To be honest, it’s always frustrating to see the scale go back up even though I know it’s part of this game. Right now I should realize that I’m taking baby steps toward getting back into the habit of logging every day. I’m not so worried about going over my calories right now, it’s about getting back into it.
This morning I ate the rest of the pumpkin roll from Thanksgiving and I thought… “well I blew it for the day!” Then I logged it as breakfast and felt better. One misstep does not ruin everything! Log it, count it, and move on.
Progress…not perfection…is the goal.

Feeling great!!
My hubby and I did a road trip yesterday to pick up my daughter’s bike at college, since it’s getting too cold for her to ride it. I didn’t drink a ton of water since we were in the car for 2 hours each way, so I drank more when we got home. Today I feel thirsty.

Thank you JM!
Glad to hear you are feeling great! How do you figure out how much water you should intake a day?
Today I'm headed to the library to pick up a book I have on hold 🙂. Its gotten super cold today, so I'll probably walk in the house.
I'm trying to get back in the habit of moving daily!0 -

I did a quick Google search with how much water should I drink each day based on weight. 💦 I have not gotten close yet.😊1 -

It’s been so busy at work and at home… but it’s been nice to take a moment for myself and time to catch up with logging.

Hi Everybody!! Currently sitting at my HIGHEST WEIGHT ever: 232 lbs. Started TODAY 100% no more excuses. I'm going to see how much I can accomplish now until March. And then again March - July!
No matter what, I'm going to stick to 1500-1600 calories a day. I'd like to do a minimum of 30-40 minutes of exercise, take my vitamins, and drink at least 1 gallon of water a day because I know ALL of these things will help. But at a MINIMUM......sticking to my calories no matter what! Excited to be here!! 0 -
Hi, Jill. I would like to join your group. I am in the neighbourhood of my highest weight ever. I have seen 211, I was 208 when we came back from Vegas two and a half weeks ago and on Sunday I weighed in at 204.6. I am on day three of logging my food. I am also trying to remember my supplements and get in my 10 glasses of water. My goal is 10,000 steps a day, preferably with a purposeful walk involved but as long as I am moving, I will take 10K any way I can get it.1

Yes definitely me!!1

Tuesday was another good day. I went for a 32 minute walk, took all my supplements and drank my 10 cups of water. At work I was using a computer in a vacant office and it happens to be the same office where Christmas treats are made available to all the staff. There was an opened box of chocolates, and I didn't have a single one. I opened the box at least three times and peaked, but I would have had to guess on the calories and that held me back. I also was aware that I am just restarting my journey, and a decadent treat like that might lead to a mini binge of more than one, even if I only intended on taking one. And thirdly, I decided that the chocolate was not a unicorn....I know where to find more if I decide that I really really want one!3

Well I am at 250 pounds and on a plant based program. No animal products, whole foods, no sugar due to a stroke,diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Making changes is simpler when suddenly it is life or death. Not worried about death, but disability or ending up in a care facility is not appealing! Two hundred here I come...5

I'm up 2 pounds this week. Seriously hoping it is bloating! I started a new job Monday and walked around the office a bit yesterday. Will walk again today!0
