December 6 Exercised?: No Calories?: No Tracked?: No I'm only posting this to keep myself accountable. I had a client meeting with lunch yesterday and then a company Holiday party in the evening. It was an enjoyable day, but exhausting and not healthy. This time of year is rough in many ways, but I'm trying to do as well…

@alteredsteve175 Thanks for the supportive words and the YouTube suggestion, Steve! I will definitely check those out.

@craigo3154 Thank you so much, this is so helpful! I may finally have some insight into why I've had trouble losing. I appreciate your help very much!

@LesIckaBod That's a great point! I don't have any macros goals, as I don't know how to manage those. I am only watching calories, trying to stay at or below 1300/day, so maybe that is the problem. Is it okay to go above calories if they are proteins or do I still try to stay at the same calories level?

Hi! I'm Cathy, 52 years old, mother of 2 kiddos - one in Philadelphia, one in Memphis. I don't have a huge amount of weight to lose, but these last 10 pounds are the hardest! I've been trying for several months and have hardly had any movement. For me, it's not the eating, as I don't really eat that much, it's the lack of…

I have failed miserably with tracking and with exercise. Lots of excuses, but I'm not giving up! Tracking my food is going to start tomorrow and I'm going to find some way to exercise even though my equipment at home is broken. I'm not going to let all the hard work of several months ago go to waste! Hope everyone had a…

Sounds like you're back! I wish I could say the same, but I'm still working at it. It snowed yesterday and the treadmill is now broken, so have to figure out how to be creative. Have a great weekend, Steve!

Thanks, Les! Sorry about the mix-up but am glad to have an additional period to lose some more weight (hopefully)! :)

Steve, I have also really been slacking on the exercise. I have all kinds of excuses lined up, but now it's just me being lazy! I see you posted some exercise this morning, so good job!!! Happy Friday Eve!

Great job Kathleen! That's a lot of self control! 👏

Hi Steve! I am also in the same boat and need to get re-motivated! It's getting colder outside, so am going to have to hit the treadmill. Thanks for keeping this thread going, my intention is to keep more involved in this one! Hope you're doing well and had a good time in the woods! :)

Weigh in day: Saturday Weigh in week:3 Weight last week:159.6 lbs Weight this week: 160 lbs I'm having a rough time, sorry team! A lot going on in my personal and family life. I'm determined to get back on the treadmill and walking outside starting NOW!

Thank you so much! This makes total sense and I'm ready to pull myself up on the cliff! I've had a walking boot on for the past 4 weeks and just got it off yesterday. I'm ready to get out there and get moving again - all in moderation, though! Thanks again for your encouragement, it REALLY did help!

I am downloading this app now! Thanks for sharing!!

Username: ShareASmile Weigh in week: Week 2 Weigh in day: Saturday Previous weight: 158 Today's weight:159.4 Sorry for the gain this week. I've got a broken foot and the lack of exercise is making itself known. 😥

Kathleen, this is awesome! I have always felt guilty about not being a gym person, so what you said just resonated with me! Once i get this walking boot off, I can't wait to get back to long walks, gardening and just being outside!
