Working on my 4th OP I'm pretty much back in my groove. I have walked for 3 days in a row and will walk today. I'm hoping for a nice weigh in tomorrow.
Hey! It's been a minute. I saw 205 this morning on my scale! That's my lowest weight so far! Super excited to see some consistent movement lately.
So, I've started exercising more regularly lately. Started doing the Couch to 5K program. My hips hurt though. Ever had soreness there? It hurts getting up and down from sitting to standing.
So, my church just opened up a fitness room for members only! We live out in the country and the nearest gym is at least 20-25 minutes away. I live about a mile away from our family life center and I am super excited to be able to use the facilities.
Hi ladies sgregg that is super awesome! Congratulations! miss you guys and hope you are well.
Lot's going on here, I am in the middle of a move and all, as for Dh he is fine and we are okay! Nothing has hit again and we don't expect it to. Things are coming together, we rented the unit and are very happy about it but dear lord I have to paint our place upstairs! lol. I have been working on that and Dh is busy as ever getting the other things together. Things are coming together though so we are happy. As for my schedule and weight, I kept all that I lost off and started losing more weight, I have been very active. I am very conscience of it still and have not given up and well when things settle down I hope to type more but I can tell you that I am still working hard.
As I said, I have this very big event taking place May 11 and it is quite an incentive! At this point, we are so busy with the move and all, i's hard to focus on anything else but we are making things happen, slowly but surely!
sgregg: CONGRATS on reaching 205!!! You are doing an awesome job and you're getting so close to onderland.
Weekendboater: I'm glad you're doing ok and that you're hanging in there with your weight loss program. Let's keep it going.
All is good with me. I have been on track and have maintained my weight loss. I went to my WW meeting today and was down .5 and it was the first time I'd been in 3 weeks. I've been super busy lately but I have been doing my walks and sticking to my eating plan. I am trying the Keto way of eating for a couple weeks to see how my body does with it. So far I have been impressed with losing my appetite for junk food. Now I know that I need to stay away from sugar and bad carbs if I am going to reach my goal.
Well I hope you're all having a great Friday. I will try and check in more over the coming weeks.
Thought I'd pop in to see if you were around. All is good with me. Been super busy but I am working my program. I finally made it to onederland. It felt so good to see 199 on the scale again. I'm hoping to lose another 8-10 pounds before I go on vacation in about 6.5 weeks.
Weekend Boater: I hope all is going well with you and your family.
School is out for summer! Woohoo! I still have work to do in my grad class, but that will be done next month. I finally feel like I can get down to business and get these writing assignments done.
I have been on and off plan the last three weeks. I am eating things I shouldn't. My weight has not been affected, but I know I could have lost more if I would pay more attention.
Glad school is out for you and you're able to focus on your papers. It's good that you've maintained your weight also. I hope you have a wonderful summer! I'm still plugging along. I haven't dropped below 198 but I'm happy to maintain that weight for now.
2 more weeks and then I'm done with my masters courses!
I've been up and down on the scale for the past month or so...I just haven't been as strict as I need to be to see a constant loss. My lowest I saw so far was 198. I've been shopping for clothes within the last week. Most of my clothes are just uncomfortably too big, which is a great thing, but I hate going shopping for new clothes. So, I found some tops yesterday that I thought were really cute, and I was able to find some capris and shorts that fit well! We are going to Orlando in a couple of weeks for a family vacation. I needed some hot weather clothes.
I need to resurrect this thread as I need accountability over the next few weeks. I will be on vacation until 1/6 and I want to make sure I stay on track and not gain back any weight. I am still following the WW plan and have been doing really good. I recently got back from a 7 day cruise and I did not gain any weight so I want to be sure not to gain any while on my stay-cation!
So far, today has been good.
B: 1 sl deli turkey breast, 2 clementines, coffee w/flavored creamer
L: shrimp stir fry, 1/2 C rice
S: serving of club crackers, Apple
D: Cup black bean soup
Exercise: Walked 2 miles
Yesterday I ended up having 6 small gingerbread cookies but I'm not going to beat myself up over it. It's a challenge to eating junk but I will give it my all. The scale bounced up to 199 so I have to keep it together today and get back down to 197. I was hoping to make 195 by the end of the year but I don't think that is possible. I'll be happy just being under 200.
Today's Plan
B: Raisin Bran, 1/2 C FF milk, coffee w/SF flavored creamer
L: Healthy Choice
D: Black Bean soup or wrap and small salad
S: apple,

Food plan for today
B: unsweetened apple sauce, banana, coffee
L: WW Gumbo recipe, 1/2 C rice, 1 PC Dark Choc

I need to bring this thread back to life because I am struggling big time right now and need the daily accountability. My weekly Zoom WW workshop was canceled about 3 weeks ago and I have been struggling since then. I am not quite ready to attend an in person WW meeting and I haven't found another Zoom meeting that I like. I have been struggling with binging on junk food and I need to stop the madness. Today I baked chocolate cookie dough and ate 9 cookies!!! I feel awful right now. I am tossing the rest in the garbage and will freeze the rest of the dough. I want so bad to start the new year in onederland but I am creeping back up to 200 so I have to get control now.
Today is blown but tomorrow will be THE day that I turn things around.
B: 3 pancakes w/syrup, 3 strips bacon
S: banana, 9 chocolate chip cookies
L: Black bean soup
D: None
No workout today
Anyone else who is struggling and need accountability, feel free to jump in.
sgregg that is super awesome! Congratulations! miss you guys and hope you are well.
