Hi everyone. During my workout this morning I was thinking I need to set some formal goals again. I didn’t set new ones for my post-holiday portion of the month and I know it’s near the end now but I feel like I’m drifting a bit and resting in my comfort zone. Definitely need to bring water back into focus and maybe some…

@trooworld Oh I hate those weeks!! So bummed for you. I hate that feeling like “what more can I do?” But try not to get deflated - you know you’re doing the right things for health, so eventually the numbers should catch up. You have been making really good choices so maybe next week you’ll have a big drop 🤞. How has your…

Morning all, I met my goal. Very pleased but sort of subdued as well. Been a long week and had an issue on Wednesday which actually made me feel kind of sick, so I didn’t eat, which is new and kind of novel. Not that I want to do it again - but every new experience is learning right? So anyway, sun is shining, last day…

Weekly weigh in: PW: 75.1 CW: 74.8 Officially met my first goal - broke 75 😁. Yay me. Really sorry I’m not keeping up with chats this month - just one thing after another really. Mostly all good things, except a bit of a breakdown on Wednesday, but got through it and sun is shining and only one day till the weekend 😊

@happysquidmuffin Many congratulations on e new weight low. That must be an awesome feeling - great work. @trooworld But breakfast is awesome!!! 😂. Haha, I can’t be any help here cause you already ruled out all my staple faves. Very interested to hear about what you come up with, but I’ll be honest and say the idea of slow…

Hi all. Tracked and drank. Was over budget yesterday but today is ongoing well so far. Busy busy last few days but still getting my exercise in and am on 66 days of meeting exercise goal. Upped my goal by 50cals yesterday. Great work team on the results this week, we are all awesome. Special yay for @megnolia82 @19shmoo69…

Okay, tomorrow is back to routine day. Tracking and water here we come!!!

Warning, a bit long and ranty- sorry but wanted to offer what I could😔 @trooworld Ouch, that would have been so hard to hear 😔. It is such a struggle for us - especially when there is physical limitation and pain involved. I really feel for you and the internal hurt that must have caused. I know his words came from a place…

Friday Weigh In PW: 75.3 CW: 75.1 Hi all - super stoked with a loss - the first week of my trip I was really good but the last 3 days I let it go a bit and was kind of dreading the scale. Saved by the consistent exercise which I really enjoyed. Also will admit I did my workout *before* weighing this morning so maybe that…

Hi everyone! Really sorry to be behind on replies - will see how the evening goes later on. For now I’m saying hi and reporting that I actually managed to lose 200g while away 😁. Am 100% certain exercise is what saved me as the last 3 days I was pretty slack with eating. Have done two good workouts since coming home and…

@gemwolf110 Well done for spreading it out! That’s a great strategy 👍 Morning all. I jogged again this morning - yay me. But just ate a toasted cheese and salami sandwich with rocky road dessert…. Not so yay 😒. So it’s a mixed bag now - I feel like after the stressful parts passed I’ve relaxed a little too much. Still…

Hi everyone. Super quick check in to say hello 😁👋. My busiest days are done and the sun is shining but I decided to skip my workout this morning and relax. I’ll take a walk later but for now am enjoying coffee and sun and bird noises. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Hi ladies. @trooworld I’m away till Thursday and on holidays from work till Sunday. It has gone a lot more smoothly than I was expecting so emotionally I’m not as drained which is what I was nervous about. The next few days should be pretty relaxed but food will still challenge me, but the “party days” are over now 😊.…

Hello, did another jog yesterday and felt excellent, but did not get to close all my rings today which I’m disappointed about, but I did still meet my calorie burn goal after a walk along the beach, just didn’t get enough higher intensity stuff in. Food was so so today, but I’m feeling controlled and restrained in my…

Hi All, @trooworld Thinking of you today and hoping you get to relax. I’ve brought the third book in the stone sky series away with me but only picked it up once. Actually that’s not true, I’ve only read it once but picked it up another time but that act prompted the people in my head to remind me I needed to up my…

Hi All, @Cornanda Hahaha, I must have mistyped then autocorrected - I’m making a *star* blanket. It’s just from ravelry - https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/stained-glass-round-ripple-6-to-24-points. I’ve only got the last 4 colour rounds to go and have done the same colour combination as the pattern. I love starting…

@ DrewsAnna and @laurelfit57 I’m another crochet-er 😊. Have so many projects unfinished over the years but I do enjoy it. I make a lot of dolls and Amigurumi but my current project is a step blanket. It’s on hold for now, but am hoping to get back to it after this trip. Am excited to report that I successfully had a little…

OMG I just jogged! JOGGED!!!! And not just for the minute I thought I’d start with - jogged 5, walked 5, jogged 10, walked 5, then jogged a whole 15 minutes!! (And then walked another half hour home). I am so surprised and motivated. I am going to take myself shopping today for proper running shoes and Airpods. Both of…

Hi all, quick check in for me today. A good day, met my goals and feeling good.

Hi everyone, checking in. Not a bad day - drank enough water and have just tracked my food and I’m under goal! Yay me. I was good about tiny tastes of things and didn’t feel guilty asking for substitutions in the dinner meal. Definitely progress. I also took two walks so met my exercise goals and closed all my rings. So…

Morning all. So it’s leaving day. I’m prepared but apprehensive. Not sure why, but I ate lasagne yesterday. Not a big deal but it’s more that I just didn’t think about alternatives. Glad that I naturally halved the portion I gave everyone else, but it is an unusual meal for me, so evidence my mind is somewhere else. Which…

Hi everyone. Started this early this morning but never finished: I’m Tam, this is my second month here and it has made such a huge difference to my success and focus. I am 43 from Tassie Australia, husband, 3 kids (11-15), and a dog 😊. Like most I’ve struggled with weight forever and have been up and down in both healthy…

Morning! @DrewsAnna if you flip back to the previous page of posts it is about halfway down. It is from jugar and is a long blue link. Go there then bookmark that page. Don’t stress, we were all new once - half the time I still feel lost 😂

Okay okay!! I’m up!! Definitely feeling the holiday vibes. Have not felt like exercising at all the last two days and have done enough to get my goals but not much more. Yesterday was daughters birthday so it was all about food but no excuse today. Am committed to water and tracking.

Aaah! Somehow I missed a whole page of posts??!! @DrewsAnna Hello! This challenge group has been great for me - this was my first month here and I had a blitzer. Next month will be slower because I’m away for half of it, but I’m still going to be here because everyone is so supportive and it definitely helps keep me on…

@nossmf Oh gosh I feel for your wife (and you of course, but being a mother to teenagers, I can relate more to her 😊). Be gentle with her - and just hold her when she needs it. Great to hear your son is so happy though - all sorts of adventures await!!

Hi everyone. I’m up and done my exercise. Man it was stubbornness that got me up and going this morning, but I feel good for it now. Today is the last day of month, last day of school, last day of work. I can do this!! Had a loss this morning which means I lost every week in September and met all of my exercise goals this…

Weekly weigh in: PW: 76.0 CW: 75.3 Total loss for Sept : 3.1kg. Weekly goals: Exercise 30mins every day ✅ Burn 500cals every day ✅ Step once a week- No but heaps of additional workouts in other ways. 5 days under calorie goal - I didn’t consistently track so I have to say no to this one 😔 Record a loss every week ✅ Stoked…

@Katmary71. I love discovering new fruits. We have a cross between apple and pear called a “nashi pear”. Wonder if they are the same? A lot of people here have “standing desks” which they can raise and lower whenever you need a change. Might not be an option if you have leg issues as well, but DH swore by his when he was…
