Only 11.4lbs away from my first big goal I gave myself in the beginning to lose by Christmas. I guess painting a shed gave me more exercise than I realized lol. So glad to finally be out of 230's 🖤
That is amazing!1 -
Question of the week:
I am guilty of choosing unhealthy snacks in the evening. Chips, cookies, chocolates. Several years ago, when I had my first go at losing weight successfully, I would have a bowl of popcorn between dinner and bedtime. I would shake on some ranch popcorn seasoning that you can find in the popcorn aisle. It was actually more satisfying than a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.
I am seeing other very tasty, healthier ideas from you guys.1 -
I would like to jump in and say wonderful losses so far this week everyone! It's very motivating to see everyone working so hard!
@cossmoss15 and @HASWLRS I have your steps/water for Tuesday!
@ForLangston I will make the sheet editable by others once we get through at least the week and I know that everything has the right values/formulas.0 -

Water: 120oz
I made an amazing dish for dinner tonight, Garlic Tomato Basil Chicken. I only managed to eat half because I started to choke on rice(reason why I can't listen to anything funny while I eat) and it turned into a few minutes of me thinking I was going to pass out or worse, because I couldn't catch my breath/kept choking. It was horrifying, it scared my boyfriend as he tried to help me. But I'm OK now, but my throat hurts and now I have a massive headache, so I skipped the dog walk tonight. I did get plenty of playtime in with them though, so they're asleep now.
I have decided that my goal for a month from now is to just simply be at 196.0lb(I'll take 199), and see Onederland. This is my goal for my birthday(October 18th). I would love to see 196 because it means I will hit the 50lbs mark, and I will drop a BMI class. I think I can get there, I just have to remain focused!
Off to bed in a few minutes after I make my lunch for tomorrow!3 -

Weigh in day : Wednesday
Starting: 185.6
Week 1: 183.9
Week 2: 183.6
Week 3: 183.2
Its coming off painfully slow, but at least in the right direction. I know this would have been better if I had made better choices over the weekend. So I'm going to try harder this weekend to make those better choices.
Coming off painfully slow is much better than weight coming on.

Tuesday, September 17th
logged food: yes
under: yes. I used practically all of my exercise calories, according to Fitbit, and I slept through the night. I ate a bigger dinner, that put me over, so I just walked some more to get enough calories for a sugar free Jello pudding, because I was wanting something sweet, and chocolate!! I ate 1592 calories worth, and I just have to accept that that number is not too high, because taken out of context, it does seem high to me. Before, when I was successful on MFP, I didn't have my Fitbit linked to my account, so exercise calories were based on purposeful exercise that I entered myself from the data base. I definitely stayed closer to the 1200 mark and I lost probably two pounds a week, but for some reason, the waking up hungry didn't affect me then. I guess now that I am older....sigh. And like Erik suggested with intermittent fasting, the body will eventually get used to it in time. Maybe I just need to be patient and accept a slower rate of loss at the beginning.
erercise: yes, walking
steps: 10,740
water: 11 cups
(Already entered on the form, Christine.)
@HASWLRS I’ve noticed a difference too now that I’m older. When I lost weight in my 20’s it seemed so much easier and quicker, but now in my late 40’s I have to work harder and, I think, change the foods that I eat in order to still be satisfied, but be under. It’s definitely a work in progress.
BTW - I’m impressed by your dedication to the mini challenge this week.2 -

@mirendybryant HOLY COW! Awesome loss this week. Keep it up and you’ll be at that goal well before Christmas.0 -
So very sorry @HASWLRS I swore I posted, must have forgotten to push submit on Monday. I weighted in at 294.4, I believe previous week was 297.8. I finally climbed over my plateau and it feels so good!
@Audgiebug Huge loss this week. Well done. I’m sure it feels great and many more great weeks to come.0 -

@cmhubbard92 It has to be so disappointing to make an amazing dish and to remember it by the fact that you choked
Hopefully a good night’s rest makes your throat and head feel better. Mini goals are such a good thing to have. I’ve decided to wait until I actually have several weeks of losses before I set any kind of weight goal. My focus now is tracking honestly and staying under my calories. 1 -

@mirendybryant Your steps and water intake are always so inspiring, but am I the only one that had to Google “brigadero”?

@mirendybryant @pkg1998 haha. I also googled it. It sounds delicious!0

It definitely was disappointing @pkg1998. I have what's left over for my lunch, so hopefully the same thing doesn't happen again haha. I figured that I haven't set any major goals with a deadline, so I hoping it is attainable!0 -

@cmhubbard92 What a scary episode you had with your choking! I am going to refresh myself on the Heimlich maneuver (now apparently called 'chest thrust')
@mirendybryant I also had to google brigadero - they sound too dangerous!
We are getting wonderful weather here (just outside of Toronto) I'm hoping to get a bike ride in.0 -
