Lately, I've been ignoring the alarm and trying to rest more as my sleep is crap, and thus my gym time gets pinched. So twofold, find a way to restore adequate sleep and get UP and get going on schedule regardless.…

I put tomorrow's start date on my planner, that's the point I'm usually unsure of.

go, group, go Mentally getting myself ready!

I already rarely eat out or consume processed foods. Plan to restart daily protein shakes. Keep better track of daily calories. Get my water in early.

wt loss: I tend to graze, and am an emotional stress, boredom, procrastination eater, which is slowly changing. Thus: Plan my food daily, increasing fiber, protein, fluid. Cut off intake midafternoon. exercise: This me time keeps getting pinched short as I hit the gym prior to work. Start by prioritizing ME time and…

WHY - lose weight, exercise more, eat healthier, sleep better, drink more water…. live longer. I'm planning to retire in June and want my life to improve. Enjoy life!

What medication and did you notice any side effects? Great job and congratulations! Changes are hard to keep up and you are doing it!

Strange - my pen is somehow programmed so won't do more than the prescribed amount. It'll do less though.

Requesting the Rain Dancers. Thought I was already in but apparently missed the boat. Please redo me??

Going to get going with startup. Time passes fast.

Planning to check in daily after lunch for accuracy. Had difficulty last time remembering to keep up.

I weigh daily.

Emotional - I have to keep occupied, otherwise I am looking for something to eat. I going to aim for focus and planning my at home time.

Gym weekdays before work (more swimming than machines) Walk weekdays at lunch weekends walk the dog

Following a high protein, high fiber plan. Back to work and away from home keeps me from reaching.

physical: 45 min exercise prior to work; walk during lunch food : preplan and prep on sun - prioritize fiber and protein 1200 cal/d - log daily environment - remove (donate or trash) 5 items daily, weekly clear desktop and filing bed by 8 pm at least a jug of water daily

My goals are similar to those above - reduce clutter, increase activity, hydrate, calories 4 loss. My dh retired last week and what an adjustment. I plan to retire next summer, numerous health issues. Have noticed it's harder to stay focused, to let go of anything, and need to make changes. I want an organized life.

Old or newer format - I liked them both as really want to visit those places IRL and the challenges serve as a goal to keep in mind. Each week goes by so quickly that it's often difficult to add anything. This session was difficult for me due to multiple family issues. But I like having the different weekly challenges as…

Could I join in? 63 here and working on weight loss for years. Multiple health issues which make it more difficult. This looks supportive and interesting.

@gisele2015 Regarding your black plastic article - that is news to me - wondering about all my black p lastic utensils? have had them a long time and no clue if they contain or not. The thought of those types of chemicals leaching into my food though, ack. Going to discard and look for something else to use. I got rid of…

Thank you @_breathe_ !! Success thanks to you!

@Texasstitcher Wondering if I am still on raindancers? Saw that invitations went out but nothing new is in my messages mail - is there somewhere else to check?

Noticing that when I go to some other group pages, the most recent pages' discussions and posts don't populate. There's only an empty box. Anyone else experiencing this or know if it's a glitch or there's something I should do?

I weigh daily. Measured today.
