I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.7 -
I'm Crystal! 40 yrs old, wife and mama of 3 (ages 14, 13 & 5)! I counted calories about 5 yrs ago and got down to goal weight. Life got in the way and I stopped being mindful and gained it all back. What I've realized from then to now, is that this truly is a lifestyle. I can't eat any way I want and expect to keep the weight off. At the moment I'm doing OMAD (Started Feb 5th). I'm unsure if I'll stick with this my whole journey or if I'll add another meal for 2 meals a day. I'm also trying to keep my calories still within the 1200 range and watching sugar and carbs. I feel so much better since I've cut back on everything. Once I do get to goal weight, of course I will add some calories back in to maintain.

I forgot to weigh myself until I’d had coffee and a big glass of water, so I’ll let it go for today. It’s my Monday lunch out with a friend day, so I skipped breakfast and won’t have much dinner. Hard to believe it’s the last week of February!

~ I was good all day until my husband wanted pizza. I usually go nuts and eat with my eyes but I didn’t this time.
~ I’m still surprised this isn’t higher.. but maybe I have been given some grace here. I did put a rule in place, which was to stop eating when I was full last night. Maybe that was it..

I need to be honest with myself. I haven't been calorie counting. No matter how many meals I have, I still need to calorie count because my calories tend to creep up over time. I haven't been getting 22 active minutes per day but I have been reaching my weekly active minutes target. I need to ensure I get at least 22 minutes per day no matter what the weather. I have an elliptical machine and I need to use it when the weather stops me from my daily walk. I need to acknowledge that to progress I need to be calorie counting and hitting my daily 22 active minutes per day.

your post really caught my eye. Mostly because the words “I need to” are very triggering for me.
I read in a book somewhere to change your words you can change your mindset. Instead of “I have to” say “I want to” or instead of “I need to” say “I get to” or another suggestion is “I’m the type of person that does this” (ie. step-climbs for 22 minutes)
I think it was a book called “4-Day Win” She suggests creating good habits by doing something for 4 days in a row. You change from someone who tried running once or twice, to a person who would be observed as “oh that’s Krystal. She’s a runner!”
Now that I think back, that book gave me a lot of tools to get myself to start walking when I was 200+ plus pounds. I may have to blow the dust off and give it another read.6 -

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 252 (my 182nd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going, so grateful.
Goals for this round; to lose! Scale has been a bit erratic the previous round, obviously reflects rate of consistency (or not!). Must concentrate on consistency in the next round, really want to get back down especially as at the moment the choice of my clothes that comfortably fit is limited, do not want to have to buy a bigger size!! And to break the “always looking for something to put in my mouth” syndrome!
Good luck everyone for a successful round.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

Hi! My name is Teresa and I am a 42 year old mom to 3, wife and accounting controller. I am committing to the next 10 days because I can! No little lies to myself anymore! I have been on this journey for almost a year and have lost 40 pounds and so many inches. I'm proud of where I came from but I know I can break through this plateau and reach goals!

It is beautiful out today so I will be going for a nice walk with my dog and some friends after work. We just got done with basketball season and waiting for track to start so I am going to take advantage of slower evenings!

Random stuff about me:I am 59 years old this month (ouch). I currently live in Texas with my hubby and crew of kitty babies. I am a neonatal nurse practitioner and work 24hour shifts in a busy NICU. If it looks like I disappear on random days…that’s why! About 10 years ago I lost 135 pounds. Never made it to goal but just sort of leveled off at ~200 pounds. Over time I gained back nearly 50. Working on getting back at least to my low weight of 200. I would like to eventually make it to 150 where I think I would be comfortable.Previous rounds:SW RND 250: 244.5

your post really caught my eye. Mostly because the words “I need to” are very triggering for me.
I read in a book somewhere to change your words you can change your mindset. Instead of “I have to” say “I want to” or instead of “I need to” say “I get to” or another suggestion is “I’m the type of person that does this” (ie. step-climbs for 22 minutes)
I think it was a book called “4-Day Win” She suggests creating good habits by doing something for 4 days in a row. You change from someone who tried running once or twice, to a person who would be observed as “oh that’s Krystal. She’s a runner!”
Now that I think back, that book gave me a lot of tools to get myself to start walking when I was 200+ plus pounds. I may have to blow the dust off and give it another read.
@Krysless2 I am sorry my words triggered you. I know the words I use set the tone for my inner monologue but I didn't think it would trigger someone else. I still don't have a problem with using the word need though - it just expresses that I know something will follow for me if I do something specific. Saying that my words triggered you is a very strong statement so perhaps I shouldn't post here if simple words trigger others.0 -

Hey Donna ~ {{{{{sending hugs girl}}}}} I had a few rounds with my emotions last week too. So many of us are fighting that battle - it's hard, I know. But I have a new awareness I'd like to share with you and the fitfam ~ sugar crack releases opioids and dopamine into the system. That's the link between sugar and addictive behavior. Anything can be a trigger.
Last week I was appalled at how much I was CRAVING carb comfort 🤪 + my continued struggle with self-control!! No matter how disgusted I might have been that I didn't say NO! ~ I gave myself permission to have "just a little bit" ~ and was sooo proud I didn't go full-tilt off the rails with it. (Y'all know how easily one cookie turns into the whole pack right?)
Anywho ~ it reminded me of when I quit smoking 15 years ago. I tried for YEARS, before I realized I had to go cold turkey. And the only way to do it was to tell myself DAILY smoking was killing me - that I WAS NOT suicidal or delusional about all the toxins in it - and it didn't matter how many other people happily smoked into their 90's!! I literally had posts its everywhere that said PUT SOMETHING ELSE IN YOUR MOUTH or DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH YOUR HANDS.
I think I had maybe 3 or 4 cigarettes within a 5 year period, and nothing since. Similarly, I have to take away all the "just a little bit" excuses I've been giving myself and look at excess sugar the same way. IT'S POISON. That's a well documented fact.
Hope I don't sound preachy or anything! Just wanted to share my perspective in case it helps someone. We can't always be easy on ourselves. Sometimes we have to bash our heads with an ugly truth to shake free of past conditioning. Everyone's story is different ✨but we all need words that give us the motivation and self-discipline we need to take action and do something different. Peace and love, fitfam.

@reshii_devi Thanks so much for your response to my post. Emotions can be so powerful. I quit smoking in 2007 and I rarely drink alcohol unless its a special occasion so I drown my sorrows or woes in food. Especially sugar. I 100% agree that sugar is TOXIC. Especially to a type 2 diabetic and cancer survivor like me. And yet..... It's what I reach for.......If I could tame that demon, I would definitely be fit and healthy and slender. I'll never give up the battle or throw in the towel! Today was another day filled with a "situation" causing me great discomfort and depression. I do not plan on caving in tonight. I have a square of 85% cacao dark chocolate waiting for me if I MUST have something sweet. It's the only chocolate or sweet I never overeat because, quite honestly, it's very bitter and I just don't like it that much. However, it's so concentrated that it will often do the trick. I just have to CHOOSE it over other things and that, my dear, is the rub! Thanks again for your insights and your sharing! [[[hugs back to you]]]6 -

Oh geez! I’m so sorry if I came across that way..I think the word “trigger” sounded stronger than I meant it to. I should’ve said “it brought back memories” for me. I used to say it all of the time as a way to inadvertently push things to the side. But we are all different. I was wrong to insert myself and overshadow your own experiences.
I hope you wouldn’t stop posting...
