Yay!! Hit the 10# mark since I started in May! Clothes are definitely less tight and I have much more stamina on my walks. This next week will be a challenge as we will be staying in a hotel with only a mini fridge. Eating healthy will take some planning and I need to get on that.

Good Monday morning everyone!
I am so close to my goal weight of 135, but I can't seem to quite get there. Two times in the last two weeks I've gotten down to 136, but I've climbed back up to 137.4 as of this morning. The only upside is that my body fat percentage continues to fall. I take that measurement with a grain of salt, as I don't think its that accurate, but I prefer it going down rather than up.
I look back on my intake and know exactly what I'm doing wrong. Going to try to be extra disciplined this week and hope I beat the scale this week!6 -

It's water weight and swelling. Left knee and ankle is really swollen and painful. Lots of humidity and summer is in full swing here with high Temps. I'll be calling my orthopedist for some advice.9 -

Hi SS... You have another new member joining your awesome team ... Please welcome @cortexarticle8797 5

I’m reading a new book called “The slow af run club” and thought it was pretty insightful. We may have days where we get in our own heads and think negative thoughts. This is a reminder that even if your moving differently than others, you are moving and that’s a good thing!
“The body that you have today is the body that you have today. You can do only what you can do today. You can’t worry about yesterday, ten years ago, or the point at which you were your smallest (or heaviest) in high school. We need to focus only on the present moment. That doesn’t mean that it will be the same tomorrow, next week, or next month. You have to work through the guilt, shame, and whatever other feelings you have around this.“5 -

Just a recommendation, go back to pg one of this chat thread and read our FAQ file which should answer a lot of your basic questions. Anything not found there, just ask in the chat and someone is bound to chime in. Can't wait to celebrate your milestones with ya!! Good luck in July!

Thank you! It is mainly my diet - what I am eating and when I am eating. I have been checking ingredients on foods I buy/consume. Most meals have been made at home. I'm making efforts to stay hydrated and being aware if what I am feeling is hunger, thirst, or tiredness. I knew that I could confuse hunger and thirst. Something I learned about myself is that I can reach for food when I am exhausted. I recently bought a new smartwatch - a Garmin. It has this Body Battery feature. I recall one day a few weeks ago, I felt exhausted. The body battery on the Garmin was at 5 (that is the lowest it goes for me so far). I finished watering my garden - it was late evening. There were still a few chores I wanted to do before bed. Then I thought, 'I'm hungry.' I caught myself eating mindlessly - probably past the serving size. My curious mind went online and I did some reading on body signals on being tired vs hungry. Mind blown. So now when I'm feeling hungry, I reflect on what my body needs: water, rest, or food.
I appreciate your positive words because when I looked at my numbers, I thought to myself they would better and at my goal if I was more active and hitting my exercise goals. I'll get there. Work in progress. Progress > Perfection.
I've got to give myself grace and be happy for the small changes I've made. I am finding balance in overcoming my procrastination (ie pushing myself), coping with my health challenges, and getting proper rest.5 -

Unfortunately, we've had more forest fire smoke the past few days and more is coming this week, so we haven't been outside much and my steps are lower. I did a step class on youtube yesterday to try to get some steps in and I have hockey indoors tonight.5 -
