February Week 1 Weigh in
PW 166.6
CW 169.2
I fully expected the gain, Superbowl is a big deal in my house. Its pretty much its own holiday for us, and it includes lots of yummy food, drinks, and sitting around watching TV lol. I know I did not over 7000 calories over maintenance, but I fully expected a 3-5lb water weight gain. I hope to see it drop back down for next week.4 -
@Prim0312 way to go on the loss!
@mellane30 great goal to use exercise to relieve stress!
@mari_moulin awesome stepping!
@samuel860 awesome loss!
@UTMom81 great stepping!
@dness1203 nice loss!
@panda4153 I am sure the water weight will be gone after a few days. Some days are made to be enjoyed.

I’ve been getting really frustrated with the scale. I haven’t lost anything for the whole of January. I’ve maintained my weight between 190 and 192 the whole month. Today I’ve made some changes on MPF. I will no longer allow myself to eat my workout calories (I always use this as an excuse to eat more) and I’ve changed my weight loss goals from 0.5 lbs loss to 2 lbs loss a week.
I am also really focusing on my bad snacking habits. This is what is causing me to stay at maintenance. I am eating too many bad snacks at random times. I’ve decided to set myself a snack goal and set a time. I have read a tip to actually sit at my snack time and to treat it like a meal. This way I have a start and end time to my snacking and I’m not just grabbing snacks mindlessly at random times making them truly add up by the end of the day. Let’s see how this new plan works out for me.
My February goals are......
Stay on or under my calorie goals everyday.
Drink at least 2 liters of water everyday
Complete 10,000 steps each day minimum.
Go to the gym 4 times a week (30min cardio + 1 hour strength on Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri)
Run 5K on Saturday's
Walk at least 1 hour on Sunday's
Zumba every Monday night (unless class is cancelled)

Steps for 2/4 = 11,055
Yesterday was a good day. I had gained several pounds over the Suoer Bowl weekend and I’m knocking those back out. Hoping to be back in the green by weigh in on Thursday but time will tell. I learned, though, that those party foods aren’t as good as they seem during the anticipatory phase! Except for one item, they didn’t really even taste that good. Should have just allowed myself a limited amount of that one thing and savored it. Next time!!!3 -
Hang in there @mari_moulin! You have certainly hit a bit of a plateau. But it sounds like you are making some adjustments. Good luck this week!
This week has continued to be busy for me at work but I have only two days left and then a long weekend. Goals for today:
1. Drink 100oz of water
2. Walk at lunch even if it’s only 30 mins
3. Bring veggies with my lunch. Yesterday I didn’t bring enough food and ended up buying something from the vending machine.3 -

Wednesday check in
Calories: under
Exercise: 70 minute walk
Water: not enough( only filled bottle twice, drank a lot of tea and coffee)
Didn’t make it to swimming tonight as I was beat. I took Molly to the vet last night and they started her on pain meds to help her sleep at night. It will take a week or two to figure out right dose. I am looking forward to a full night sleep again.0 -

Calories: Under
Water: 2L
Steps: 11,403
Exercise: Rest Day
I had a very good day yesterday! It was my scheduled rest day although it’s pretty active with house chores and laundry. I got my steps in and I did SO much better with my snacking. I’ve been struggling with mindless snacking for a few months now. Planning my snack as a meal really helped out. I made sure I sat down as if it were a meal and it had a start and end time. No more snacking after that. It was a good day!

Daily Check-in: Thursday 02/06
Calories: Under
Water: 3L
Steps: 16,156
Exercise: Gym session (30 min cardio + 70 min strength)
TGIF am I right! I’m up extra early this morning and have hit the gym hard. Those dumbbells didn’t know what hit em! Trained like an absolute beast! I wish I could train this way all the time but some days are harder than others. I’ve got some appointments today which is why I had to get my workout down extra early. I wasn’t gonna make excuses not to do it. My weight is moving down at a snails pace but I’m just happy it’s going down the right direction. Tomorrow morning is my official weigh in day so fingers crossed I come in with a loss.

So, I was actually invited on a company trip. My food selections were not the best. Trying to go keto while being gluten free is not always easy. You would think salads would be a go-to food. But most places put croutons on salads. From past experiences ordering without is not easy either. I am back home to a corrective fresh start.
