I'm really feeling the need for a place to post daily. I'm 100% on track and don't want to get lax. It would be great if others want to join in! 🌻🌻🌻

Today was such a great day! I upped breakfast calories just a little and it really made a difference. When lunch rolled around I was happy to realize I didn't snack at all. Big yay! I still have 700 calories left so that'll be dinner.

I walked 1.5 miles this morning and just finished my second half...total of 3 miles. Later will be light weights. I'm so set on goals this time around that I'm enjoying getting it done!

Dancing carrot because I lost 20 pounds!!

I'm so proud of myself right now. When I switched from juicing to counting calories I thought for sure I would bounce up a few pounds. What a relief.

My next goal is 250 which I'm hoping by Christmas. I really hate setting myself up with timed goals but I'll just keep on keepin' on and see how close I can get.

Started the day with a mile and a half walk and 310 calorie breakfast. I have a jug of water and another of iced tea to get me through until lunch.

Thank you GypsyMoon, hi everyone I love group calorie counts it was how I started on the site over 2 years ago. On 7/21 calories were 1,741, weigh in was 234.5 and I want to lose 10 lbs. in about a month, very ambitious but I want it really bad.

GypsyMoon · 07-22-2016, 11:46 AM

Good morning, Candidcamster ~ Hope your day is going great!

I was in a rush this morning so I'll do my first half of walking this afternoon. Grabbed coffee and eggs for breakfast and will be back later with how my day went.

Happy Friday!!!

It amazes me how quickly calories add up. I'm wondering how many I had been consuming a month ago. Today I made the mistake of grabbing a small packet of salad dressing without giving it a second thought because the name of it was Litehouse. Well I used the whole thing which did not even dress a third of my salad..and then I read the calories. In that little packet was 300 calories; that put me way over on lunch as I prefer to have more calories in the evening because that's my 'hungry time'.

Calories: 1,456 leaves me 144 (and I will use every last one, lol)
Exercise: 3.5 miles

Looking forward to the weekend!

Wtg Gypsy, I was too tired to post yesterday (7/22) but I had 1,899 calories which isn't too bad, my preference is 1,800 or under and I got in 1 mile of Leslie Sansone before bed. I woke up today, weighed in at 234.2, but I'm choosing to blame that on the difference in clothing from the day before.

Today has been going well I did get nearly half a mile of Leslie in but had to stop because I have some errands, I plan to finish tonight.

GypsyMoon · 07-23-2016, 09:29 PM

Thanks, Candidcamster. I've known others who use WATP and really enjoy it.

I'm pooped. I walked a combined total of 4 miles and my feet hurt. I need a better pair of shoes now that I'm doing a lot more walking. Calories are just a hair under 1,600 so the rest of the evening will be lime water and maybe a cup of broth if these leg cramps don't quit. My body is in complete confusion as to what is going on.

So my day began well but ended up poorly, I made a common mistake for me, which is I got sucked in by a "deal" on some sweets and ended up binging ugh. I am proud of myself for exercising earlier today. Back on track tomorrow.

GypsyMoon · 07-25-2016, 11:18 AM

I'm actually glad it's Monday. Sometimes being at home during the day really makes me hungrier. Yesterday was a constant struggle with the false feeling of needing more food than my calorie allotment is. I'm feeling bloated too so maybe that's why. Scale was up 2 pounds yesterday but back down today. This can drive you crazy if you let it..so I'm not going to let it play with me anymore. I'm going to weigh 3x a week for now. I know when self sabotage is lurking.

I'll be back to log calories & exercise.

Have a great Monday!

Candidcamster · 07-25-2016, 11:49 PM

Hey Gypsy, yeah the scale can affect my mood and how I treat my body, I often get depressed and overeat after a bad weigh in which is crazy! Lol on the other hand when I have a good weigh in that can mess with me too where I do a mental negotiation of how many pounds junk food/binging/overeating will cost me. I just need a break from it, like a weigh free week or month ooh! Lol

Anyhow I binged the past couple of days, I'm back on track today I had. 3 veggie dogs with ketchup on 3 slices of Ezekiel bread, I sampled some cashew milk chocolate ice cream and a couple Clif bars.
No exercise and my calories were 1,858 I'm thankful.

mom2threebratz · 07-26-2016, 05:21 PM

hope you don't mind me joining in i'm trying to get my eating under control. i was doing low carb/keto but haven't stuck with it and all that fat is causing me to gain so need a break from that. i'm not good at sticking to any plan more than 3 months. so figure counting calories for while will be beneficial

GypsyMoon · 07-26-2016, 07:40 PM

Candidcam, do you use a formula to figure out how many calories per day? I'm never sure how many I should have. Someone mentioned since I walk 2-4 miles a day that I should be having more.
