Helloooooo...tap, tap, tap...is this thing on...?

I am re- emerging from a couple of weeks of being severly under the weather and it is indeed very quiet.

@Krysless2 I don't understand why we force feed. I did it last night. I really thought I wanted More of something and when I got it on my plate I was like meh but it was tasty and it is already here, I should eat it. Once I start that it doesn't stop.

My scale finally went down again after Sunday and Valentine’s Day shenanigans. I’m back to my pre-Super Bowl weight. Yay! I’m happy. So I’m hoping more weight loss for my Saturday weigh in!! I can’t wait to say I am in 230s. 🤪

@melissan84
You're doing awesome. You'll be there soln I have no doubt.

Thursday Feb 17 (week 3 day 5)

✔️Track: Yes
✔️ Under Calories: yes
✔️ Exercise: off day due to work.
✔️ Water: yes

I worked so no workout as 13 hours on my feet and moving/transferring patients all day is enough work. 😆 but was in point on everything else

Going to gym soon. I am hoping to see weight go down tomorrow. Weight literally has been the same up & back down 0.5 lbs. 🥺😵‍💫
But hey I have officially lost 8 lbs in one month. I have to be proud of that. Even though I do see where I lost it. Trying to stay positive. I didn’t build this body in one month so I’m not going to lose it either.

@melissan84 don't get disappointed, 8 lbs in one month is great!! Some weeks are bound to be better than others, you just have to trust the process. Keep up the great work!

We are leaving for holidays on Sunday. It will be challenging to eat well in the car - 13 hr drive! But I am planning on bringing some cut veggies.

I'm going to weigh in on Sunday, a day early because I will have no scale until we are back late Friday night.

I’m not even gonna lie, this past month has been all over the place for me! I’ve been having a hard time getting myself back focused into losing weight again. It’s like I’m making every excuse 😭

Today, I’m breaking the cycle! I hate how I feel right now and that’s what initially why I started losing weight in the first place.

Plus I miss all you guys! I hope everyone is having a good February! 😊

@rawrxamberx we missed you too Amber. What's done is done, learn from it then put it behind you and move on. today is a new day.

Hi
No loss thus week.

CW: 168.7

@melissan84 there are any number of reasons why you may have lost only 1/2 pound (water retention, high carb or sodium meal the day before, TOM, etc) but 1/2 pound is still a loss. Do not discount it!

While exercise helps, and is great for you to boot, know that weight loss is 99% diet. I haven't looked at your diary so don't know what it looks like but the sayings "you can't outrun a bad diet" and "abs are made in the kitchen not the gym" are around for a reason. I say this with great affection as I see how hard you've been working and don't want you to be discouraged.

I have learned a lot on this app. If you have some time scroll through the Health and Fitness and/or the Diet and Exercise forums and read a few that start with "I've been dieting and exercising and haven't lost any weight" you'll find a wealth of information in the replies. Pay special attention to any post by AnnTP77, she always has very well thought out and informative responses. I'd post a couple of links but am on my phone and can't leave this page. ☹️

Lastly, enjoy the heck out of your cruise 🛳️ !! I am leaving for New Orleans tomorrow myself. I'm not even going to try to eat healthy TBH as I'm sure one biegnet will throw me over my carb and fat count for the day. I will be walking 🚶‍♀️ about 10 miles a day (Fitbit challenge anyone? 😂) so I hope that will ease some of the damage. The rest I'll deal with when I get home.

Have a great day and know that you are doing great. Trust the process. 🥰

Weigh in for Monday
Cw 175

I'm a daily weigher. I didn't change all week! Exactly 175. So no loss for me. I've been Under in my calories everyday, but I have been snacking on chocolate. So this week I'll try to cut back a bit. @DaffyGirl88 you can't outrun a bad diet should be my manta!
