@trooworld ooh I love the rolled Turkey idea - definitely stealing that one 👍. You added a breathing exercise - excellent work. And I’m assuming you had at least SOME water through the day, so it’s not a “fail”. I’ve decided I hate that word and am not acknowledging it anymore 😂. So you didn’t meet goal, it happens, but…

@trooworld Good morning! I had a great day, but did not do the step class in the afternoon - just felt really tired and thought I might burn out if I pushed too much. Played a card game with the fam instead - just Exploding Kittens a nice easy one to just have fun with. It was a lovely quality-time-filled day. Am up early…

Hi everyone, I’ve had a great few days, meeting all my goals and eating well. I have noticed that on days I do extra exercise I am quite hungry so it may not be realistic to restrict to myself to the standard calorie goal (no exercise bonus) on those days. Ideally I’d like to but will have to see how it goes. I still…

Great morning!! Have had and won many battles with the people in my head already (it’s 9am). Started to give you the detailed run-down but it’s just ranting really, so the ending is that I beat my PB for calories burned on the elliptical and already met my daily goal. Taking DD out for a walk soon and morning tea - there…

Finally took my measurements today - bought a new tape measure yesterday because I can’t find the other one. Worked hard - got a personal best for most calories burned in a single day 😁. @theslightedgeforever That’s awesome that you were able to beat it twice! Well done! Argh about the keys! Hope you were still able to do…

@trooworld I’ve been thinking about your struggle with meditation (you always seem to drink enough water but not be able to meditate). How bout each time you drink a glass of water (or your first water of the day, or your last - or whichever you do intentionally) that after you drink, you take 10 seconds to close your eyes…

@trooworld. Darn - sorry to hear the Specialist didn’t have better news. You’re right though that information is power - now you know where things stand you can do what’s necessary to stay healthy. You can totally do three hours a week - no problem!! 😁. Just need to work out which activity you enjoy most and that fits your…

@teresaw1020 Hi Teresa. Sorry to hear things are a little tough this week. But you did your check in and came to say hello, so that’s a win 👍. Hope this week goes a little easier on you. Remember “No Zero Days” - any little thing is enough 😉

Hi @megnolia82 👋. That’s all, just saying hi. There’s usually no one around this time of day for me - I’m in Australia and I think you must all be in bed, so it’s nice to see someone else to interact with in the afternoon 😊. I’m about to head off for a step class (just to my living room). Looking forward to “seeing”you…

Weekly check in: Weekly check in: PW: 78.4 CW: 77.6 Exercise 30mins every day -YES Added - Burn 500cals every day - YES Under calorie goal 3 times - YES Record a loss - YES Step class -YES Note that I am using my cal goal without including any bonuses due to exercise. My reasoning for this is partly because I’ve learned…

Hi everyone. Am coming here because I’m bored while waiting for kids to arrive home and kinda hungry but don’t want to eat till I know their plans for afternoon tea. It’s been a productive but sedentary day. Woke up a bit later than normal but still did my 30mins this morning and have vacuumed the house when the workmen…
-
There are so many people here! Which is awesome and exactly what I was hoping to find, but no idea how I’m going to keep up with everyone! So I have some time today and am hoping to get myself sorted with a checklist for my weekly and daily goals for easier access, and the comments from @shaunalr83 made me smile - that…

Hi I’m everyone, I am going well and have started posts for here so many times but never got to completing them - things are busy! But mostly good busy, and I’m keeping up with my goals and looking forward to being able to post positive results tomorrow 😁. I had to change my workout plan because unexpected events came up,…
-
I have tried so many times to post here today, but have not even able to find coherence 😔. It was a good food day - some cake the afternoon but considered and controlled. And then I did a step workout because tomorrows schedule has been obliterated by an unexpected all-day install at my house, and it is my last chance to…
-
@trooworld No need to apologise, it is helpful for me to just have the outlet and know people will be around sooner or later 😊. Thanks though 😊. Your kitchen toy sounds interesting. I’ve been wanting but talking myself out of an air fryer for months. Just can’t seem to find one that hits the balance between not too…
-
@gemwolf Yeah I noticed the adds are popping up more frequently now, but at least you can just click them off, I’ll be cranky if it turns into those video things you have to sit through 🙄. Hope you have a great day today!

Morning all. I couldn’t shake my Mood last night but didn’t buy dinner - walked up to the store again and microwaved everyone a pie and I ate my salad and a small protein bar. Had a bath, 99cal ice cream, read my book and went to bed. Slept well, up and exercised this morning, busy day again today but feeling more positive😊
-
So I’m hiding in my room because I’m on the verge of a tantrum and do not want to yell at anyone. Was a long day at work - no breaks - straight home for PL, ate my lunch during it at 3:30. Walked to shop to get tofu to make the recipe for dinner, got home and kids have taken over kitchen because two of them suddenly have…
-
Hi everyone, just a quick check in that I’m doing well. Still some wider-life niggles going on, but when are there not? My weight and health journey is the thing keeping me focused these days and I’m really pleased with it - seem to be in a zone so making the most of it. This was the most successful weekend I’ve had in…
-
Hi @theslightedgeforever. Yep I think this will be my focus with exercise for now. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about health vs weight, and I am striving for both, but mentally and emotionally the numbers are important to me right now. It has been helpful this week to challenge myself to keep going for longer to meet…

Hi all, checking in. Did my 30 mins already this morning and came under calorie goal yesterday - first time in quite a while so am proud of myself. Also made good choices for breakfast after creating a pancake buffet with all the trimmings for everyone else (Fathers Day here). It was still almost double my usual breakfast…
-
@cornanda - I use Cdorner as well! I really enjoy them - she makes me smile 😊. I’ve only been properly back into it for a month or so, but am able to choose what kind of workout now based on how I’m feeling and how hard I want to work. Did an Ab and core session once and it killed me! Now I just do abs in my own time 😊.
-
@trooworld Yay for days off 😊. And double yay for tracking!! I’m quiet today too, which is good cause I’m not feeling great. And if anyone takes issue with anything today, not sure if I’ll be strong or not 😔. Doing well so far tho - exercised and during errands DS wanted to go buy chocolate so I stopped in at the market…

Weigh in day :Friday PW: 78.8 CW: 78.4 Hi everyone. Thanks for all the welcome messages. Feeling a bit flat today but did my exercise this morning and about to take son out for some errends - hoping that might shake my mood. Have decided my weekly goals for Sept will be: - Exercise 30mins every day. - Come under calorie…
-
Hi all, I did quite a long reflection this morning but it’s not coherent enough to put here. Suffice to say I’ve been pondering how best to move into the new month and where my focus should be. I’m going to keep up exercise but sort of seperate it from my weight loss goals. Exercise needs to be about health and strength…

Hi everyone, I’m Tam, live in sunny Tasmania (Australia). 43 yrs, husband, 3 kids just entering teenager-hood and a dog 😊. Ive struggled with weight my whole life, with many ups and downs. Lowest was just before my wedding but I was not healthy mentally or physically. Healthiest weight i remember was around 70kgs so that…
-
@TeresaW1020 @trooworld Hi again, I’ve had a look at the challenge group and am keen to join - I like the look of the weekly challenges and added motivations . And I leave for a trip on 4th sept to see family and friends I haven’t seen in some cases for years, so another way to keep on track and motivated sounds very…
-
@theslightedgeforever Thanks! Yep I feel great for all the exercise, although I have had a few arguments in my head along the lines of “why bother because you know it is not sustainable long term, so what’s the point?”, but I am getting good at telling those voices where to go. I know I won’t keep this level up forever,…
-
@trooworld thanks! I’ll go look it up now. We do play magic, but some times it does my head in, so a simpler variant would be nice for times when maybe just the kids and I can make it more relaxed 😊. Our weather has definitely reached the turning of the season - it never really lines up with the calendar but I love seeing…
