My mini goal is fitting into my skinny jeans for winter. I have a few pairs in two different sizes for my unfortunately fluctuating weight. I do have some to wear now but by the end of winter I hope to fit into the smaller size. I’m gradually increasing my activity and intensity with walk jog intervals and strength…

So far so good. 1.6 pounds down since Oct 25th. Thats about 2.5 weeks of progress. Slow but steady progress. 👍

Staying in control of my diet and calorie budget through the long holiday weekend.. lots of Halloween candy and donuts and pizzas and soda and cookies.. quite a feast! And you know what?.. I still enjoyed the holiday immensely even though it was controlled and slightly restrictive 🙌

I made a new personal best record! 6.2 miles! Longest walk workout ever, according to my Apple Watch 😉 Yayy!!

@jennyfawcett I’m up for the task! Hi! I’ve been here on this journey for awhile and I’m here for the long run. 55 pounds down with about 25 more to lose. I log in daily. Have an open to friends diary. I also struggle with inconsistency. I’ll send you a friend request. Since the newsfeed is no more we’ll have to message…

So I have the opposite experience, I gain in the summer and lose in the winter, but I live in the desert.. I tend to hibernate in the summer when it’s scorching hot outside but once the weather cools down I can get outside and be active again. I have found this to be my natural rhythm. I’ll gain 10lbs or so, if I’m lucky I…

I’ve gone 5 days! no after dinner snacking no middle of the night snacking 🙌 building new habits, even ones you’ve already built before, takes time…

Me 1 Lns 0 I didn’t snack while prepping lunch for the next day nor did I snack in the middle of the night. Practice makes progress 👍

Glad to hear your back at it again. Consistency is difficult for me as well. Motivation isn’t a constant thing, it goes up, it goes down, creating new habits is what’s really helpful for long term success but that takes time and consistency. Just gotta keep trying. Everyday is a new day to make healthy choices that align…

Sleep helps me. I find that i get to a certain point of the evening when I need to go to bed or my body will signal me to eat food. Food is fuel. I get tired and my body wants a snack or two or three. But if just go to bed or at least start that routine, It helps me avoid the snacking..

I live in a concrete desert. The only thing I do when it’s scorching hot out is swim or leave the heat and go camping but I’m mostly an indoor only person during the summers. I even get a sort of cabin fever. The sun and heat just makes me so sick. If it’s over 90 I’m not hanging out outside without a pool or sprinkler…

Hmmm I lost track somewhere the last week or so.. this challenge has been eye opening for me. I’ve learned some things about myself and my lifestyle I hope to make changes to.. I’m about balanced with the snack monster. I guess it’s a give and take sort of thing but improvements can be made.. onward I go..

Me:9 Lns:8

Me:9 Lns: 7 It wasn’t a big snack and it was even “healthy” but I still shouldn’t be eating in the middle of the night. I should be sleeping.

Me:9 Lns:6

Me:8 Lns:6 I’m ahead of the snack monster! Woo!

Oops looks like I missed a day. I don’t think I was snacking the night before nor last night either 👍 Me:6 Lns:6

Me:4 Lns:6 At first I thought I was a winner because I didn’t snack in the middle of the night after my husband left for work but then I remember I did snack after dinner as I was up late with the grandbaby. Going to bed early helps prevent the late night munchies. I guess it’s half a win..💪🥴

Me:4 Lns:5 Your going down snack monster 💪 I’m gonna need more gum lol

Im struggling. Im struggling with a deficit. I’m up 11 pounds since summer basically. I just switched over to maintenance to take a diet break. I’m gonna focus on eating the right food choices. I’m supposed to be dairy free and gluten free so I’m gonna work on getting that right and just staying under my maintenance…

Me:3 Lns:5 The urge hit and I opted for gum. 💪
