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.

John 14:18 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.'
Joan was such a great friend. Almost every day she would stop by to see how things were going. Joan had been there herself. She had battled her weight for years. It was comforting to have someone around who had made it. Joan looked great. Just knowing it could be done made the whole diet easier, somehow. When we try to lose weight all by ourselves, the struggle is doubly difficult. We all need support in tough times. We can count on God's comfort when we diet. He has promised that He will never leave us comfortless. Believe in that promise. When our diets seem most futile, God will come to us.
Today's thought: With the help of friends, I can lose more pounds!
Dear chicks, it took me an hour to even get onto this site and then 15 minutes to get logged in. My computer is a mess. I don't have that type of time. Until we get a new computer or something, I am not going to try to post. Too frustrating and time-consuming. I will try to keep my same plan going for diet and exercise. I am making slow but sure progress. Love all you chicks! Rachel

@rachel1234 I am with you
I timed it it has taken me close to 15 minutes on my NEW computer (purchased last month) I so sorry everyone but it is way too frustrating to wait that long for a page to load.
I will check in when/if things improve or I have a 30min window to sit and do nothing.
Diet wise I go up and down. Right now I am down. (whoop whoop LOL won't last long) But for the month of July I had a 3lb loss but we will see if it sticks.
I will try to get back in, in maybe a week or so xxx to everyone. I miss the daily interactiion
Good evening! Worked at my volunteer job today. Power walked and ran errands on the way home. Power walked and ran errands this afternoon. My fitness goals for today have been attained. 😁🌺😷❤️
Good night all! Will be shutting down in a few minutes to go to bed. Rain is coming! So is thunder and lightning. The rain is needed but not the thunder and lightning. 😁🌺😷❤️
Rachel & Nancy I'm sorry it has been so difficult to log in. Please come back and check in when you get a chance. Wishing you the very best in the mean time.

Matthew 11:28 'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
'Sunday was 'anything goes' day. Carol had decided that if she was good about sticking to her diet through the week, she would allow herself to splurge on Sunday. It made the diet so much more tolerable. Interestingly, she never really went overboard on Sunday. She ate something she really liked, but she ate a moderate amount and found herself totally satisfied. Whenever we attempt something difficult, we need to allow ourselves a respite. It is a good thing to take a break, even from a diet. It requires self-control, but it can help us keep a healthy perspective on why we diet in the first place. Once we have rested from our fast, we can return to it renewed.
Today's thought: I am tired of being heavy-ladened physically!

John 14:27 'Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
'Bill felt it was a no-win situation. If he dieted, he felt lousy because he was hungry all the time. If he broke his diet, he felt guilty. It was hard to tell which was worse, the hunger or the guilt. He wanted to trim down, but he loved to eat. He never knew that he'd suffer through so much turmoil just trying to lose weight. Diets can really stir us up. They make us feel physically and emotionally strained. During periods of dieting, we need to find peace of mind and heart. Ask God for that peace. He promises to deliver it to those who ask Him for it. When we need it most, God gladly gives it.
Today's thought: Better to have peace of mind than a piece of cake!
Good afternoon! Did 2 miles Leslie Sansone before I left for work this morning. Power walked and ran errands before I punched in. Will go for another power walk and run errands in a few minutes.
