Under Calorie Yes
Water 128oz
Steps 9010
Exercise 45min walking video

I think I'm gonna do today as a rest day. The walking video I did yesterday went well but all the different moves made me aware of how sore my muscles really are from all these days in a row. I need a full recovery day or I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up the exercise for the coming week.

A little while back I posted I was setting a mini goal of getting below 200lbs by the end of the year. I don't usually set goals by certain dates but I'm just hoping it will help keep me accountable during the holidays. A holiday is one day, not a license for a 3 month free for all like I've treated it in the past. I know if I continue the way I have been, I can make it. The last time my weight started with a 1 I think I was 12.

That’s a great goal and totally achievable by year end. I would like to get to the 170s by year end. I agree that setting a goal will help increase the accountability through the holidays.

So I haven't done my 3rd walk, and the weather is poopy. BUT IMMA DO IT ANYWAY. I'm just going to do laps around the parking lot for a km or 2. or just around the block. But I am determined.

This week coming I am going to work on my time-management. Tuesdays are usually good for a walk, wednesday I have to get 4 fillings done So maybe Thursday and Saturday.

So Imma go walk, and probably get blown away in the process haha

That being said... I just checked my weight before my shower this evening and it states now 209. Not sure what happened in the last 24 hours... but heck I will take that. I wonder if my calories is correct or not. It seems like if I go over in my calories I loose.

Our weight fluctuations can be so weird sometimes! I’ll never understand it. I always try to figure out what I did to make it go up or down and what not but it’s never really what I think. I can randomly gain 5 Lbs and then lose them again whithin the day. All I know is that sodium and how much water I drink does change it up more often than not.


@mari_moulin ... I do the same thing... always trying to figure out what I did different. The only thing I can think of is in addition to eating as normal I added some protein drink within my day along with mixing in some flax seed and chia seeds, which was what took me over my calories. I am going to continue with the protein drink and add some apple cider vinegar with water at least once a day, I'm going to try for 3 times a day, I have done it in the past and it really does make me feel better, but is rough on my teeth, even using a straw. I have the apple cider vinegar pills but they don't seem to have the same effect on me as the actual apple cider vinegar.

Sorry about that. I always use my previous post to post the daily weight reminders. I didn’t backspace your name off. As for the wrong username you blame that on fat fingers. 😝 Thanks for reposting. Do you weigh in the evenings everyday? Sometimes weight fluctuations can be hard to explain. Saturday my weight was down and I went way over my daily sodium limit the day before. Usually I am up 2 or 3 pounds the next day.

@lindamtuck2018
I weigh myself all throughout the day, my official weigh in time is mornings though.

Sodium is killer for me. it makes me retain water like crazy. I swear, since I cut out fast food completely, I have lost over 20lb in the last month ALONE. I am sure that's mostly water because my weight loss as slowed some.

I am super sensitive to salt, I get leg cramps and everything. So the only thing I put salt on is my eggs in the morning, and it's only a teeny pinch. And I like soy sauce on certain things. But I gotta be extra careful with that.

There's also a lot to be said for "eating more to lose more" But it is tricky business.

When I did Slimming World in 2011, for about 3 weeks I wasnt losing. Maybe the odd 1/2lb but I had my first ever gain after about 5 months and it drove me crazy. I tracked my food and showed it to my consultant (Like a WW leader) and she looked at it for maybe 5 seconds? and she said "you're not eating enough. Eat more"

I was in a restriction phase so it was hard, but I ate more. From like 900 cal to probably 1500, not changing any exercise or anything, and I lost about 5lb that next week. it's crazy how it works

Morning all,

Here for Monday check in. Anyone else feeling like you blink and before you know it it's another new week and the days just blur and blend into one? Feeling that a lot lately. I managed to get in some walking on Friday but apart from that, not much else.

With me dancing around with same few pounds, there has been a little voice this week thinking, why not just start afresh in January as we are close to the end of year. But no, I am a fighter and I know I have the opportunity to lose more weight before the end of year. I would be more annoyed with myself in comparison to trying to lose another few and losing some but maybe not quite meeting my goal.

Within this week I need to get back into meal planning and choosing healthier snacks. With being in the house all day, it's more difficult to resist the temptation of household foods. I know deep down I have the capability to get back to the mindset I was in. Anyone else finding when Friday and Saturday comes around, there's extra temptation to have takeaway as like a end of week social family thing? We didn't have it for months with places being closed but with things opening up in the last few months (i.e drive thrus, collections only), it's possible again and a habit that I need to get a hold of as despite it tasting nice in the moment, there's the cost and eventual weight gain implications from it.

I have a 2.5 hour exam coming up next week so trying not to get too stressed out about it.

As I read what I've wrote, whilst things seem dull and down, I can feel a inner fighting voice still there which is important rather than giving up totally. I'm excited to see where the weight loss will be this time next year, an exciting prospect indeed!

Hi big family!

I hit my 5 points Sunday too.

-1 point -> for sitting while eating. ✅
-1 point-> for making a list. I made a list of things that can improve my life if I lose weight. ✅
-1 point-> for my song workout. I danced freely in front of the TV with music. ✅
-1 point-> for my 2 L water. ✅
-1 point->for tracking everything. ✅

Now, I must say that as soon as the weekend challenge was gone aka this morning, I found myself eating the fruit while cleaning Meeeeeec!
Yesterday my girlfriend bought herself a FitBit and it has soooo many things. I must admit I was a bit jealous. She was telling me how good it would be for me with all those challenges. And they give you badges. I'm really bad to those things. I love to see that I get a star or a heads up or something for my effort. I guess I never received that when I was a kid for doing something good and I sort of needed now
My legs are quite in pain, mostly my right leg, but I really wanna continue pushing.

Today I am in 133,5 kg = 294.3 lbs A bit better than last week.
My steps from yesterday 9.299 steps

@jugar
Thanks for your reply about the grains. I don't honestly miss them very much, so I think it's probably okay that I don't eat them much anymore. Sometimes they might be soup I eat or something like that, but not really otherwise. I think you are right that you can get your carbs from other things that are probably better for you like veggies and legumes.
