Are you over 200pds, let's diet together

Good morning, everyone. It's been a minute since I could get on here to post due to my schedule. Work has been crazy and home isn't any better with me raising 2 grandsons, working full time and being a "single parent" home schooling those 2 boys... I stay just a bit busy! I will try to post weekly moving forward, but again... life is interesting this year!

I don't consider a goal achieved until I've stayed on or below it for a week. My weight fluctuates enough that I can be there today, gone tomorrow... back on 3rd day... If I stay on or below for a week, I know I've truly hit that goal.

Here are my stats as of today - 2nd goal achieved as of today!

Starting Weight (Jan 2020) : 233
Mini Goal Weight : 220 ✅
Mini Goal weight 2 : 210 ✅
Mini Goal weight 3: 200 – By Thanksgiving 2020
Goal Weight: 160

Mon Aug 25, 2020 – 207.6

I lost two pounds in two days to bring me down to 253, but this is after three weeks of being between 257 and 255. But I'll take it cause it's movement in the right direction.

And this morning I was 251. So apparently we're not done with the cliff part of the cycle yet.

So I'm back from my dad's. I got down to 185. I'm now am at 187 as of Monday went up two pounds because I didn't record anything and ate what I wanted. So I know that keeping track is the way I need to be. I am fine with that.

Lw two weeks ago 185
Monday 187. Was keeping track as of Monday.

The little changes I'm trying to do....

Incourage not discourage myself and others
Drink water at meal prep. It makes me more full during the meal too and don't eat as much.
Not eat the rest of kids meals when there done.
They always ask for mine. I say I weighed it and need it all for my body to grow strong especially the veggies and meat there is more on the counter if you want more.
We all get to pick what we want once a week for dinner. The rest I pick what we have in the fridge.
Some of these are food related and some are my mind
This one is the best. If I start eating more than i want during it I think about where I am and how far I've come and where I want to be. How good I feel right now compared to before. That usually debunks it. Then I record it and let it go.

Boyfriend put on a belt he hadn't worn for a while and freaked out about his weight. (sigh) Yes, he's gained. On the other hand, he sustained some pretty severe trauma in November last year, and he's dealing with it really really well; if he gains forty pounds, he gains, he's taken it off before, we can take it off again once he's healed enough mentally and emotionally to do it. But now he's convinced that he has to punish himself by giving up everything. So it's going to be a fun couple of days here while he settles back down. Certainly I can help him with portion control if he wants that, but I'm not going to join him in self-hatred or anything unhelpful like that.

Whee.

Hi all! I managed two days in a row logging food and 6 of the past nine days working out. I was in a car accident a little over a week ago and I thought it would give me an 'out' but I decided not to let it. And honestly it feels like working out has helped my back.

Last time I weighed in I said I weighed in on the sat evening at 188.5 after a dinner too. The next morning I weighed in at 186 after pee and before breakfast. I knew it would be lower but that's cray cray. I'll still take it. You can keep it like that or change if you want.
Lw 188.5/187
Cw 183.5 either way I'm excited.
Ltd 26.5. 53%of my goal gone.

Lady C, that's a really awesome photo. The background. Best regards to your family.
