Hi everyone,
Wow, I can't believe we're already in September.
My name is Irene, 45 years old. I'm originally from the Netherlands, but I've lived in Denmark since 2012.
I've lost a great deal of weight before using weightwatchers, via a dietitian, and this group (back in 2018). Then life happened. Stress from a bad work situation and then starting a new job, which I love, but which was also stressful in the beginning with a lot of new things.
At the end of June, I decided it was time to prioritize myself again, so I joined this group again
My main triggers are stress and boredom and I'm still working on getting that under control.
I enjoy walking outside, but I do have a treadmill for those cold rainy days and a weight lifting machine at home. I look forward to some colder weather, as it's been way too hot to use the treadmill at home.
In November my sister and I are going to Malta to surprise our mom for her 70th birthday, so I've set a goal for myself to lose 21 pounds by November 24th. I realize it's an optimistic goal, but we'll see what happens.
My goal for September is to lose at least 7 pounds.

My steps for last week
28/8 8069
29/8 3631
30/8 4917
31/8 6126
1/9 2313
2/9 4027
3/9 5404
Not a very good week in terms of steps, but I was too tired to go for a walk after work this week (is been a crazy week at work) and it was way too hot in the house to use the treadmill. Hopefully it cools down soon.4 -

Whew!!! I wasn't sure if I was going to squeak in under the 230 mark but it looks like all of the exercise and restraint paid off. Friday night was drinking and appetizers at a friends house for the Indiana - Illinois football and Cardinals baseball games. On Saturday it was The Ohio State - Notre Dame football and Cardinals baseball games at a local sports bar (with more drinking and bar food - I did choose a salad (but only after splitting nachos with my wife). Sunday was the big dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak House for my parents 56th anniversary. Had I not put in the extra exercise this week, I'm sure I would have busted the 230 level which I crossed over only 1 of the last 7 days. It's going to take a while but staying in 220's puts me back to where I was in June - now I just need to keep it going - and maybe be a little less sociable with all the Fall sports get togethers.2 -

Dancing off those pounds! You are getting close to a new decade.
Weight loss is never a straight line. The downward trend is important. Yours is definitely going down with almost 14 pounds lost in August.Hi, everyone!. Happy Sunday.

Nice exercise day. Hope the heat breaks for you soon. I have the air conditioning off finally but will have to turn it back on this afternoon. Hopefully we see some nice fall weather soon.fatfifties wrote: »Fatfifties Monday weigh in
