HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE

Next week might be a stressful one. As I mentioned before, my parents that were supposed to arrived a couple of weeks ago are now actually arriving..there was a health issue that popped up for my dad and surgery is scheduled for October... so they are coming here for a shorter visit than originally anticipated.
I haven't slept more than 5-6 hours that last few nights , likely stress and anticipation of what is to come. While I love my parents , they are not easy people to be around for various reasons that I won't get into. To add to that my house is not very big and not set up in such a way to handle my mothers various needs due to her disabilities and neither one has any respect for boundaries. I am trying to focus on the positive to be able to have the time with my parents but our relationship has been difficult over the last few years. All I can do is try to make the best of it.

Hello !
I exercised 3 times this week at the gym, and am counting my calories.
I am also playing with Excel to build graphs and watch the numbers going down, and this helps
Let's keep it up !

Hey, I thought I was alone in using Excel to build graphs and watch numbers! This is fun and I don't know another person who does that, until your first post! Welcome to this board. Your progress is good and target quite ambitious. My advice will be that you keep at it, regardless of whether you are going to hit the goal or not. Even if you are at the 6 months mark and your Excel trendline is showing that you are not going to hit the goal, keep going. Even if you don't hit your goal by May 2025, you will be in a better place. And if you don't hit it by May, then given yourself another 6 months. As long as you are trending downwards, it is just a matter of time.

I hope you know how good you will be looking at 74KG! By the way, I was 118KG before, so heavier than you are. I am now 30KG less than that point in my life so if you doubt an ordinary person can do it, I assure you it can be done. The only, ONLY, key to reaching your goal is never giving up.

Back at it for September:
Not going to weigh daily - just once or twice a week for this month.
Starting weight 214
Goal for September 208
Current 212.6
9/6 - 211.2

Well, I’ve indulged in alcohol almost every day this week and the scale shows it so I only have myself to blame. Not drinking myself under the table but about two drinks a night. Even when it fits within my calorie limit, it still shoots the scale up. Pair that with very little movement because I’m WFH this month, not great. This group is doing so well and I am motivated by it. I WILL do better!

Also I JUST noticed that in all my posts so far this month I’ve been putting August instead of September!! Did you guys think I was bananas? Did you not notice?? I’m laughing at myself and my addled brain.

Didn't weigh today. Well I did but I didn't like the number so I am going to ignore it. hoping tomorrow is better

@canadamarie - I actually did notice and was going to put a note here to let you know but then I was like- " welp, she'll figure it out eventually":)

The alchohol thing.. yep , it does the same thing to me even when I am within calories. Sad isn't it? I am to where I allow myself 1-2 drinks a week . I actually don't miss it. I do miss cookies and cake though! Today I indulged in a vanilla ice cream cone for myself.
We will see what the scale thinks. I am not hopeful
