Good morning! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I am back at work and not terribly excited to be here.
I only have one goal this week: make more homemade/cleaner meals. My doc is getting serious about me trimming down my calories further, which I can really only do if I cut out processed foods. I can eat more if I do homemade proteins with veggies.2 -
For sure @kaferine69 - made a big pan stir fry veggies yesterday. So much easier to cook up a couple times a week, then heat & eat3

This is a great goal.
If you’re time-crunched due to work and family, and if you have freezer space, you might want to consider batch cooking.
There’s lots of recipes that can make your life easier and healthier. Lemme know if you want more information.0 -

@long_for_me Welcome!!
Been in a rut for the past 4-5 days. Participated in self-destructive behavior and I am trying to claw my way out of the hole.6 -
Ah, i so get that. No guilt, don't beat yourself up, just go for more practice, dust off try more... clawing your way out of the hole @kaferine69 reminds me of a fav poem.... fwiw

Hey all!
Still riding the waves here. I felt like I was making no progress the last few weeks but then had a great loss this past week! It really is an up and down journey. And I’m happy to still be on it almost two months in. Hoping after the third month I will really be able to look in the mirror and see a change. But I’m happy to feel like my clothes fit more comfortably.
Hope everyone is doing well on their journey!3 -
Hey everyone, yesterday was a complete disaster for me: Steps: 2.7K, water 0.5 lts, Food: 2500 KCal. There was a party that derailed me. Today: I am back on track. I will update tomorrow as ever. Good luck, everyone!2

Still here.... still plugging away.... doctor advised me to lower my calories further, so I'm trying my best. It means I have to be much more strict, which is definitely not as fun.

Hi everyone!
I've been lurking in this thread for a few days and decided to post myself!
I'm 5'9, 28yo and restarted this journey at 219lbs. The ultimate goal is to hover around 150-165lbs, where I can usually eat intuitively to maintain.
I enjoy seeing peoples daily tracking, because it's nice to see the upside and downs from day to day and not get discouraged because of it, so I'm going to try to do something similar
June 9 219lbs
June 10 216.4
June 11 217.4lbs
June 12 217lbs
June 13 216.8lbs2 -
Still here... still struggling... but I'm here!2

Went for an hour-long walk last night, the most exercise I'm gotten in in like 2 weeks. I also tried very hard to eat natural, positive-energy foods yesterday. And it hit me again this morning that I always feel really terrible the day after I eat heavily processed foods, or even for a few days afterwards. Even if I maintain low calories, I still get hungry more often due to the processed nature of the ingredients. I think I needed that reminder to try to get myself back on track. I am still on track to lose weight every week, but I haven't been able to enjoy it in recent weeks because I've just been feeling so down and out. I am hopeful this mindset will change my feelings in a more positive direction.1

Looks like OP drop the ball after May 14. She had almost 2 months under her belt. Sadly, it's not uncommon for many dieters to quit their routine after 2 months and go back to old habits.
People that stay in control of their weight do the same things pretty much day in and day out FOR LIFE. That's just what you have to do to stay within the parameters you wish to be in. I know for me to continue my keeping my weight down, I can only eat a certain amount, exercise regualarly everyday and get enough sleep.

@kaferine69 it's great that your recognized how processed foods make you feel poorly! I always feel that the first week of "clean" eating is the toughest, and has me feeling a bit off compared to normal, but if I stick with it past that point I get a burst of energy like my metabolism suddenly wakes up and my body adjusts.
Also, an hour long walk? WOOHOO great exercise, and ALSO a really nice break for your mind if you're able to really take in your surroundings. Where do you tend to walk? I personally love going through a few garden/parks in my neighborhood, but I also LOVE going down unexplored residential areas because I like to make up stories and imagine who lives in the houses. It's really therapeutic for me, since my mind is usually racing otherwise1 -

We have a great completely shaded park 10 min from my house. It's a boardwalk over some cypress trees and it's about 2.1 miles to walk the entirety of it. It's also all completely shaded by the trees! It's a very peaceful and quiet walk. You get to see tons of different birds, and sometimes an alligator or two. It's a really nice change to get out of the sun's heat.
We also have another park even closer that's just a straight path within some trees and it's also shaded. I prefer this one because it's a wider walking area, so when my girlfriends come with me, we can walk side by side. The other one, the boardwalk one, there's really not enough room to do that.
Another really good park, about 10 min away, has less shade, but it's a more interesting walk because it's around a large lake; so you can see people in their water vehicles and also a ton of wildlife. We go to all 3 parks often and switch between them!
I get the draw of residential walks, but for me, I prefer nature-y ones, because I work in a downtown setting so I get to see and hear the traffic and goings-on all the time!1 -
Sounds so lovely, i want to walk there!0
