My God have I ever not wanted to work out lately. No reason in particular, I just don't want to. It's starting to get nice out so I can finally move my runs outside which should get my interest up again, but lately I just don't want to. I'm still running and lifting 5 days a week but man lol I really dread that alarm waking me up at 630am to go to the gym.
I hear you on the exercise. At least your still going. That’s impressive. Do you want to lower your bottom number on the weight loss range?SW 630

Well yall... I'm getting there! I had a 599 lb goal reward of a fitbit, and I figured - eh close enough. lol. Cracked open the new fitbit and will hopefully be able to use that as motivation to get around the house more. I've already been more active than I was before joining here, but it will be nice to see a number that I can build off of. Some solid victories lately with wait, activity/energy, and getting outside even just to sit or drive. Appreciate yall so much. Onward to the 500s!
Congrats! It’s great that you are seeing pay offs from the weight loss!

At first I was disappointed but this is actually a win. I was shedding water weight all week. There are certain things I eat that make me retain water for days. Ham being one of them so I only have it occasionally. Also, when stressed in the past I would stuff my face with junk food and gain a ton of weight. I fought the food demons this week well. My average calories for the week was actually less than the previous. I will be posting a loss next week.
Happy FriYAY!

Question:
Does anyone work on calorie average for the week? I have done this in the past with success so I am going to try it again.0 -

Finally back on track and doing really good this week with weight loss.
I've been staying within the (I.F) window that I've set for myself, and working on eating in moderation and to eat only when I'm truly hungry.
I've been more faithful to following this plan this week which I feel good about. I really don't get hungry doing it this way. I'm concentrating more on living a more healthier life style and this motto " Eat To Live and not Live To Eat" which has been the opposite for me most of my life.
I use food as a crutch for boredom or emotional eating for multitude of reasons, including as a reward. I'm learning there is more to life than food and now at my age I'm paying the price for years of thinking this way. However, this stops here and now. I plan to work harder to get the excess pounds off, because as I get older it's only going to get harder to take it off and it would be so nice to be able to move more freely without the excess pounds hindering me.
Also, it's awesome that there's a place like MFP where there are such great people from all different kinds of walks of life from around the world and we all have different outlooks and we can learn from one another.
I find this such a great concept and I'm appreciative that I can be here.
Thank you everyone, Karly

Pretty nice NSV today
When I started 14 months ago I wore a XXXL shirt and today I fit into a Large7 -
Lol so today I was at the Mall buying baseball cleats and I was walking by stores whose clothes I can fit into but I kept wondering if those stores are too "young" for me cause it's been so long since I could shop at normal people stores.
I was looking into the stores seeing how old the people shopping were haha5 -

Well that was a nice surprise...I didn't expect those results but I am feeling great. I'm on a fasting site and I'm doing a three day fast next Monday with a friend. Next weeks weigh in will not be accurate since I will be on my last day!
Fantastic loss! I'm gong to try longer fasts when I get back from vacation! I do 20/4 when dieting and moved to 18/6 on maintenance
Thank you, I'm doing a 3 day right now!!4 -

Lots of treading water for me the last few weeks and it's my birthday today so another tricky couple of days with fun meals out to navigate but at least holding solid and the general verrrrry slow trajectory is down!5
