Eaturpasta
Weigh in Day: Tuesday
PW:170.6
CW:170.8... plus .2 for the week. Disappointing, but not surprising as this has been the case for 4 months now. I really would like to to break into the 160's.
SW 197.0
LTD(loss to date) 26.4

I am really confused and believe me it doesn’t take much. 😂 I have your weigh in yesterday as PW 171.2 and CW 170.6. Do you want me to change it to 170.8? According to the spreadsheet you have lost 4.2 pounds this month. That is a pound a week. That is right where you want to be. The recommended weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds a week. Studies show that losing weight at this rate are more likely to be successful keeping the weight off. As you get closer to goal your weight loss will slow down. What do you have selected as your weekly weight loss goal?

@lindamtuck2018 my goal is 1 pound a week. The above amount is correct, the one you mentioned is the prior week's info. CW today is actually 171.6, which sucks. So yes, please change it to 170.8 which it was on my weigh in day. I have been bouncing from 170.2 to 174 for 4 months. I have yet to get below 170.

Hope that makes sense.

Is your weigh in day Tuesday or Wednesday? It is frustrating bouncing around like that. Have you tried mixing things up to see if it makes a difference? I know IF got me moving 4 or 5 months ago when I was stuck. I know that is not for everyone. Also you could mix your exercise up and see if that helps.

There are many benefits from losing weight. What benefits have you found as a result of losing weight? For those starting, what benefits to you expect?

After losing weight I slept much better at night and don’t wake up so tired so I have more energy for the day.
Benefits I expect is hopefully more stamina with running (and just in general) and have an easier time running and keeping up with my kids.

My biggest one is my health ... since I quit smoking in Jan. 2019 no more asthma attacks .. I no longer wheeze when walking .....I have more energy then I know what to do with ....My Dr. is happy with my progress and I am just more happy all around ... I still have a ways to go but I am closer than I was

Bravo Megan on quitting smoking! It is such a challenge! I am currently 7 months smoke free! Woot! You cannot smell me before you see me!

Thank you so much ....smoking 30+ years sure didn't help me ... I quit because I couldn't breathe and ended up in the hospital for 9 days due to having the flu/pneumonia ...I feel so much better without smoking ,,,, Congrats on being smoke free for 7 months

Steps for Today: 6,319

DAILY GOALS:
10,000 steps per day: Not met I had a big plan all day and even bought myself new headphones for my run only for it to be a torrential downpour by the time I got home. UGGH!
1/2 Gallon of water per day: Goal met! It took quite a bit just to get that down...my job at the surgery center is a sedentary desk job so it is completely unlike my hospital days so walking AND drinking water is a big challenge for me there.
Lower Soda Intake: GOAL MET! I had about 6 oz of a 12 oz can this morning and about 3/4 of a 20 oz this evening so give or take 13oz?
Exercise daily: GOAL MET! (well it will be, I am going to do some squats and some yoga before bed to workout some frustration.

Today has been...a day lol. Started out positively but I was just utterly and completely annoyed with everyone and everything by the end of it. I think it is because I have so much to do and not enough time to do it so it is kinda stressing me out. But alas, I will get it all done because you know...#MomLife

I work at the hospital again tomorrow so I will definitely get my steps up and drink much more water than I did today. Also before I go to bed I am getting my lunch together and going to remember to pack my flavor enhancers to help increase my desire to drink it. Often I feel like I hit a wall once I get to the halfway point.

I did an 18.5 hour fast today and didn't even eat all my lunch so I am getting my appetite back under control which is super good! I am getting back to fasting daily and so far it seems that it has been doing me well. I am officially 1.6 pounds away from meeting my weekly goal of 8 pounds so looking forward to surpassing that goal!

Hope ya'll have a great night and I'll see ya'll tomorrow evening!

@Megan_smartiepants1970
Steps .. have no idea, my watch died today. If I was to guess, I would say around 1000, since I did NOT get on the treadmill and was working most of the day at my desk.

Okay I will put 1000 for your steps today

Over calories- stressful day at work - I eat when I’m stressed!
A long walk after a discussion with an irritating colleague helped a lot! Now I’m going to take a relaxing bath. I plan to have a better day tomorrow.

I hate to keep bugging you but I do not have steps for you for 10/25

My treadmill crapped out last night... A bit stressed. The company I purchased it from is not longer in business. Going to call the manufacturer, who is still in business, later today. I shall enjoy my cup of chamomile tea, and try to get some sleep.

You are doing so well with lowering your soda intake. I know how tough this one can be. I love flavour drops in my water also. It makes it go down so much easier. What flavours do you use?

I know I stress eat also. I am trying to find things I can do instead of eating. A suggestion that was given to me was to sit down and watch a comedy. I find this relaxes me and takes my mind off eating.

I have lost nearly 20 pounds to date and my breathing has improved. I'm starting to believe I have allergies to certain foods and that as I eat healthier (no sugar, no dairy and less wheat and pasta) I begin to have much better breathing and ability to walk further and be more active. Last night I had some pasta and cider and right away I felt worse. I think it's not just eating less, but eating healthier and being healthier. I'm looking forward to being stronger and fitter. Thanks.

You hit the nail on the head. During my appointment yesterday the dietitian told me it’s not all about calories but about choosing a variety and nutritious foods.

I hope you get your treadmill fixed. I have always thought about drinking chamomile tea. Do you find it helps?

Yesterday’s appointment with the dietitian went well. One thing she told me is to have faith as because I had such a long stretch of doing well with my binge eating there’s a really good chance it will improve overtime. She wants me to concentrate on ensuring that I am eating a variety of nutritious foods. I have to stop IF for awhile and make sure I am getting all my calories in during the day. It is going to be hard getting into a routine of eating breakfast again. I am never hungry in the mornings. It is without a doubt that stress has triggered the binge eating again. It’s been 3 months of one thing after another plus the underlining stress of the pandemic. She is also going to set me up with help for dealing with the stress. The dietitian is going to see me every few weeks. I have an appointment with my regular dietitian today. He is more of a resource for my diabetes.

I still haven’t called the gym but it is on my to do list for today. I think this is not going to be help with my fitness needs but a great stress relief also.

I really enjoyed reading your benefits of losing weight. Keep up the fight and continue to add to those benefits.

Goals this week
1. No binge eating/late night snacking
2. Sleep at least 7.5 hours
3. Stay within maintenance calories
