Greetings team!
Things are looking good this week - if the last few weigh-ins are OK, then we have improved some from last week. If not? We learned stuff!

Saturday weigh in
PW 195.1

Still not back where I was before my big gain week, but heading in the right direction. Went on an hour walk this morning with my friend. I still feel my metabolism up. It’s a cleaning/tidying kind of day.
Hope everyone makes it a good day.8 -
@jugar, I'm back!
It appears the holiday celebration I was going to have has been cancelled long before it even started. Looks like I'll be spending the holidays at home alone instead of with others. Bummer! 😟. I wish I'd found out before I mention anything on here. Oh well! Life goes on. 😊6 -

@micki48 and @MandiSaysHey Thanks for wishing me a nice holiday season, but plans got cancelled. Disappointed, but there's nothing I can do about it, just continue on here with my weight loss. 😊6

@travelingalone1
You know you are welcome and I'm glad you are sticking with it, and us. It is so hard to have the holiday plans go out the window, and many of us here will be missing family something terrible during the next couple of months. We'll help each other out, and keep on more than just our weight loss paths.

Well that was quite a Saturday so far! Our colourful bird visitors are still with us (unusually we have a red-bellied woodpecker here for the past week) and energies are kind of all over the place chez nous.
I went on a rant walk - as fast as I could for 5.5 miles - started off into the wind with light snow, but I was sure nice and warm by the time I turned around and the snow had stopped! Sometimes it just feels great to stomp along in the wind. I was happy to be greeted by one of my fave dogs on the way home. He is a gorgeous big kind of scary looking guy who is on guard but super friendly once he knows you're just passing by. I always like bumping into him for a quick moment.
Last 3 weigh-ins due for this week:
@krcapone78
@SMcFall0215
@spyro88
I forgot to mention it, but it's a good thing @travelingalone1 did not leave us after all - a 5 pound loss!!! We have a shot at the big time this week... Well done!6 -

Happy Saturday 😊
Today I participated in a calorie burn challenge for the weekend. I almost didn't do it because some people pledged like 3,000 calories 😳. But, I got over myself and pledged 600. I burned 540 today and tomorrow is my rest day. I will either take the dog for a short walk or play with the kids outside tomorrow. Maybe some people count the calories you burn just breathing and stuff. IDK🤔
Stayed in my calories and I am getting more protein in too. Went sledding with the kids and did a weight training session. Took my doggie for a walk on the logging roads on our place. At the bottom of the long hill, he saw deer at the top. So...I got a free tow to the top🙂 We have about 8 inches but it's melting. Made sugar cookies and decorated them with the kids! What a messy fun activity. Even doggie stole a cookie.

Steps for Saturday, 15,477.
I had a crappy, frustrating day. Hoping tomorrow is better. I typed a big update about it but my phone glitched and it didn't save and I'm too tired to type it all out again.6 -
I totally missed my weigh in yesterday.. partially because I was busy and partially because I had a gain AGAIN this week and I was to embarrassed to post it.. I keep telling myself I’m going to do better and yet I still seem to keep falling into the same ol slump.. it’s nobody’s fault but my own... we are staying with family while building and they do all the cooking and also bring in sweets daily.. the body and mind I’m in right now I just don’t have the strength to say No to my triggers... I lost 100 lbs by being strong and saying no and over coming my addiction to food.. In my current state I feel like I have “relapsed” I know when most think of addiction and relapse they think of drugs... my drug is FOOD... I feel like I have totally failed my self and I feel like I have failed you all.. I come here every week and post my weight just to watch it keep going in the wrong direction... I don’t know if I should take a backseat in the group to try to get my mind right or if I keep showing up here just to let all of us down... I truly feel like the past 2 months everything I have posted has been negative and I am NOT normally a negative person. I want my happy go lucky self back I want to get back on track I WANT the will power to say NOO! Please bare with me guys... I WILL get back to the good me. I just need to figure out how to get there first.. I really do appreciate y’all excepting me even in my worst moments.

Sunday
PW 62.9 kg
CW 62.7 kg
LTD 6.1 kg
- I couldn't drink 8 gls per day yet. I probably drop this goal for this month since not achieving to that goal is a new source of stress for me, and it is distracting me from staying in the valid range of calorie intake.
- Since doing stretch excercises are yet hard for me I started to do 3 sets of just 1 type of excercise per day (e.g. Monday just calf stretch, Tuesday just glute bridge ...) but I did also 6 hours of outdoor bike&walk.
- had no added sugar.
- had stress eating for more than 1350kcal for a few days but all from healthy options.5 -
@mickie48,
Saturday steps 26105, a killer day of raking leaves, dragging leaves and finishing up one client's garden for the season. I had enough calories to indulge in extra treats last night and still have a deficit. Today might be the same although it needs to warm up first, ice in the birdbath.
@jugar and @conleywoods - I will try to remember your marches through the snow when we finally get that weather - I'll dress for the occasion and get out there, not be a wimp. @conleywoods I would think the calorie challenge might be the overall calories used for the day (not just specific activities)?
@MandiSaysHey isn't that utterly frustrating? you lose all umph to write your post over again. I stick to the computer for this group and learned early on not to try to scroll back to other pages in the midst of a post.
@SMcFall0215 forget about a backseat...your posts are fine...we're here for the good AND the bad.
@mbakhtiaruz How much water were you aiming to drink per day? I also try to avoid added sugar - it is a big help that over here the nutrition labels now have Added Sugar on it.
Sunday ahead - more raking, more dragging leaves, and one more garden customer to finish up. Have a great day everyone!3 -

You can't leave! I don't care how much you have to gripe, complain, moan, groan - this is the time you need to just stick with us and ride it out. We can handle the rants, I assure you! Have a good hour or day whenever you can. We don't want just the "good you" - we'll take it all. You can't go back to the old you, though - have a talk with the family, give them a list of healthier treats just special for you, peel a grapefruit and eat it section by section, drink a glass of cold water very slowly. Use all your tricks, and if you still hit a trigger and lose it, well - you won't be waiting for your house to be built forever! You still only weigh 162.4 pounds. That's pretty danged good. If you put on a few, you can kick them to the curb later. But right now, I think you need to keep us in your back pocket 4 -
@SMcFall0215 I completely agree with @jugar! Don't leave us. Even sharing your negative thoughts is helpful to the rest of us because it makes us realize we're not alone in our negative thoughts when we have them. Too many people try to share only the glossiest parts of their lives online. The real you with all the real world struggles is who we need. I was in the same spot as you a year and a half ago. I'd dropped a bunch of weight on keto but then we put our house up for sale and I could no longer meal prep or cook large meals because the house had to be in show-room condition at all times. Flash forward to the house we moved to being in a constant state of renovation for the first year. I struggled and put back on a bit of what I'd lost, but now I've found this group and it helps me to feel that connection with those who have also struggled. You all make me want to be better, but also make me feel that I'm allowed to be human and have the right to be unhappy when things that are out of my control slow down my goals.
Even just venting your frustration should help make you feel better! Take the tips of the people who've been there in this group. Healthier snacks, refuse larger portions of certain meals.
You will be back to your positive self soon

@micki48 here are my steps from last week. I also had moderate level strength training on the following days
Wednesday 11/11: 45 minutes, core
Friday 11/13: 30 minutes, arms/core
Saturday 11/14: 20 minutes, legs
I had intentional exercise 5 days last week and it felt great. Such good stress relief! I also logged all my foods. Yesterday a friend and I went out for dinner and I picked a place that serves turkey burger on whole grain buns, and got a side salad instead of fries. Delicious and I didn't feel bloated or gross after.
