Post a quote to get our month started.

Good Morning Downsizers!

I used to have this all or nothing mindset. If I ate a package of cookies on Tuesday the whole week was blown and I’d continue to eat all I could until starting fresh again on Monday. Now each morning I set the intention to do my best. My best isn’t necessarily perfection but knowing I’m doing my best to make good choices throughout the day. It’s also okay to have a cookie or two. They aren’t evil and can be worked into your plan. The longer I’m on this journey I’m finding it’s much more mental for me. Hope you all have an amazing week!

I use to do that very same thing!!! I would start on Monday and if I screwed up I would then the week would be blown.
I'm learning... definitely a mindset!!!
Best of luck on your journey 🧡

Weigh In Day: Sunday , april 2md
PW (Previous Weight): 151.5 lb
CW (Current Weight): 146.6 lb

Hello everyone and welcome new members.

Last week I followed a high protein diet, that helped me to shed some pounds. It was another stressful week too, so I don't know how much it interfered with my metabolism.

I wish a good week for everyone.

Wow, what a result! Great numbers!

What's up squad? Happy Monday!

Super inspirational reading through everyones posts. Even when yall have a "low day" with your steps, its still remarkable to me. I am not really mobile right now, but feel like that is going to change as I continue with physical therapy and shed some lbs.. I currently can make it from one room to another, so I have chairs strategically placed in each room.

That said, I would like to start keeping track of my steps, but am not sure what to buy. Is anyone familiar with a myfitnesspal compatible tracker that has an option to purchase larger wrist bands? From what I have read fitbit no longer makes xl bands.

A quick intro-
I'm Jen (42) in Santa Fe, NM. I live with my hubby and cat. Weight has crept up over the years, in grad school, with stressful health and family situations, I have some chronic health issues and have been on some form of steroids for years. I'm also 5' tall and I like to eat sooo... Anyway, lately I have been focusing on eating more (vegan) protein and lifting weights to improve my health.

Guilty🫣 on the positive side some food things aren’t necessarily all “bad” such as special ingredients for a healthy new recipe or enjoying a new restaurant (we rarely eat out). I also love kitchen gadgets so tools that will help me make healthier meals. I really want a Ninja Creami but that may be too tempting. Team what are some rewards you have? What milestones do you reward? Do you reward for both scale and NSV milestones?

I set up a good amount of milestone rewards for scale victories (since i have a long journey down the scale😅).. some of the things on the list- new clothes, new shoes, pedometer, new exercise/kitchen equipment, and (farrrrr down the road) a small vacation.

I had pizza on the list, but this quote put me in check lol

Fab rewards Nacho! Hope having a list helps motivate. I need to revisit my list. I know health and fitness and energy are the best rewards but sometimes that more tangible item is that extra push. Can’t wait to hear about your new clothes and equipment and vacation! If Pizza is your thing, maybe a little pizza oven to make homemade pizzas or a gourmet pizza kit. Pizza can be a healthy option. As for activity trackers, you may be able to find larger replacement bands or band extenders on Amazon. Best of luck on your Journey! You’ve got this Nacho!
