I've been trying to tame my sweet tooth and eating less junk. I've noticed recently that I'm starting to get a headache when I eat pastries and some candy.

I don't want to deal with returning a couple of flannel shirts I ordered online because they are a little snug. (plus I don't want to admit that I actually need yet another bigger size). So the mini goal is to fit in them. I need a kick of motivation again, so I'm hoping this can be it.

1) log all food 2) 7k steps being lax in my motivation and effort so time to refocus for the bizillionth time

dr. appointment on the 23rd. So I want to see how much I can lose by then. especially since I've lost some to most of my motivation so the weight was starting to go back up. funny how when I stop watching/ being mindful what I eat and reduce my movement the weight goes back .

get to 235 which also gets me to 10%+ weight loss. Up a little this morning (calzones every time) so at 239.6lb

I realized about mid-way through the day that the pants I was wearing were too tight (buttonable but couldn't breath and they made me hurt from things being squished) a month but were comfortable enough to get through the day

i can sit with legs criss-cross pretty easy. so far on only on the floor/ground and not on furniture yet, but getting there

I've really only been at this current weight loss push for just over a week, but this time around I'm being hyper-critical of the way my body looks (lumpy, squishy, flabby, etc) and how I let myself get here and the fast that while I lost 3+ lb in the first week, I gained 2 or so of it back. Today I need to stop beating my…

I'm actually actively trying to lose weight this time around not the meh I'm gaining weight I should do something, log for a couple of weeksand maybe increase activity for a bit, but no real effort. I'm the heaviest I've ever been. Now I'm being extremely self-critical of my body. While my clothes size and fit, and my…

- not get out of breath doing 1 flight of stairs - to be able to curl my legs up in chairs with less joint pain my previous goal of seeing a declin for a t least 2 days in row is in still in work. I saw a drop on one day and then it stayed the same for the next couple of days. but that is usually how my weight goes. we'…

Didn't really do anything else on the checklist, except mentally add to it. and i think my logging was lacking. so JFT 7/24/24 _Log all food _7K + steps -epsom salt to peppers -10min workout - veggies with dinner

Yay!! all the things got checked. so JFT 7/23/24 -Log all food _7K+ steps - more things on the checklist - not just munch when I get home but rather plan snacks or start cooking right away -

to see a decline for at least another 2 days (hopefully being able to take advantage of normal monthly weight/water loss and boost it)

JFT 7/22/24 - Log all food - Write down mini goals and post in bathroom - 7K+ steps - brush teeth before bed - garden

my husband and I have both (re) committed to losing weight by March for 20th anniversary trip. It is so much easier to stay on track when we are both actively working towards it

[quote= @aerochic42 - I made a poor choice for supper yesterday too. It’s ok, today is a new day. That’s what I love about this thread. [/quote] @Snowflake1968 . I'm not beating myself up for it in the least. Just acknowledging why I made the choices I did. I'm still getting back in the logging something habit much less…

meh. I got breakfast and lunch logged and then started feeling like crap in the afternoon and just didn't care. So stuff didn't get done and i didn't log dinner. Nor was dinner the grilled chicken and veggies I planned but rather wings and pizza as takeout on the way home. head's not screwed on correctly today but overall…

JFT 7/10 All things success yesterday - Log all food - Get quotes for powerwashing house - sew velcro on patch

Hawaii for 20yr anniversary in March. I would love to not look like an overstuffed sausage in the photos. I'm not going as far a s like a photo of myself, just look at them with less disgust. Plus smaller me is easier to have physical fun. extra bonus reason, to weigh less then when I got married

-start (yet again for the nth time) logging regularly -see a decline in weight for many days in a row

back again. I haven't decided on a number goal yet but the overall goal is to a bunch lighter and in much better shape by mid March for 20yr anniversary to Hawaii. It is much easier to be have fun physically if I'm lighter. So JFT 7/9/2024 - Log all food. this week I'm not caring (much) about the calorie intake so much as…

all right off to a rough start for holding myself accountable and logging regularly May 9 - log all food - take measurements

feeling better after a few days of heavy congestion, deciding to refocus and get serious about my weight loss. I remembered that I used to do this years ago, and i think it helped. So I hunted down this thread and am jumping in with JFT's. I'm starting small and am going to try not conflating these super mini goals with my…

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).
