there was leftover cake, cookies, and fruit from a meeting in the breakroom. The cake looked and smelled great but I just took some fruit. (although I am hoping that since they put the leftovers just before lunch it disappears before I go to eat myself so I don't have to leverage additional self control)

Glad to see that you are coming out of the injury funk and seeing it as a new opportunity. I wish you all the luck in staying out of the depression and anxiety. IF you are looking for ideas on how to meet your new goals (unsolicited advice): There are plenty of sitting/office workout/upper body exercises and programs you…

to see enough weight loss to know it's real not just scale fluctuations based on what I ate.

I'm noticing that there is less strength to my excuses for either not going for a walk at all or shorting the distance. I'm still making bad food choices when i let my self munch but I'm thinking about it before eating said food. I'm still at the whatever I don't care stage for the most part but there is at least conscious…

I have to remind me self frequently that the little changes choices actually do add in the long run. Like adding a couple extra pieces of tomato/lettuce to my sandwich actually help me to eat less of that sandwich or that extra chunk of cheese to munch on adds up to extra calories. Going the extra 100 steps or flight of…

a couple NSV's as I've decided enough (again) 1) I weighed and measured this weekend. ugly numbers and everything is bigger then it was but recorded all the same. 2) logged my breakfast and lunch. first time in forever. Lunch was unweighed leftovers, so guesstimate at best but it still counts. 3) the other day my foot fell…

I'm sick of my pants wearing only in the inner thighs. 95% of the pants are still in great condition it's just that pesky area with the thigh chub rub. (and I know it's not a manner of the pants not fitting correctly because my inner thighs rub when I'm naked).

just scheduled a dr appt for Sept 11, so let's go with as much as possible. Let's me much more realistic, 228. I was 231.8 so feasible-ish. oooh even better that would like 15lbs down total.

the weight has come back on. but going on vacation 8/2 so the goal 1) knock off the upped weight again 2) 6k steps a day (recovering knee injury)

I lost some weight during a bout of illness (on the mend only a touch of remaining congestion), my first mini goal is to not gain the weight back. The second is to get below 235 for multiple days in a row. This morning 236.4

I grabbed the rest of the bag of cheetos to munch on and by the time I got back to my desk, I realized i didn't really want them. Several hours later, they are still sitting there. This is kind of big for me. I've since eaten lunch but the cheetos are actually not that desirable. I just keep forgetting to grab them to put…

Remoth those are not mini goals. Your progress is awesome. Keep it up

I have been able to get my steps over 7k pretty consistently, so got to keep that up. Due to some intermittent leg stiffness of my dog, she's been on a don't run/jump limit for a bit, but leashed walks are ok. So we've been trying to do more of those, which definitely helps the step count. I'm going to bump this up to…

weight loss intent is annoying me (don't care to log meals, much less measure them), so two new focuses (focii?). 5 a day of vegetables/fruit and to get my daily steps over 7k on my little pedometer. I can't use the phone so much because I don't always have my phone on me.

semi scale related: I lost weight on vacation, while eating a lot of ballpark food. pure NSV: my winter coat can now be pulled below my butt. A couple of months ago it was at the mid-butt range.

10lb down next goal is to get solidly below 230. I was 233.6 yesterday, so round up and call it 5 lb, which also gets me over 5% lost.

stuck in a mother may I do-loop, very frustrating and leading to me being in a pissy mood. Apparently pissy mood = desire to want to eat everything. Luckily I brought my lunch and have no cash to hit the vending machine, so when the food's gone then that's it until I get home I'm a little surprised about that reaction,…

I went for a quick walk at lunch even though the weather looked iffy and I'm pretty sure I have some of the Rain King genetics in me. I even managed to only get dripped on.

I think I'll claim the same first goal. the second one less so. heck that would be great but not likely for me but I would take 38lb by the end of 2023 - which would just put me below 200.

after logging the calories upon grilled cheese sandwich assembly, I decided to not include one of the pieces of cheese because it was going to be to much calories.

I only had to adjust my bra once yesterday and with that bra that is kind of big as honestly it's too small.

this morning, I was 239.8. So 2 lbs to go in less than a week, probably not a thing. But I still broke a zero I'm still counting it. And because I'm now traveling it will be see if anymore can come off by the 23rd. edit. I must have either done bad math or gained after posting that mini goal. Because it was definitely down…

5 lb gone before Christmas. That would be just over 2% and a nice start. So based on my weight yesterday (because I forgot to weigh myself this morning), goal weight is 237.8 by 12/25

The scale was up today, but I'm not beating myself up. I know where and how I derailed even without consistent logging (trying to get back in that habit). But I remember when I start trying to lose weight, things don't go the way I expect for a number of reasons, so my weight almost always goes up initially. So not being…

Lose the 3-4lb I gained over vacation.

The geek in me loves the reference 1st and 2nd derivative curves.

to have hubs not embarrassed/ashamed to be seen out with me (be it dining or doing things or just amongst people also to find not-frumpy clothes that actually fit

my fat pants are getting tight and my sunglasses are squishing my head when i shove them on top. Plus I'm the heaviest I've been in a decade. So start fixing all of those.

another 1.1 lbs lost will give me a 2% loss. 2.2 lb until sub 230. 5% loss so a total of 11.8 lb (3.8lb down)

I caught my husband's head cold and instead of eating all the comfort carbs, I'm choosing to eat the healthier food, largely in hopes of not catching it as bad as he had it. (plus my diet could use a kick in the pants). This also corresponds to my preferred method of "treating" most bugs - drink more water, eat more…
