Sorry! Yesterday morning was super busy. I did weigh in:

PW 126.8
CW 127.2
Is previous weight our starting weight, or the weight from the previous week?
I still have not found my motivation... I always wake up every morning really motivated, and then somewhere between 2:00-6:00 PM it all goes out the window. I'm pretty happy with my current weight, too, so that is part of the problem. Why lose those last few pounds when I'm close enough? But, I do want to lose a few more. It would put me in the middle of my Normal BMI, and I would like the way my clothes fit better. Here is my new goal: to pre-log my afternoon/dinner food every morning or the night before.
Previous weight is the week before. How much more weight do you want to lose? I understand how you feel. My family doctor doesn’t want me to lose more but I know my clothes would fit better with another 10 pounds. Also, it will make a big difference in my back pain. Those last 10 ponds I lost made such a big difference in my body shape and pain. Back to you, have you thought about maintaining for awhile and seeing how you feel? I started maintaining and then made the decision to lose more. Then went back to maintaining. Who knows, eventually I may decide to lose 5 or 10 pounds more.
Your goal is an amazing one. I have pre logged my food for a long time. Sometimes I log a week in advance as I make a menu each week. I come to the group for the most part everyday. Before I enter the community I log my food for the day.
Thanks! I'm not entirely sure how much more I want to lose, but I think about 3-4 pounds more. It's been a slow loss with lots of breaks, so I'm inclined to just keep going and get to goal. I like your idea of maintaining for a while and then lose a little more if necessary.
Today and yesterday went very well; I pre-logged and successfully got through the 2-6PM window. I've never considered logging a week in advance; thanks for that idea. I always do meal planning every Monday, so it's doable. Except for our frequent Sunday potlucks, and when my mother-in-law occasionally makes dinner for us. Those are hard!
How do you all log something like a potluck lunch?0 -

Potlucks are tricky to log. I try to keep a mental note of what I ate and log it. It is not accurate. You will find entries for potluck in the app but I prefer to try and log it best I can. I go to a monthly potluck.1 -

Look at that. New decade and lowest weight in 4 years. Great job! Do you have a plan for the week to keep your momentum going?
What are you planning on doing this week to get the results you want?

I would say last week was a sucesss. I am in maintenance range and met all my goals. Off to have breakfast with all the family except my daughter. She is on nights so she is sleeping.
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

This is a wonderful NSV. Are you still exercising in the mornings? Hope you are feeling better?

Great loss. Have you thought about switching to a Sunday weigh in? Even if your weigh in is a day or two late you will count towards getting yourself in the top three.0 -

I had to walk around the apartment to get to my step goal. I had trouble sleeping so I ended up with an extra 500 steps. I wanted ice cream so I did loops around the apartment to avoid the cravings. Of course I ended up getting up late as I was so tired. It’s the family day holiday. We did our breakfast out with all the family minus my daughter yesterday. She is on nights so she was sleeping. It was a nice time. My husband is off today so we have some things planned for today. I will probably take today as my day not to reach my step goal.
Happy Family Day to all my Ontario teammates!

@lindamtuck2018 What a nice idea for a holiday. Glad you enjoyed time with all the family. Is your daughter in the healthcare field (so she has to work night shifts)?0
