I posted this last week, but it’s still fitting. 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.
Update: I had a pretty good week. I’ve been so busy at work that I’ve met my step goal multiple times this week (usually I’m too tired that I don’t make it). I also took my dog on a walk when I got home yesterday, which I haven’t done in quite awhile. I’ve been smarter about my food intake (for the most part) - I only eat half portions when I go out, and then that way I have lunch the next day, too! That’s not to say I don’t overindulge sometimes, cuz I definitely did this week....but I usually try to eat smaller portions early in the day when I know I’m gonna go out later.
I also am doing my reward system: since I’ve gotten down about 6 lbs from my overall starting weight I bought myself a small prize (less than $10 including s&h). When I get down even more I’ll get myself a bigger prize, and so on. I’m hoping this mentality and process keep up, and help me continue losing!
Happy losing everybody!!!

Sounds like you're in a a good head space just now and making some great choices, well done! Love the reward system, too! What did you treat yourself to?

Thanks! I’m super into travel, so as I lose more weight the prizes will get bigger and bigger. I started out with a portable cord storage pouch. I can put my phone charger, digital camera charger, headphones, small usb devices, etc in it. It’ll be much easier than having everything getting tangled or lost in my bags!

I had a rough week with everyone in the house being sick. I didn’t log in much or pay attention to what I ate. I’m hoping this is just waterweight and I’ll be back down by next week.

Feel better!!

You're getting there! Now keep at it!

There are no rules. I am hoping that you will reach out to one another on here by commenting on each others' posts. Then when the other hasn't been posting to find out what has happened to your buddy. And by your accountability to each other in our team thread, we will be inspired and encouraged by your support. I randomly assigned by drawing names.

If you need help navigating MFP, let me know. I'll do my best.

LET'S DO THIS!!!
Remember we are . . .

The three elements of what it takes to be successful at weight-loss and keeping it off are:
Run -keep moving
Track -know what you’re eating/ drinking
Mind -train your brain to be positive about yourself and okay with change(s).

Each week you weigh in on your chosen weigh-in day. Weigh-ins close at 11:59 pm EST on Saturdays. Should you miss the deadline, your weight will be marked as a zero loss. Challengers who miss two consecutive weigh-ins are disqualified for the remainder of the month. Please be respectful of your team - they are counting on your contribution to the team's success.

We might be able to get your weight on the spreadsheet before weekly tallies are completed, but no guarantees. Please hurry. I will scroll through again to do a double-check.


Weigh-Ins.[/i/] Weeks begin on Sunday and run until the following Saturday. Week #1 in Super September team members that still need to weigh-in:
@LuluLovinLife... Sun
@Klilev … Mon
@Melonpaul . . . Mon
@rlidl57 . . . Mon

One thing I did well: Maintained my commitment to this team and challenge, even as little as it has been. I am still here.
One thing to improve: Make the start of my day FOR ME! Set the timer and do what I need to for MY health!

@jupdyke~ One week of enjoyment, now let the shred begin!! 👊🏽 8 weeks… that’s awesome! Eager to hear about the process and see your progress. Go Team Jen!! 💪
@red1185~ Great loss!! 👏🏽 Excellent on resetting your attitude. Sometimes that needs to be done daily, right!? The choices you made last week are great for developing wonderful healthy habits towards a lifetime journey of keeping the weight off. Yeah!!!! Love. Love. Love. the reward system. Keep it going!! You’ve got this!!
@wander216~ Yeah for the loss. Yes, you can. Keep it going.
@goodreadsgal~ Friday!! You did it... Logged and exercised. Way to be honest with yourself. That’s a pretty good day. Especially for a Friday… right!?
@kilobykilo~ Good Saturday…. Yeah! LOVE salads! Hope the sheets helped you get some peaceful and cozy 🛌💤😴. How did Sunday morning exercise go for you? What did you do?
@jmacaroni~ I appreciate your honesty and that you are still sticking around with us. You could've said, “Heck with it, I’m not posting.” 👍🏽 I hope everyone feels better and that you can get back to taking care of yourself. You will do it! You can!!
@Pearl4686~ I think we make a great team. You’re on when I’m not and vice versa. You can do it. Make a goal for yourself and reward for having 4 of 7 days without crashes! I’m getting myself mentally ready for something similar. Let’s do this!!
@DDay2020~ Slay-it on Saturday! 👍🏽 Well done.
@ajaia2001~ whoa!! That’s a lot of exercises. 👏🏽 Awesome!!! Have you ever exercised prior to eating? I know at one point in my weight loss journey, that helped my appetite. Maybe in a few weeks switch it up. See what works for you best.
@skullsandskeletons~ Good job on tracking and being under! 4 cups is more than 3 and you’re slowly starting to maintain that 4. Yeah!
@DogMom919~ Wonderful Saturday of tracking, being under… and a trip to the Farmer’s Market. 👍🏽 I hope you got some fresh good foods. I’ve been blessed this year from friends giving us items from their gardens.
