7.7 Green? Nope. I was feeling discouraged anyway, and then I was invited to a BBQ with beer and lots of goodies. The combination was stronger than my willpower to resist. Didn't count but pretty sure it was red. Didn't go crazy, though. Total: 6/23 @Laughter_Girl Thanks for the encouragement. I admit that my frustration…

7.6 Green? Yup Total: 6/23 Patellar tendonitis still getting me today. Lots of gentle walking but that's it for now. That, ice, stretching, and ibuprofen. And upper body strength. Still doing that. @MelissaPhippsFeagins I KNOW! This week was especially bad, I guess because of the holiday weekend? @R_Queenie Happy…

7.5 Green? Very. 5/23 My patellar tendonitis is still a little cranky today, and I seem to be carrying a hefty ton of water weight (know it must be that, because I've been pretty vigilant on my measuring and have been green). Both are leaving me a little down, but I'm going to work to shake it off and have a great day.…

7.4 Green? Chevy. By one calorie. As in, I was 99 calories in the red. But it was planned. Still I guess counts? 4/23 @Rebamae I'll jump in on that 10! But I'm not making any promises about next Saturday :wink: @Laughter_Girl If you're looking for tips, I will tell you that I used Galloway training to run two marathons,…

7.2 - Chevy. Worth it. Total: 2/23 Today and/or tomorrow will be planned red. Not gonna go crazy, but there will be fourth of July celebrations, happy hour, and dinner out with my sweetie. Plan to enjoy them. Will still get some good cardio in. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! @bbinoa Those are the small victories…
-
@R_Queenie Agreed! @Rebamae - I'm going for one better than June, too. That's 23 for me. I was tempted to be more ambitious, but I'm going for gentle improvement instead. @bbinoa Yay running off stress! @Laughter_Girl Hope health is feeling better tomorrow. @jenthibert Close to goal weight, woot! @jumblejups Yes, this…

6.30 Green Total: 22/25 Didn't make my green goal, but learned some things this month. I still hit my weight loss goal, but that's because I was eating way less to compensate after red days. This month I want to keep it more even keel, less swings. There are definitely some great examples to follow in this group!

6.29 Green, despite eating some junk. Total: 21/25 Yay, @jenthibert! (And all you other goal hitters! ) Looking forward to a fresh start for next month myself.

@jumblejups & @Laughter_Girl Yaayyy smashing those goals! Get it! 6.28 Supa green, and didn't have to go hungry for it. Solid run. Total: 20/25 Hope everyone had a great weekend!
-
6.26 - Chevy 6.27 - Didn't track. Pretty sure it was red, though. Total: 19/25 So many people killing it this month! You all are inspirational! I've definitely been yoyo-ing, but I'm telling myself the most important thing is that I don't give up.
-
6.24 - Chevy 6.25 - Green, despite massive overindulgence in chocolate chip cookies brought into work. Elliptical helped! Total:18/25 Won't even make my revised goal, but I'm trying not to beat myself up about it. Still more green than I was last month, and as long as I keep improving, things will move in the right…
-
6.22 - Green, oh so green. Too green? Because... 6.23 - RED. I was hungry like WOA. Also maybe a little toddler-like rebellious about my eating? Total:16/25 Yesterday was discouraging. Making me remember that drastic calorie cuts on Mondays (or any other day) to make up for weekend calories is counterproductive. Slow,…

6.21 Green despite a super calorific family meal. Score! Total: 15/25 @Laughter_Girl Get it!

6.20 Red! I think I cursed myself by saying this new food plan makes it so easy. Family dinners are hard for me no matter what. Got another one tonight, so all I can do is try to do better than today! Well, I can also make a plan. One plate no leftovers? No appetizers? Total: 14/25
-
6.19 Green? Chevy. (Some light beer pushed me over -work celebration!) Total:13/25 @Laughter_Girl Hope you enjoyed your rest day! I took one today too and it was great! Food plan is 16:8 intermittent fasting. Not for everyone but I'm really enjoying it.
-
Just started this week - pretty gentle version, 16 fast/8 eating, and I LOVE it. I normally really struggle with calorie restriction, abs it has made it SO MUCH EASIER. I thought I might want to binge during my feeding periods, but that has not been the case at all. I'm finding that being in touch with my physical hunger…

@Rebamae - You still have TWICE as many green days as red, which is probably better than before you started, right? @R_Queenie - Do you have any idea what's tripping you up? Looks like your calorie goals are pretty low. Are you just super hungry? (Hope that's not overly intrusive!) I know you've lost a lot of weight, so…
-
6.17 Green? Yes. Total: 12/25 Feeling good! Back on track after a fun but nutritionally challenging family visit, and this group has really helped with that. Thanks everyone! @Rebamae Thanks! Sorry to hear your grandaughtet was sick but glad that she's better!
-
Just realized that my diary retroactively went into the red for yesterday because my weight went down today. Rude, MFP, rude. I guess not the worst thing, tho. :neutral:
-
6.16 - Green! Seriously I calculated within 5 calories and ate every bit. I was hungry! Total:11/25 @k80flec - I feel you! My original goal was 26 days, but when I realized that I could only get 25 staying green for the rest of the month, I adjusted it. We can do it!

I agree with the professional help sentiment but would add this: it's not always easy to find a therapist who is a good fit, so try not to get discouraged if it doesn't work on the first try. Group therapy can also be very helpful for not feeling alone in the struggle. As for what you might be mourning, I can't be sure,…

Here's something that most people will say is wrong, wrong, WRONG, but has worked for me in the past and apparently does for many others: try skipping breakfast. What??? Weight loss blasphemy, right? Truth is that the myths about it slowing your metabolism have been disproven. If you're one of those people who will have a…

@KelleyGunn That's great! Yay optimism!
