    My biggest hurdle right now: Breakfast/Lunches at work .... I don't go home for lunch anymore since I moved in March. I get too lazy at night to pack my lunch so I wind up doing it in the morning before work. I grab waaay to much food and have no real idea of how much I'm eating for breakfast/lunch and only a slight idea of my dinner calories.

    Thanks for starting the thread @weatherking2019 !

    My goals this month:

    1. Stay off the sugar. I've done well this last week, so I'll try to stay on this momentum.
    2. Current weight: 74.0 - goal weight by the end of the month: 72.0.
    3. Get my weekly steps back to at least 70K /week

    The weight loss will have to come down to eating well, as I can hardly move. By now, my shoulder is hurting so bad, I have to wear a mitella when walking. As you can imagine, no diving, no exercise and even walking long stretches (+5K) hurts. I have an appointment with a new specialist on Oct 1st to have this situation checked out.
    But I have to be conscious that weight loss really is 80% eating better and 20% exercise, so I really have to suck it up and go with it.

    Meal prep is hard! I look for portion controlled/minimal cooking options when I am busy. Hard boiled eggs, cheese snack packs, can tuna and salad boxes are my go tos.

    You'll figure it out when you get settled in and find a new routine.

    Hello everyone!

    CW 125
    GW 115

    Goals -
    1. Stop eating at the end of the day when I've hit my goal! I have a tendency to suffer from low blood sugar, and it can really drop at around 9 pm, but if I hang in there, eventually it reverses itself. 😲
    2. Walk 7000 steps/day (up from 5000).

    That's it! Thank you all for being here to hold my feet to the fire! Haha

    I’ve only been back on track with calories since Tuesday. We are leaving this morning for a 4 day trip to the beach. I’m a bit nervous that my self control is not developed enough for the trip. I hope being in a swimsuit every day will help me focus :) Good news is that my husband just got back on track too, so we are determined to help each other. We’ll see.

    I came in well under budget yesterday, even with a glass of wine. I was happy this morning when I put on a swimsuit that I was sure would be too tight and it wasn’t! I haven’t worn this one for a couple of years and was pleasantly surprised that it looked good (enough. It definitely looks better a few pounds lighter, but I’m happy to get to wear it again.)

    I started the month on a down note, feeling horrible and wondering if I had the dreaded you-know-what-19. My standard operating mode is 99% very healthy for my age and 1% in the Emergency Room, so I fret when something seems at all off. Unless that virus comes in a four day only version, I'm fine and almost back to normal. I'm back on track for my treadmill/rowing machine/mini-trampoline/kettlebell routine. My challenge is to lose the six pounds I've been battling for months and to cut waaaaay back on caffeine. (*) I'm lucky to get five hours sleep and that's in short increments. My husband has become accustomed to waking up and finding me gone and my cats have learned to tag along as I wander around among bedroom, sun room and guest room.

    (*) I have an online order working for what seems to be the most popular coffee substitute: Pero Instant Natural Beverage. Any recommendations? I've already stock up on all my favorite herbal tea varieties.

    I was under budget again yesterday. I’m feeling anxious to get back to a scale because I’m convinced it will show progress. When I put on my jeans this morning, it made me so happy that they just felt comfortable again instead of slightly tight like they had been for a while. Keeping that in mind will help me stay on track today.

    Monday 7th checkin: still 74.0

    I did pretty good last week, I also amped my steps. But then came Saturday evening with a big dinner that undid all the work of the previous days. Better this week ! :smile:
