Started the day on a happy note then nothing went right after ……
Went for a nice long walk to come down and had a healthy lunch : chicken breast sandwich with salad

Starting the morning right with yoga .
Sour dough bread , avocado and an egg for breakfast.

It’s Workout Wednesday!

Movement is an important part of weight loss. Walking is a great place to start! 👟

Getting more steps in can help:

- Burn extra calories
- Improve energy and mood
- Support heart health
- Reduce stress
- Build consistency without intense workouts

You don’t need perfect workouts to make progress. Sometimes it starts with simply moving more than you did yesterday 💪

💬 Do you have a daily step goal?

I’m grateful I get out with and for my dog!

Nice walk on a beautiful afternoon

It will be 2 years in Aug. since I started my weight loss journey

I have officially lost 80 pounds. Today I was 170.9. It’s been very slow, but steady. In the last 3 months I’ve lost 6 pounds. Averaging 8oz. a week is tiny, but it adds up. I’m still about 5 pounds above the “healthy” BMI weight range and I’m just fine if I never make that. I’m just so much more comfortable and happy at this size.

I went from XXL (18-20) and now I’m an XL (14-16) in pants/skirt and L (12-14) in tops. I absolutely love having so many more choices for clothes!

I haven’t made the monthly goals, but I’m still hopeful for our final July weigh in.

Welcome everyone!

We are entering the final push before Summer! Are you ready to crush your goals?

Now is the time to submit your initial weigh-in and take a moment to set some personal goals for this game. Once you've determined what your goals are (drink more water, workout goals, practice gratitude, sleep routine, etc), the key to success is having a SOLID PLAN in place and studies show that putting it in writing helps. I love using a planner and checklists as tools to help me stay on track :)

Plan your meals - Write down what you're having each day and have the ingredients on hand. Or do some meal prep! This leaves no reason why you have to go out or grab something quick that may not be as healthy.

Plan your workouts - Treat them like work and show up even if you don't want to go. Motivation might wear off, but discipline and consistency will get you results!

Track your water intake - Water is essential and we have to drink it! For some of us it comes naturally but for others, it's a chore. Find a way that helps you enjoy it and make it happen!

Track your food - It's easy to forget about those little "grabs" we do when we see snacks on the table. This will keep it real. Whether it's writing it down or just taking photos, the accountability really helps!

Get enough sleep - Getting adequate, quality sleep is an important part of a healthy weight loss plan.

Have fun and relax - Self care is important too!

Is your plan in place? What are some of your goals and what is your plan to make sure you accomplish those goals?

Feel free to share questions, comments, and inspiration along the way. We’re all in this together :)

Good luck everyone!
