Omg how does the weight come back so fast? I went off on holiday for 2 weeks at 185lb comfortably in my goal zone .... did over 10 000 steps a day, 17,000 a couple of days! Logged all my food and kept my net calories at target ..... had 2 bad days on the way home with poor food choices (ie loads of carbs) and here i am back at 193.4lb 😪😪
I'm way out of the goal zone ! Move me back to the main team please .... and there i shall stay until i get under 180lb!!!
(Hoping it's loads of carb water weight!!)5 -

Where did this month go? Didn’t get the scale to budge but not giving up. I do better with changing one habit at a time until it’s automatic. This month I tried to focus on protein and fiber and eating the rainbow which may have been too much. Need to dial it back to one focus for May but which one? So far this month I’ve hit my protein goal 14 days and fiber only 5 days. Fiber needs more work but protein is closer to habit so I’m still debating. Any suggestions of the two or something completely different that you think would help?3 -

I think picking less goals is a great idea. With the veggies instead of the rainbow pick a number of servings of freggies. For me my goals have been sleep, logging, exercise and steps. This month I am concentrating on exercise and steps.PW:186.8

Exercise:
I can’t believe the May challenge is tomorrow. That means I need to get at least 2 days of exercise. I am aiming for Monday and Thursday. I am getting an injection in my spine on Thursday and I am not allowed in the pool for a few days after. I am heading out grocery shopping soon and then we are going to watch our granddaughters cheer. I haven’t seen this since Covid started so I am very excited. Go Royals!
Have a great Saturday!

No clue how this happened. I've been sick for two weeks solid so maybe not eating as much but definitely eating crap, not tracking, and not exercising! Lol.
I'm feeling mostly better except my voice still sounds terrible and my left ear remains clogged/under pressure feeling.
My garden is a wreck so after I finish my tea I am going to try to get it cleaned up for the season. Then I have tickets with a friend to an art opening at the botanical garden this afternoon. Still though, tons of chores around the house to get done. Next weekend I am back on the east coast for a memorial for my step mother and one for my uncle (same day!) Then 10 days later hubby and I are headed to England! We were supposed to go for my 40th birthday in 2020 but... COVID. So, we are finally making the trip.3 -

I am extremely proud of myself for achieving a loss this week!
I was planning to be accepting if I had to post a gain this week as long as I stayed under 150 pounds as I had 4 medical tests almost 2 weeks ago, including a biopsy, which I was told would likely give me symptoms for 3 to 5 days after and after 9 days not only had the symptoms not gone away but they amplified so I had to get in touch with the doctor who did the biopsy as well as a nurse called me a few times and I'm still dealing with the aftermath of all of this as it is ongoing. Once or twice I checked my weight this week and I was up so I'm proud of myself for working hard on my eating to get my weight back down (e.g., eating asparagus twice which I don't enjoy, eating salad numerous times which I'm not a big fan of, not binge eating unhealthy food for numerous days when I was housebound due to my health, walking twice one day to make up for the 2 days I couldn't walk due to my health).
After 3 weeks of gaining, I have now had SEVEN weeks of losing!
This is not something I ever thought I could accomplish, especially when my weight is getting lower down so I am really proud of myself.
Normally I go up and down on a regular basis so consistently going down, even just minuscule amounts makes me feel like my better choices. although difficult at times to make, are paying off.
Down 7.6 pounds in 5 weeks!
Down 21.8 pounds from my highest weight in 2016.7 -
@inshapeCK the streak continues! Woooo 🎉3

Just a heads up, we will be on a little trip next week so my numbers will likely be a little low. Also, my update to you will be dependent on internet access so I plan I sending updates to you whenever the opportunity arises (if the opportunity arises -- LOL)
