Hi, Everyone! Welcome to the Check-In! Let's make it a great month!

I want to welcome everyone to the Daily Accountability Check-In. Our goal is to stay accountable and on track by posting our daily food and exercise choices. All food and exercise programs are welcome. Consistency is the key to reaching our weight loss goals.

Introduce yourself or jump right in and tell us what you have been doing.

Here's to the start of a great month!

Good morning! Diana, thanks for getting the new thread started. Will be shutting down in a few minutes to go to bed. 😁👩‍🏫😷📚

Hi Everyone!

I'm glad for the new month. August was not good for me. I made a lot of bad choices and saw a significant gain. My walking buddy didn't have to work today so we went for a nice outdoor walk this morning. It was a bit fallish out and we both enjoyed the walk.

Steps from yesterday: 10,010

Have a Blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.

2 Corinthians 3:5
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.

Muriel knew she couldn't do it alone. She wasn't strong enough. Her friend Ann told her that one of her strengths was realizing she was weak. Too many of her friends tackled diets on their own and failed miserably. Well, Muriel wasn't going to make the same mistake. She wanted help from the outset. If we realize our weaknesses and limitations, then we are better able to cope with them. God will help us be honest with ourselves, so we can work to turn our weaknesses into strengths. Pray to God for that insight.

Today's thought: What I want to eat and what I need to eat are two different things!

Good afternoon! Love today’s devotional! Had breakfast and lunch. Did my exercises. Will take a shower in a few minutes. 😁📚😷👩‍🏫

Hi Everyone!

Ciecie I like that one, too.

I had my normal breakfast today. Lunch and dinner was combined in one. We went out for Thai food. I had chicken curry. For exercise I went for an outdoor walk. Tomorrow is back on plan with my food.

Have a Blessed evening!

Good evening! Had a quiet day at home. Went for a walk after supper. My fitness goals for today have been attained. 😁👩‍🏫😷📚

I went to an air show today that was really good. People parachuted out of planes at 32,000, and a lot of different planes doing acrobatic stunts. My favorite were the Blue Angels. They were loud but had an excellent show.. I got a little to much sun

Good morning! Will have breakfast and do my exercises in a few minutes. 😁📚😷👩‍🏫

Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea,I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Ben was afraid to even try a diet. He never had much luck with things that required a lot of willpower on his part. He caved in much too easily. If only someone else would make his decisions for him. He had never been overweight when he lived at home and had his mother around to tell him what to eat and what not to eat. Ben would be the first one to admit that he had no self-control. Unfortunately, we all have to learn to discipline ourselves. God doesn't tell us what to do. He gives us complete freedom, but He will help us have the strength to make right decisions if we ask Him to. Include God, and He will make some wonderful things happen.

Today's thought: True power is the ability to say no!

Malachi 3:6
For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

God was such a big help when Gwen began her diet, but He didn't seem to care much anymore. Lately, Gwen's diet had become almost intolerable. She began to wonder if God knew what she was going through. She had prayed daily when she started her diet, and it had gotten so easy that she really didn't need to pray all the time. Then, it started getting harder. Why did God let that happen? Poor Gwen never realized that God hadn't changed, but she had. She included God all the time at first, then she left Him out more and more. God will help us just as much as we allow Him to. Often we are our own, and God's, worst enemy when we take our lives out of God's hands and put them into our own.

Today's thought: God and I are dieting together!

Good evening! Had a quiet day at home. Went for a walk and ran errands. Will fix supper in a few minutes. 😁👩‍🏫😷📚
