I have gotten a little off track the last week. I can still make this bet if I really dial in. Keeping the motivation is always so hard for me. I'm starting with a big glass of water before work and packing my protein powder and blender for a protein shake at lunch. I'm also saying no to all sweets today!

I stayed on track nicely! I traded my bun on my sandwich for a glass of wine. It was a much better use of calories in my opinion! Haha

You can do this!!

  • I’m not giving up, but the chances of me hitting my goal for this bet are slim (ha) to none. I’m still up a few lbs from my initial weigh in, and that’s frustrating. But what I’m (re)learning is that this whole losing weight thing takes real effort (duh, I know). And I’ve been reminded of how much better I feel when I’m making that effort (see my sweaty selfie photo from 2019, the healthiest I’ve ever been).

    I’ve got meal kits set to be delivered again this week, I’m already mentally preparing my lunches, and I found a new workout I want to try. I’m also ordering a new band for my Garmin because the old one was irritating my skin.

    It’s time to turn this around!

Any progress is better than no progress. Just think how good you will feel even being just a few pounds closer to your goal!

You got this. Win or lose you are learning things about yourself everyday. You go girl!!!

I’ve been struggling to keep up with my 4 year old. I’m tired of saying that mama doesn’t have the energy to play. He deserves better, and so do I!

I have had some recent health problems. They aren't anything major, but could turn into something more if I'm not careful.

Helped a friend pack last weekend and throughout the week…and ate too much cake. She had an amazing homemade carrot cake from Easter. Felt like a reward for all the hard work we were doing. Threw me off a bit. I’ve been back on my mindful eating the last three days and I’m feeling more balanced, empowered, and less bloated. Love this feeling. I even denied cake yesterday and that felt amazing.

I am convinced that tomorrow is the day I wake up skinny! ? J/k. I do feel really good about my choices today though!

I think manifesting is one of the steps to our journey, we really have to believe we are capable of achieving this

DietBet Laura

I agree with Rosa! Envisioning yourself at your goal is a great mindset!

Lost 3 pounds this week. I made some better food choices and upped my exercise. Definitely room for improvement but a solid start. 😊

  • The scale is up 2 lbs from my starting weigh in. Working on a meal and movement plan for this week to reverse course. Cheers to a new week ☕

Weight loss is never linear in my experience. I'll go up for seemingly no reason, and then a loss happens after what I think are some not-so-smart choices. All we can do is keep at it! You got this!

I am happy you chose to optimize your plan and push on. Let's go!

  • Happy Monday, everyone! Today is Mindful Movement Monday!

    While exercise is great for our physical goals, let's celebrate the other incredible benefits:
    ✨ Mood Boost: Get those endorphins flowing!
    ? Stress Reduction: Melt away tension.
    😴 Better Sleep: Help your body rest and recover.

    The best exercise is the kind you like doing. Don't feel pressured – even a 10-minute walk, some stretching, or taking the stairs makes a difference!

    So, tell us: What kind of movement are you planning to incorporate this week? Let's inspire each other!

I’m thinking of adding some stretching and light exercise

Gwen G.

I am doing the Bodi program, 9 Week Control Freak which incorporates a nightly stretch. Sometimes I just forget to do them at night. Going to try and fit that in before bed. :blush:

Hey hey…Happy Day of Rebirth & Renewal 🌱

Ok so wins first…
Well one win ?
I moved almost everyday! Some form of exercise except for Friday and today.

Challenges… 😩
Very very bad eating. Too many events starting Thursday night. Everyday has been pretty much terrible. And barely any water.

Scared to weigh myself tomorrow morning. 👀

Sighhhh….so, more water. And back to WW eating.

I have a cruise in one month and I’d like to be at least 10 pounds down.

How’s everyone else doing?

Anyone else have a challenging weekend?

Yesterday was a bit of a wash, but back to WW today! If I don't get back on track right after an off day, it'll get harder and harder, so I tracked breakfast and am ready to go!

All we can do is move forward! It sounds like you are doing great!

Kat

Tyyyy! Helping a friend pack for her moving day and man my brain wants to use it as an excuse to eat crap. :weary:
