    I never Introduced myself either! I know we are into a new month together but I love your little intros guys, love to here from the new joiners too if you are willing.

    I'm Nicole, born in SA raised in the UK. I don't think I have ever dieted or lost weight on purpose before. This year I found out I had ADHD and fertility issues which started on my self proclaimed journey to find myself (I know how cliché and gross that sounds :lol:). I have lost my bum so you will hear me complain bitterly about it, probably multiple time.

    I don't think I would of stayed on track if it weren't for this forum and the members on here.

    If anyone else wants to join us on fitbit, it's been really nice having some goal days thrown into the week!

    Week 2 Day 1
    Tuesday 5th July
    Tracked: yes
    Under Calories: yes
    Exercise: Yes (35 mins of circuit training - cut short stretches due to unexpected visitor)
    Steps: 14,875

    Defo need to get more stretching in and do some more research on strengthening, not sure how effective what I am doing is correlating with my goals of a snatched waist and dumper truck so to speak. Anyone have any experiences with PTs? are they worth it or is google just as good?

    Hello! I am new to you guys this month. 5 years ago I was down to 170lbs due to healthy eating, tracking calories and walking…Due to stress, family health issues and just not caring I got up to 240lbs . Had a drs appointment in may and found out have high BP and triglycerides. Don’t want to have the same health nightmares my family has, that appointment gave me the kick I needed to get going again. Am 225lbs today, and am aiming to lose a pound a week and be back in wonderland by the end of the year. Am looking forward to the extra encouragement and inspiration will get from being a part of this challenge

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes
    Exercise: No- did get more steps than normal due to grocery shopping
    Goals/Day/Comments: Pretty good day today, had healthy breakfast, lunch, just bought healthy things at store and a new veggie to try(Jicama). I did get a slice of pizza for dinner from my favorite pizza place. Haven’t had them for months though and I didn’t get a whole pizza so I am calling it a good splurge :)

    ugh.. why do I eat when I’m not hungry?? Why eat a cold half eaten unappetizing totinos pizza? I’ve worked so hard, trying to break old habits for 5 years now and still I am triggered... even when I’m in a good headspace, ie. good sleep, no alcohol, happy in general, My daughter left her unfinished food on the table and there I go shoving it into my mouth while I clean up the kitchen. My parents old childhood mantras rear their ugly heads
    “Don’t waste food.”
    “Finish your plate if you want to get down from the table”
    Will I never fix this? Can’t I be stronger then the urge? I am certain I wasn’t hungry, I only wanted the satisfaction of finishing it. Can’t I just get a grip!?

    Welcome @KakoHikes , congrats on the loses already! I have similar with insulin issues running in the family and I know exactly what you mean.

    @Krysless2 I really struggled with that one too, especially when my parents first immigrated we were probably below the poverty line and from a third world country to boot so the waste not, want not ran deep for me (unless I got the ick from eggs). The only thing that helped me was someone telling me that garbage cans exist and our bodies aren't for food waste. I say this when I have the ultimate hack, 2 dogs who will steal any leftovers before you get to throw them away.

    Week 2 Day 2
    Wednesday 7th July
    Tracked: yes
    Under calories: yes
    Exercise: yes (extra long walk)
    Steps: 15,531

    I can feel my NHS top 20 most painful chronic illness kicking in today, so I am going to be taking it easy just because I'm not in the mood to aggravate my hips. I worked through it last month, in part because I forgot what it was and I was super motivated in the haze of shiny and new workout :lol:. In previous fitness explorations this would really get me down that I wasn't willing to just deal with it when sometimes I can. I am trying to be better to myself, not beat myself up for not being mentally able to deal with what feels like my hips grinding together ready to pop out of the sockets, I wouldn't judge anybody else like that. Time to focus on what I can do today not what I managed to do last month.

    (Please don't worry about me, this is a thing I made peace with a long time ago. However, I will say they way woman are treated in medicine is barbaric (in my experience in the UK and those I have also read here))

    Week 1 Day 2
    Wednesday 7th July
    Tracked: yes
    Under calories: yes
    Exercise: yes

    Indoors bike trainer. We are still hot outside, and I didn’t get up early enough to catch the morning coolness.

    @Krysless2 I put things in the freezer for similar reasons. What’s there now, for example, is 1/4 of an apple pie….leftovers from last weeks trip. Same same, we had years growing up we didn’t have enough to eat. I like NRTyremans garbage comment…so true. Us eating it won’t “save the starving children” and we aren’t waste containers. In solidarity, and on behalf of all of us, I solemnly swear to put it in the garbage as soon as I finish typing this. Nah, I’ll do it now….done. Wow, that was surprisingly difficult 🙄

    @NRTyreman, sorry you are feeling badly, hope you feel better soon.

    Week 1 Day 5 (so confused @Krysless2, is this right?)
    Thursday 8th July
    Tracked: yes
    Under calories: yes
    Exercise: yes

    Another indoors day. There was no morning coolness to catch. On the plus side, I’m actually entertained by my indoor training, so I’ve managed to keep it up. Drove past one of the gyms…getting closer :smile:

    @NRTyreman congratulations on managing to keep your steps up even if it must have been difficult. Tough as nails.

    Hi guys,
    I am sorry I bagged out last month - we were away for three weeks most of it in the car driving. I dont think I am in this group, or any group, this month - how would I find out? I may just have to wait till august to jump in but I am back on track after a 5lb gain on our trip! Ugh.

    My daily posts will start up next week. The first 2 days this week I wasn't online much, could barely get my foods logged half the time due to spotty wifi/service.

    Happy Friday! I hope you all had a good week. <3

    Is it fine to post these the next day or is better to post them on the actually day itself in the evening?
    Week 1, Day 5
    Thursday 07/08
    Tracked: Yes
    Under calories: Yes
    Exercise: Yes, 40 minutes ring fit adventure
    Yesterday went pretty well for being called in to work on my day off. If I can call it being called in with still working at home. Had dr's appointment in afternoon, meeting a new PCP. I liked her and thankfully she didn't think I needed to be on meds for my BP or triglycerides yet, said as long as I kept up the good work eating healthier and exercising both should get better on their own.

    Anybody here morning exercisers? How did you start? Forgot bring up the garbage last night so hurried and did it before work. It felt so nice outside and I wanted to go for a walk. Waking up early is difficult for me, even with going to bed sooner, and in the next month I'll have to allow even more time in mornings as will have to work in office again.

    Hi @KakoHikes! I’m an early morning exerciser, so you’ll see me post right after @NRtyreman, who is earlier than me :smile:

    I like exercising I’m the morning because my brain hasn’t woken up enough to argue about it too much. Plus there’s not much better in life than a pot of coffee before you and your exercise behind you. I started out super slow, built up over time. It’s been kinda crazy how much more you can do over time if you keep it up…almost without even noticing!

    @alpdexplorer, @Waifer003 and @NRTyreman are the walkers amongst us, that I’ve met so far at least. They are awesome, so you’d be hanging with the best :)

    Week 1 Day 6
    Friday 9th July
    Tracked: yes
    Under calories: yes
    Exercise: yes

    Finally got to ride outside again. And passed two unbelievably cute fawns on the way. Poor guys were on the other side of the path by themselves, and finally figured it out and ran back into the trees just before I got there.

    My issue with the scale is finally resolving itself. I was close to giving up at times (thanks for being here, all of you) but sticking with the plan regardless of the bleeping bleep scale numbers has paid off this week.

    I always post the morning after. I usually forget in the evening.

    Uffda, I wish I could work out in the a.m. I already have to get up around 545am for work. I couldn't imagine getting up earlier than that. LOL. It's super gorgeous outside in the morning though. I am an evening walker. I take my nap after work and then I'm usually walking anywhere between 7 and 8pm. I feel it's the next best time to walk. It's cooler than it would be in the afternoon/early evening.

    Good luck on the early morning walks. I'm sure once you get in a routine it will get easier every day.

    Atta girl. Yes, don't let the scale bring you down! There's always inches lost and that doesn't show you scale-wise. Keep at it!
