😀

    @Chibilove - I understand needing support. It is SO hard, especially when you are doing it alone. Just focus on each day. Remember to love yourself enough to take care of your body each and every day.

    @LyndaBSS - I love your statement!! Discipline does come from within, you have to dig deep. I feel like I've stopped and started so many times before, I realize now it has to be a life-long journey to a healthier lifestyle <3
