    Didn't workout yesterday; simply ran out of time. I think eating the heavier meal for lunch worked for me, but is difficult to execute for both my husband and I. :( I'll have to experiment more.

    @loftus4827 Welcome! I've been on both ends of the spectrum - I totally get it! Wishing you all the best as you dive in here, you've got this.

    @Plasicage Welcome back - I hope it was a lovely time!

    @kellyswimmer It will drop; just stay consistent; it has to go lower.

    @SofaKween Wishing you luck with your office! Also, I know several folks that tried C25K and started with knee or other issues too, so go with what works for you, and if it's hurting you, definitely slow it down or find something else. I'm LOL about clothing comfort zones - it's all black, all the time here. :D

    @tmbg1 Great start! I hope you start to see progress with these changes.

    @kebass01 So glad you had a great weekend and celebrated!

    @HappyDonkey75 Ugh, unfortunately the sugar-free gummies and chocolates are very harsh on the digestive track. When I'm in snacking mode, I go for the Stauffers Animal Cookies -- not the frosted ones; the plain ones. They're low fat, and you can have a couple handfuls without completely tanking your day. But now that we're getting into summer here (at least in the US), Strawberries and Blueberries are going to be plentiful -- get some low fat vanilla yogurt and load up! You can have a huge bowl of berries with a single serve vanilla yogurt for very low calories. Watermelon too -- you can have an insane amount of watermelon for very little calories. Save 200 calories at night for that and have that as your last snack -- good for you too!

    Happy Tuesday, everyone! We can do this!

    June1 201.6- I might have this wrong, it might have been 202.6? I scaled and then didn’t write it down right away
    June 2 202.6
    June 3 202.0
    June 4 202.8

    seems I am a bit stuck on the scale.
    yesterday did 40 minutes cardio and strength yesterday because today I will be traveling for my 6 week knee surgery post op.

    I didn't even eat up to my 1500 Kcal limit as I felt really bloated all day. I ended the day with only 1026 calories taken in..I started Estroven supplement yesterday so we will see if that might have been the cause of the bloating??

    Packed a lunch to take with me so I am not tempted to stop at a drive through while on the road..

    Not particularly motivated, but I also know it only takes accurate tracking, and few nights of saying no to snacking to get rolling πŸ˜ƒ

    Either my scales or stuck or I’m on a plateau too. Waiting in for a parcel today so having to stay close to the doorbell, could be any time in the next 4 hours. Or not.

    I only managed about 35 minutes walking yesterday and knew that wasn't going to cut it. I mean, I'm glad I got that in, but I needed more. And my knees were very unhappy last night. Might truly be chair exercises today.

    @HappyDonkey75 I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Estroven, if you stay on it. I hope you get good news with your post op.

    @Plasicage @kellyswimmer @SofaKween I'm kind of in the same place that I haven't been militant with calorie counting right now. But that's because I find when I am I get overobsessed with logging it, then all I'm thinking about is numbers and food and then I just want more. I've been doing the math in my head instead (100 cal this here, 70 cal that 1.5 hrs later) and just staying away from the snacks/kitchen. It's mostly worked, but yesterday there were probably more croutons than necessary on my salad.

    Still jet lagged, and fell asleep before getting tote gym. So I packed gym clothes with me to work, before I can fall asleep 😁

    @ManifestingToday the way I see it we can’t count 100% accurate, and even if we did we can’t estimate 100% accurately what our bodies will do/burn/store. But habits make a huge impact, and targeting habits will work better long term than extra detailed tracking.
    But there’s still a limit to un tracking and will end up to extra pounds eventually. 10- 100 calories here or there is minor long term.

    Tbh I have time to be extra careful with travking now, I’m just not fully on the wagon. Once the scale hits 150 I will be stressing though 😬 I don’t want my clothes not fitting

    Very strange to see the scales drop after a day when I spent the majority of it sitting on the sofa waiting for a parcel and wading through hours of Shopify tutorials.

    I still quite vigilantly MFP most days but that's mainly to make sure I get a good balance of nutrients in my diet.

    @HappyDonkey75 Congrats on the new number. :)
    @Plasicage and @SofaKween I've done well with militant calorie counting in the past. I will eventually have to get more serious on that front. Right now, I'm eating a lot of the same things daily; it's when we have something off plan that I get in trouble.
    @tmbg1 It's all in small changes. A walk and a cupcake is better than just the cupcake!
    @kellyswimmer Hugs - it will eventually go lower.

    Hope you all have a great Thursday!

    ***well I did good calorie wise yesterday but dinner was the Kirkland cauliflower crust pizza and about 1000 mg of sodium so I am thinking/hoping this is just water retention?????

    I sure hope so..

    obviously it will have to be a sweaty exercise day to help flush some of that salt from my system but anyone have other suggestions on best way to reduce water retention after a salty meal? Lemon water? green tea?

    @HappyDonkey75 Has to be salt. Sweating it out could do it. I usually just drink a ton more water and flush it out. I really hate how much salt is in frozen or prepared things. But this is also why I say that number on the scale can't always be trusted. It's not a true indicator of weight.

    General info: "Potassium-rich fruit, especially bananas, watermelons and peaches, can help lower sodium levels, decreasing water retention. Drink more water."

    We do need sodium in our bodies though. Some say to take magnesium, but I don't know enough about how much is too much. Have a large banana, drink a ton of water today, and do a sweatier workout. Hopefully that number will be way lower tomorrow. We know you didn't gain 3 lbs overnight though. <3
