    I have been frustrated by this continuing yo-yo, gaining, losing the same few pounds. And then, only down by the tiniest amounts, like .2. Yesterday, I decided to go back to a basically keto-based diet. Not totally, but get rid of the things I crave: sugar, white flour and stick to things like berries for fruit, etc. stick to two, good meals, and up my water by a lot. Down 1.2 today. Yay!

    I'm proud of myself! But my tom is coming up and while I'm not gonna cave to my cravings, I still usually tend to gain, so I'm preparing myself for it. I'm so excited! I haven't been this dedicated to weightloss in a long time. This time I'm not stressing over it and I'm not restricting myself from anything (had panda express last night and mcdonalds the week before). Keep it up everyone. We can do it!

    I had a salty dinner last night so I'm almost sure that has an impact on my numbers today. Also, on Saturday I pigged out :o but I didn't cheat myself! I logged in everything I ate to hold myself accountable. I went over my calories by about 750-yikes! Then Sunday I said I would walk at least 10k steps and I didn't do that either. So this past week I went over my weekly calorie range but still had room to lose some weight just not my target goal. I'll do better this week :)

    Also, someone on here mentioned Team Body Project-thanks for that! I actually started last Tuesday and have been working out everyday. I like that it's low impact but trust I am definitely sore! I don't log any workouts though, I only account for my daily steps. Keep up the great work guys!

    Hi Ayesha! Although you had a big dinner on Saturday you recorded what you ate and continue to do well! That is a huge accomplishment. Before using MFP, I would have a big dinner and then give up because I had gained weight. You are doing all the right things! 👏👏👏

    That is awesome! You are doing a fantastic job! My TOM is coming up soon as well. That is when the cravings start for me. However, we have a goal and we can achieve it!! Let’s keep strong!💪😊

    Yay! I am so happy for you! I don’t do Keto but I follow a low carb food plan which is ideal for me. Lowering carbs especially sugar does help so much! Keep up the great work!😊

    I am impressed by the 10K goals. Before this quarantine had me working from home, I struggled to get 7000 steps with my desk job. Now I struggle to make 5K. This week my goal it to hit 7K at least 5 days.

    Nice goal! I have to push myself so much to increase my steps!

    Hey all!! Hope everyone is had a good weekend :) Mine was ok. My weight is pretty much the same as last Monday.... Which means I really need to step up my game! I plan on being more strict on measuring my foods and counting calories. I will be completeing my food diary EVERY evening. No excuses.

    Keep up the great work everyone!

    Thanks! Weighing in and logging every day has really helped me to not be overly concerned about a few lbs of weight gain. I know the overall trend is down and I'm sure I'll be back down again in a couple of days! And I don't regret my salty meal!

    I have upped my water intake so much that I may as well move my isolation home office from the dining room table to the bathroom because I am wearing out a path on the floor, although that won't be great for Zoom calls! (Who saw that video on FB? LOL) ... Seriously, I think I can feel a difference in everything from drinking so much water, even my skin and hair. Regular water bores me, though, after a while and I can barely choke it down, and I LOVE water, so my daughter and I have started buying Polar 100% natural flavored seltzer which has 0 everything in it. Did someone in this group mention some good zero sugar/carb flavoring to put in water to kick it up a notch? I can't remember but please mention it again, if so. Thanks, and rock on, all. You are such an inspiration. <3
