I have the same problem, and am mostly vegan too (though have been eating much more non-vegan than I'd like recently while I've been travelling). I don't know how obsessive to be about the protein thing; I find it really hard to get enough without also taking in too much fat. Work in progress. @alligatorob - great to see…

Yes X 3; lots of walking again. Overall I'm feeling very happy with how this week has gone - I've had no trouble staying within my calorie budget and despite lots of stress there's been no desire to overeat.

I wrote a post here last night but it seems to have disappeared so I guess I'll do another one! Yesterday ended up being my third pass day - I tracked everything and got a good amount of exercise in, but my calories were over by quite a bit. This was down to having dinner at a friend's house, with lots of food and wine.…

Beautiful quote, @RangerRickL 3xyes for me - exercise was an hour's walk. I've been under my calorie goal all this week with little effort; hope i can keep it going.

Pass 2/3 for me as well. Don't know what happened, but suddenly the day is over and I've done zero exercise. I have however tracked everything and am way under on calories!

@alligatorob hope all goes well with surgery, looking forward to seeing you back when you feel ready!

Love the pictures @RangerRickL ! Missed my morning workout today, and because of an after-work event my evening walk was also shorter than planned. It's been quite a stressful return to work and I'm already feeling as if I didn't have any time off at all - I'm grateful to have a job in the current climate but the situation…

Exercise: 15 mins yoga, one hour walk Tracking: yes Calories: yes Stressful day, but so far still no urge to overeat. My evening walks are making me very tired though!

This is so true. I'm considering daily weighing for this reason - ideally I'd love to not weigh at all, but I know that doesn't really work for me. @MadisonMolly2017 @amandaross887 @davert123 @heidipatterson100 @ginadomaszewicz - thank you all so much for kind words and encouragement! This gain is likely not a fluke as I…

Exercise: 25 mins barre, one hour walking Tracking: yes Calories: yes Started the day with the weekly weigh-in that I had to skip last week while I was travelling - the news were not good. Not only have I regained everything I lost in September, but I am now heavier than I've ever been! 😔 At least it motivated me to get my…

I was travelling last week and not keeping up with weighing and tracking - and it shows! Didn't think it'd be this bad though..

Exercise: yes, 30 mins walking Tracking: yes Calories: yes Back home, doing my own cooking again. Feels good to have some control back!

@alligatorob Sorry to hear about your upcoming procedure - I completely understand the anxiety but for what it's worth I've known others have similar surgery and although the recovery can be uncomfortable I think it's usually fairly straightforward. I say this not to diminish your concerns, only to alleviate worries if I…

Yes X 3! Technically my calories were 4 over but I'm not sure I've fully logged all my walking (and I walked a LOT) so I'm counting it.

Already having to use one of my pass days - I've definitely done the exercise (probably close to a couple of hours walking) but eating out meant no tracking and calories most likely over. It'll be easier sticking to the plan once I'm back home!

😳😳😳

October will be my second month. I had far too many pass days in September and it was generally quite a difficult month for me, but the daily check-ins definitely helped. I also had too many binge eating days so having fewer in October is one of my main goals! I'm currently travelling and can't weigh - before I left I'd…

This literally made my day! Such a lovely group to be part of. :) Exercise: yes, 25 mins walk Tracking: yes Calories: yes

Congratulations to everyone who made the circle! I will aim for fewer pass days in October ☺️

I'm definitely not qualifying for the WC this month, but I have found it super helpful posting here every day (more or less, at least up until last few days). On Friday me and boyfriend travelled to see family, and although I'd planned to keep tracking it just hasn't worked out that way. I've probably gotten my exercise in…

Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: no

@ginadomaszewicz I like the logic behind not weighing. I know that if I've gained it can push me to comfort eat (because what's the point?) and if I lose a lot I feel as if I can allow myself to eat more. OTOH I also know that if I don't weigh regularly I have the mindset that I can always catch up later (never do) so I'm…

21st: pass 22nd: pass 23rd: yes X 3 I have completely lost track of my pass days but I'm still here, still tracking. ☺️

@Dory_42 That looks like utter bliss!!

I'm sure I already posted this but I can't see it... Nevermind - an unexpected loss this week as my eating really hasn't been the best.

Exercise: no Tracking: yes Calories: yes

Exercise: yes, 50 mins walking Tracking: yes Calories: no Met up with friends for dinner and that blew my calories yet again today. I feel worse about the fact that I had quite a lot of meat though - I have it very rarely and never cook it at home, but when eating at other people's houses I eat whatever they serve. Will be…

Exercise: yes, 20 mins walking Tracking: yes Calories: NO! I basically ate two days worth😳 Today was the funeral for my stepdad, and although I'm the first to admit that overeating didn't really make things feel any better I'm not beating myself up about it either. I try not to accept excuses normally because you can…

I did TAGB which is UK specific, absolutely loved it. After that did a bit of Kung Fu, Krav and kickboxing - but I haven't done any martial arts now for about seven years. 😕 You've inspired me have a look on YouTube too!

Exercise: yes, 40 mins walking Tracking: yes Calories: yes
