I am happy that I have been tracking my calories and made it to the gym (weights/cardio) 4 days last week. I was over a couple of days in cal but, I have not had fast food or take out which is a huge accomplishment for me. I have started using the habit tracker as well. Its very easy for me to feel discouraged but not going to.
The positive changes I have make are greater than the .6 weight gain this week and looking forward to the next weigh in.
Aug daily Goals
- Log MFP
- 30 mins workout 4-5 times a week
- No Fast Food
- Drink More Water
@bakatit8gn19 Jay - this is amazing and a really positive message for all of us!! Learning to love every inch of the process is key to each day being part of the strong foundation of success. Very well said..... =>3 -
OK, I just lost a ton of replies checking out @trooworld recipe link, I added a brand new folder and put it in there but lost all my responses! I'm so sorry I can't retype them, it's hard for me to have my laptop on my lap as it worsens my pain but I'm reading everyone's posts and so glad you're all doing well!
@buniphuphu Happy birthday! Class of 89, right? Mine's in September, not too excited about it though! It's better than the alternative!
@vegan4lyfe2012 The majority of my hardbacks are Dean Koontz, John Saul, Anne Rice, and Stephen King. Robin Cook and Patricia Cornwell are up there too. I share books with my mom (well she shares with me) and we both read urban fantasy, sci fi, basic fiction like Nora Roberts and Catherine Coulter, and some regular and paranormal romances. I usually just read hers because I have thousands to read but just started buying my favorites which are more along psychological thrillers. I'm about to start a Catherine Coulter and just finished a good Nora Roberts. With music it's weird, I struggle with depression but feel like my hardcore metal music charges me up and lets out my anxiety, disco 80s rap and older pop cheers me up and reminds me of when I was young, then country and slower music mellows me out so it's different sides of my personality. I played the organ when I was young so I love instrumental music too. Definitely avoid Eminem then, I like a few of his songs but can see where he could cause aggravation. I'll be singing Christian music after church then I'm head-banging a few hours later, it's all fun to me!

Monday check-in
Calories- under
Exercise- seated dance (I HATE having to sit to dance!), abs, stretching yoga, Kundalini yoga, 7 chakra meditation, earth energy healing.
Water- over
Cardio 30 minutes- done
Abs/arms- done
Yoga- done
Meditation- done
Splits!- done
I think I told you guys, since I can't have weightlifting goals, cardio goals, or really do any other type of physical goal I decided after being inspired by a friend of mine that I'd do the side splits by my birthday! Oh, I have a ways to go, I have two months to get my pelvic bone to touch the ground about 5 inches! With my back fusions my hip flexors are REALLY tight so this will be a challenge! Of course I'm going for it, I'm doing crazy resistance band leg stretches that make me want to cry to loosen up my hips and legs! Yoga kicks my BUTT more than weight lifting, cardio, or strength exercises. I feel bad now for making fun of the guy I'm seeing for being sore after my version of yoga, I can barely walk when I wake up! I usually just check off daily goals in a bullet journal but this is going to get me a gemstone bracelet for my birthday. Of course the one I want the most is amethyst, turns out it's great for impatient people with tempers who need to calm their anxiety, I want it NOW NOW NOW! Kidding, I can wait two months!
The guy I'm seeing is probably coming tonight for a few days. It was a crazy day, few people having surgery and a couple emergencies then there were two accidents on the way home from the store. Fridge is good until Friday, kitchen is cleaned, legs aren't happy but it feels good to have it all done and everyone made it through their issues so I can breathe easy now.3 -
Monday check-in
Calories - I was under my daily allowance although I’m hoping I counted that salmon poke bowl correctly😬. I planned on going for a walk in addition to the 45-minute cycling workout but that was a bust! Between work and chores, before you know it the sun went down. I pushed myself to still get on the bike and felt great after. I met my daily move and exercise goal on my watch so that made me feel good!
Hoping that I do good again tomorrow and actually check all 3 boxes on the habit tracker!
Good night team!!!4 -
My goals for this month are;
To not drink alcohol Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday.
To not eat after 6:30pm on these days
To check in at least once daily to this group ☺️
I am not going to go crazy and do my normal rapid loss only to regain it. Yoyoing is annoying- I want to go the distance 👍4 -
@Bettyboag You have good goals for the month. I especially like your plans not to do rapid weight loss. It really is better to go slow and keep it off.
@anido1 Great weight loss this week!
Good for you for pushing yourself to get on your bike even though you had already had a full day of work and chores. Just keep it up and those checked boxes will add up.
@Katmary71 Yikes on side splits! You really do thrive on challenging yourself, don’t you? I am sure that you get that amethyst for your birthday. I hope you have fun with your guy.
@raleighgirl09 Yayyy for checking in every day! I really should make that one of my goals too.
You just stay focused and you will reach your goal. Ugghhhh, don’t get me started on sleep. Twice this week I woke up in the middle of the night and laid there wide awake for over an hour. Last night I got up and took another sleep aid. Probably shouldn’t start making that a habit. 
@Tracey0888 Great job on tracking your goals! I hope to see your next post update that you are improving on your self-care. You know that is very important!
@bakatit8gn19 You are doing great and that small gain will come off in no time. You know that if you have been exercising, especially using weights, you will retain some water. I know that I always do when I up my weightlifting.
@buniphuphu Happy birthday! Your birthday dinner sounds wonderful and I hope that you enjoyed every bit of it. Ohhhh and great weight loss this week!! Keep it up!
Good morning team! I really have to not skip a day here because I don’t like missing out on all your post. My mom’s eye surgery went really well yesterday. She does the other eye next Monday and hopefully, that will improve her vision. Otherwise, she is looking at retina surgery. I started week 7 of my workout hybrid calendar of Barre Blend and weightlifting. It’s hard but I’m determined to finish all 8 weeks. My weight is up for the week, which is annoying me so I need to pull back on the amount I eat for dinner and up my fasting times, which have slacked this week. OK, I'm off to work out and then do this week's grocery shopping. Take care of yourself and stay focused! 3 -

Hello there! I have been having a crazy few days, and so am introducing myself late, but here goes! I'll hit the reset button and get going!
I'm Austin, one of your three Team Motivators! I work to support the awesome @Katmary71, @raleighgirl09 , @broncobuddee and of course our wonderful @TeresaW1020 as needed to help keep this wonderful group humming along!
Introduction (but zupped for easy scrolling past if TMI!):I joined Fat2Fit over a year ago, part way through my journey, and find this group to be super helpful and supportive. I have lost over 130 pounds since I started work on losing weight (January 2018), and have reached a healthy weight. I am now working to build muscle and fitness. I am not using the word "maintenance" here because more and more, I think it's misleading. As far as I can tell, there is no coasting if I want to stay healthy and in shape.
I study martial arts and love walks, so you'll hopefully see those activities on my check-ins. I love to read fiction of many kinds! Most recent book that I am raving to friends about is Where We Come From by Oscar Casares. It came out last year, so I may be late to the -what-a-great-book party on this one (kinda like checking in on Tuesday not Monday this week - better late than never!). I don;t have much reading time, so this is actually me reporting on a great audiobook (since I can listen while walking, cooking, housework, etc.)
I also love to read up on nonfiction things, and have studied habit building* and nutritional science** as I have worked on losing weight and getting healthier. Every body and every person is different, and I have enjoyed learning more and engaging in the kind of science experiment of figuring out what works for me. Making it happen has been and is still all about developing new habits for me, so every so often I burble about habit building!
* If interested, check out the work of B.J. Fogg (professor at the Stanford Behavior Design Lab)! He has a book called Tiny Habits, which I love. If you want to reprogram your health and fitness habits, the Tiny Habits system in this book is super simple and practical and unexpectedly (to me) fun. Fogg's team has a weekly free Tiny Habits course to help you build new tiny habits to make your life better! If you get at all interested, though, the book is even better.
For inspiration on habits, see also the work of James Clear (author of Atomic Habits). His talk on How to Get 1% Better Every Day was particularly inspirational to me. He kicks it off this way:
"So if you were able to improve by 1% each day for an entire year... you would end up 37 times better at the end of the year. And if you were to get 1% worse, you would whittle yourself down almost to zero."
I just love that message -- you don't need to change something huge to reach your goals. Start small. Keep making small changes. Persistence will get you there!
** If interested, check out the nonprofit, research-based site nutritionfacts.org as a great place to start.

@Katmary71 I have some of Anne Rice’s books, too. And just like flipping the switch with music, I really loved the Left Behind series (along with the 3 prequels). I read all 16 books through 3 times and I’m about to start a 4th. I also read the Teen Left Behind series a couple times. Although one of my books is missing… There are a couple non-horror authors I really like, too. David Baldacci (love his books on CD…I listen to them when driving long distances). I plan on getting the first two in the Atlee series for my trip coming up. And James Rollins’ Sigma Force series. All over the place, I am!
@trooworld I think we have pretty much the same taste in horror…except I just couldn’t make myself like It Follows. Some of my other faves are Dead Birds, Insidious series, Psycho, Scream, House of 9, Pumpkinhead…I’m just all over the place. I own most of Stephen King’s movies/miniseries. Oh – and I love the After Dark Horror Fest movies. I think I own just over half of them now. The Broken is my fave out of all those. And I like stupid funny horror…like Rubber, Killer Klowns, Killer Tomatoes, Puppet Master series, etc. Oh! And movies from the 70s/80s that I grew up on and how they mostly revolve around contamination issues…like Prophecy, Squirm, Day of the Animals, Soylent Green, It’s Alive (all 3), CHUD, etc. I better stop. I could go on and on!
@Jactop Just an FYI…on the August Habit Tracker, you put yourself in the wrong team (Downsizers). If you scroll down, you can see the tabs at the bottom to select Mission Slimpossible and put your stuff in there

Best. Laid. Plans.
Went dorm shopping with daughter today. Had a lunch stop planned, but didn't work out and wound up eating elsewhere for twice the calories. So not worth it, but I did the best I could and that's life. "Anger ate" a few things while making dinner for this reason...... telling myself that I screwed up, etc. This is why we need to be kind to ourselves, right? Then pushed through and had salad for dinner so the day was not a complete bust- just not under.
Thanks for your ears team.

Tuesday check in
Hey, HO!!! Great evening to all, hope you've had a great day to kick it off! => My stats for today: day 4 of the monthly challenge of 0 days under 10,000 steps and busto-bango. So many things got in the way, although I could have pushed past it at the end of the day but juuuuust didn't have it in me by then. So many reasons that only feel like excuses so I'll just say - didn't make that one. Learn from it and plan better for the rest of the month so that I'll be prepared for September! Calories are on track - pre-logging is my best friend so that I know what to eat and it's all laid out. Water is on target with 8 cups so far, working to get a few more in by bedtime. 7 hours sleep last night and happy about that. Counting a good day in the books!
@Katmary71 - - - So. Many. Times. UGH! I always say I'm gonna do what @TeresaW1020 does with a word doc and then I forget and live dangerously (I am as we speak) by typing 'live' into the reply box. Sounds like a good day for you - the splits??? Zowie - that is super impressive!! And you know what they say...if you want to see how someone will behave, spend some time in isolation with them! Or - maybe that was spend time when one of ya has the flu but I peppered it up to be up with the current situation....
@anido1 sounds like you also had a good day and did FABULOUS with the exercise! And - to be sure - any day that inludes a poke bowl is a GREAT day! =>
@Bettyboag sounds like you've got a solid aresenal of goals going - and sensibly keeping it real for yourself, way to go! I started playing with 'no alcohol' nights, too, I do 1-2 nights a week off. We're like the book ends for the movement!
@TeresaW1020 good luck to your mom and a little prayer! My mom had her eyes done (cateracts) about a year ago and wow, her sight improved by about 95%. Thinking of ya on the adjusting what you're doing in order to meet the goal - so much easier when we get on it right away!! =>
@trooworld what a super day, that's awesome!
@jactop hey, some days are better than others but you've been keeping it consistent - and I have loved watching your lead into Onderland grow.... =>
@digger61 so awesome to see your progress and - wow - your exercise has been awesome, way to go!
@AustinRuadhain yeaaaaah, I love this - and we'll do this 'cause we GOT this!! =>AustinRuadhain wrote: »
@vegan4lyfe2012 hey - I think I know how you got through all of that cast time - READING! I used to read a lot, and many of the authors you mentioned but my attention span for reading has really been challenged for the last several years. I am delving into audio books and podcasts, trying to see if I want to actually subscribe with a service
@Cornanda I gotta say - it's just amazing to look up and see yourself starting down a familiar slide and then stopping and getting off the ride - ON PURPOSE! Yes, indeed - that is why we need to be kind to ourselves. No matter if it's ourselves we're reacting to or someone else....we always do a better job with a cooler head. => And the best part of that, the priceless part, is how it will help you the next time (because, there's always another one coming down the pipe) you'll see it sooner and the day is coming that you catch it before anger eating. Awesome you!3 -

Couldn't sleep last night because of pain after too much housework, I fell asleep late this morning and woke up in the middle of the afternoon so I've been off all day. Thank goodness the guy I'm seeing doesn't need constant attention and is busy while here, I got my workout and meditation done in peace then we hang out. Sounds kinda mean but I need my sleep, workouts, and healthy food and those are dealbreakers or I wouldn't let him visit. He has a good shredded chicken recipe we made tonight in the Instant Pot though he's not impressed with lettuce wraps! He eats what I put on the table and appreciates it so it's all good. Hope everyone is doing well!2 -

Take care of that foot of yours!
@Jactop I notice a correlation as well between how I sleep and how my next day goes with fitness and diet. Good job on getting in your cardio and steps!
@buniphuphu Tag @broncobuddee with the weight you want to start with and he can correct it for you.
@digger61 Nice job on meeting your goals!
@GretchenReine Yayyy for your loss this week! Keep it up!
@trooworld How are you doing being back at work? I bet you're tired.
@Bettyboag Yayyyy for achieving your goals for three straight days! Keep it up!
@Katmary71 Sorry that you had a rough night of pain. And that is good that your guy respects your dealbreakers.
Hi Team! I woke up with a headache this morning and felt off most of the day. I did do my workout but had to modify a lot because the intensity of week 7 Barre cardio was kicking my butt. I also managed to do most of the weightlifting portion for leg day. After that, I didn’t do too much except finish my latest jigsaw puzzle and binge listening to my fasting podcast. I fasted 21 hours and opened with a lemon Greek yogurt with pecans and a cup of coffee with heavy cream. After that, I felt much better and was able to do a little housework. Dinner was Subway and I did OK, except for the cookie I ate. I don’t have a lot of hope for a loss this week but that is OK. I will just keep doing my thing.

GabiV125-weight day Wednesday
PW: 135.0
CW: 134.4
I still have issues opening the tracker, so I’m adding the screenshot of my step count for the first half of this week
4 -
Happy Hump Day! I see many of you are off to a good start.
@TeresaW1020 I love puzzles also and find the object games. What type of podcasts do you find interesting? Maggie Mae wants to take you for a walk. he he he. I could not, would not, embrace fasting for more than 12 hours. I would keel over and die, jump off my weightloss horse in a hurry. Different strokes for different folks. We all know what works for us. Unfortunately, what worked for me before, doesn't any more and had to try some new tricks. Started Calorie counting and walking in the fat burning zone. So far....pure awesomeness.
@GabiV125 What type of dog do you have? Mine is a beagle! My husband loves it when I go on a cleaning frenzy. I tell him not to get used to it - it's not my gig. Oh, I keep it clean and neat, but deep clean maybe once every two months (that's carpets, stoves, windows and actually picking up stuff to dust all of it. I do it for him because after 35 years of marriage, I still love that guy. While you said you didn't plan well with kids so far apart, @gretchenReine has kids 13 years apart!! The winner is @MommaGemz with a 7 & 8 year old! That's crazy. My daughter has irish twins. I remember when she came through the door a month after she delivered and with a flood of tears she fell in my arms and said "I'm pregnant". She was also in nursing school. The boys are 8 and 9 now, best buddies and she immediately went back and finished her nursing degree.
@MommaGemz Girl- let me tell you something...I ate for two when I was prego for all 3 of my pregnancies. I started at 156 pounds and after babies grew to 190 something pounds. Then, I ate what the kids didn't on their plate, stress ate, ate out alot and BOOM - 245 pounds. Gladly I can say I found my way back down and am now at 193.1 pounds. I totally get it. We are about the same weight. I have a stationary bike that gathers dust. I just can't seem to do it. I like to make tracks so I've been walking and some elliptical. You go Momma - get it!
@Cornanda You are correct "you can't outrun a fork". Hilarious. I've put that one in my quote book. With kids heading off to college, I hope they are able to attend in person instead of online. I hate that so many students are missing milestones like prom, graduation, first dorm room...etc. Being an empty nester, even temporarily is tough. I cried for a week when my youngest moved out. I danced the night away when my oldest moved out. lol 3 kids and not 2 the same.
@buniphuphu Man alive Marki! writing out your username is a killer. My fingers don't usually touchthe "u" key. I just realized it's pronounce "Bunny Foo Foo". I loved singing that one to the kids. You've had quite a time with that Feb cold virus. I bet Covid is scaring you. Mask up, stay home and be well. Glad you have your weight down. Swimming is great exercise. My idea of swimming is laying flat on my back on a raft. I have an inground pool so I can say I do some treading. Hurray for you being able to cut out Coke. Was the Coke or Diet Coke? The only diet soda I can stand is Fresca and Sprite Zero. They both have tons of great flavor and zero calories. I use it as a treat when I've been good. lol I actually fit in two jack in the box tacos one day and chips and salsa another day. I managed the calories to fit them in. I am a big believer that you need to enjoy what you are eating or you won't stick with it. There are all kinds of creative ways to fit something in you want. My youngest son, a police officer is getting married Friday. So I have been walking my tail end off between 11K-26K steps a day so that I can fully enjoy the rehearsal dinner at Spaghetti Factory and the wedding meal with cake!
@kingtika Well I am a first timer also. That is so much better than a "two timer". pun intended. Your young, while you are feeling that you are slowing down, you have 18 years on me to work on your activity level and your calorie intake. To be 39 again. sigh..... Keep at it dude. Race those kids, bench press them, play tag with them. I guarantee being an active father in your kids lives will wear you out and you will drop them pounds. Just padlock the snack cabinet and whala! I am excited to see you move those numbers down.
@GretchenReine The Virginian. I too have lost enough weight in my lifetime up and down that I'm dizzy. I have never counted calories, always done low carb. I am enjoying being accountable, besides I am obsessed with numbers and street names. Odd duck I am. I hope your Wednesday weigh in was a negative, meaning down. I really hope you feel positive. I think you are too hard on yourself. If I drank a gallon of water, I would need a urine catheter placed with a leg bag. No way hosea. I would float away. Hats off girlfriend.
@gwarnajtw91 Holy moly batman? Where did you come up with that user name and what does it mean to you. You are very tall. I stand at 5'4" on my tippietoes. My sisters are 5'9". They got the height and .....I got the boobs. They are both flat chested and we laugh together about the tipped scales. Good luck and power to ya girl, what a challenge the 757 deal. With intermittant fasting and CICO, how many calories are you shooting for a day? August 26th, here you come.
@Beka3695 Can't wait to learn more about you. I see you are posting winners. Please pull my name out of that hat at the end of August. I tip well. .
@vegan4lyfe2012 I tore my achilles tendon in 2011 and had the boot. It really slowed me down but I did think I burned more calories lugging it around. I had bilateral carpal tunnel to both my hands in May. The night before surgery, I fell into a bed of rocks directly on my shoulder. I've been seeing my chiropractor, resting it and icing it. It's August and it is just now feeling like it's close to a complete recovery. Murphy's Law and I are good friends. Lightning always strikes in the same place when I'm down. Boy, did I have a tough time transitioning into isolation and working from home. Took me 4 months to brush my teeth regularly and take my medication. I have read and re-read the Stand. That was Stephen Kings best book! I also serve at my church. Seems alot of people in this group are of faith. I hope you enjoy your extended vacation
@Jactop Stamp away girl. Stamp away. That's an awesome part time business. I hovered at 199 pounds F-O-R-E-V-E-R! I get it. Makes you want to pick up that scale and shake it while cussing it. How you doing on those 15K steps? That is a lofty goal.
Jugar Thank you for the link to week 1 Challenge. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10805773/team-on-my-shoulder-week-1-challenge-august-2020#latest
@leonadixon from Albuquerque NM. Geez all those "u" keys, tough one to spell. I see a chiropractor and swear by mine. I know some have been experiences and when you find a good one, it's golden. Your Psoriasis clear up is amazing. Staying away from sugar and dairy is hard. I guess if you can do that, you can do almost anything. Will look forward to hearing how you are doing.
@digger and @Anido, and @bakatit8gn and AustinRuadhain - Hello and go get 'em tigers. To the top with all of you. Hit them goals. You can do it, I know you can. Austin you may need to slow down a bit and reorganize your life and priorities. lol Seems you are burning that candle at both ends. That stress increases your cortisol level which loves to hold on to those juicy fat cells. In today's world we are all battling Cortisol.
Good night everyone. Persevere towards your goals. You are worth it!

This feels more like a pleasant chat than a challenge! I’m having so much fun!
This time around my approach is just that, to shush the negative talk in my head, to focus on things I like, spend more time outside even if it feels like a sauna sometimes, to listen more, to call the people I truly like.
Maybe the execution of said plan is not perfect: I drove the girls and myself to about 10 doctor appointments this week, that couldn’t happen this past moths. Nothing big, eye dr, dentist, etc.
I walked my 1yo Puggle 4-5 times a day, until he got so stinky he had to get a shower ( hates baths ).
I went to Costco 2 times in 10 days, and my bank account hiccuped.
Had to place a cap to no more than an hour of Domino per day, with my youngest.
Had so many work talks with my husband, I am very close to pass the journey man exam ( not really 🤣)

Wednesday Checkin August 5th,2020
The next two days could throw me off track. I am going to Hang on to the rails by a thread. My son is getting married Friday which means rehearsal dinner and wedding dinner. I’m not too worried about overdoing my calories but I know I Mar fail to check in. Hope I find some time. Ordered my dress online and happily it fits great. Saturday is my grandson’s birthday. I have a hard time passing up my favorite cake; Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake. So just a nibble. I’m relearning that I am not punishing myself by passing things up, but developing self discipline. I’ll add up all my net carbs tomorrow night to see what is over 3500 calories so I can see a 192 lb weigh in on Monday.
