I am failing and am now at the point where I have gained back 15 of my 25 pound weight loss. I need to get my eating under control and move more.
So...

I am leaving to go do some shopping for Michaela’s birthday party tomorrow. Her birthday was Jan 3, but Lauryn allows the gap to make it further from Christmas. We always buy her something to open on the 3rd though.
Then I need to clean and do laundry.
Have a great day everyone6 -

Hi Sister... No looking down, or looking back. We got you. If it left before, it will go again. And we're not disappointed in you, we're loving you. We've all had this to happen. We are chugging over the weight loss track, full throttle, then we derail, or run out of steam. The best part about this thread ( track), We all show up to help put the coal in the boiler. Another Day... Another Chance to Try. 💝 🤗🙏😍 Love you @Snowflake19685 -

Morning all. Had a great day yesterday in every way other than getting a bit stressed by some stuff in the evening and then eating a load of the treats I’d tried so hard to avoid! But its done now, and I’ve logged big deficits through the rest of the week so - if I get straight back on track today - it should make little difference.
Weighed myself today for the first time since before the operation, and I have around 5-10 lbs to lose to get to my happiest weight. Perfectly do-able and I’m ready to focus on this now as the healing is well underway. Keeping today fairly simple as we are all tired from the sleepover.
Saturday goals recap:
Get kids up and ready ✅
Kids to do homework straight after breakfast ✅
Groceries ✅
Workout (Walk not gym) ✅
Move mattresses and TV for sleepover party ✅
Pack cake and sweet cones and head to venue by 2:45 ✅
Party 3:30-5:30 ✅
Set up snack plates and heat mac and cheese ✅
Hydrate! ✅
Stay within calorie goal ❎
Bed by 12❎
Sunday goals:
up and weigh, shower and wound check ✅
Make pancake mix and lay out breakfast table ✅
Laundry

JFT Saturday 25th
Eat under maintenance not sure
Back exercises no, really need to do this!
Be positive yes
No snacking one biscuit
Keep packing... and cleaning...and decluttering... yes, lots done
@Snowflake1968, I also feel like I'm failing miserably at the moment. I want to be slimmer, but I can't seem to find the determination to actually do it! I know from experience that I will have to be really committed to sticking to a low amount of calories for quite a long time, and it's not fun is it?! At least we are both still turning up here, which means we haven't given up on doing it.
Planning on today going well. There are no "treat things" in the house (if I don't buy them I can't eat them) so won't be snacking. May have one glass of wine whilst watching my favourite TV programme tonight (on the pretext of clearing my kitchen cupboards before moving )
Enjoy your Sunday everyone.3 -
Morning! I went out last night and got to bed much later than normal, so I slept in an extra half hour today, but now I’m in a bit of a rush to get to church. I’m singing for the 7:30 mass and we have a new accompanist coming in and I’m a bit nervous on how it will go. 🎶

Good morning everyone! A decent cup of coffee makes such a difference
I'm calling yesterday a draw in the battle of Me vs. Daily Goals. I'm still struggling with motivation, even for some of the things I usually enjoy or really want to do. The short days and cold grey January weather don't help. I'm starting my exercise program at the gym tomorrow, so hopefully that will help with both motivation and mood.
I've also been bouncing around the same 2.5 lb range on the scale all month, which is a little dispiriting. I don't really want to increase my deficit, so I guess I need to tighten up my logging and move more.
Goals for Saturday, January 25, 2020
• Complete food log and maintain a calorie deficit - √
• 2 hours on household chores – 25 %
• Pick up yogurt and decent coffee - √- Turned into 8 bags of groceries!
• Start planning Spring Break trip with younger son – X
• Start a book from my TBR pile – √ - Read the first chapter in Susan Orleans’ The Library Book.
JFT Goals for Sunday, January 26, 2020
• Complete food log and maintain a calorie deficit
• Finish dinner prep (moussaka, tzatziki, and sangria) before heading out
• Walk in the park
• Call son about trip
• Dinner with my daughter’s family
• Prep for Monday class
• Pack gym bag
• Reflection journal

Pretty successful weekend, though we didn’t find a dress and her tie was not great. Home note with a cough. Ugh. Here is to staying on track and feeling better.4

@littleblackskirt - the determination is lacking in me too. I just am struggling to care enough right now. It seems that the harder Rodger is trying to lose the more I want to go the opposite way.
I will get back to it though, I have to or I’m not going to have clothes to wear as I got rid of all of my bigger ones as I lost.
I did not complete any of my goals yesterday. I feel if I could start getting those met I would actually get my gumption back.
I’ll post goals today again because I need to build the habit of doing it. I know it’s going to be hard to meet though because we are going to Michaela’s birthday party this afternoon.
Lauryn allowed her to invite all of the little girls in her preschool using the same principle as Jonah’s where less than half accept. All of them accepted for Michaela so there will be 12 3-4 year old girls at this party. It should be fun!

You are not disappointing anyone ... you are human like the rest of us. Losing weight is hard, because for years, that was our coping mechanism .. stress = food ,etc. You have been under tremendous stress this past year, and with a new job you are doing. So I hope you give yourself a huge pat on the back, that you are still trying. It is hard. Losing weight and keeping it off is hard. But so proud of you. You are there for everyone else.
I did nothing but eat the past 2 days, so I know how you feel. Even though I tell myself that food will not help .. its what we've done all our life to cope with things.
So like you, today is a reset day. Today is a day we take care of ourself .. the water, the eating protein and veggies. I know you can do it. You were my inspiration last year .... and I know you can do it again. This is just a setback. We're all here for you!3 -
My weight history:Name: JoanGoals for 2020:
5'11"
69 yrs old
SW Year 2017: 217
SW Year 2018: 195.5
SW Year 2019 : 206
SW Year 2020: 182.6These are the healthy habits I would like to do in 2020:2020 - January Discard 5lb Challenge
1. Lose 15 pounds to get to my ultimate goal of 165, and then learn how to maintain it.
2. To be better with planning my meals each week
3. to get up in the morning, and have a rough idea of what I plan to eat the rest of the day.
4. To stop mindless eating. To learn how to eat to live, not live to eat.
5. To make drinking water a regular habit.. and drink 8+ glasses of water a day
Name: Joan
5'11" - yes, I am very tall!
SW: 185.4 (Jan 3, 2020)
1st GW: 180.4
2nd GW: 178 (to be in the "normal" weight range).
Ultimate GW: 165-175, and learn to maintain.
Current Weight today:Jan 6: 181.2 -- back on track with healthy eating the past 2 days.Jan 23: 179.8
Jan 7: 182.5 - got into Candy Kisses last nite
Jan 13: 181.7 -- getting there, but slowly. Weight went up for a couple days, due to unhealthy eating again.
Jan 17: 181.2 -- just holding this weight!! Want to get back to the 170s!!
Jan 19: 179.6 -- Yah! Back in the 170s. Close to my 1st goal of 178 --- then onto next goal of 175, and maintain.
Jan 20: 180.2 -- but I am not going to worry, since only up .6
The past 2 days I have done nothing but eat .. ice cream, (which I should never have brought, because I ate an entire box in just 2days), the buster bar that daughter brought out, which I avoided before. I know when I bought it I would eat it, and I just didn't care.
We got bad news on friday, as hubbys PSA numbers have been going up the past few years. For his physical in december, his numbers jumped up by 2 pts. So we saw the urologist last week, and they did another PSA test .. in just one month, another 2 pt jump. SO tomorrow morning he goes in for a biopsy, but the doctor told us it does not look good how quickly the numbers are jumping.
We will not find out until thrusday the results, and where we go from there. I know prostate cancer is very curable, but there is always the risk of it being the aggressive kind and going outside the prostate. So I did what I know and have always done ... eat.
So this stops today. Food is not the answer , only makes me feel worse. Positive thinking is the way to handle this, one day at a time, like everything in life.
JFT, sunday
1. log all food
2. concentrate on mindful, slow eating
3. concentrate on water == trying to make this habit. 8+ water a day
4. laundry
5. no snacking tonite... or if I do, just grab a apple and stop.
6. work on business taxes
7. keep busy ...start on charity tote bags (which in mindless sewing, but keeps me busy)

Great workout Mary! Love seeing you back posting!!0 -
I'm 135 posts behind, so need to go back to page 27 to catch up. I will do that later, because I don't like not knowing how everyone is doing and don't want to miss anything! This was the week from hell at work, and I was lucky to even find time to log food once in a while. Wasn't even successful at doing that on a daily basis.
So, I'm keeping it very basic right now with only the two most important things to me right now. Logging what I eat and drinking a healthy amount of water.
I'll hop on later when we get back from running errands to catch up on posts. Hugs, peace and love to you all!
Just for today/Sunday:
Log every bite
Choose food mindfully and enjoy each bite, chewing slowly
Drink Water and log every ounce
Prep for tomorrow, tonight....pick outfit, pack lunch bag, bed early.
Word of 2020: Perseverance5 -
@mytime6630 I’m so sorry that the numbers are worrying. I will be thinking of you and hoping for positive outcomes from the biopsy. Big hugs xx2

@mytime6630. I feel for you and your husband, we’re still waiting for my husband’s biopsy results and it’s no fun. Sending you hugs.3

Sunday 26 Jan
Yesterday’s I was very much in the red, every course I was served for dinner had cream in it (meal at friend’s house so no choices). I’ve done better today and met my normal goals as I forced myself to get up early and exercise before going out for the day. I’m giving myself a big pat on the back as staying in bed was far more attractive. I’m staying with my parents tonight so it will be Tuesday before my next morning weigh in, hopefully I’ll be back on an even keel by then.
.Here’s to next week and a fresh start!5 -

Oh -- I did not know that. Hugs to you also, and hoping your results are good. They told us we will not get results until thursday.2
